A lot of people have been emailing and texting each other about the possibility of a “second” moon appearing on the 27th of August, 2010, but rest assured that this is not possible this time around. An incident like this took place on the 27th of August, 2003 when the planet Mars was at it’s [...]
The miners who were trapped in a mine in Chile have released another video and it seems that they are in good spirits. The video is being shot by camera which has been lowered to them through a bore hole. The video shows that the workers are mostly shirtless and all bearded and have lost [...]

The big TV networks announced their upcoming shows this week and, well, Syfy is now dead to me and no amount of Stargate can restore my faith in the station. Let me introduce to you Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen , which will be just one of the new shows shown on the upcoming Thursday reality block. Zap2IT Zap2It , The docu-series by executive producers Kevin Dill and Mechelle Collins will center on Vigneron’s new catering and event company that will combine imagination and culinary arts to create avant-garde delights for picky clients. Some of the inspiring events include a Goth-rock fashion show, a fairytale graduation party and the ribbon-cutting for a subway line. Yeah, a cooking and catering reality TV show. On Syfy. Who else is eagerly awaiting 2012? It’s probably best to hit the Earth’s reset button at this point.

Everyone’s favorite Dances With Wolves remake, Avatar, is coming soon to Blu-ray and DVD. Just don’t expect many extras. Or 3-D. As reported by the great TheDigitalBits.com , 20th Century Fox will shortly announce a 4/22 release date for Avatar on Blu-ray and DVD. But be aware that if you want some bonus features, or 3D , you might have to double or even triple dip. According to the article: “Don’t expect any extras, however, because you won’t get any – just a menu…that’s being done to maximize the video and audio quality by devoting all the available disc space to it. Here’s the thing though: The studio obviously already knows its going to be double-dipping on the title later this year with a more elaborate multi-disc special edition…which shouldn’t come as any surprise to you. But neither this round, nor the November version, will be 3D. That’ll likely come in a third dip a year or two from now. You see, in order to sell more than a few dozen copies in 3D, Fox needs the market for 3D on Blu-ray (meaning capable players and displays) to… well, frankly EXIST… first. So for now, it’s movie-only versions on Earth Day, more elaborate versions in November and no 3D this year.” Personally, I’m hoping for a Kevin Costner audio commentary. He’s not too busy these days, and I think he’d probably do it for a hot sandwich at this point. Image from here, but I don’t know what it is.

Sepp Blatter (left), the FIFA president, has explained why there won’t be goal-line technology at this year’s World Cup , saying he wants the sport to maintain a “human element” and that all levels of soccer, from 6-year-old kids to open-goal-missing Gonzalo Higuaín of Real Madrid, need to be played with the same rules. Whatever you say, Sepp. I hope for your sake a Spain or Italy or Brazil don’t get knocked out of the tournament because of a controversial goal; you won’t hear the end of it. So mighty Sepp, who’s apparently one of the most powerful men on Earth according to someone who appeared on World Football Daily the other day (again, a fine podcast, well worth the $5/month I pay), had this to say: No matter which technology is applied, at the end of the day a decision will have to be taken by a human being. This being the case, why remove the responsibility from the referee to give it to someone else? It is often the case that, even after a slow-motion replay, ten different experts will have ten different opinions on what the decision should have been. I love how we’re praising the idea of debating outright wrongheaded decision because it makes the sport exciting. What’s so wrong with wanting to see the right decisions being made, even if it’s at the “expense” of post-match pub debates? But whatever, I’ve already written quite a bit about the subject.
