It’s time to turn in your teasin’ comb and go back to high school.
If watching Olivia Newton-John on Glee got you thinking about the kids of Rydell High, you’re in luck. Paramount is giving you the opportunity to don your Pink Ladies and T-Birds jackets once again.
On July 8, one of the movie industry’s biggest musicals will strike “Greased Lightening” once again. That’s when select cities across the country will show a sing-a-long version of the movie Grease. The film’s re-release follows the previous special editions of Mamma Mia! and Hairspray.

ATT wants to charge you for letting them use your broadband connection that you already pay for
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smartphones, Editorial, Wireless / WiFi,
You know, back when AT&T announced that calls made through their 3G MicroCell device would count against your minutes, we were kind of appalled that they’d charge for a device that helps them appropriately cover their service area, and then charge you for using said device to make calls, when the device routes its data through your home broadband connection that you already pay for. We were appalled, but not surprised.
However, today we are absolutely shocked at the latest tidbit of 3G MicroCell related news, as it has now come out that AT&T is also going to charge data used through the device (again, data that is going through your home broadband connection that you already pay for,) against your AT&T wireless data plan. Think about that for a moment, and let it sink in. AT&T, because they seemingly can’t get their act together and provide proper coverage, needs to sell the 3G MicroCell as a means to make up for the difference. You pay $150 to buy the MicroCell, which improves the signal in your home because it uses your much faster broadband connection. That should be the end of the story—but it’s just the beginning.
Kinect to launch at $149? Gamestop thinks so
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Release Dates, Rumors, Xbox 360,
Looks like Gamestop wasn’t shy about putting up a price for Kinect, the Xbox 360 wireless control system (formerly known as Project Natal) that Microsoft failed to price at their E3 2010 Media Briefing. Shortly after the briefing ended, Kinect made an appearance on Gamestop with a pre-order price of $149.99. The page has since been taken down, but we’re thinking that Gamestop wouldn’t haphazardly choose that price at random. When Kinect launches on November 4, we are guessing that you’ll need to be prepared to drop $150 and some change.

Xbox 360 slims down with 250GB HDD, built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi for $299
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Microsoft, Video Games, Wireless / WiFi,
At E3 2010, Microsoft just announced a brand new Xbox 360 design. The slim Xbox 360 launches today, selling for $299 (same price as the Elite) and has been not only redesigned on the outside, but the inside brings some excitement as well. First, it has a 250GB hard drive built in, and Microsoft says that it’s “whisper quiet.” It’s also got built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, which eliminates the need for that horrible $99 Wi-Fi add-on, and saves you come cash in the process. It’s got three USB ports on the rear, along with a new AUX port, and dedicated Toslink as well. As we said, these are shipping this week, and should show up on places like Amazon and Gamestop at any moment.
Starbucks Wi-Fi to go free starting July 1
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Wireless / WiFi,
Starbucks just announced that they are dropping their Wi-Fi fee starting on July 1. That’s right, Wi-Fi at all Starbucks locations will be free from July 1 on. In fact, as you can see in the tweeted announcement, it will be 1-click to log on, no registration required. Starbucks Wi-Fi is currently powered by AT&T, but going forward, the company will be partnering with Yahoo! to provide the free service to customers. This is a big move, since Starbucks is pretty much, well, everywhere.

DJ Hero 2 trailer: Two turntables and a microphone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Activision, E3, Music, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360,
We were big fans of the original DJ Hero, so you can bet that we’re really excited about DJ Hero 2 and all the enhancements that come with the title. Launching this fall, DJ Hero 2 aims to be more social than the original by focusing on multiplayer aspects. Obviously, in the trailer, you’ve got three people playing together—two of them using turntable controllers, and the third singing into the mic. As far as artists features in the game, you can expect names like Dr. Dre, The Chemical Brothers, Kanye West, Metallica, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and over 85 others.
Another complaint about the original DJ Hero was that you kind of had to stick to the script. A big part of DJing is freestyling your way to creating your own sound. In DJ Hero 2, that’s fixed as well, with over 70 tracks available for you to do your will with. We will hear more about the title at E3 next week, and seriously, fall can’t come soon enough.
Trade in your iPhone for cash and cover the cost of the iPhone 4!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds, Hot Deals,
Over on the Gear Live Twitter account, we’ve been talking about a partnership we would be forming with Gazelle so that those of you with an original iPhone, iPhone 3G, or iPhone 3GS could trade in your device for cash. Why would you wanna do that? Well, with the iPhone 4 set to be released in about two weeks, the easiest way to upgrade is to sell your current device to get cash to put down towards the new one. In fact, depending on the condition of your current model, you could even walk away with enough money to cover the cost of a new iPhone 4, and have some left over to put in the bank (or to buy a case or something.) If you want to take a look at what you could get for trading in your current iPhone, here’s the list:
- 32GB iPhone 3GS
- 16GB iPhone 3GS
- 16GB iPhone 3G
- 8GB iPhone 3G
- 16GB Original iPhone
- 8GB Original iPhone
- 4GB Original iPhone
Just choose your iPhone model above, and full in the four questions that ask about the condition of your phone, and you’ll see the amount that you will be paid for your device. If you are cool with it, accept the offer, and you ship your phone. Couldn’t get any easier.

My Reactions to Lady Gaga’s Alejandro Video
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Music Videos, Videos, Pop,
What a better way for Lady Gaga to celebrate June 8th than with a video that is over 8 minutes long?
In this Steven Klein-directed clip for “Alejandro,” the singer takes a relatively simple approach when it comes to hair and costuming. She didn’t, though, spare any drama when it came to the video itself.
WARNING: This clip for “Alejandro” is NSFW. So you might have to settle for my initial reactions after the jump.
