Spiderman 3 Trailer


One word... "VENOM"!!! Looks great. You can downlod the new trailer in 720p here. Right click and choose "Download Linked File" on OS X or "save as" on windows.

Yves & Jean


Very cool. I can't believe they can play those... they are huge.

Gears of War


I just bought Gears of War for the 360 and I gotta say it's one of the best games I've played on the system so far. It takes a little getting used to but once you get it it's great. I havn't had much time to sit down and really play it but so far I am diggin it big time. And the graphics are amazing. IGN gave it a 9.4. Click on the title for IGN's video review.

Rossetta now Faster


Since Apple released 10.4.8 there has been a 36% increase in apps running in Rosetta. Just another reason to go Intel baby. Very nice. Macworld has some real world benchmarks.

Gears of War Played On 65 Foot IMAX screen


Some guys hooked up the new Xbox 360 game "Gears of War" in a IMax theater. Wow now that's how you play video games!

Afloat


Does Vista's Arrow "see-through" windows have ya jealous? Well now you can make your Mac windows translucent too. With Afloat you can see what's behind your open windows in OS X. I will say I have never been a fan of this idea. I think it's distracting but there you have it.

Russian Coffin Buries You with Panic Button


This coffin includes a panic button just incase.
Pushing the panic button, which glows in the dark, alerts the cemetery caretaker who can then dig you back up - engadget.com

Words and Meanings - "Bite the Bullet"



"Bite the Bullet"

In the days before effective anesthetics soldiers were given bullets to bite on to help them endure pain. Improvements in battlefield medicine has seen the real act of biting bullets migrated into metaphor, although it must still happen occasionally.

Mac Tracker


Right... so here's a fun little app for all the mac fan boys. It's called Mac Tracker. It has all of the technical specs for every Apple hardware product ever made. Great if you need to know what kind of RAM you need to buy. And it's kinda fun to look at the specs on the old macs and ipods. Ok... ok I'm a nerd. But you know you wanna look too.

HDTV and HD movie downloads for your XBOX 360


On November 22nd -- the year anniversary for the Xbox 360 -- Microsoft is announcing something fairly momentus, not for the gaming community, but for the CE industry. The Xbox 360, along with Akimbo, will be among the first mass-market devices able to download high def television programs -- and the first we know of in the states able to download HD movies. The service is called Xbox Live Video, and the fall update enables customers to spend their Microsoft points on standard and HD television from CBS, MTV, Comedy Central, VH1, Turner, and UFC, as well as HD movies from Warner Bros., Paramount, and so on. - engadget.com

This is awesome...
