Today in Techland: We’ve got iPad fever like everyone else – will you be lining up for hours? – but we took some time out of the tech haze to bring you our take on Clash of the Titans (hint: Bor-ing) and the next round of our Monster Madness bracket chosen by a very special guest: the guys from Penny Arcade!

Here’s what else is going on in nerd news around the Web:

Syfy, this summer: Syfy announced it’s summer lineup this week with Lake Placid 3 and new, stranger reality shows topping the list. Click here for a full look.

With the iPad, comes the spoils: Netflix announced that its instant view feature (for subscribers only) will be available on the iPad tomorrow via a free Netflix app.

The Hobbit FX details: Effects supervisor Richard Taylor talked the next J.R.R. Tolkien film adaptation with MTV. “It’s so busy here. I was in a big meeting about how to make the new designs of armor for the new film. That’s always good fun.” Awesome.
