Coupled with the news that the Xbox 360 is getting full-on TV, WP7 Phones will join in with a new Xbox Companion app. Everything you'll want to watch will be controllable right from your smartphone.
This didn't take a lot of time. The obligatory Hitler gets angry about the iPhone 4S video is out. My favorite phrase: "I want people to know that I'm better than they are". It's funny because it's true.
Japan has been struck by magnitude 7.0 or greater earthquakes a staggering 46 times since the pagoda at the Horyu-Ji Temple was built in 607AD. So, how did the 122 meter tall structure stay upright through all that shaking?
Once upon a time, new iPods were the event for Apple. Yesterday, Apple talked iPods for all of 10 minutes. No radical new features. No surprises. If yesterday was any indication, all iPods—not just the Classic—have nearly reached the end of their innovation cycle.
In typically random British fashion we're sending a phone into space. No, it's not an iPhone, or a Galaxy S2 -- that would have been appropriate -- no the lucky little guy will be the Google Nexus One.
The BBC is cutting yet more jobs, with another 2,000 poor souls back on the dole, some 11% of the Beeb's workforce, following 900 redundancies in February. No cut in services this time -- BBC2 and BBC4 are safe, for now. [FT via TNW]
Nope. No uncanny valley here—we see a few shots of actual, humanoid talking. No dead doll faces. Just pure bloody brilliant action. Did you see that motorcycle?! Well, Mr. Spielberg. I'm officially watching this. [MSN UK via /Film]

Most often Auroras are green, with some dark violet and some cyan-ish blue. But sometimes they are red.
Everyone and their aunt has played Snake, right? It came standard on most Nokia phones (it probably still does), a bare-bones monochromatic puzzler that involved stopping a greedy snake from bashing into its own tail. It was boring as all hell, and the only thing it was good for was... Well, not much actually.
How many different interchangeable-lens camera systems does one world need? The answer, according to Fujifilm, is MORE MORE MORE, as they've just unveiled a new set-up in Japan, which will go on sale next Spring.
The historic monument known as Bletchley Park has had all sorts of do-gooders rallying for its place in the future, after a lack of funding slid it into a state of neglect. With this £4.6m Heritage Lottery Fund, the old WWII codebreakers' building can be restored and turned into a tourist attraction.
Even though it's bound to burn a hole through your desk, I still kind of want this thing. Yet another "classic" from Art Lebedev, the Svintus plug pig has 17 Type F sockets for all your Russian power needs.
You'd think the smart people at Apple might check for this kind of thing in advance, but alas. Japan's giggling in the wake of iPhone 4S' birth, as voice control wizard Siri sounds a lot like shiri—ass. Oops!
After infiltrating Windows 7; the internet, and of course your eardrums, it appears the poptart-kitteh has snuck its way inside the Spotify progress bar. According to PCWorld, it was added in Spotify's big Facebook update two weeks ago, and thankfully will only hoon across the bar when playing the actual Nyan Cat song. Phew, we're safe then.
