Disney Acquires Marvel

Posted by: Nicole In: Comics|Movies

So as I’m sure most of the comic community and a few of you movie lovers have heard, Disney has acquired Marvel for a measly little $4 billion dollars.  I suppose I like to imagine that in some comical (get it?) fashion, Scrooge McDuck himself handed over a ridiculously large check to Stan Lee just [...]

OSU is going mobile

Posted by: Nicole In: Technology

The Ohio State University home page has a variety of news tidbits flash across it each quarter, and this quarter one really caught my eye: there is now an OSU app for iPhones and other smart phones that students (see: freshman) can use to help them discover campus. Apparently “m.osu.edu” is like a mobile Buckeye [...]

Snow Leopard Launches Today

That’s right boys and girls, with glowing reviews abound and an incredibly low price point, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be licking the glass at your local Apple store right now.  Just to double-check, I called our local Apple store yesterday to find out if they were going to have a midnight launch, but no [...]

In response to Sony’s $299.99 PS3 Slim, Microsoft has confirmed that they are indeed phasing out the Xbox 360 Pro and are leaving the public with two options (giggle): the $199.99 Arcade system or the $299.99 Elite system. The big change here is that the Elite is $100 less than it used to be, but [...]

Nicole: 1, Joshua: 0

Posted by: Nicole In: Games

Yesterday Joshua and I released the results of the World of Warcraft competition. If for some reason your  computer wasn’t playing our podcast (there really isn’t any other reason you wouldn’t have listened to it), you would have found out I was the victor. It was a very close race the entire way through, and [...]

The race to 80 is finally, officially at its end.  It’s been a long, arduous battle and one that’s been an absolute blast.  Take a listen to find out who was the victor as well as the skinny on the new WoW expansion, Cataclysm, Inglorious Basterds, what’s coming for consoles this week and as always, [...]

Mac Noob: Making an Apple

Posted by: Nicole In: Technology

Okay, so this might not be as helpful and informative as how to delete files, shortcuts or how to right-click, but it’s a novel trick that will astonish your friends (hopefully) and keep you entertained. If using a Mac, by holding option-shift-K you’ll create a cute little apple symbol. I know it’s probably lame but [...]

Posted by: Joshua In: Technology

While I much appreciate all of you that take time out of your busy days to give us feedback, I don’t appreciate the mountain of spam comments we’ve begun getting recently. At first it wasn’t a huge deal as we didn’t get loads of it, but at this point we’re getting so many that it’s [...]
