E3 2009: All Points Bulletin (APB) hands-on impressions
Posted by Drea Avellan Categories: Action, E3, Electronic Arts, PC, Reviews, Third Person Shooters,
All Points Bulletin (APB) is a third-person action game from the creators of Crackdown, Real Time Worlds. “Focusing on ‘the three C’s’—creativity, conflict and celebrity” APB gives the player freedom to create anything they want.
Creating your own characters and cars are things we have done before in games like Oblivion and Forza, but APB pushes this feature like never before. When in character creation, standard options like gender, skin tone and other physical features are available for customization. But APB goes a little bit deeper and allows you to pick a hairstyle and how long it needs to be or even pick breast cup-sizes for the girls. Tattoos? They got those too. Design your tattoo art, color and size to place anywhere you want it to be.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Handhelds, Rumors,
Apple will announce the iPhone Video at WWDC 2009 this coming Monday. That won’t be a surprise though, as many are expecting it, Walt Mossberg said it, and Apple needs to counteract the Palm Pre launch.
What you don’t know, though, is that Apple will likely make the iPhone Video available the same day. Yes, you will be able to pick up the next version of the iPhone on Monday, if you get to an Apple Store before they sell out.

Facebook coming to Xbox 360
In addition to Twitter, Facebook is also coming to the Xbox 360 this fall. You’ll be able to update your Facebook status, browse your news feed, view photos, and more, all from the Xbox 360. Even better? Games can take advantage of Facebook Connect, to publish screenshots and other details directly to your Facebook account, if you so choose. You’ll also be able to send Facebook friend requests to those in your Friends list on Xbox Live, if they’ve linked their Facebook and Xbox Live accounts. Get a look at the Facebook on Xbox 360 screenshots that we’ve put together, so you can get a better idea of how it will all work.

VIDEO: Bruno Forces Eminem to Leave the 2009 MTV Movie Awards
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Cable, MTV, Video,
UPDATE: You can read Eminem’s reaction to the planned stunt here.
What’s the best way to get on Eminem’s bad side? Well - if you’re Bruno, just get your naked rear in his face.
During tonight’s broadcast of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, actor Sacha Baron Cohen (promoting his movie about an Austrian fashionista) flew in from the rafters on on a high note…then descended toward the rapper’s low note. Needless to say, this prompted the musician and his crew to leave in disgust.

Video: Google Wave preview
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Google, Internet, Videos,
Yesterday, Google Wave was introduce at the Day 2 keynote of Google I/O. It’s pretty hard to give Google Wave a decent explanation, because it does so many things in new, amazing ways. Think of it as a hyper-communication tool that allows you to communicate with people, services, sites, etc. in brand new ways. The build of Google Wave demoed in the video is still very early, and just shows a fraction of what the final product will be able to do. You really do have to see it to believe it though. Oh, and I think that this is also evidence that HTML5 will officially, undoubtedly, rock.

Toy Story 3 teaser trailer

Video: Zune HD interface, hands-on
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Microsoft, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Videos,
Our friends over at Giz got a nice hands-on look at the Zune HD (which we happen to be giving away in our Zune HD contest), and have even got a quick interface tour on video. It’s only about a minute-and-a-half long, so don’t expect it to go too in-depth or anything, but it certainly shows how fast and responsive the Zune HD interface is, in comparison to that of the iPhone or iPod touch. Seriously, check out how fast the images respond to the accelerometer. We can’t wait for this thing to launch.

Zune HD revealed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, HDTV, Microsoft, Portable Audio / Video, Video Games,
Microsoft has finally unveiled the Zune HD. The touch-screen Zune is set to take on the iPod touch this fall, when it debuts. The Zune HD will feature an OLED screen, HD radio receiver, and a version of Internet Explorer specifically formatted for the Zune screen, and is based on Windows CE. The Zune HD will also play HD content on televisions using a dock.
Plans for the future involve the Zune ecosystem coming to the Xbox 360 for purchasing movies and television shows, as well as Zune showing up on other devices. Microsoft specifically declined to go into the gaming capabilities of the Zune HD, since E3 is happening next week. We should expect to hear about any portable Zune gaming news at their Xbox Media Briefing. Expect the Zune HD to replace the current line of flash Zunes, while the hard drive-based Zune players will remain. “This device is created to go head to head with the iPod Touch,” Chris Stephenson, general manager of global marketing for Microsoft Zune, said in a telephone interview.
We can’t wait to get our hands on this one.

Michael Jackson’s London Concerts Postponed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Pop,
Some of the first people in line for Michael Jackson may now be one of the last to see him in concert.
In a statement released today by AEG, the kickoff for Jackson’s London tour is being pushed back a whole five days. Unfortunately, this may actually mean a delay of a whole eight months for some.
“Due to the sheer magnitude of the This Is It concerts at the O2 Arena promoters and producers AEG Live and Kenny Ortega, Michael’s directorial partner and creative collaborator have elected to move back a few of the opening shows in order to meet the challenges presented by such a massive and technically complex show,” the concert promoter stated.
The first concert slated for July 8 will now take place on July 13. Those who had tickets for any of the next three shows will have to wait until March 2010. (July 10th is now March 1; July 12 is now March 3; July 14 is now March 6.)
Refunds are being made available for those who cannot attend their rescheduled show.
