Hot on the heals of the announcement yesterday that the Halo movie will be released in Summer 2007, Microsoft announced today that they will delay the release of Halo 3 to coincide with the release of the movie.
Fox And Universal have come to terms with Microsoft, finalizing the Halo movie contract and agreeing on a [...]

As jeremy announced yesterday Google talk is here and it’s pretty much what we expected. It’s a simple, clean and light IM client for Windows, however, you can connect to is using other IM Clients.

If you use Firefox and are a web designer, you more than likely use the superb Web Developer Toolbar developed by Chris Pederick. It looks like his Firefox toolbar has been ripped off as an Internet Explorer add-on.
A company named Aevita recently announced a new add-on for Internet Explorer called Web Inspector. I will let [...]
