"The 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray and DVD of Say Anything came out yesterday, and to mark the occasion, numerous men with lots of free time dressed up in trench coats and hoisted boomboxes above their heads and marched throughout New York City serenading people with the strains of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," and a cover version of the same song by The Lloyd Dobler Effect."

"It's here! Fox has finally debuted the epic 3 ½ minute trailer for James Cameron's Avatar in glorious high def today on Yahoo. This is the trailer we've been waiting for, the one that finally shows that there's more to Avatar than just giant blue Na'vi aliens, that it's a story about love and survival and the importance of life. And it looks absolutely incredible. I think this could be one of the best trailers of the entire year, it's truly epic, and truly exciting. Many of you may have seen this trailer in theaters over the weekend, but now is your chance to voice your opinion and see it again. Without further ado, watch the new trailer below!"

I really wasn't impressed with the teaser, but after watching this (and getting the chills several times) I am getting excited for this movie. Really has the potential to be great, and I see the underlying message of the film. Nice.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Odd, I have an opposite reaction. The "underlying message" is so ridiculously heavy handed and blatant that i don't see any potential for this movie. I mean, I saw Pocahontas already. Edit - well, I do wonder if soldier boy actually gets all up in that blue girl, but I can just read the movie spoilers for that.
- Richard Lawler
This trailer has piqued my interest even more. Looks to be very interesting and exciting.

I was meh on the teaser and I'm still meh. I'll see it out of curiosity, but hope springs eternal.

I got to see the video game in person this week too. Looked like a bland FPS. Wonder if the non-interactive version will be any better ;)

Just saw this on the news. That was a big chunk of steel that fell on a car! I'm beginning to think they should put those machines at each approach to the bridge, like the ones that sell flight insurance for air travel. These would have special extra coverages for each trip across the Bay Bridge.

I heard about this on the radio. Traffic must be horrendous

Actually, there's no traffic at all on the bridge.

Wasn't there something like this in the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" with Reese Witherspoon? My daughter rented the DVD and I watched it with her. One of the characters had an eccentric grandfather who was always blasting something into the air... I don't think it was anvils, but something similarly "thud-worthy." Hilarious!

They're "incredible" because they've finally caught up with the rest of the Intel-based computer world? I don't see much incredibleness in this announcement.

+1 Kenton. I've been saying this for a while, now. When I'm able to order a Macbook Pro with a quad-core processor, 8 gigs of RAM and a 1-gig dedicated video card, then I'll be impressed that Mac is finally providing what I've been able to get in my Windows-based laptop for over a year.

the freight is going up because the product is heavier and/or larger than a normal apple product... it's a TV
- Chris Heath
If it's a TV, that's really dumb. Display technology, cable boxes, and computer technology are all evolving at different rates. Bundling them all together is bound to cause something being obsolete quickly.That would be one Apple product I wouldn't be buying.

Now a media server/DVR for the home that could handle live cable/satellite would be something I might want.

We built WebTV into an RCA TV once, called eTV. I thought it was a terrible idea then. The only advantage you get is the remote only needs to control one device (assuming there's not a separate cable box), but the lack of ability to upgrade one component without the other is a huge minus for me.

Pulling #Arsenal.com fixtures calendar into Google Cal. Go to the page, copy the link for the fixtures calendar you want (e.g. context menu), then go to gcal, click "Add", add from URL and paste the URL. I used the version to get auto-update if fixtures change. - http://www.arsenal.com/fixture...
I've heard you can just add a calendar named "Arsenal", and Google figures it out for you(?) Haven't tried it myself since I used the "official" site calendar

Our oceans have been the victims of a giant Ponzi scheme, waged with Bernie Madoff–like callousness by the world’s fisheries. Beginning in the 1950s, as their operations became increasingly industrialized--with onboard refrigeration, acoustic fish-finders, and, later, GPS--they first depleted stocks of cod, hake, flounder, sole, and halibut in the Northern Hemisphere. As those stocks disappeared, the fleets moved southward, to the coasts of developing nations and, ultimately, all the way to the shores of Antarctica, searching for icefishes and rockcods, and, more recently, for small, shrimplike krill. As the bounty of coastal waters dropped, fisheries moved further offshore, to deeper waters. And, finally, as the larger fish began to disappear, boats began to catch fish that were smaller and uglier--fish never before considered fit for human consumption. Many were renamed so that they could be marketed: The suspicious slimehead became the delicious orange roughy, while the worrisome...

"The Federal Communications Commission opened an inquiry Friday into whether Google Inc.'s phone-management service is restricting calls as regulators grappled with how to regulate new-media products. The service, dubbed Google Voice, allows people to link all of their phones to a common number and to manage calls and messages through a single Web site. The service can also be used to send and receive phone calls and text messages."

"Britain’s most popular music-streaming service could be out of business within a year unless it can make more of its users pay for music, industry experts claimed today. Senior executives said that Spotify could soon be “dead” if it continued to be available free and relied on advertising to fund the service."

Something has to give, and someone will always lose out. If Spotify finishes, then people will go back to torrenting and fileshare sites.

That's the problem with the drugs business model, you can give it away free and at some point start charging but in this case you can't intimidate the users with pay up or else.

The gyrowheel would make it so that anyone learning to ride a bike — or just keep any ol' bike upright — wouldn't need training wheels to keep from falling over. The gyrowheel replaces the front wheel and contains a battery-powered, spinning disk inside of it, which in turn generates a gyroscopic precessional force and helps stabilize the bike. It should keep a bike upright in the face of wobbles, and the folks at Gyrobike claim that it teaches better riding practices, besides. A 12" version of the gyrowheel is due out in December, with a 16" version landing next spring. Check out a video on how the gyrowheel works after the jump.
