    iBuyPower outs its first Core i7 gaming notebook, the Battalion 101 W870CU & M980NU

    IBuyPower is back with a good looking Core i7 gaming notebook. The 17.3-inch Battalion 101 W8u0CU packs just about everything you would expect from a top-tier notebook with the a price tag to match. Or you could opt for the M980NU and net a huge 18.4-inch 1080p LCD. That is, of course, if you don't ever plan on moving the damn thing.

    Family Guy’s “Something Something Something Dark Side” trailer

    Everyone agrees that the first Family Guy Star Wars parody, Blue Harvest, was TV at its finest, right? It was such a big hit that Fox is going to release the second one on DVD on December 22 before airing it on TV with the hope fans will actually spend money and buy the damn thing. If the trailer is any indication of the episode's awesomeness, some people might actually do just that. Who knows, maybe even me.

    Lesson of the day: Ask just one more question

    This monster box was just dropped in my livingroom by Fedex. I can’t tell you what it is right now but don’t get that excited about the contents. The damn thing shouldn’t even be on CrunchGear. When I agreed to the early look, I didn’t ask enough questions instead I blinded agreed to review it. What [...]

  • Secret copyright treaty is the most annoying thing you’ll read all year

    Secret copyright treaty is the most annoying thing you’ll read all year

    A great African American civil rights activist one said, “I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.” That's how I feel about copyright these days. You've got these entrenched business interests who seemingly have their favorite congressmen on speed-dial, and then you have people who, God forbid, would like to see these businesses embrace new, practical business models that don't automatically assume their customers are potential criminals. But this! This latest development has me thinking, “You know what? Just shoot me. Go ahead, I'll even buy the ammo from Wal-Mart if you want. I don't have to pay my student loans any more (take that, Citibank!), and I won't have to worry about being treated like a criminal by the likes of whatever stupid entertainment company is in Congress' good graces this week. Win-win.”

    Video: Wherein CBS makes a fool of itself by showing it has no idea what it’s talking about re: movie piracy

    Bias much, CBS? The network ran a report on 60 Minutes the other day (which shows how far off our radar the show is, seeing as though we just found out about it) that, according to TechDirt's fantastic report, is basically a piece of MPAA propaganda. It makes all sorts of ridiculous claims that can easily be disproven by, you know, spending two minutes looking this stuff up.

    xkcd charts characters from LOTR, Star Wars, Jurassic Park & more, I waste my morning

    Damn, xkcd comics. I got up early this morning – with a little help from the time change – with good intentions. That was until I saw the new xkcd comic that charts character grouping throughout some of the most epic movies. I wasted my morning looking at this damn thing and you probably will [...]

    When two worlds collide, the Transformers Rubix cube emerges

    Yeah, we get it. It’s a Rubix Cube that’s supposed to look like the AllSpark of Transformers’ lore. Clever. Hopefully those shinny stickers come off nice and easy so I can solve the damn thing. $13.99 and coming in November. [Entertainment Earth via Gearfuse]

    The Dell Adamo XPS’s pricing has been revealed, the usual questions remain

    Dell has been playing the media with the Adamo XPS with tid-bits of info here and there. First there was a teaser site, followed by a lackluster press conference, and then two more product shots. At least the price has been finally released by a Business Week article, which states the halo computer will carry a $2,000 price tag. But other than that expect price tag and a little gimmick heat-sensing strip on the lid that, when swiped with a finger, glows white and opens the lid, the Adamo XPS is still a mystery.

    Video: Some kid makes the PSP that Sony should have made 5 years ago

    Sony would do well to hire the man who put this PSP mod together. It's basically what the PSP should have been since Day One: a built-in camera, 32GB of flash memory, and a second analog stick. Well, you have to stretch the definition of analog stick here; it's that nub thing.

According to HTC CEO Peter Chou, we should see this hit the shores sometime in Q1 of 2010. Sure, it’ll still be [...]
