And what really excited a number of people was the announcement of a Live TV feature heading to the console. While yes, we have Hulu and Netflix taking care of our entertainment needs, sometimes we just want to catch the local news or simply catch a game in progress that isn’t supported by the ESPN Xbox channel. Details about the upcoming feature have been next to none… until now. — More after the break!

We know it’s coming. We can just about taste and smell it. The iPhone 5 is right around the corner but when will it be announced and when will we be able to get our greasy little hands on it?

If anything will amaze me for my entire lifetime, it will be the wonders of space. It’s like an endless playground for humans to test their limits of technology, understanding and teaching.
