There will be some updates to Guitar Hero from Activision. The first will be GH Live, a feature that will allow the player to go up in front of a crowd and perform in front of either a … [Read more...] about Guitar Hero Live coming this Fall

CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
When Avatar first hit the theaters in 2009, it was a terrific way that 3D got people back into the movie houses. People actually saw that film several times, and I can't remember when that has ever happened. There were a lot of 3D imitations after that, but the fad (which has happened several times in several eras) has passed, honestly. The only thing left to do after 3D … [Read more...] about CJ 4DPlex could create some interesting theater experiences
Gillette has Avengers-themed razors?
I know that with Avengers: Age of Ultron coming out in May, there is going to be a lot of toys for it. And there are with Lego and Hasbro, but Gillette has some Avengers toys for adults. Okay, it isn't what you think with that "adult toy" comment. Basically, they are razors with themes of the Avengers. They include Iron Man with an Arc Reactor, Captain America with a … [Read more...] about Gillette has Avengers-themed razors?
What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down? Why does the Internet obsess over stuff like this?
No doubt you heard of that photo captioned "what color is the dress", which made its way all around social networks. In all honesty, I can't remember if that was so...last month or so...last week, but it leads me to wonder why certain things get so much attention. The one that happened this week was from 9Gag.com, and it shows a cat who is going up stairs. Or is that cat … [Read more...] about What color is the dress? Is the cat up or down?

LG G4 to debut on April 28th, leaked pictures and news
For those that have wanted to have at least a peek of the new flagship phone from LG might not have to wait much longer. A well-known leaker named Evan Blass has discovered the new LG G4, the sequel to the LG G3. A site that Blass linked to has been since taken down, which means that the site could be fake or accidentally (or maybe intentionally) leaked by LG. … [Read more...] about LG G4 to debut on April 28th, leaked pictures and news
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Noah
Okay, before I start this, let me explain that Noah is speculative fiction. I realize that it is based on Noah from Genesis, which is a story that I believe is true. However, it is clear that Noah is very far from its source material, and I don't know what the vision of making this film could have started out as. I'm sure someone thought Noah would be a good movie, but … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Noah
LEGO Dimensions lets player put their creations in the game
Just last month I wrote that Lego was working with Warner Brothers Interactive for some new toys, and it would appear that news of it has come sooner rather than later. I have learned that Warner Brother Interactive and Telltale Games are working on LEGO Dimensions, a toys-to-life structure that allows players to scan LEGO creations and then play with them in the game's … [Read more...] about LEGO Dimensions lets player put their creations in the game
Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
I have to admit that I have no experience using Uber or Lyft, other than they are reducing San Francisco's cab traffic by 65 percent. Still, I liked seeing this development with Uber Safe. This Uber Safe is a kiosk that is part of a test profram in Toronto Canada. Uber Safe promises to give a a free ride if you do not pass the breathalyzer test. So far, Uber is … [Read more...] about Uber Safe posts could start a new trend
SOLOSHOT2 lets you film yourself automatically
Yesterday, I covered the Podo camera, which can stick to the wall and allow you to take pictures of yourself. It looks like the SOLOSHOT2 takes selfies to the video level. For some reason, I have been seeing a lot of ads for SOLOSHOT that precede these YouTube videos that I have been watching. Today, I didn't hit "Skip Ad", but I like the idea of a base and tag system … [Read more...] about SOLOSHOT2 lets you film yourself automatically
Podo is a Bluetooth-connected camera that sticks and shoots
As the headline reads, this Podo is a Bluetooth-connected camera that can stick and shoot, and it doesn't require a stick. By stick, I am talking about those selfie sticks that are starting to become very common and are getting banned a big concerts. The Podo is essentially a camera that is designed to sync with a mobile device via Bluetooth. This camera can affix to any … [Read more...] about Podo is a Bluetooth-connected camera that sticks and shoots
Community is back and addresses technical issues
I realize that this is not Speculative Fiction Saturday, but I would like to discuss a terrific show that does address a lot of technological issues. The show Community has had its ups and downs through the years, but when it works, it really works. The show was cancelled after five seasons on NBC, but it was recently given new life on Yahoo TV. A more recent episode … [Read more...] about Community is back and addresses technical issues
Nothing Lasts Forever: PlayStation Home and OnLive bite the dust
In 2008, when MMO was a pretty good market, Sony launched PlayStation Home, a virtual world on the PlayStation 3. Now players would be able to meet up in a "Second Life" kind of setting and talk about games and stuff. Yeah, it didn't work out, and I have no idea if it was ever the thing. I mean, I'm there are some who thought MySpace would last forever. Sony announced … [Read more...] about Nothing Lasts Forever: PlayStation Home and OnLive bite the dust
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Earth to Echo
Okay, I will let you know that I was prepared not to like this movie. Look at the tagline of "An Adventure as Big as the Universe". I also remember seeing a critic line that said "this generation's E.T.", I honestly don't think that anything can top E.T. and you could easily label The Iron Giant or Lilo and Stitch as the next generation of E.T. I can't believe that this … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Earth to Echo
Our review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3000
I have to admit that I haven't reviewed a projector in a while, and I usually review the small ones. This is the first time that I reviewed a bigger one, and it is a very cool one with a small exception that I will get to later. I'll start by saying that it is 1080p, and setting it up is pretty easy. It took the interface of HDMI and components well, and I was able to … [Read more...] about Our review of the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 3000
