10 Un-released features of Windows Live Wave »
10 Un-released features of Windows Live WaveMany of you have gotten a chance to check out the New Windows Live Essentials, and like myself, am drooling over it. I think this could make the Windows Live suite a much more viable tool for the public, and I could really see myself putting it to use when working with our Editors. I am excited and you should be too!

Why can't we have Rollover Data on AT&T?
Why can't we have Rollover Data on AT&T?
By now, you probably know that AT&T has killed off unlimited data forever, with some new plans that have made us nearly rip our eyes out.
What is increasing the amount of frustration, is the fact that AT&T does not have rollover data. Now that we are paying for our data like we do for minutes, why don’t we get to rollover our un-used data? I mean it only makes sense right?
Why does AT&T get to take away something we have already payed for? - Read more

Apple demos HTML5 on their new web standards page
Well, Apple has taken a leap of faith and put HTML5 as priority one on their site - they have added a page on the Apple website, dedicated to showcasing the new HTML5 web standards, and what they have to offer. They have added stuff like video, typography, transitions and audio, but the one part that really pisses me off is the fact that you need to “download Safari” to view the demos. I’m sorry Apple, but what the hell is your problem! Chrome can use these demos just as well as Safari, as they both run Webkit, and there is no way for Chrome users to see the demos, unless they download Safari. I call Foul!

Volunteers to be isolated for 18 months during Mars experiment
Six courageous volunteers are to be locked away inside this cramped, sealed container for 18 months as part of an experiment for a future Mars exploration mission.
In the name of Science, 4,000 people originally applied for the job, and ultimately, the dream team was chosen; Six people will be locked into a barrel-shaped, mock up space-craft (left) in Moscow for 18 months - Read more

Aava Virta Android handset to be the first shipping Moorestown smartphone
We’ve already seen a tonne of Moorestown powered slates and handhelds at Computex, but what about all those Moorestown powered, Android based smartphones? Our hopes have been continually dashed (especially after LG cancelled the GW990), however, we’re once again looking on the brighter side of life thanks to the Aava Virta. With its simple yet sophisticated Android core, and a handful of Intel silicon this thing’ll be ready to fly when it’s released later this year (Q3 to be precise). Spec wise it’s running a Moorestown processor, a 3.8-inch capacitive display (864 x 480), quad band EDGE radios, WiFi, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, and finally a 5-megapixel camera. Interestingly enough, besides the folks at Aava, no one actually knows what this thing looks like. Nevertheless, we will say, if it looks as half decent as the render above, then they’ve definitely made a winner. Press release after the break.

Video - The Star Wars iPad (Death Star) Briefing
Video - The Star Wars iPad (Death Star) Briefing
It’s deadly, Sith-like, and it browses the web better than a smartphone. It’s the all new iPad (Death Star)!
This is hilarious, and quite a simple remix of what was one of the most memorable presentations in Apple’s history - the release of the iPad.
Speaking of the iPad, we have written a great review on it that you should definitely read (after the video of course!) - Read the Review

“Keanu Reeves, had a hard life….” - You may or may have not heard of Keanu Reeves’ past, but if you ever get a chance to read his Wiki page or Google him up you’ll get a glimpse into the hell that is Keanu’s reality. Whether it was the unorthodox environment in which he grew up in, the despair he’s felt as the ones closest to him have fallen to sleep in death, or the fact that he’s immortal and so has felt the world’s pain over and over again, Keanu’s sadness touches everyone who has a soul. And so the masses of the internet have dedicated June 15th of this year officially as Cheer Up Keanu Day, because despite all of the bad things that have happened to him he has time after time shown that he cares for his fellow man more than most.
More info after the break!
