DJ Loe Kee Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) you can now trade your hd dvd's for blu-rays http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10224852-1.html If you aligned yourself with the red team during the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray format war, we wouldn't blame you if you felt a little turned off to the whole idea of high-def discs. Warner's new Red2Blu program is trying to relieve some of the sting for the losers of the format war, giving owners of Warner HD DVD movies the option to trade in their movies for Blu-ray versions of the same movie. The program isn't free--you send in the cover art from your HD DVDs along with $4.95 per movie, plus a $6.95 shipping and handling fee for your entire order--but it's definitely better than having to shell out another $30 bucks for a new Blu-ray. There are some minor restrictions, such as you can only trade in 25 movies per household and only one copy of an individual title, but the biggest restriction is that the offer is only good for Warner titles.

At the same time, I think hospital ER visits will rise. "My friend did a combo move while playing Tekken on my Xbox. The force feedback was great until hit #2 of 100. After that, it was all a blur."

areaseven Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Palm already came out with the Touchstone. True, but Nokia's version is built into the phone, so there's no need to bring an extra accessory with you.

Ghost Train Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) While searching for something completely unrelated I stumbled upon this: The Bloop . In 1997, a US Navy hydrophone array picked up an unusual sound in the Pacific. The amplitude was such that it could be heard from sensors 5,000 km away from the source. The sound matched the profile of a living creature, but whatever produced it would have been several times larger than a Blue Whale - which has a length of about 33m, and is perhaps the largest animal ever to exist. The sound clip is freely available at the NOAA website as well. Edited August 28, 2009 by Ghost Train

Ghost Train Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Indeed, many people tied it to the Chtulu mythos. But it's still a bit off from the supposed location of Ryleh according to your map... did he get off the couch to get the mail?
