Comic book legend Frank Miller is hard at work directing the big screen adaptation of The Spirit — the seminal comic book that Will Eisner created.
Miller has been gushing about his actors in his blog — and I think his praise is well placed. With actors like Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Eva Mendes, Gabriel […]

The format war is over.
As I’ve always told my friends, Blu-ray is going to win and I am quite glad that I actually got it right (imagine the ridicule I would’ve received from them had HD-DVD won). With just one format in the High-Def playground, the Blu-ray group can now refocus its attention to making […]

It’s news like this that make me feel like hell has gotten a bit colder. After the numerous complaints regarding the way Internet Explorer 7 was distributed, it looks like Microsoft is going to let everyone will be able to get their hands on the first IE8 beta when it comes out (or at least […]

When I opened the Apple store this morning to find the best iPod I could for my friend’s budget I was surprised to see that it was down, so I knew something new was coming, and the “new” products left me going “meh”.
Apple upgraded the processors of their “older” laptops to the latest Intel […]

While at the Northern Voice conference in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, I was able to meet up with a few of the folks that work on Flock, the social web browser. I asked them many questions, some harder than others, and they answered them with grace, so much so that I am going to be […]

While at Northern Voice this year, one thing that was brought up was the quality of online video. I mentioned how I thought Stage6 with their online version of DivX was the best, and unfortunately, it seems I promoted it too late. Stage6 is set to be shut down at the end of this month. […]

It’s been a while since I reviewed any product I bought, but it’s been even longer since I purchased one that really made me feel like I got my money’s worth. Thankfully, the VX is probably the most satisfying mouse I have ever bought.

If you share similar tastes to mine you’ll agree that this is […]

We’ve finally seen a new clip of Ninja Gaiden 2 and it’s a whole six minutes long.  If you’re not familiar with the series, your character is Ryu Hyabusa (who you may recognise from Dead or Alive).  He’s a ninja with some amazing movement abilities (such as a double jump, water running and all manner […]

Over on GadgeTell there is a great post about the format wars, and how the winner, Blu-ray, came out on top, not from the consumer side, but instead from the industry side.
According to an analyst at ABI research the end of the format war was not the true measure of consumer demand when it came […]

Since having a chance to play Silent Hill: Origins on the PSP I’ve pretty much been hooked.  So it was with great pleasure that I took delivery of the highly innovative Patapon very recently - and I’ve had much fun playing it ever since.
The storyline follows the Patapon tribe that has lived in a desolate […]

Apparently, there’s a new sport that’s taking off across the western world - and its name is ‘speedcabling‘.  Basically, you see that jumble of wires behind your desktop, and if you’re particularly unlucky even your laptop?  Well, the concept behind this sport is to unjumble all those wires.  In the fastest possible time that you […]

Writing an article such as this one makes me realize how old my computer is right now, as the Hard-drive I’m currently using only has 500gb of capacity, and Buffalo is now releasing a very small portable one.
These hard-drives come with the “Turbo USB” feature that Buffalo uses, and they claim that their products with […]

In the latest years gaming consoles have become more “interactive” than ever. And that field has been particularly interesting in the last couple of years with the release of consoles like the Nintendo DS and the Wii, and gaming accessories from titles like Samba de Amigo and Guitar Hero which “tie” us closer to the […]

 
Nintendo Co. Ltd. is further cementing its hold on the top spot of the console charts by releasing two new reasons for buying the top selling console.
The company recently announced that its new Wii Fit physical fitness game will finally ship to the US this coming May 19. The new game will be bundled with […]

 
I’ve been quite busy lately taking care of my other businesses that I haven’t been able to really tinker with my ASUS EEE. I’ve been bringing along my new baby to my meetings though and the reaction has been universal. Everyone wants to touch it and play with it and almost always everyone wants to […]

Well no-one has commented on it yet, so I felt I had to. What I’m referring to in both the title and that somewhat esoteric comment is the new 3rd person action game to hit shelves - Devil May Cry 4.
Let me just come out and say it - this is one amazing, if […]
