Gizmodo recently got hold of a picture that showcases the upcoming Zune 2 and Zune “Flash” players. Obviously this isn’t official, but it looks realistic enough to deserve an article of it’s own.

After Harry Potter and Transformers, it appears that we will have a small drought before the next must-see movie for geeks. Although I’m not a big fan of the first Resident Evil movies, this one looks a bit more interesting than them.

The movie will debut at the end of September, so if watching a hot […]
