Madonna: Time To Hang Up Those Dancing Shoes!
So the date is Sunday 5th February. There’s a tingle of excitement coursing through the veins of every man, woman and child in America. Of course it’s Super Bowl Sunday. Now as a non-American, my interest in American Football (I could get into the argument of should it really be called football but I’ll let it slide) came a few years ago when my brother started playing for his University team. I’ve not looked back since then having sat down to watch the last TWO Super Bowls.

Bob Harper To Endorse CrossFit?
Bob Harper, the tattood personal trainer on The Biggest Loser, was spotted doing a main site WOD (work out of the day) and recently earned a CrossFit certification. Sure it doesn’t like anything spectacular, but after Reebok and ESPN’s involvment, this might be another step for CrossFit’s mainstream popularity.

Windows 8 Killed The Start Menu Star
If Windows 8 could not come off as a more radical departure from its traditional 9x-derived design, it’s only going to get weirder. While rumored for some time, Microsoft will be releasing the ‘Consumer Preview’ of their newest operating system officially without a Start menu. Yes, a hallmark of the Windows environment will be going away and I couldn’t be more excited.

Just Cause 2 Retrospective: Racing Around The Best Game of 2010
If you missed the best game of 2010, that’s a shame, because it was called Just Cause 2. in this piece, I race around the entirety of the island nation of Panau, through its various biomes, jacking a half dozen vehicles in the process, and causing a little bit of havoc. Just a little bit, though.

The Best Commercials of the Super Bowl
I don’t know how I really feel about this years Super Bowl commercials, there are so many car commercials, it’s ridiculous. These aren’t necessarily the funniest commercials but overall the best commercials that should be watched. I thought it was funny this year ad makers were either getting excited for the commercial and airing them early or they were making teaser commercials for the commercial. We will be updating this list throughout the night so make sure you check it out often. Read the rest of this article…
Comedy Actors I Want To See More Of: Andy Samberg
Andy Samberg – This was a difficult one as Samberg hasn’t really appeared in that many films, the only two I have seen being the starring role in Hot Rod and the role of Paul Rudd’s brother in I Love You, Man. Samberg, like Bill Hader, is quite well known in the US, having also been a member of the SNL cast since 2005.The greatest weapon in his arsenal is the uncanny knack he has of combining slapstick comedy with good comedy to achieve very good results. I’m not the greatest fan of slapstick comedy due to its reliance on cheap laughs, doing the obvious and expected thing instead of putting a bit more time and effort into making something you can be proud of. With Samberg, the slapstick element comes in a physical form. As I’m sure you are aware, Andy Samberg has an abnormally wide mouth, and simply pulling faces that emphasise just how big it is, or pronouncing words in a funny way could make even the most stony-faced person crack a smile. Add to this his perfect timing and delivery and we have an all round comedy actor. Read the rest of this article…
Girl Scout Cookies: The Skyrim/iPad/Justin Bieber Of Food
How do I put this? Hmmm. The Girl Scouts’ annual cookie drive is like the arrival of a brand new phone, or game console, or highly-anticipated game. But it’s for normal people, like grandmad. Your heart would have to be as cold as stone to deny the meek Girl Scout’s request to buy some boxes of America’s favorite sugary treats when you exit the grocery store (y’know, after buying everything you already want? Location, location, location). As a former Boy Scout, I’m still not entirely sure what Girl Scouts do other than selling cookies.

Smartphones Bigger Than Personal Computers For The First Time Ever
I’m sure if you told anyone a decade ago that smartphone shipments would eventually exceed those of personal computers, they would’ve give you a ‘yeah, in twenty years’. Well, twenty years from ten years ago is now! Further to the point, I doubt anyone would’ve guessed that these new personal computers would be dominated by Apple and Google, rather than the zeitgeist of that era, Microsoft. Whether you’re an iOS guy or Android gal, we’re all leagues away from Microsoft’s early domination of the smartphone realm with Windows Mobile, which fell off in the late 00s, necessitating the under-performing Windows Phone.

Pepsi – King’s Court – Sell Out Spotlight
Do you know how the dark ages ended? Despite the vast conspiracy of high school textbooks that will lead you to believe it was the invention of the printing press, the easier spread of information, or a bunch of Italian artists, the real reason is far more dramatic: it was the toppling of Elton John, a Pepsi-hoarding king. In heels. Read the rest of this article…
