The HTC Hero, which we introduced in July, has finally gotten some final, major specifications. Sprint will be the exclusive supplier of the Hero, to be retailed at a surprisingly good $180 with a 2-year contract. The phone will also be compatible with Sprint’s wildly popular “Simply Everything” unlimited talk and data for $99/month, cheap compared to the $150+/month for a similar AT&T service.
I’m excited for the phone, but I’m a little upset that, as consumers, we have to worry about which cell carrier gets the latest phones, and if the deal is exclusive people committed to contracts could never be able to get a phone they really want. Its bad business in my opinion. But, rest assured Sprint has been committed to its network and improving it with good technology making it one of the fastest wireless Internet providers around. You won’t be stuck onto AT&T with their poor networking capabilities and iPhone congestion.
You can catch this phone in stores October 11th in the United States.

A movie that has had cult-like following will have a breadth of renewal this October with a new sequel: Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. The original movie has an intense following of fans that will get to watch the continuance of the first movie’s storyline, and once again follow the MacManus brothers carry out business.
All Saints Day will bring its viewers along on a mission against the mob who has killed the MacManus brothers’ beloved priest. They make a bloody mess tracking down the culprits in Boston to bring them to justice once and for all. The movie will be familiar with a new plot and new action hoping to jibe with the cult of Boondock fans.
The cast will be very familiar, introducing only a few new characters along with the original actors who made the first movie as unique as it is, as well as a story by the original writer, Troy Duffy. Be sure to catch Boondock Saints 2 in theaters October 30.

I began using Snow Leopard, the latest release of Apple’s Mac OS X operating system, this weekend and have been messing around with it every which way that I normally do. I’m a heavy computer user so it’s important that everything works as it would and there has been enough talk about this release to make us all sick.

Fuck. No. If you listen or read news sources such as Fox News or The Sun, then you don’t actually get the news. You only get the stories that people want to hear even though they are not actually spot-on, accurate stories. Such as this story by the Sun from UK that went online yesterday about Megan Fox being cast to play Catwoman in the next Batman movie by Christopher Nolan. Whether or not the story is premature, completely fake, or just hype for the press, it is not true as of now.
Warner Brothers, the owners of the Batman series, have come out and said, “It’s not true. There is no script. There is no project to be cast in.” Such a rumor-busting comment appeared on People.com first, in an attempt to manage the big stir that occurred on the Internet last night.
You all wanted her to be Catwoman, but I’m sorry she won’t be. Consensus from various sources seem to be mixed as to how people would react to the story being true and the movie had come out with Megan Fox as the Catwoman. Some say that she would kill the roll because she is talentless, but others believe she could do it well (while wanking to the screen). I for one, do believe that Halle Berry played a wonderful Catwoman, and Megan Fox as a replacement would be a big step down. They are nicely-sized shoes to fill and Megan would not fill them properly.
If you want to see Megan she is starring in Jennifer’s Body, which is set to come out September 18, a movie about a possessed cheerleader who begins killing off her classmates.
Again, as of now, and until more credible information shows up from Warner Brothers or a similar source, this rumor is false. Megan Fox will not be playing Catwoman in the next Batman.

As I keep saying, I love cars and rarely get to speak about them. But this week there was a particular gem that made its way to various web sites, speaking to me saying that I have to tell people. The Aston Martin One-77 is a car of grizzly, monstrous proportions.

I had the pleasure of sitting down to watch District 9, an action movie about a suppressed alien population in South Africa. District 9 has gotten some acclaim over this past, successful opening weekend taking the number one box office spot. The blood and explosions were sweet, but the CGI was what made this movie’s buzz a phenomenon. Want to know what it was like? Keep reading!
