Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsIn case you didn’t notice, Peter Ha was a tad upset when news broke about Fox recasting Futurama. Good news though, a deal has been reached.

Review: Universal’s Fast & Furious Blu-ray iPhone app (It’s a start)

Shock: High school student whose Kindle 1984 was deleted sues Amazon
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsYears from now, people will look back on the year 2009 as the year A) Apple lost the goodwill of a sizable chunk of the Internet audience; and B) when a high school kid sued Amazon because it remotely deleted an illegal copy of 1984. The kid is suing because he annotated the copy of the book, and now is without said notes. So of course, sue right?

Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
A CrackBerry reader sent in this AT&T in-store ad for an E71x that mistakenly has a BlackBerry interface. I don't know why I find this amusing but I do.

Posted on July 31, 2009 | No Comments
As we move farther and farther into the digital age, we begin to see some serious problems with an all-digital lifestyle. Take parking meters, for example.

This is Spinal Tap makes its way to Rock Band
Posted on July 31, 2009 | No CommentsQuestion: Do you guys still play Rock Band and/or Guitar Hero? If so, do you still enjoy it? I don’t think I’ve touched either title in over a year.
