I’m switching things up this week. Instead of my usual Issue Number One pick I’m going to go with five number one issues! (And one number five issue, oh the parity!) In this world of ‘written for trade’ comics here, certainly, are five more entries. As Señor Wolk has already pointed out we’ve got a kajillion too many tpb’s out there …
Two More Members of Infinity Ward Go AWOL
According to Kotaku last night, the development studio responsible for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has apparently seen the exodus of two more members. Lead Designer Todd Alderman and Lead Software Engineer Francesco Gigliotti appear to be no longer working at Infinity Ward, if the screen caps from LinkedIn are accurate. Alderman’s …
More HP Slate Details: $549 Starting Price, Five Hour Battery
Engadget has managed to get a hold of an internal Hewlett Packard document that directly compares the HP Slate tablet to Apple’s iPad.
HP gives itself the advantage for having pen support, a 1.6GHz CPU (Atom Z530), 1080p graphics acceleration, built-in expandability, and two cameras but acknowledges that Apple has the edge when it …
The Loadout for April 6, 2010: New Games to Attack the Week With

The Daily Dose
Monday, April 5, 2010
Today in Techland: Peter got mail from Iron Man. (No, really.) Doug prepped for baseball season. (You’ve got to see these baseball gizmos.) And me, I spent all day re-watching Red Letter Media’s scathing review of Attack of the Clones. Hilarious. But just in case that’s not enough …

Diner Dash… in Space: Star Wars Cantina Hits iPhone
The Star Wars Cantina sequence. It’s one of those things that divides Star Wars fans like Jedi and Sith. Either you think George Lucas achieved a nice blend of cute and gritty or you think pseudo-Muppets have no place in an action-adventure sci-fi epic.
