iTunes era is over

Well, that may be a slight overstatement, but news out today is that NBC are pulling their content from iTunes at the end of their current contract.
So what ? Well, NBC is the biggest supplier of video content to the store and accounts for around 40% of all video downloads. And it’s on the back [...]

Prison Break returns Sept 17th

In what promises to be the best season yet, Prison Break Season 3 will premiere on FOX on 17th September.

Whilst it could be argued that Dr. Sara Tancredi (right) was more than enough female interest for a show which, let’s be honest, is about blokes in prison/on the run/in prison again, FOX have wisely decided [...]

Google to boost Linux with ‘Goobuntu’ ?

In what could be a very interesting development, rumours have resurfaced surrounding Google’s Linux project, know internally as Goobuntu.
Details of the project are limited at this time and it remains to be seen if this will be Google’s entry into the OS market. Ubuntu has been big in the news recently with Dell’s decision to [...]

SuprNova has returned !

In its day, it was the biggest Bittorrent site in the world. Then in December 2004 it was forced to close down after the servers were taken into custody by Slovenian police following pressure from French anti-piracy groups.

Beckham delivers. Again.

Seriously, this kid doesn’t feel pressure. First start, first goal.
Almost identical to something a little bit special from 2001, which is 3rd in England’s 50 Greatest Goals. He was unbelievable that day - as Motson said “…Beckham has virtually played Greece on his own.”

Wii Fit. Orly ?

Like the PS3, the Wii is suffering from a lack of quality titles (unless you’re 12), and with the exception of Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition there’s not a great deal available once you’ve got bored of Wii Sports or quit playing it, like many, for medical reasons.
That said, psyched by their success in turning sports like Baseball and [...]

ET:Quake Wars releases Sept 28th

Finally, Enemy Territory:Quake Wars has an official release date. Europe and Australia will ship on 28th Sept, whilst the U.S. ships 2nd Oct.
It’s not clear when everyone else in the world gets it, or when Australia became more important to gaming than, well, Asia - but it’s a start.
It’ll be interesting to see how ET:QW [...]
