Joe marketing machine to start sometime soon, since the movie premier is practically around the corner. So it was no surprise to see that the entire G.I. Joe cartoon series was released on DVD in an awesome collector’s set. Spotted on TVShowsonDVD – the G.I. Joe A Real American Hero Complete Collector’s Set will feature 50 hours of content including the original commercials, featurettes, cobra tattoos, and the Pièce de résistance – a 2GB G.I Joe Dog Tag.

Tom Hanks Betrays Sony, Definitely Uses a Kindle

kindletoomhanks 300x225 Tom Hanks Betrays Sony, Definitely Uses a KindleIt seems that Tom Hanks is having a problem discerning where his true gadgets alliances are. At CES just two months ago, he made a grand speech about how much he used Sony products. But then he hit a snafu. “Describing his electronic book, Hanks pretended to call out Amazon.com’s Kindle instead of Sony’s product, saying he’s using ‘The Ki … Sony Digital Reader, which is a fine product in its own right.’” Hmm, Tom?
To make matters worse, we just caught this quote in People magazine from Tom.
“I got a kindle for newspapers and magazines, not for books. Quite frankly, I prefer to buy books from my neighborhood bookstore.” (People magazine, March 30th, 2009).
Well Tom, we only have one thing to say for you and it’s this – you can’t go on on like this, swinging both ways – gadgets have feelings too ya know.

freeagenttheater 300x224 Seagate FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player Review

The FreeAgent Theater HD Media Player is a pretty unique product, and in some ways it’s the first of its kind. There are an assortment of multimedia hard drives out there that are designed to carry multimedia content like videos and music from your computer that will play on to your TV. However, with these types of products you are locked in to that specific hard drive. The FreeAgent Theater on the other hand is just a hub. In a way you can think of it as a DVD or VHS player with its own built in software that plays movies off of a medium. In this case, the medium’s format is actually the popular Seagate FreeAgent Go Harddrives.

Send 100MB Attachments from Outlook or Photoshop with the YouSendit Plugin

Even though YouSendIt might not offer the biggest file size limit at just 100mb, YouSendIt is one of the most popular free file transfer services on the internet.
