I knew going in that I would be moved by Shake Hands With The Devil. I knew that I would sympathize with Canadian General (now Senator) Romeo Dallaire as he struggled against international indifference; as he was forced to witness the Rwandan genocide and to interact with its perpetrators while being forbidden to intervene; as he returned home to Canada and was treated for post-traumatic stress, and was eventually driven to attempt suicide because of what he had seen, and done, and been unable to do.
I knew the content of the movie would impress me. What I didn’t expect was that I would be so impressed by the making of the film itself. The music, the cinematography, the acting, the script — all were fantastic. With a subject like the Rwandan genocide it would be easy to sensationalize, to go for the goriest and most emotionally wrenching moments possible, to create martyrs and monsters and to leave out the details. Too many accounts of Rwanda show a spontaneous, inexplicable, outburst of tribal violence — they make no mention of the planning that went into the genocide, the organization, the training, the scheduling, the making of lists. They don’t mention the civil war that had been ongoing for years. Shake Hands With The Devil includes that context, and shows the various international factors and voices that constrained Dallaire and his men. Not many international players come out of this looking good.
Some critics have suggested that the movie focuses too much on Dallaire, and not enough on the true victims of the genocide; that its emphasis on his struggle somehow minimizes the suffering of the Rwandans. That’s a cheap shot in my book. Everyone is entitled to tell their own story, and the story of the commander of the United Nations forces in Rwanda, who was given explicit orders not to intervene in the genocide, is one that is certainly worth hearing.

Tuxedo Jack from the Something Awful Forums lost his 60" projection TV this weekend to a flying Wiimote. Here's his story:
"We brought the Wii home and played it pretty much nonstop for the past 24 hours. At 12:10am, during a slower couch-sitting game of Wii Sports: Bowling, my Nintendo Wii got angry with me. My buddy Troy reels back to roll his ball as he's done about 300 times tonight and suddenly feels the controller slip from his hand. (THANK GOD for the wrist strap right?) Nope. Wrist strap snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner. Be warned: Sweaty hands + faulty Wiimote wrist strap = broken ass TV."He believes the incident may have only busted the outer glass, but it appears the man is TV-less at the moment. Any other reports of flying Wiimotes out there, either by faulty wrist straps or over-excited movements?
[Thanks, hohoho]

A broomload of new stills released by Warner Bros.
According to actual scientific research, a robotic Pied Piper can lead a flock (gaggle?) of roaches out of a secure location and into the open, where they could technically be exterminated more easily. José Halloy, a biology researcher at the Free University of Brussels, was lead author on a paper published today in Science, wherein he details his robotic roach exploits.
Halloy and his team corralled roaches in an area covered by two discs, a dark one and a lighter one. Communists by nature, roaches tend to cluster together, motivated by group instinct. Since they all dig the dark, they did as expected and congregated on that side of the arena. But when robotic roaches were sent in to mingle, and then started easing their way over to the light side, the real roaches followed about 60% of the time, overriding their own survival instincts to hang with the cool kids.
You may notice that the robot in the picture looks nothing like a roach. Says the NYT:
[Roaches]have weak eyes, which allowed the researchers to create a robotic roach that resembles a miniature golf cart more than an insect. In the roach world, however, looking right is not as important as smelling right, and the scientists doused the machines with eau de cockroach sex hormones.
Awww yeah. So next time you have a roach problem, find a small robot and slap some succulent roach cologne on that sucker, and see what kinda sparks fly. [

The format war has been ongoing for over a year, and despite the fact there is no clear winner, Blu-ray has gone so far as issuing press releases in the past to declare itself victorious.
But it seems Sony has now realized it's not in the ring with a push-over, and winning the format war is not going to be as simple as the cocky Blu-ray camp has boasted it to be.
Going into the all-important holiday season, Toshiba has been hawking its players for as low as $200 in the U.S., while the cheapest Blu-ray players are twice as much.
Furthermore, Sony seems to be suffering from, er, Blu-balls, after Paramount Pictures announced it was going to put out to HD DVD exclusively.

If you live in Japan and drive a stripy Nissan Micra (March), we are so sorry. Still, if you desperately want an NEC Nissan branded laptop to match said vehicle, you are in luck. NEC has just announced an equally grotesque laptop, finished with enough stripes to create an accomplished rock band.
Beyond the eccentric exterior and a few strategically placed Nissan tags, the ¥120 498 ($1020) laptop is a run of the mill LaVie G model. The device packs a 1.8GHz Sempron processor, 512MB RAM, 15.4" widescreen display and runs Windows Vista Home Basic. Our advice on this gadget; look (for a short period as it may burn your eyes), but do not (under any circumstance) touch. And you thought life couldn't get worse; a Nissan Micra and a matching laptop—be brave; it'll be OK in the end. [Digital World Tokyo]

Last week, we showed you that other video from Code.tv that featured Fabrizio Brienza, owner and/or promoter of Flatiron club Happy Valley, struggle to keep his lush chest hair under control.
Thanks to some resourceful readers, we find out he has other talents, including acting in soft core pornography (NSFW, obviously). In a scene from the film, Hotel Erotica, we see a large bosomed woman straddling Fabrizio at about his navel. That is one position we did not learn in our high school sex ed class. As with all clips of this nature, watch at your own risk - your eyes cannot unsee what they are about to see.

Sutton Pierce may in fact not be the name, but instead was a fake-out ployed on the pushy press. It has been noted that neither Brit nor Kevin ever actually confirmed the "SP" designation as fact. Furthermore, the reported grapevine has produced a different possible name: Jayden James. What evidence stands in favor of the JJ John Hancock? Apparently K-Fed's mother has been overheard calling him Jayden.
This is what happens when you dont get that "baaa" means "no!"
Gammu writes "SiliconUser has an in-depth history of the Palm, starting with its humble roots. The Pilot (later PalmPilot and finally just Palm) saved Palm Computing. Before the release of the Pilot, the company was subsisting (barely) on revenue from connectivity packages for HP PDA's and a version of Graffiti for the Newton. This was because its first PDA hardware product had failed under the weight of feature creep and design by committee. The first article in a series follows the early days of this company-reforming product."

Kotaku states:
"Sure, the Nintendo Wii is selling well in Japan. But are people actually using it or is the console just room decor? President of Famitsu publisher Enterbrain Hirokazu Hamamura not only predicts 30 million DSes sold by 2009, but also shows figures that indicate something like 67 percent of Japanese Wii owners are not using the Wii console recently. Which probably means people bought the Wii and Wii Sports, played it until they got sick of it and have returned to their DSes. Sure, Super Mario Galaxy will have folks playing the crap out of their Wiis again. But until then? Damn, it's been a long, hard dry spell since the console launched. "
Samsung has five new large-sized touchscreen LCDs out that could bring something similar to CNN's Magic Wall into your own home (or mall, or airport). Branded under the TS series, the five LCDs range between 32-inches to 82-inches and can be linked together to create one massive wall of touchy goodness. While they're made to be used as point-of-sale terminals or information LCDs, who's to say we couldn't find something more creative to do if we got our grubby hands on them? [
