In case you had any doubts, Keanu Reeves is a gentleman -- (Video)
If you haven’t read lately, Keanu Reeves may be the most single tragic human being to walk the planet. But despite what life has given him, he’s still been able to pick himself up and be that awesome dude you wish all actors would be. Keanu saved us all from the machines and the grip of the Matric, and here he is saving a lady from having to stand while on the subway. Beautiful — *tear*.

Windows 8 public beta hitting the streets in February
Windows 8 is a curious little bugger. It’s stuck in this middle-aged crisis where it’s not sure yet what it wants to be. It’s got the makings of the popular Windows Phone Metro theme, and yet when you select many of the apps they open up in what appears to be good ol’ Windows 7. While the new direction is refreshing, it’s a little saddening to see Microsoft taking it only half way… if even that. But if you’re curious to see what it’s all about and missed out on the developer’s beta, you can expect to get your hands on it in February. — More after the break!

Pid: Portal, Little Big Planet and Super Mario rolled into one game - (Video)
I love games that take our favorite things, and mix them up just the right way without simply copying the original and instead adding some new value and polish to them. Pid is a side-scroller, co-op game where you manipulate the world to get through without causing too much trouble for yourself. It’s got stealth, a great style and the music is definately going to be killer — Pid should be coming to digital platforms 2012

"Pirating is a-okay, contributes to music sales," says the Swiss government
So there’s this thing called piracy, and it’s sorta all the rage with folks looking to save some cash. While Jack Black may think that piracy selfishly robs funds from out of the pockets of rock gods, the Swiss government however has officially (meaning on paper) found that there’s no evidence to support that claim. On the contrary, from their studies they ran into a pretty interesting fact; that those who pirate entertainment are more likely to spend that extra wad of cash toward either attending concerts or buying other sorts of merchandise. In other words, the people in charge of Switzerland rejected legislation for new laws that fight against digital file-sharing when none were necessary to begin with. — More after the break!

Julian Assange: "iPhone, Blackberry, Gmail users are all 'screwed' -- (Video)
If you live in the year 2011 and believe that your internet, mobile, and social activity isn’t monitored on a 24/7 hour basis then my friend, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Julian Assange paints the picture quite bluntly in this video where he explains that in a post-9/11 world, it’s more common than you think that spy software is being contracted out by local governments to monitor its citizens — even on their private devices.

Xenoblade finally making its way to North America, exclusively at GameStop
Well, lookie here! It would appear that after much griping from JRPG fans, Nintendo has actually caved in and will be releasing one of the titles from Operation Rainfall’s demands list in North America after all. Xenoblade Chronicles, which up until a few months ago was a Japanese exlusive (which then branched out with localized versions in Europe), is finally getting ported over to the states and its north and southern neighbors as well. And when we say ported over, we mean “ported over” — as in we’re getting the British voice track. Not only that, but you’re only going to be able to buy the store at one place. Can you guess where? — More after the break!

Making your bike “safe” has never been a cool thing to do. I mean putting lights, reflectors and mirrors are good safety precautions, but they make you look like a bit of a tool. Enter Revolights, the lights that clip onto your wheels and essentially make you the maddest peddler in the city, while at the same time keeping you safe. Make sure to check out their webpage and help Revolights come to market!
