The Twilight Saga: A Total Eclipse of the Abs, Fangs and Vows

Oh my god, oh my god!! Did you see, did you see! Have you already ditched class to watch it on a loop?!

The new Twilight Saga trailer is live, and I’m not quite sure if I should be enamored, concerned or disgusted by all things Eclipse. (More at Techland: The All-Time worst cartoon-to-movie adaptations)

There’s Edward and Bella, looking all cute on the rolling hills, uttering vows of love and loyalty.

But then there’s Jacob, uber-hunk and uber-stalker, giving all those desperate, socially-awkward guys out there the wrong message about violent persistence. (Apparently if you’ve got the abs, then you deserve the broad)

Mix in Bella’s quivering lower lip, low self-esteem, and utter dependance on her male counterparts, and you’ve got the makings of a very bizarre, unsettling, and decidedly non-PC teen drama.

Vampire, werewolf, teenage drama queen…it really matters not. This franchise is now less about a story than about perpetuating itself. Promising true love in a far away land – where apparently no one is worried about grades or college, and where no one needs a job.

Or much acting talent.

The 12 Best Android Widgets for 2012

With all due respect to smartphone apps, sometimes you don’t want to open a new program just to get some quick info or perform a minor task.

Some are glorified app launchers, while others are downright ugly. Here are the 12 best widgets that no discerning Android user should be without.

Review: Soulo Converts iPad into Karaoke Machine

Karaoke lovers typically fall into two categories: Those who enjoy it, and those whose arms have to be twisted to get up and sing in public. Enter Soulo, a software and microphone kit that can turn an iPad or other Apple device into a karaoke machine. It gives you instant karaoke in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you carry your Apple gadgets. That’s the idea, anyway.

I read the books last summer and I am totally Team Jacob. And vampires don’t sparkle.

The first movie was bad. I am on the library-wait list for the second as it is supposed to be ‘better’. Can’t tell much about the 3rd from this trailer, though I am sure a lot is going into it as a lot more is riding on it – how long is Twilight going to be popular, you know? It will be interesting to see what they do with the 4th installment.

That parody is awesome!
