Check out the very first images from the movie adaptation of winged-action videogame Tekken. Didn’t we learn our lesson with Street Fighter? Fighting games made into movies are never a good idea.

What Do You Think Steve Jobs’ “Blood-Curdling” First Name for the iMac Was?

The guy who came up with the name iMac said that Steve Jobs had a terrible first name for it. So bad it would “curdle your blood.” However, he didn’t say what it was. What could it be?

Official Microsoft Policy: If You a Buy a Used Xbox 360 That’s Banned From Xbox Live, You’re Just Screwed

Major Nelson, updating us on a periodic Xbox Live purge—banhammering cheaters, pirates and other folks of ill-repute, though not 12-year-olds—reminds us of Microsoft’s official policy that if you buy a used Xbox 360 that’s been banned, you’re screwed.

Olympus E-P2 Micro Four Thirds Camera Announced Tonight?

Now we’ve got what might be specs and the first look at Olympus’s EP-2, supposedly announced tonight. It’s decidedly less drool-inducing than the EP-1, and still doesn’t have flash, but just look at that periscope-huge viewfinder. Updated. Mark’s a micro four thirds convert, though he preferred Panasonic’s new GF1 to Olympus’s retro-sexy EP-1, which lacks…
