'Tooth Fairy', 'Extraordinary Measures' and 'Legion' will all fall to 'Avatar' ?

1/22/2010 01:04:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , 0 Comments

Neither a grown man in a fairy costume, nor Harrison Ford, nor badass avenging angels will be able to topple Avatar, even as James Cameron’s 3-D extravaganza enters its 6th weekend in theaters. Avatar has already grossed more than $500 million domestically and is likely to surpass The Dark Knight’s cume of $533 million by the close of the weekend. As such, Dwayne Johnson’s The Tooth Fairy, the Harrison Ford- Brendan Fraser medical weepie Extraordinary Measures, and Sony’s supernatural drama Legion will all have to vie for 2nd, 3rd and 4th place, along with holdovers Book of Eli and The Lovely Bones.

Read on for my predictions.

No one knows for certain what exactly will be announced at Apple's semi-exclusive, invitation-only event in San Francisco next week. But a lot of us are thinking it will be the unveiling of an Apple tablet. Here's why you should care.



Apple has finally woken up to the potential and fiscal importance of gaming on the iPhone. Nowadays their popular smartphone, and the iPod Touch, are both marketed as gaming devices. The tablet would be a great way for Apple to extend their reach into gaming.

This morning the Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is actively working with Electronic Arts to show off the device's gaming capabilities. And let's not forget that several gaming sites, including Kotaku, have been invited to the big show on Jan. 27.

Windows 7 way hotter than Vista off the line, now more popular than all OS X versions

1/22/2010 01:03:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , , 0 Comments



We learned back in November that Windows 7 was having a much (much!) better first few days in retail than Vista did when it launched, but now that the system has had a full quarter and change to make an impression, it looks as if that growth isn't slowing down. According to new figures from Net Application, Win7 is achieving a higher level of market penetration in a faster amount of time than Vista did; after a month, Vista was stuck at 0.93 percent, while Win7 nailed the 4 percent mark. After two months, Win7 jumped to 5.71 percent, while Vista was barely over 2 percent after the same amount of time. 'Course, the newest version of Windows had a holiday season to help it out right from the get-go, but there's still no denying that people are flocking to the system even now. What's most interesting, however, is that the overall market share of Windows 7 alone has now surpassed all OS X versions that are being tracked (10.4, 10.5 and 10.6), so put that in your pipe and smoke it. Smoke it long and hard.

Samsung files for “Vita OS” trademark – another mobile OS?

1/22/2010 01:00:00 PM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Samsung is yet to show us what its newly-announced Bada OS is all about. Until we see any Bada phones, though, we have to mention that Samsung could be readying another mobile OS called Vita OS – or maybe that’s just an alternative name for Bada, we can’t know for sure.



What we do know is that Samsung filed for a “Samsung Vita OS” trademark on October 22, 2009, with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) – one day after it filed for the Bada OS trademark.

Like the Bada OS trademark, the Vita OS one is related to “mobile phones; mobile phone operating system software installed in mobile phones”, so it’s obvious that Samsung wanted or still wants to use this name for its mobile platform.
