Sandisk has released a new shuffle-like mp3 player called the Sansa Clip that improves upon the shuffle concept in a variety of ways. I posted about this over at Apple Gazette and ruffled a few feathers by suggesting this could be a shuffle killer - but after finding out the pricing and storage capacity, […]

The Russian Court system has found that the CEO of AllofMP3.com was NOT GUILTY of breaking Russian copyright laws according to Tech Crunch.
EMI, NBC Universal and Time Warner led the case against the site, and have previously threatened to take the case to the World Trade Organization. You can bet they’ll be pursuing that […]

Coming down the pipeline from Anime News Network is some crazy news you likely weren’t expecting.  Tyndale House Publishers will be releasing a manga series aptly titled “Manga Bible” which will have popular Japanese manga artists retelling famous Bible stories.  Hidenoi Kumai has been announced as the author of the first volume, with Kazumi Shinozawa and […]

You read that right, folks. If you want the Halo Edition Zune, you’re going to have to be in the military, or know someone else who is. The Halo Zune is an exclusive that will only be sold in Military retail stores.
Microsoft is giving away 300 of them to a group of soldiers […]

Toshiba has their next wave of HD-DVD players in the pipeline for later this year, with the top model, HD-A35 getting a significant price drop over its predecessor, the HD-XA2. The previous model was $799, while this new version has dropped in price to $499.
These new models feature new case designs, and […]

Joss Whedon reported this weekend at Comi-Con that the often rumored “Ripper” series was now in development with the BBC as a 90 minute telefilm.
“Ripper” is the story of Rupert Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s former mentor and “Watcher” after he returns home to England. There is no word on if the […]

 
Last week, everyone was reporting that Target was going to only be offering Blu-Ray movies and equipment in stores.  The HD-DVD team quickly released a statement saying that Target would continue to offer players and movies in-store.  The deal that got everybody riled up was simply over an “end cap” that Sony bought to promote […]

Another video from the San Diego Comicon.  This time its of the upcoming big-budget Iron Man film.  The quality isn’t great since its from a camcorder, but it’s more than enough to get me excited.  I’m really starting to dig Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and man, the proto armor looks pretty tight.  I’ve […]

The San Diego Comicon has been pretty good, so far.  Entertainment News International has promotional clips for both Transformers Animated and The Spectacular Spider-Man.  Both look exceptionally good, to me.
Transformers Animated has me hyped the most.  The animation for the show is being done by Mook Studios, better known for their work on Swat Kats and […]

In anticipation, and to help promote, the next installment in the Indiana Jones franchise, production of Indiana Jones comics are kicking back into high gear, with a slew of books coming our way in 2008.
It looks like 2008 is going to be the year of Indy, and I can’t wait to see if “old Indy” […]

I hate the format war. I hated the DVD/Divx war, and I’m hating the HD-DVD/Blu Ray war even more. I want to upgrade to High Def disks for my DVD collection, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to choose one of these formats.
Drew posted earlier today about Microsoft announcing a […]

There have been rumors abound that Shatner was lobbying for a part, and/or furious that he wasn’t involved with the production. So, in pure Shat-tasic form, Bill sets the record straight…

Shatner Responds To The Star Trek XI Tabloid Reports

Laura Vandervoort is looking good as the smoking hot successor to the “super” tv mantle in these first picks of her in “costume” as Kara, Clark’s surviving cousin from Krypton. I think throwing Supergirl into the last season of Smallville is a pretty obvious attempt to keep the series going in the form of […]

Despite the snarkiness of the Crunchgear post where I found this image, comic book movies are doing very well (and yes, Peter, enough people saw Ghost Rider for it gross over $100 million and warrant a sequel…but Dear God, I can’t tell you why)…
The more I see from Iron Man, the more I think this […]

I am not a tough looking guy. I am pretty geeky, but I have always been fascinated with the idea of having a tattoo. My wife won’t let me have a permanent one, so the tattoos Archie McPhee have put out really appeal to me, in more than one way.

I really enjoy the image […]

Democracy Player, my favorite media tool on pretty much all of my computers, has changed its name to Miro.
The press release talks about Miro, and how the first version of Miro is just the last version of Democracy with tons of bug fixes, and that Miro will be working on creating a community. I […]
