Rumor - Wii U going through production woes, developers are 'lost'

Developers are the heart and soul to any new console hitting the market, since what is a shiny new controller supposed to do without any games to interact with? Well, word on the street is that Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U is hitting “development hell” and developers themselves are feeling lost with only 1 year to go before the system is due to release. — More after the break!

Planking while on the clock isn't a good idea, especially if you work at Gamestop

Planking is all the rage if you haven’t heard by now. And so when one Gamestop employee had the sudden urge to plan around his unsuspecting store, which apprently didn’t look very busy, he just went for it without thought to the repercussions.

"We are all Steve" rap video is about how we're all Steve Jobs at heart - (Video)

Nike teasing upcoming release of self-lacing shoes from Back to the Future 2

We’ve all seen them, and if you haven’t where have you been for the past 20 years? Nike’s self-lacing shoes from Back to the Future 2 have been the stuff of dreams for a whole generation of geeks.

I attended the Jimmy Kimmel show a few years back, and it just so happened that it was the episode where Uncle Frank was attending prom with his ex-wife (which is actually featured in this tribute). Seeing him reminded me of how happy-go-lucky I would like to be if I ever got to his age. Unfortunately, Frank passed away earlier last month but Jimmy sent him off the right way with a laugh out loud tribute.
