First Netflix , then Hulu Plus , and now VUDU . The movie rental service is making its way onto PlayStation 3 just in time for Thanksgiving later this month — November 23rd, to be exact. If you’re familiar with Walmart’s recently-acquired video service , you know the drill: on-demand HD titles streamed for a fee, up to 1080p and Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 surround sound. The interface will be the same as every other VUDU iteration — until mid-December, that is. That’s when, as we’ve been told, the company plans to roll out version 2.0 of its UI. In addition to being more streamlined, there’s ratings, recommendations, and most interestingly, support for PS3′s Move controller. Pictures below, press releases after the break.

Of course, this clever plan assumes that Serena doesn’t text or call anyone using her new SIM, but, you know, just go with it. Video after the break.

During his Special Comment, the “Countdown” host arrogantly claimed “Koppel and everybody else in the dead, objective television news business” failed the previous decade for not reporting “the utter falsehood and dishonesty of the process by which this country was committed to the wrong war” (video follows with commentary and transcript at end of post): read more

We only got to heft the one-pound slate for a few seconds, but we got the basic feel of the device in the hand — warm to the touch, solid if a little plasticky, with a responsive glass touchscreen up top and a bottom that’s mildly rubberized. Balsillie didn’t bother to locate the ” module cavity ” for us, but he did try to explain where those 5300mAh lithium ion cells might hide — we suspect the CEO exaggerated only slightly when he told us “it’s all battery and glass inside.” He then wrenched the device forcefully from our unprepared hands (at least that’s how we like to think it went down) and proceeded to let us film a brief film showing off the QNX and Air-based OS juggling a spreadsheet, photo gallery and some beautiful underwater footage all at the same time. Hit the break for that hastily-shot video. Continue reading BlackBerry PlayBook first hands-on! (video) BlackBerry PlayBook first hands-on!

But wait! In steps every American’s favorite pilot, the Hudson splash-landing hero of Flight 1549 fame, Sully Sullenberger, to say, you know what? Keep your hands to yourselves. “I can tell you from my perspective as an airline pilot for three decades, this just isn’t an effective use of our resources.” Sully gracefully glided into the story just as the cable nets were whipping themselves into a junk-touching frenzy over the camera phone video of passenger John Tyner’s run in with the TSA at San Diego’s airport, telling agents he considered the uber-sensitive search to be, essentially, a sexual assault, advising agents (and creating a phrase that pays) “don’t touch my junk.” On CNN’s American Morning Tuesday, anchor Kiran Chetry asked Sullenberger what he thinks of the pat down policy, paraphrasing John Tyner’s concerns this way: “I don’t want anybody but my wife and maybe my doctor touching me in the places these people are touching me.” Sully, by the way, can land a passenger jet in a river without so much as getting a passenger wet, but he couldn’t stop the TSA from hand searching his own wife during a recent trip. (Hands off Mrs. Sully, you goons!) “She was touched in sensitive places,” said Sully. There’s video of his interview at the link . And if you think it’s bad now, one website is reporting that if you wear loose fitting clothing or shorts the TSA will put their hands down your pants, not just grope from the outside. I’m beginning if the real goal of the TSA is to kill the private airline industry to pave the way for another nationalized industry.

No, not an all-in-one in that it has a PC built in there, but rather it’s intended to serve double-duty as a computer monitor and an HDTV. Its 120hz refresh rate and 5.5ms response time mean it’ll keep up with Call of Duty , while its 178-degree viewing angle, 5000:1 contrast ratio IPS panel, and integrated 2.1 channel sound system means it should do a decent job at movie playback. And, with a combined power output for all three speakers of 11 watts you won’t even have to worry about waking the neighbors. Right now this is looking like it’ll only be hitting the Japanese market and, while Mitsu hasn’t announced a price yet, we found one for pre-order at
