The Star Wars Portion Of The Internet Can Close Down Now

Ever thought that John Williams’ classic Star Wars theme music needed a disco beat and lyrics to be appreciated properly? And, if possible, that those lyrics be sung in Japanese? Rejoice; your day has come. Behold the genius of Masato Shimon: AltJapan has, thankfully, provided a partial translation of the lyrics of the song: Far,…

But will it run Android? https://gizmodo.com/the-eeephone-cometh-asus-to-launch-android-phone-in-09-5070288 Asus head Jonney Shih told the Times’ Saul Hansell that the forthcoming Eee Phone will be integral for controlling a…

Obama Gets a Wii For Christmas, Totally Going to Blow Off Work to Play

Apparently, President-Elect Obama got his girls a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, and he’s practicing his bowling skills using Wii Sports. Kind of cool, but I wish he had an Xbox and played CoD4 multiplayer. Apparently he’s way better at Wii Bowling than he is at regular bowling, which shouldn’t be too hard seeing how horrible…

Heroes Could Soon Shed More Of Its Original Cast

We mentioned the other day that a major star wants to leave the cast of Heroes at the season’s end. Now we’re hearing it’s actually two stars — who have reason to complain.

Slacker Radio Now Available for the iPhone

We knew it was coming, but now the Slacker internet radio app is officially available on the iPhone. https://gizmodo.com/slacker-radio-now-available-for-blackberry-coming-to-i-5127154 I’ve played with it briefly, and the experience has been fantastic so far. Because Apple does not allow caching like RIM does with the BlackBerry, the content is streaming—but the music plays back well even when…

Why Sports on a Widescreen TV is a Ripoff…Sort Of

The folks at Blue Donut have a warning for anyone wishing to upgrade to a widescreen TV to watch sports: it’s a ripoff because networks are not taking full advantage of the technology. Specifically, they are referring to the extra space you gain from the wider perspective. Because TV networks employ “center-cut protection” to ensure…

Less Nakedness In Sin City 2

The sexy blond twins from Sin City, played by Jamie King, gave the press an update on the status of Sin City 2. According to King, Frank Miller just finished the script, and filming may happen later this year, but sadly there will be no black and white naked King scenes (which I’m kind of…

Apple Patents iSight Cam Behind Laptop Screen, Will Hear From Errol Morris’s Lawyers

A recent Apple patent for an iSight camera located behind the screen instead of above it sounds like a cool idea—too bad a system just like it has already been invented. By the director of some of Apple’s most memorable commercials, no less! Errol Morris’s awesomely-named Interrotron system captures the first-person interviews for his documentaries…

Cylons Declare War On This Week’s Comics

This is apparently the week where comics imitate real life. Not because this week’s books are especially topical, but rather because this week’s shipping list is, really, all about Battlestar Galactica. Okay, sure; there are other books being released this week that you might want to check out. Dark Horse are starting a new series…

Folks from Stuff Magazine (it soldiers on!) were in Japan recently, and they got a chance to film this Attenborough-esque nature video of Sony’s new X-series MP3 Walkman caught in the wild. Shhh, it’s coming out of its lair now to display this yellow brick road of scrolling album covers. Astounding! Resemblance to its similar…

The Forbidden Fantasy Photography of William Mortensen [NSFW]

How Asteroid Apophis Could Destroy the US West Coast in 2029

The final episode of SGA managed to score 2 million viewers, capping off an incredibly successful season that had seen…
