For most of us TRON came at a time when we were impressionable, and rocked our socks off. Now, for the kids kid in all of us, Disney has created a small collection of TRON toys that light up, feature top tier remote control handling, and make dinner when your wifey doesn’t feel like it. “The new TRON: Legacy action figures are the first to feature impulse projection technology, which brings the characters to life by projecting digitized, illuminated and moving faces onto the helmet just as in the film. The line features 7.5” figures and a special 12” Ultimate Sam Flynn figure. The characters also speak phrases from the TRON: Legacy film. With prices ranging from $15 to $40, TRON Action Figures are expected to immediately attract avid collectors and to shake up the toy aisle this holiday season. (Ages 4 & up).”

Sports Story: Italian Stallions Castrated

June 25th, 2010  •   Posted by: Mark Sabb  •   Posted in: Sports Story  •   1 Comment

No one would expect the defending champs to fall so early, especially not to Slovakia. They say you are the champions until someone else wins, but in the case, that saying does not apply. Italian soccer itself has been on a steady decline; however, the winning of the 2006 World Cup put a façade over the problem. “The lack of new faces and fresh blood will have the doomsayers out in full force. The fact, too, that Inter Milan won the 2010 Champions League without an Italian in the starting XI will further the potential crisis.”

Air Jordan III ‘Fire Red’ Confirmed for 2011

June 24th, 2010  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: sneakers  •   1 Comment

Released back in early 2007, Jordan Brand will be waiting only a short four years to release the much-coveted Air Jordan III ‘Fire Red’ sneakers. Although JB’s retro dumping has been getting a lot of criticism from purists as it might only do harm for sneaker culture in the long run, most Jordan heads will be too busy jumping for joy to grab another pair or two at retail once they drop to care about the long term. For now, no other information has been made available, but stay tuned for release dates and availability as they become known. mash rating: 9.5/10

Digital Daily: White iPhone 4 Delayed

June 24th, 2010  •   Posted by: Mark Sabb  •   Posted in: Digital Daily  •   Be the first to comment!

So, the iPhone has two-tway video recorders, and faster internet. There is even an app to wipe your ass, but Steve Jobs and Co. can’t figure out how to make their iPhone white, which has pushed its release back to the second half of July. From Apple, “White models of Apple’s new iPhone 4 have proven more challenging to manufacture than expected, and as a result they will not be available until the second half of July. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.”
