Michael Jackson Memorabilia Auction

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, Music,

MJ Catalog We guess it is truly the end of a pop star era with a planned auction from Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. Julien’s Auctions will be offering over 2,000 items that include his white-jeweled glove, arcade games, Disney memorabilia, and garden accessories. If you would like to partake or simply keep track of the action, Julien’s will be broadcasting on national TV and stream video through their site on April 21 through 25. We expect things will not go cheaply. A Limited Edition Catalog, signed by the Pop King himself, is available for $500.00, $100.00 without the signature. No word on if any of this is related to Michael Jackson’s medical issues.

Atari Attempts Comeback

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, MMORPG, PlayStation 3, Retro, Wii, Xbox 360,

Atari’s new president Phil Harrison has plans to have its name associated with more than simply retro gaming. Their “Jenga World Tour” and “Godzilla Unleashed” didn’t receive the best of reviews so they plan to move into MMO games, such as “The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf” that will be released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 late next year. Other plans include “EVE Online,” “Ready 2 Rumble Revolution” on Wii and “Ghostbusters: The Videogame.” Be that as it may, we still remember when “Asteroids” was hot enough for us and were grateful for the Atari name.

TiVo Your Domino’s Pizza

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Home Entertainment, Smart Home, Internet,

You can already order Domino’s Pizza online or from your cell phone, and now TiVo has added the service to its menu. Ask for delivery or pick-up, then track the delivery from your TV. Although there is no charge for the service, you will have to look for the take-out restaurant’s advertising entry points and click on “I Want It.” Set up a user name and password on Domino’s site or enter your address on TiVo, then build your own. You have to pay by cash when it comes, which they say should be within 30 minutes.

Microsoft Web-Based Office Suite

MS Office Microsoft is planning a web-based version of their Office suite, which will include full versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. As long as you have a Firefox, IE or Safari browser, you can access it from anywhere. The company has not given an official public release date, but you can probably expect it in late 2009. This should give iPhone and other handheld addicts another source of happiness since they have even more reason now to use them more than their computers.

Clever Pizza Hut. They know when you are writing on walls or hunting fellow zombies in Facebook, you just don’t have the time to cook or get to Taco Bell. Although they already have online ordering, they have designed an application so that you can order pizza, chicken wings and pasta without leaving the site. The Pizza Hut Interface already has over 300,000 fans, in the U.S. and the company claims they have already sold over a million pizzas online.

Cryptic Studios Star Trek Video Game

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Movies, Video Games,

Cryptic Studios has announced that they are developing Star Trek Online, as well as for some consoles. Set 30 years after the last film, the game is not only a role-player, it will have player-vs-player combat. Look for Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Klingons, and more. Each player has its own vessel to command and can team up for battles. We like the looks of the preview, although we really think Shattner should have voiced the intro. For more info, read an interview by GameSpot with Cryptic’s EP Craig Zinkievich.

Stephen Colbert Shines as Webby Winner

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Internet,

Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert won’t be winning a bid in the U.S. Presidential election, but he has managed to walk away with one prestigious award on the year.

Colbert was recently named “Person of the Year” and given a Webby award to mark his feat. Webby awards, a vehicle dreamed up by the Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, are given out for Internet excellence, and those people who do their part to maintain this ideal. The award ceremony takes place June 9 and 10 in New York, but the winners are (as part of Webby tradition) only allowed to make a five-word acceptance speech.

“Person of the Year” is the highest Webby honor. Colbert won for “the innovative way he has used the Internet to interact with fans of The Colbert Report.” Also known as the Colbert Nation, these fans have oft been prompted by Colbert to participate in online activities, such as changing the status of the American buffalo on Wikipedia.

Juno Movie Available Via iTunes

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Fox Searchlight, Comedy, Home Entertainment, New Releases, Technology,

Juno, Ellen Page While iTunes users have become used to seeing selections from Disney, DVD offerings from other studios have not come as quickly as some might have liked. But it looks like things may soon change.

Just today, Fox made Juno available for download via the popular site. This is the same day the Oscar-nominated film was placed on store and rental shelves. It’s likely the studio will allow more current titles to be sold in the future, but no immediate plans have been announced.

Meanwhile, Paramount has also started to dabble in Apple‘s waters as well. The company recently offered up Beowulf for purchase shortly after it debuted on DVD in February.

At last check, Juno (on sale for $14.99) was iTunes’ top seller.
