What's your grocery list look like? Milk, butter-pecan ice cream, bread, butter, blueberries, Blu-ray.  Blu-ray??? Starting in June, DVDPlay is going to be offering Blu-ray discs right along side standard DVD in their standalone rental kiosks. They're the first rental kiosk to offer Blu-ray. You haven't seen these kiosks yet?

The future is now. And dorky looking too. But it's on sale, so who cares?

YelloMosquito just lowered the price on their Qingbar GP300 wireless video glasses. The GP300 were the world's first wireless LCOS video glasses with a media player built in. Originally priced at $399, they're on sale right now for $299. Where's my credit card?

Sony just announced a new speaker that's quite unique. The new Sountina NSA-PF1 is a glass speaker. The Sountina is based on a vibrating glass tube. Sound is omni-directional, as the tube vibrates three-dimensionally in all directions. Afraid it will look like a misplaced fluorescent bulb?

Breaking out of the typical Hollywood timeline, Warner Bros. is planning a new approach with Watchmen. The theatrical release of this take of a graphic novel is scheduled for March. However, instead of waiting months for the DVD release, Warner is doing something completely different.

Last but not least, Sony has agreed to work with the NCTA (National Cable & Telecommunications Association) to support tru2way, the next generation of high-definition cable devices with two-way communication and interactivity. Sony is joining other major manufacturers who've already agreed to work on establishing one standard for all systems.
