Celebrities on Twitter

Cracked Online reports on 10 Celebrity Twitters Actually Worth Following, including how to find them and "choice tweets," which are indeed worth reading. I'd like to add Greg Grunberg to the list (Matt Parkman from "Heroes," @greggrunberg), whose tweeting I have indeed enjoyed. I added Neil Gaiman as soon as I saw him on the list too, since about 6 of his books are on my "to read" list.

Via Lifehacker (how I love thee), a new service called KickYouTube that lets you easily download YouTube videos, which every geek has needed to do at some point in time. Just find your favorite YouTube, add the word "kick" before the youtube in the URL, and a toolbar will pop up asking you what format you want it in. Click "Generate," then you will be ready to download shortly. I tested this on

Amazon Customer Service Hell

2008-12-11T20:21:00.000-08:00

I've been working with Amazon for the last 24 hours, 4 customer service reps, and my credit card company. Short story is I placed an order intending to pay with gift certificates, and rather than using the gift certificates they charged my credit card on file. The second customer service rep I talked to assured me she could fix the problem, she reduced my gift card balance and then new charges

Nintendo to solve Storage Issue...with Holographs?

2008-07-31T07:16:00.000-07:00

Via Nintendowiifanboy, it seems Nintendo's name has come up on a recent patent application for a holographic storage disc reader. Holographic storage would allow for data to be stored in 3 dimensions throughout a medium - meaning terabytes instead of gigabytes. If only...dare to dream that this could mean for Nintendo's future:HD gaming (assuming they up the graphics output capability)

Richard Cheese is Retiring?!?!

I'm so sad! While looking up cool shows I can see in Vegas, I found out that Richard Cheese, the Master of Martinis, the King of Cool, Sultan of Swank, is retiring. However, I'm glad to hear that he has some projects in mind to include "new songs, new albums, new bands, and new cheerleaders" (w00t)!

As a mom who often is competing with the kids for console time this is shocking, not. The thing that saddens me about the 1up piece is they highlight the female gamer phenomenon with this photo: Yeah, right. Hey I love the Wii, but that photo is nowhere near representative of the

EA Investor Uncertainty

Forbes.com reports that EA is reporting a loss of 33 cents per share this quarter. Not unexpected, as many video game companies take a loss this quarter in anticipation of holiday releases, but what has investors concerned is their lack of providing financial guidance, the crapload of new IP's being released this fall/winter, and the fact that EA's February offer for Take Two Interactive is still
