Comments (6) Draaaaaama! I love it. Check out this clip of Leo Laporte blowing up at TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington over a Palm Pre review unit. Let’s just say, he doesn’t even get to the actual review.
Arrington later took to his blog to apologize – and rebuttal.
And you thought Hollywood had divas. Someone put these two in a ring! Check yo’self before you wreck yo’self, brotha!
So many questions about the Xbox Project Natal, which was announced at E3 yesterday. The interactive video game goes one-step beyond the Wii by allowing you to play video games without the use of ANY controller. Literally, all you have to do is move around.
It looks awesome – if it is truly quirk-free – but I’ll have to see it to believe it. My first question is – what happens when the family dog runs in front of you, or when your annoying roommate tries to mess up your high score? Too bad? And what happens when you can’t get the damn thing to do what you want it to do? It just seems like it would be full of annoyances. But then again, I’m a control freak.
It’s more than just games, though. You can also choose and watch movies, shop, video chat with friends, and scan your skateboard, according to this demo video.

No word yet on when this will be released or how many bones it will cost, but speculation says by the end of the year we shall know. Maybe in time for Christmas?
P.S. Two Microsoft posts in a row. This doesn’t happen often.
The identity theft stuff may be making feel a little like running and buying a Lipstick Stun Gun in every color, but the show must go on. Back to reality.
Happy early Christmas! Looks like PC users who have been drowning in Vista for the past few years will finally be getting that much anticipated upgrade, just in time for the holidays. Microsoft announced this week that they will be releasing Windows 7 on Oct 22 pre-installed on new PCs as well as available for purchase.
Kind of an odd release date, seeing as they’ll just be missing the back-to-school super sales season, but industry analyst Roger Kay of Endpoint Technologies predicts Microsoft will offer free upgrades to Windows 7 on newly purchase machines beginning as early as August.
Of course this doesn’t affect me in the slightest, since I’ve gone all-Mac, but I’ve got to imagine PC users will be more than relieved. One can only hope Microsoft learned from their massive mistakes with Vista.
Will you upgrade? What version of Windows do you use?

Woo, doggie! You could smell this coming from a mile away- Pure Digital Technologies, maker of the uber popular Flip cam, has been purchased by Cisco Systems for a whopping $590 million. It was only a matter of time before someone scooped up this genius product.
The cutie-cute pocket-sized video cameras have become a staple among video nuts, both for their simplicity in design and convenience/ease of use- you can shoot a video and upload to YouTube with just a USB plug. No software required.
Then there’s the price of course – ranging anywhere from $100-200, these are in almost everyone’s budget.

Attention 18 and 19 year olds: You no longer have an excuse not to vote. As if it weren’t as easy as logging onto voteforchange.com, Microsoft has now enabled you to register to vote without even leaving the comfort of your gaming console.
That’s right, you can now register to vote on your Xbox!
In collaboration with rockthevote.com, Microsoft is giving Xbox 360® owners the ability to register to vote, participate in presidential polls, and voice their opinions to the presidential candidates.
“The Xbox LIVE community is active, vocal, and passionate,” said Marc Whitten, general manager of Xbox LIVE. “We’re thrilled to partner with Rock the Vote to make it easier than ever for youth voters‚Äîand our members‚Äîto register and be heard.”
So take a break from playing Rock Band or Half Life 2 and register to vote, dammit. I don’t even care who you vote for (as long as it’s not Sarah Palin 
) – just take the time to educate yourself!
The future of our country is at stake!!!!
