StarCraft 2: Ghost of the Past Trailer Is EPIC

It’s not every day a video game comes out with cinematic-quality goodness. Blizzard, well known for this in most of its games, has released yet another trailer for it’s upcoming StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Unlike most trailers, however; this one is so epic that I felt as if I was watching an actual movie trailer. There’s loss, denial, explosions, and glowing-eye devil girls with skinless wings. What more could a gamer ask for? More action than the movie 300? You bet.

Google Takes A Jab At iPhone’s Lack Of Multitasking And Push Notifications

Oh snap! While Google’s Vice President of Engineering, Vic Gundotra, may be stoked that his Android platform being the new GPS of the century, he was overly excited about said operating system‘s new messaging service and ability to multitask. With that said, he decided to make a clear jab at Apple’s lame excuse for notifications (read: “push”) and it’s clear lack of multitasking. During this mornings keynote on Android, Gundotra had this to say: Read more

Panasonic Ditches The Computer Monitor For Skype Video Conferencing

Finally, futuristic technologies are finally becoming more prominent in today’s gadgets. Saying that, this isn’t Avatar and we can’t scroll through the endless terrain of Pandora in beautiful 3D holograms, but it’s going to be nice to video chat (or video conference) on your TV. Read more

Flash Finally Arrives Perfectly On Your Mobile Device

It’s been quite a year for Flash. The the once desktop-centric multimedia content has been [basically] banned from certain mobile devices; but that hasn’t pushed it completely away from the entire market.

Free Place To Advertise Vacation Rentals

I help manage my boss’ vacation rental over at Boardwalk Beach Resort. For the past couple of years, we’ve paid hundreds of dollars to advertise her rental on VRBO. While we’ve received numerous inquiries and rentals from that website, I’ve always hated the way you updated and managed the property online. And no doubt we hate being slapped with a $300+ bill each year. Read more

Opera Mini 5 Browser for iPhone Is Fast, Unapproved For Now

Opera has recently submitted a new iPhone/iPod touch app that looks to set the new speed for internet browsers on Apple’s little devices. The video above, which demonstrates some blazing speed, is the Opera Mini 5 browser. It’s very intuitive, fast, and — dare I say — better than Apples default browser. Sure it’s not approved by Apple, but lets hope it does.

Engadget Going Overboard With New Header

I’m all for Engadgets revised and revamped new site. Ever since they changed it back in November, they’ve tweaked things here and there, usually for the good. But, it’s the new header that’s getting a bit — how do you say — overcrowded.

Maybe its me. Maybe I’m just simple-minded. Is it me? Just look at the image above. That’s the [newest] header. Clearly I liked the one before, but this new version just seems a overboard and dare I say… ugly. There’s just too much color, too many titles, and too much content in one area.

Go back to the one big header, Engadget. Go back.

Looptworks Offers Up(cycled) Laptop Sleeves For $30

Looptworks is offering some pretty sexy laptop sleeves for $30. Best of all their completely upcycled. Yeah, I didn’t say recycled, — although in a way it really is — I said upcycled.

Upcycling is the process of converting waste materials or useless products into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value.

These badboys are made from excess scraps of nylon neoprene so you know you’re little darling will be cushioned all around. It also comes in two colors: yellow and gray (with a sweet camo lining). I have a feeling you’ll probably dig the latter being the yellow is honestly an eyesore. Grab yours here.
