Best Buy Is Losing Its Edge
The electronics industry did a heckuva thing in the decade and change that I worked at Best Buy as a floor-level grunt. Music on compact discs peaked and vanished, a sea of other retailers bit the dust, but even the big blue box that survived it all became slightly more irrelevant in an era of internet commerce and discount outlets. Isn’t it then ironic that the world’s largest electronics retailer is looking more draconian in an era of Facebook and Foursquare?

UPDATED: Looks Like Two & A Half Men is Cancelled
Just hours after Charlie Sheen did two interviews CBS and Warner Brothers have stopped production for the season. There is no word if it will come back, I’m guessing that it won’t. CBS and Warner Brothers had this to say: Read the rest of this article…
Uh-oh: Sprint And Samsung Pull Froyo Update For Epic 4G Because Of Data Problems
Sprint giveth, Sprint taketh away. After the Epic’s 2.2/Froyo update started going out Over The Air (OTA) for Samsung’s Epic 4G, the nation’s third-largest carrier started getting an influx of calls from customers being unable to access content on their SD cards. The update has since been pulled to iron things out while those suffering with data issues are advised to do a hard reset (read: flashing the phone to a just-out-of-the-box state). As an Epic user, I haven’t had any issues since I grabbed the update directly from Samsung’s website and installed it via USB, but here’s hoping this doesn’t stymie further updates to the feature-beleaguered phone.

Teaser Trailer Released For The Hangover 2
Maybe it’s because the first Hangover did about half a billion dollars at the box office (which still absolutely blows my mind), but they’re doing another one. Apple just put up the new teaser trailer and, y’know, whatever, enjoy it I guess. I didn’t care much for the original, partially because it wasn’t terribly funny, but also the idea of getting over a hangover in Vegas came off as one of the most easy ideas for a movie in existence. Anyway, this new film sends the Wolfpack to Thailand for Stu’s (Ed Helms) wedding where they encounter a barrage of crazy cameos and I’m sure, possibly, a hangover. We’ll see.
This is for all the Girl Gamers out There

I don’t know if you guys have seen the video above but CollegeHumor came out with another just as funny video where girl gamers strike back against the guys on Xbox Live. I almost spit out my coffee when I watched these. The newest video is after the jump. Enjoy

Sprint’s First Windows Phone Lands March 20th… And I’m Not Getting It
As the self-proclaimed World’s Largest Windows Phone Fan, it seems incredibly difficult for me to actually own a Windows Phone. Eight years loyal to Sprint and three years loyal to the Windows-based Zune phone, Microsoft launched it last October with internationally-favored GSM hardware to reach the broadest audience out of the gate. This meant no Sprint phone. Now that the HTC Arrive has finally been announced, I have to say with a frown and an air of disappointment that I’m still not going to get my hands on one. As Bob Dole once said, I just can’t win.

Why Aren’t Games Fun Anymore?
This is bizarre: almost every game I’ve purchased in a physical format – a shiny disc in a plastic case – I’ve wanted to immediately resell. What the heck is wrong with me?
