I'm extremely upset that The Wrestler didn't get a single direction or picture nod. It's absolutely outrageous. It is easily the best film of 2008. I would rate Slumdog Millionaire in my Top Four of 2008, but absolutely nothing compared to the wonder that is Arofnofsky's fourth film.
dude hook it up with some swag.
$10 ones are mostly sold in packs of three at the Apple Store and other retail outlets.
So how big is the Crystal Skull replica? That Iron Man helmet they offered was a miniature joke to what I had previously assumed.
1. Tropic Thunder
2. Bangkok Dangerous
3. The Dark Knight
4. Babylon A.D.
5. Traitor

WHOOOO!
The politics behind the Oscars don't do comedies. Superbad as an Academy Award-winning film? Never. It's the same reason action blockbusters don't get the nod. Superbad IS accurate when it comes to high school "culture" and Juno wasn't. I agree with you on that point and the one that these kids were ignorant (I mean, they brushed off Michael Clayton just because they heard the words "lawyer movie". Who does that, really?) but I wholeheartedly enjoyed Juno. I'm nineteen and I've seen all five of the Best Picture nods and would love to see Juno win (though if I were a betting man my money would be on No Country For Old Men).
Dear Motorola,

Bravo! Thanks for playing the cellphone industry game, it's just not for you. I mean, how many iterations of the RAZR have you brought us? More importantly: How did you manage to beat the RAZR to death and STILL have the audacity to suggest nearly $200 for the dreadful thing?

Your two problems are as follows:

1. The RAZR. As stated above. We don't need the v3, v3m, v3t, v3i, v3xx, v3c, and any other letter or cluster of that you can put in front of it. Remember how "exclusive" the black RAZR was? Yeah, every celebrity had it in their Oscar swag bag and it was said to be the hottest thing ever (yeah, a color change. Face it, only Nintendo can pull that one off and get away with it), then you started offering them to everyone for free who agreed to two years in a family plan with any GSM carrier.

2. Your firmware. What is this proprietary garbage you have? Granted, it's not as annoying as Verizon which shoves it down EVERY cellphone's throat but at least Verizon's firmware is actually functional and much less frustrating to use. This is 2008. The iPhone's been out for long enough. This is technology. Adapt or lose your business.

Oh wait, you already have.
Put OSX on it! Leopard FTW.
You guys didn't get the awesome Lightning in a Bottle shirt!
Go Juno! I don't think it's overhyped/overrated, I think it's well deserved. Michael Clayton was pretty good, though it required somewhat a higher intelligence level to comprehend than the regular moviegoer's.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
