‘2 Guns’ Trailer Appears From Nowhere; Marky Mark And Denzel Star As Undercover Bank Robbers
Starring 2 Chainz! …I’m kidding.
I didn’t even know this movie existed, but after a glimpse of the trailer, I’m on-board. Wahlberg and Washington star as undercover bank robbers that don’t realize they’re undercover until after a successful operation. When things go south trying to dismantle a Mexican drug cartel, they’re disavowed by the government and on their own, because that’s how things ought to be, right?

Facebook Home Seems Really Great If You’re Not A Power User
It’s a very clever way to get rid of all that Google crap on your phone.
Look, a phone! It’s a new phone! It’s a forked OS! No, it’s just a new Facebook-designed launcher for Android! As I watched Facebook’s presentation for their new Home modification for phones being powered by Google’s OS, which is quite a few, I kept wondering who this would be totally cool for? Despite the fact that I’ll throw it on my Galaxy Nexus – which isn’t one of the first five phones supported when it launches on April 12 – just to give it a whirl, I already know that keeping it on mid- to long-term is going to be a very difficult proposition.
Roger Ebert Is Dead. (1942-2013)
The world’s great film critic is now gone.
Despite a cautiously optimistic post yesterday announcing a break from his film critic profession, the Chicago Sun-Times has announced that the world’s most influential film critic has passed away at the age of 70.
Why Are People Reviewing The Ouya, Much Less Giving It Poor Scores?
That controller looks plush, definitely isn’t.
I was blown away this morning at the notion that The Verge went through all the hassle of creating a video review for the Ouya, that Android-powered console we’ve been talking about, then gave it a mind-blowingly low 3.5, perhaps the lowest score I’ve ever seen them give a product. So why are tech sites like The Verge treating this obviously pre-release hardware and software as final product and rating it for potential customers?
Facebook Wants To Know What You’re Doing Right Now To Help Its Poor Graph Search
Sadly lacking a ‘pooping’ option.
If you’re using Facebook at this point, this augmented interrogation is par for the course, but what can I say? It’s new! Inserting “Hey, <insert name here>, what are you up to?” flavor text was just the hook, Facebook wants you to tell its massive server farm your friends exactly what activity you’re up to. Why? Because their Graph Search still sucks.
Apple’s New Campus Should Be Over-Budget And Lovin’ It
The spaceship is still out there…
Regardless to where you fall on the fanboy spectrum, Apple’s planned toroidal silver campus, set to rest on a massive lot of trees, is going to be an amazing piece of architecture. Details are still scarce as to what’s really going inside the behemoth, conceived when stockholders weren’t frowning on the company’s product saturation levels and lack of groundbreaking iThings announced since Jobs’ death, but when the design calls for four stories of curved glass (and rooms to fit!), you know it was born with controversy as a middle name. Speaking of which, it’s $2 billion over budget.
New Trailer For ‘The Great Gatsby’ Licks Your Eyeballs With Visual Candy
The graphic design in these promo posters is oh, so great.
It’s a weird day when you’re pining to see a Baz Luhrmann film. Unlike most of you guys, I didn’t get to read The Great Gatsby in high school and since I didn’t, I never bothered to read it afterward, either. Apparently it’s a big deal, an incredible story of a man who will go to some pretty extreme lengths to impress a girl. Or something, I don’t know.
How Far Is It To Mars? New Site Shows Us It’s Still Really Far
Oh, reality, why must you get in the way so often?
You know what happens when you spend billions of dollars to send stuff to Mars? People pay attention, if only for a little bit. While Curiosity is off roving the surface of the red planet and lasering things (we mean no harm!), enthusiasm has sprung up in the American household to set foot on that distant world. Sometimes, though, we forget how far away that big ball of rock is.
