Sony’s Long Live Play Campaign is Epic
If you follow this site you know that I’m not a big fan of the PS3. Between updates almost everyday and PSN being down for almost a month I’m turned off by it. I do however love their commercials especially when they had Kevin Butler, Director of Rumor Confirmation / VP of Fanboy Relations / First Person Sensei, doing the It Only Does Everything campaign. His energy was great, the content was great and the fact that each time he had a new title, genius. He was gone for a while but came back as “President, Economic Flooring” with Sony’s new PS3 campaign Long Live Play. Read the rest of this article…

NBC Cancels The Playboy Club, WTF!
There has only been three episodes. Three! The ratings fell from 5 million viewers for the first episode down to 3.8 million in the second and 3.2 in this latest one.

Apple Announcement Liveblogs Suck
If you’re a big Apple geek like me, waiting for an Apple announcement event is like sitting in front of a big present on Christmas morning. These events are huge and the media automatically flocks to them like a herd of sheep. But there’s always one type of media that’s missing every time — a camera that streams video of it across the internet.

Snap Up A Zune Now, Because Microsoft Will Never Make Them Again
We knew this was coming and now it’s finally here. Officially. Microsoft has secretly unveiled that they will no longer produce Zune-based hardware, instead opting to go with Windows Phone as their platform of choice. It’s been said before, but hearing from the horse’s mouth that there will no longer be Zune PMPs demarcates the end of an era and the tragic death of the best media player ever created with only half a decade under its belt.

iPhone 5: Who Cares?
We’re still hours away from what will probably be Apple Inc’s most important announcement of the year, but I’m making a wager: nothing they go over, no bullet points they unveil, no ‘magical, revolutionary’ features their newest phone has, will prevent them from losing even more mind and marketshare to Android. Their announcement today is a reaction to their steady decline (or really, lack of ascent) with an iterative product. Are you putting money on Cupertino’s biggest deal, because it sure seems quiet here…

Homeland – TV Review – Welcome Home, Marine?
It would’ve been so easy for Homeland to take the easy path; to bank on buzzterms like “PATRIOT Act” and “the War on Terror” when describing the return of Marine Nicolas Brody (Damian Lewis) after being imprisoned by Al Qaeda for eight years. And they don’t – thank God – leaving us to wonder, along with CIA agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), what exactly he was doing over there for so long, and why he’s acting so strangely upon returning home…

Need Text-to-speech? Our Natural Reader Review
Natural Reader is a free program that will read chunks of text out loud. I stumbled upon this program when browsing a writing forum that was talking about reading your work out loud, I thought it would be interesting to try and I was right. I don’t really expect much from a free version, except maybe the basic features, which this one does have, but I do expected it to work well.
