Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
With all the hype of Metal Gear Solid 4 and its soon to be released status sometimes its
hard to recall just how the franchise has got to this point. For most it is assumed that
MGS began on the Playstation 1. This is a common mistake and can be easily corrected
in a fun way.

Vita Audio-those fine purveyors of quality audio equipment have conjured up yet another dreamy looking stereo that combines a soft wood finish with the reassuring touch of steel. That’s not all though, it does contain some cool features too.
[Update 12/04/08: YouTube now allows for HD streaming. and
YouTube has enabled Widescreen embeds.
Updated 11/24/08: YouTube defaults to 16:9 player format, but what does that mean for the web video industry?]
YouTube’s been going under some mega changes so far this year and now they’ve updated their new player to resize itself to true widescreen resolution. For right now that only pro’s that I can notice between the new widescreen player versus the older player is that if there are widescreen black bars the majority of them will be cut off.
Is this really all that newsworthy? I say no, but the question is why does YouTube find it necessary to release a widescreen format player? There’s got to be something else that this new form of a player can offer that the old one didn’t. Hopefully they’ll let us know what exactly that is soon enough.
Right now because their new player does not embed onto third party sites we can’t show you the differences directly within this post. You can see an example here. Make sure to turn on and off the old/new player to see the differences.

It seems that The Dark Knight and awesomeness go hand-in-hand. After the devastatingly awesome trailer that came on earlier this week, we now have a secretly leaked image of Two-Face, the movie’s second villain, after of course, The Joker.
While The Joker has been the movie’s poster boy, poor old Two-Face has gotten hardly any attention other than as Harvey Dent the politician. But don’t underestimate him. If ye be not afraid of spoilers, hit the jump to find out what Two-Face truly looks like in the film.
You will be amazed. ***THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILERS BELOW***

Having been a gadget news and reviews writer for quite some time I’ve seen my share of the sublime and ridiculous in the world of tech. But here’s something that’s a little out of this world-the U200i UFO watch (cringe).
In terms of the sublime and ridiculous I’m not sure where this fits in. It certainly is different. Not only is it a watch, but an MP3 player and cell phone.
OK, so most of the latest mobile phones have music playing capabilty, and they can also tell the time-believe it or not. But I’ve never seen a mash-up quite like this. It looks like something that should have been in the Back To The Future films.
