The newest line of toys from the Transformers: War for Cybertron has me drooling. I’m sick of the movie toys, and with the Universe line on hiatus, this new line based on the upcoming game has renewed my desire. UGO.com posted some pics of Prime and Megs. Megs looks a lot like his Classics toy. The Bumblebee pic is from the latest TF collectors club mag. All’s lookin good. Now I just want to find out what the next Masterpiece is. heh

Sure, many of us are skeptical of the iPad’s future success. But I feel that it will change the way we look and consume media. Gizmodo.com has a commentary that just hits it right on the nail. Check it out!

UPDATE:

Pretty good read here too.

British tech guru and critic, Stephen Fry’s thoughts. Some choice quotes from the man below.

“There are many issues you could have with the iPad. No multitasking, still no Flash. No camera, no GPS. They all fall away the minute you use it. I cannot emphasise enough this point: “Hold your judgment until you’ve spent five minutes with it”. No YouTube film, no promotional video, no keynote address, no list of features can even hint at the extraordinary feeling you get from actually using and interacting with one of these magical objects.”

“2. It is made by Apple. I’m not being cute here. If it was made by Hewlett Packard, they wouldn’t have global control over the OS or the online retail outlets. If it was made by Google, they would have tendered out the hardware manufacture to HTC. Apple – and it is one of the reasons some people distrust or dislike them – control it all. They’ve designed the silicon, the A4 chip that runs it all, they’ve designed the batteries, they’ve overseen every detail of the commercial, technological, design and software elements. No other company on earth does that. And being Apple it hasn’t been released without (you can be sure) Steve Jobs being wholly convinced that it was ready. “Not good enough, start again. Not good enough. Not good enough. Not good enough.” How many other CEOs say until their employees want to murder them? That’s the difference.”
