Transformers: Dark of the Moon Trailer Released

Oh boy! Dubbed “Dark of the Moon,” the movie appears to revolve a bit around mankind’s first trip to the moon and the space race from the 1960’s.

And while we’ve heard that Shockwave is going to be the main villain in this one, if you ask me that sure looked a lot like Unicron!

Google Handing Out Free Chrome OS Laptops and Nexus S's

No, we’re not kidding! Let’s start with the free Chrome OS laptops; As a part of their “Pilot Program,” Google is giving away a bunch of Cr-48 Chrome Notebooks to random Google users as a way to beta test the Chrome OS before release. All you have to do to get in on this is fill out a short form on their site and boom, you’re good to go. They will contact you and send a Chrome laptop over your way if they think you qualify! Speaking of “ChromeBooks,” let me tell you a bit about the CR-48 itself…

When we first heard about the Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800, we were shocked at how many of our gripes from the original Logitech Illuminated Keyboard were seemingly fixed. So when Logitech gave us the opportunity to try out the new version for ourselves, we jumped at the chance. What I expected to be the sole addition of a wireless feature turned out to be a completely redesigned product.

Apple Universal Dock Updated, Compact Wired Keyboard Discontinued

What do these two bits of news have to do with each other? Not much. The Universal Dock, on one hand, has been upgraded with the inclusion of an aluminum Apple remote, an AC adapter, and new dock adapters for the new iPods/iPhone. It now costs $59 though so it may or may not be worth the upgrade to some folks. The component cables now cost $10 less while now lacking the AC adapter.

RIM Buys The Astonishing Tribe

Remember that crazy Future of Screens video we saw a while ago? (It’s After the break) Then you might also remember that the video was made by a company called The Astonishing Tribe, and if you clicked into their YouTube channel, you would’ve seen that they had already been making a bunch of insanely wicked interface prototypes on some actual devices. Surprisingly, those demoes could actually represent the future of BlackBerry interfaces, as RIM has officially acquired the software company. Why is this such a big deal? The PlayBook and future BlackBerries could actually utilize some of TAT’s research and technologies to make awesome interfaces, a sure sign that things are about to get crazy once again in the mobile space.
