Despite a faltering economy, Japanese consumers are choosing to buy Blu-ray DVD recorders more than the standard definition counterparts. That's according to GfK Retail and Technology, a market research company that monitors point-of-sale transactions globally.

But in the face of falling prices, some movie fans are finding it necessary to make the upgrade. So, what about you, are you planning to make the transition to Blu or have you already?

It's believed that Microsoft's CEO, Steve Ballmer, may surprise attendees at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next month with the announcement of a Zune-style media-device in his keynote address.
This new media device will feature combined design elements from the T-Mobile Sidekick, a physical keyboard with a larger screen, and probably multi-touch capabilities, as well.
While Microsoft has been quite adamant in the past about being uninterested in building a phone, it cannot deny Apple's enormous $4.6-billion in iPhone revenue.

In spite of what analysts claim--that in three to five years, the mouse will probably become obsolete--for now, Logitech has something to be very proud of.
They have produced their billionth computer mouse. Gartner analyst, Steve Prentice, lauded this as a "tremendous achievement, [as] it speaks volumes to the success of the mouse."
Mr. Prentice, believes the multi-touch interface will eventually phase out the need of the mouse, as well as facial and movement recognition.
Logitech's general manager, Rory Dooley, on the other hand, thinks innovative technologies don't have to be mutually exclusive of the computer mouse.
With the success of Beats headphones, Monster has come out with earphones so superior that Dr. Dre is endorsing these too.
For $149.95, Monster Beats has tangle-free cables and sound-isolating eartips with sonic boom bam bop.

And finally, the color. No more white earphones. These are red and black. What hip hop or metal dude comfortably rocks white? C'mon!

Since its birth 25 years ago, LucasArts has secured a place in video game history through storytelling and innovative technology.
Say what you will about its current works, but it's undeniable that their Star Wars and Battlefront II games generated not only legions of followers, but awe-inspiring fun.
So it stands to reason that their illustrious history should be captured by a compilation titled, Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts.
Written by Rob Smith, it follows via "never before published interviews," and 300 pieces of "concept art, character development sketches, and storyboards".
And it's quite comprehensive too, with Monkey Island to Star Wars to LEGO games being covered in this publication by Chronicle Books.
