Bad Product Names: MP3 Edition

This isn’t anything new, as the article goes back to August 2007. I just stumbled across it today, though, so here you go!
Last year, the folks over at TrekStor debuted the shiny new “blaxx” model, the latest in their line of mp3 players under the i.Beat brand.

You’d think that today with all the committees, [...]

Boom De Yada!

After knocking a can of pop in the kitchen this morning, watching it explode everywhere, and ending up late to work after the ensuing cleanup, I was hoping for something to brighten my day.
For some reason, this commercial did it. I’m sure I’m one of the last people on earth to hear about it, [...]

Coolest Thing I’ve Seen Today: Prince Caspian

The Return of Garrett?

Eidos, don’t play with our emotions like this unless you’re serious.
According to GameSpot rumor control, it’s possible that master thief Garrett could be gearing up for a return:
Eidos Montreal hinted that the title for its next “AAA” project after the recently announced Deus Ex 3 will begin with a “T” on its official Web site [...]

April Foolery

Several things have come together to make April Fools’ Day an increasingly big deal in the online world. The first is the increasingly rabid fanbases that many properties have. Another is the ease with which a prank can be played in a harmless way. Finally, the fact that people are increasingly receptive [...]
