Apple’s special event next week will be pegged to music – that much we already know. There’s speculation that the Lala acquisition could come about next week but two separate outlets have reported that Apple won’t be bringing cloud-based streaming to iTunes, at least not yet. Boy Genius was tipped off social integration into …
OnMyWay Uses Your Phone’s GPS to Relay Tardiness to Others
If you’re perpetually late and you can’t afford a personal assistant because that aforementioned lateness causes you to miss out on fancy, lucrative business deals with marginally trustworthy individuals, maybe you’d benefit from something like OnMyWay.
It won’t help you get places on time, per se, but it’ll e-mail whomever you’re …

Look! Proof that the prequel trilogy wasn’t a late George Lucas cash-in (Jump to 1:27 of the first clip)!

Oh, Harrison Ford, with your dry “It gets real confusing after awhile, doesn’t it?” and picking your nose on live …
Sony Exec Says PS4 Will Still Use Discs
There continues to be a lot–and I mean, A LOT–of talk about how digital distribution is the way of the future for the games business and how brick-and-mortar stores will all go the way of the dinosaur in, oh, five years or so.
Kaz Hirai doesn’t think so, though. In comments to MCVUK, the man in charge of all things Playstation …
The Comic Book Club: “Superman: Secret Origin” and “Namor: The First Mutant”
DOUGLAS: On to Namor: The First Mutant #1. I suppose gerrymandering the Sub-Mariner in as an X-book is an approach that hasn’t been tried before (although I kind of think of all the “Curse of the Mutants” stuff as an off-label sub-category of the X-books). And I like Ariel Olivetti’s artwork, here as in his run on …
Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me About the Inbred Jedi?
In a galaxy far, far away in an alternate Star Wars universe, Obi-Wan failed to inform Luke that Leia was his sister. It turns out they did a little more than play tonsil hockey while Luke was recovering from the wampa abduction. Say hello to little Gree-Morr Skywalker.
P.S.- Bonnie, you may not want to watch this (again?), since …

Panel of the Week 8/25/10
Each week I rush home with my pile of new comics and while they still have that new comic smell (not to be confused with old longbox comic smell) I pour over them and look for the Panel of the Week. This week’s installment features desk chair heroes, the anti Herbie, the Point Break galactic sequel, Metallo lite, and an unlocked Street …
Pandigital Novel Review: The Big Screen Makes All the Difference
The library and reading interface leave a bit to be desired, as well. For starters, I seem to have two of everything on my bookshelf and when you “delete” a book, the Novel merely deletes the contents from its storage space while leaving the book on your bookshelf to be re-downloaded. If you want to get rid of it altogether, you have to …
Timeline: The Star Wars Saga
We’re all familiar with the start of the Star Wars movies: A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away… But with all the spin-off novels, games and comics, the Star Wars saga actually starts a much longer time ago than you’d think. Like, twenty-five thousand years earlier. Oh, and it continues more than a century after the end of Return …
Star Wars 101: Childhood Lessons In Good Vs. Evil
The first time I laid eyes on a Star Wars film, I was kicked out of the room almost instantly. I was probably nine or ten and had just come wandering in to investigate the noise our surround sound was making. I marched right in firing questions off as I watched two men poke each other with long glow sticks.
“What are you watching? Who …
