Onyx Online Could Turn iPhones Into Nifty Social Gaming Devices

Onyx Online, for the iPhone, is kind of like Xbox Live. Sort of. The ambitious service is the brainchild of Trism developer Steve Demeter, who hopes to add a slew of “social media” features to iPhone games, like leaderboards, achievements, forums, and the like. There’s even a pissing contest feature, wherein Onyx-enabled games will allow…

Transformers Is Still Filming After All?

So was Michael Bay’s blog announcement that Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen had wrapped another of his planned internet misinformation leaks, or is there more than meets the eye to this set report from the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis from this week? Either way, we have pics and very minor spoilers for you.The…

I’m a Gross, Sweaty Hipster, and I’m a PC

World-famous DJ/mashup artist Girl Talk (a.k.a. Greg Gillis) has gone on record: he’s a PC, and his sweatband may not be totally ironic. His “I’m a PC” short features a lot of his philosophies on music, which aren’t so interesting, and his habit of taping Saran wrap to his computer during shows, which is sort…

Heaven’s Gate UFO Cult Sneakers – Creepy, Wrong, or Fake?

Click to view Rumors are swirling that Nike discontinued work on this sweet black-and-purple prototype Dunk shoe because it reminded consumers too much of the Heaven’s Gate cult mass suicide. Really? On the Nike Skateboarding blog, they offer up this image of the shoe side-by-side with one of the victims of the Heaven’s Gate suicide…

Cross-California Bullet Train CGI Videos: Fast and Animated

When I lived in San Francisco, there were two things people wanted to talk about: tofu corn dogs and how much Southern California sucks. Well, get ready to kiss and make up (if you’re of different genders), because the California High Speed Rail Association has posted a bunch of videos of their planned 220 mph…

Google CEO Won’t Become Nation’s First Chief Tech Officer

I’m kinda disappointed Google CEO Eric Schmidt really won’t be the country’s first ever chief tech officer after all. Despite rumors and (fairly reasonable) speculation he was not-so-subtly campaigning for the position (and Obama), yesterday he definitively said that he wouldn’t take the position if offered: “I love working at Google and I’m very happy…

Whiny Anakin And Star Wars Techno Expose Clone Wars’ Shortcomings

Last night’s Clone Wars may not have looked promising from the teasers (Anakin loses R2 and whines about it! Oh no!), and perhaps that lack of interest was felt by the people behind the show, as well. How else to explain the sudden appearance of a distractingly non-John Williams-esque, Alias-like quasi-electronica soundtrack? Or, for that…

Carnivorous, Aphrodisiac Tribbles Overrun the Sanctuary

Sanctuary returned this week with another episode that was light on character development and heavy on the CG. And this week’s monsters are a set of deceptively cute, computer-generated puffballs that reproduce like super-powered rabbits and make everyone around them long to do the same. It sounds like a recipe for sexy, Star Trek-inspired fun.…

Beyonce Knowles As Wonder Woman? Yes, Please

Now that we know that it’s not Megan Fox, you may be thinking to yourself, well, who should be the movie Wonder Woman? One independent woman currently has her eyes on the role – and she’s doing her best to put a ring on it before it’s time to ring the alarm. Okay, I’ll stop…

Apple Shamed Into Shipping Tiny iPhone Power Adapter in Non-Gargantuan Envelopes

A couple weeks ago, Apple made its grand entrance into our Shipping Hall of Shame by sending out its new, less horrifically hazardous USB power adapter for the iPhone 3G in these monstrous boxes, despite their huge emphasis lately on going green. All those boxes really add up too, since Apple recalled every single adapter.…

Android Bug Reboots Phone Every Time You Type “Reboot”

The latest big bug discovered in Android has to be one of the craziest that’s shipped with a phone. Basically, Android invisibly interprets every word as a command and executes it with “superuser privileges.” If you open up your keyboard and type r-e-b-o-o-t, your G1 will, yep, reboot. (It’ll do this with any other command…
