Gadget Pr0n: Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Laptop
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 4:54 PM
 You know how you have to sit down with your mom for like the hundredth time to teach her how to check her cell phone messages or how bewildered your dad gets when you tell him that he has to download the latest version of Java?
Sorry to say it, but your parents are techtarded (or technologically handicapped for the politically correct) and you will be one day too unless you keep watching Gadget Pr0n.
You don't want to end up like grandma, do you? No, you don't want to get so out of touch with technology that you start to believe that PDAs are powered by ghosts.
On today's Gadget Pr0n we'll review the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Laptop.
Are you a friend to the Earth? Then check out GCycle... it's G4's new initiative to try and get you to be a better person and recycle tech stuff!

Attack This: Survival Stuff
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 4:38 PM
 Sorry to get disturbing here, but there are a ton of people walking around who believe in some kind of apocalyptic type scenario. Crackpots?
Maybe, but it never hurts to be prepared. If you’re hoping to survive the end, you might want to pick up today’s items (except for the pet monkey, which you should only buy because it’s cute).

Geek Out: BSG Live!
Posted by Jonathan Hunt - Thursday, May 08, 2008 3:54 PM
This past Tax Day, April 15th, a very special event took place at the Roxy in Los Angeles, California. Nerds from all over crowded together for a sold-out show where composer Bear McCreary brought the music of Battlestar Galactica to a live concert venue.
We were the only ones given full access to everyone and everything inside the club. Sure we could be selfish and keep all the BSG-sweetness for ourselves, but we're not like that. We're about sharing.
Bear, his brother Brendan, the lovely Raya Yarbrough, and the Galactica's own Kandyse McClure all found time to sit down with us and talk about this unique concert event that brought musicians, performers, and geeks together like nothing has before.
This is the only place where you can see this footage! Also, be sure to check back next week, where we'll have some more BSG Live surprises up our sleeve.

WebTools: Competition Sites
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 2:41 PM
 The will to compete is strong in the human animal. In fact, so unyielding is the psychological need to show one’s superiority that there are actually websites dedicated to competitions of skill.
Ibeatyou and Strutta both offer competitors the chance to face off in various events (including beatboxing) by posting videos online.
If you want to find out how to show the world that it needs to respect your mad skills or you just want to see titans go at it, see our profile of the sites in today’s WebTools.

'Poultrygeist' Red Carpet
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 2:22 PM
 Of all the Hollywood parties and special events, nothing compares to the premiere of a Troma movie.
The (blood) red carpet event for their new film, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead featured odd characters, beautiful, buxom women and the best C-list celebs Tinsel Town has to offer.
We were on hand for the festivities and it was truly a sight to behold. Trod the red carpet with us later today, won’t you?

'Speed Racer' First Look
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 11:37 AM
 We remember hearing the Speed Racer theme song for the first time, a catchy tune which ended with the words, “Go Speed Racer, go!”
We must confess, one place we thought Speed would never go was to the big screen. The cartoon (even the revamped series than ran during the early 90s) was great, but we didn’t believe someone would ever make the thing into a live action film. We’re so glad we were wrong.
Today, we’ll gladly present a preview of the film to you Speed freaks. Go, Speed Racer, go!

The Loop: Not So Super Deluxe
Posted by Eugene Morton - Thursday, May 08, 2008 10:56 AM
 Media giant, Time Warner has decided to merge its comedy video site, Super Deluxe with the Cartoon Network site, Adult Swim, a move which has resulted in the termination of an untold number of the Super Deluxe staff.
Time Warner hasn’t gotten where it is by making bad decisions and its actions seem to indicate that, popular as the Super Deluxe was, it wasn’t turning a profit (or enough of one to justify its existence).

Attack This: Portable Tech
Posted by Eugene Morton - Wednesday, May 07, 2008 4:47 PM
 We remember when computers first started becoming commonplace among consumers. Let us tell you, we were hooked right away.
The problem was, when morning rolled around and we were forced to go to school, bloodshot though our eyes were, we had to deal with computer cravings all day long.
Now, so many computers and media devices are portable, not unlike today’s items. You young kids don’t know how good you’ve got it.

 It would be cool if you had the power to see into the future. Unfortunately, unless you’ve got psychic powers that ain’t going to happen, not in the traditional way at least.
However, you can check out today’s blogs and see the future of technology and architecture. No crystal ball required.

The Loop: One On One With Bear Grylls
Posted by Eugene Morton - Wednesday, May 07, 2008 11:19 AM
There are a lot of different ways to define “macho.” Personally, we don’t think a guy is masculine because he likes guns and blowing things up. Admittedly, that stuff is pretty cool, but to us a real man is one who can survive in the wild with only his wits and will.
That’s why we view Bear Grylls as sort of the ultimate dude. You’d agree if you ever saw an episode of the survival wilderness show, Man vs. Wild. We’ll chat with Grylls in today’s Loop and see what’s going on with the proto-man. Be there.
