That is a genius way to get people to walk into your store, often the hardest thing to do for any kind of retail establishment.

@Nitemancometh: I don't think release dates matter to people like they do when a film hits theatrical release. When it hits DVD, to me, it's 'released' when Redbox/Netflix/Best Buy has it available.

I'm sure location based apps are fine for people that are younger without families, but why would couples with young children want to broadcast where they are to anyone who could potentially track them?

Very Cowon-D2-ish, but at least the Korean player is around 2"+. A 1.7 inch touchscreen only player is going to be tricky to operate.

@TheSkilletFan: LOL!

Blockbuster reminds me of a franchise horror movie villain who won't stay dead. You could burn Jason/Freddy/Chucky; you could chop their heads off; throw them into a mangling industrial machine; pour a vat of acid on them.....and they'd still keep coming.

I'm sure he doesn't really believe his own statement. He *has* to say this because Sony also owns a movie and music studio.

Does the iPod Classic stay, or does Apple retire its jersey?

Wow, all of you have the large screen Macbook Pro? Blogging must pay better than I thought.

I've been to around three different Hooters. The best one (the one with the best looking girls) tends to be the one closest to a large university, as many of your female servers are students working part-time.

I like Avatar, but it's not a 'prestige' movie. It's a big budget B movie.

@MacAttack: It's also used in other types of marketing, notably movies and publishing.

LG, come back and talk to me when your tablet is actually shipping.

I like that a lot actually.

Whatever. This lives or dies on how good (or not) Meego turns out to be. Or if it can attract more third party developers than Symbian could.

@Michael Ellis: Even if it were possible, it still likely wouldn't happen, due to platform-exclusivity deals.

If you guys read the press release, this is largely about Intel's move to try to push security software on mobile phones and future mobile devices (read: tablets).

@Anthone Tony Si: Since they signed a deal which gives them exclusive NFL game licensing rights.
