PC World names Brown Zune one of the "Ugliest Products in Tech History"

PC World names Brown Zune one of the "Ugliest Products in Tech History"

PC World compiled a great list that has, humorously, been syndicated to MSN.com showcasing some of the ugliest products in Tech History. Microsoft managed to make the list twice (hence the humor since this is on MSN.com). The first item of theirs on the list? None other than Windows 1.0. It’s not hard to see why, is it? The second item on the list, is the little MP3 player that could (as long as it was for 3 days or 3 plays)…that’s right, the Zune. The poor little guy, I would seriously feel bad for it if it were alive. With its brick-like body and squishy brown skin…is there any Read more »

Marvel Comics Reveals the new Captain America

Marvel Comics Reveals the new Captain America

You may remember that earlier this year, Captain America was assassinated. Well, you comic book geeks out there will, no doubt, be interested to know that a new Captain America is finally making his way into the comic pages of the Captain America monthly comic in January of next year. This new Cap was designed by Alex Ross, and everyone involved assures us all that the fact Cap is running around with a gun and knife are, in no way, a statement about America as it is today. Yeah…right. The design is an interesting one, but I don’t think I care for the shiny metal look of the colored parts Read more »

3 Guys with free time build giant Transformer

3 Chinese friends dropped about $8,000 to construct this Bumble Bee looking robot they call Autobox X2. It’s their very own Citroen C2 Transformer – except, of course, that it doesn’t Transform. Still, it’s an amazing piece of art. So what are these three friends going to do with a giant robot statue? Who knows…but they are already working on their next project….Optimus Prime! via Oh Gizmo!

Xbox360 Arcade Pack in the Wild!

Xbox360 Arcade Pack in the Wild!

So it looks like that Xbox360 Arcade pack that has been rumored is actually happening. This image from Gamespot, shows the Xbox360 Arcade pack details. The system comes with a 256mb Memory Card, 5 Xbox Live Arcade Games, and a Wireless Controller for $279, the same price as the current Core system. This bundle appears to be targeted at the Wii buying audience, it’s a pretty darn good deal. I don’t think I’d buy a 360 without a hard drive, but if you’re on a budget, the Arcade pack may be the best way to go. Read more »

LG CU920 Prada coming to AT&T

LG CU920 Prada coming to AT&T

Gizmodo captured some spy shots of the LG CU920 Prada phone that is coming to AT&T. That’s right, AT&T is going to be the home of LG’s iPhone knock off/rival. The Prada phone is supposedly 3G, although Gizmodo said it took forever to load up their site. The phone features the same zoom functionality of the iPhone on webpages, but apparently isn’t as easy to use. Frankly, this phone looks like a cheap iPhone knock-off to me, Prada or not. It’s also rumored that it has an antenna – which is just weird. Read more »

PS3 to double as IPTV box – in Korea

PS3 to double as IPTV box – in Korea

Korea’s primary telecom operator, KT, and Sony are teaming up to add more value to the PS3 for Korean customers. They are planning to launch an Internet TV service that will run on the PS3. Right now that’s all the information that we have. Neither company is willing to give up any additional info at this time. The real question for those of us that don’t live in Korea is…will we be getting something similar down the road? An IPTV solution for the PS3 would be a real value-adder in my opinion, if done properly. The PS3 seems to be a pretty interesting device…as long as you don’t want to Read more »
