Etnies x Kevin Smith

Honestly, the best thing about these kicks is the bottom sole pic of
Jay and Silent Bob...the 'Clerks Jameson 2' debuted in a humble
way at San Diego Comic-Con.

New Kindle, Lower Price

Amazon's now taking pre-orders for their newest version of
the Kindle which is thinner and lighter(by 21% and 15%
respectively). The internal memory storage has doubled to
4 GB which amounts to 3,500 books. It is also Wi-Fi enabled
and 3G compatible. For the Wi-Fi only model, it's $139 and
the Wi-Fi + 3G is fifty dollars more. Seems like they're stepping
up to the iPad competition in bold style.

Bilal - Robots

Airtight's Revenge might just be that dopeness based on this

StreetFighter x Tekken

Yes, that's NOT a typo. This trailer just dropped at Comic-Con 2010
in San Diego. From the press release:

"As in Street Fighter IV, 2D gameplay will feature fully realized 3D
character models battling for domination in both new and familiar
highly detailed environments that are brought to life with engaging
animations. In addition to modes such as Versus and Training that
will feature new enhancements to make the fighting experience
more in-depth and enjoyable, Street Fighter X Tekken will include
Tag Team combat where players select two fighters to deliver knockout
assist attacks and special combos."

Some long debates may finally be put to rest...or not...either way
this is full of WIN.

Mad Men Tech

For all you 'Mad Men' fans, Core77 and J Stephenson have come up with a
bold question: what if the PC existed in those mad, mad days of 1960's
