The on-again-off-again relationship linking cancer to cell phone usage continues. This time, a recent study from the Danish Cancer Society in Copenhagen states that there has been sufficient evidence to state that cell phones do not increase the chance of brain tumors. Most studies that have stated otherwise in the past were criticized by how the studies were conducted. However, Dr Johansen of the Danish Cancer Society said: “We won’t be able to make any firm conclusions until we can confirm these results with studies with more long-term and heavy cell phone users.” Talk on.

Microsoft And Pepsi Xbox 2/360 Giveaway
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Video Games,
Engadget has come into some pretty interesting information. Microsoft plans to team up with Pepsi to give away some of its next generation gaming consoles to over 9,000 lucky people. Much like Pepsi did for iTunes, selected caps will have a registration code that Pepsi drinkers will use to enter the drawing. Microsoft will then give away one console every ten minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine weeks. Could this be an indication on the console’s price? Never the less, its good to see so much coming in to play as E3 approaches.

Just one more reason why Google is so awesome – granted this isn’t an official Google page, but it should be. Paul Rademacher has made an application of Google Maps to find a new home using residential listings from Craigslist. Now you can search for a new home, get directions for it and pictures of it from one place. If satellite view was implemented, as stated by Inside Google, that would be awesome.

Current Gen Xbox Games Will Be Released Through 2007
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games,
Good news for all current and future Xbox owners, Microsoft has informed Reuters that they plan to keep releasing games for their current system up to 2007. The company also stated that 2007 is not a definite stop – they could keep making games well beyond that point. Even though their new system is anticipated to be released by the end of this year, the current Xbox will not be forgotten. Microsoft has not yet stated if the Xbox successor will be backwards compatible – we are just going to wait until May 16th to find out. If it is, though, then why would they make such a big deal about supporting the current Xbox with software? Nonetheless, until we can cough up the cash for the Xbox 360, we can keep our current Xbox game collection happy with fresh titles.

PS3 To Be Unveiled Before Xbox 2/360
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Corporate News, Video Games,
Sony sets to beat Microsoft to the punch by unveiling its next generation gaming console just 3 hours before Microsoft shows off its console. The unveiling will take place on a sound stage in Sony Pictures’ complex in Culver City (just outside of L.A.) at 3 P.M. PST on May 16th. Three hours later, Microsoft will show off its next generation console to eager fans and members of the media in downtown Los Angeles. Wow, talk about making us really push our driving/taxi taking skills to a limit. With each event taking place at different locations and only 3 hours apart is really going to cut it short. It will all be worth it at the end when we will finally get to salivate over real pictures of what these two consoles look like and just what we will be calling them when we place our pre-orders.

Seiko Espon claims that this is the world’s lightest and smallest robot copter - hard to argue, as this thing weighs just 8.9 grams. The helicopter had four legs, four actuators, and two rotors. which allow it to stay balanced in the air. While it requires an external power source, it can be controlled remotely. These little guys were introduced at the International Robot Exhibition in Tokyo.

Okay, if you used I Love Bees as a way to find out anything you could about Halo 2 in advance, you can now do it all over again with OurColony.net. Many are speculating that this will be the covert Xbox 2/360 spoiler site - and it has already delivered. The following two images were found on the OurColony webspace:
Now, put these images together and you get the following:
Now, this is all fairly suspect, but it is all there. Couple that with these two supposed leaked Xbox 2/360 prototype controller images, and it all seems to start coming together. I would bet that the final controller will look a bit more ergonomic than these, but the wireless feature is pretty much a lock to stay:
