But once again EA takes a dump on PS3 owners with a crappier version.

In light of this thrilling aviation story out of Ireland today, let's rethink this whole banning of the in-flight cell phone conversations, shall we? Sure, allowing for calls during that 6-hour red eye from San Francisco to Boston will bring out the jerkoff in a lot of people, but then again one of those jackasses could save your life! This was the case during a flight from Kerry to Jersey last Thursday, when a pilot lost all electrical power, radio and radar, and had to be guided in to land with nothing more than SMS and a quick-thinking air traffic controller. The plane landed safely, and the ATC is being heralded a hero, but cellphones on planes still sucks, albeit slightly less so than before. [Irish Times via Slashdot]

On Thursday, July 26, 2007, J.J. Abrams appeared at San Diego Comic-Con during the Paramount Pictures panel to discuss his yet-untitled monster movie, which pundits are currently calling Cloverfield. Specifically, Abrams talked about his motivations for making the film, and hinted at its actual title. "This is going to be really quick," Abrams said to the capacity crowd. "I just want to say I want a monster movie. I want a great monster movie. I've wanted a monster movie for so long, and I was in Japan a year ago with my son who is eight, and all he wanted to do was go to toy stores - so I know he's my son. And we went to the store and there were still all of these Godzillas, and I thought we need our own monster. We need a monster movie - not like King Kong. I love King Kong - King Kong is adorable - and Godzilla is a charming monster, but I wanted something that was just insane and intense. "So we decided to make this movie and we're making it for you now, and it's almost done shooting," Abrams continued. "I watch dailies and I'm more excited about the movie itself than the trailer, which has gotten an amazing response and I can't thank you enough." Abrams teased the audience with a laundry list of things to expect prior to the film's release. "We have six months before this movie comes out, which is a long time," he said. "So in the coming months you're going to get a whole bunch of things: you're going to get the real trailer, you're going to get the real poster, you're going to get to see footage from the movie, and you'll get the real title. I won't give you that today," he said to a disapproving crowd. "Do you think we'll call it Monstrous? No," he said definitively, indicating that a possible title that recently appeared online was incorrect

3:10 to Yuma is best known as a 1957 Glenn Ford/Van Heflin Western, but now it's getting a much buzzed-about remake from director James Mangold (Walk the Line) that stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale. Neither of those stars were on hand at Comic-Con to promote the film today, but two supporting players -- Ben Foster and Peter Fonda -- were. "I play Charlie Prince, who is Russell Crowe's vice-president of this outlaw outfit," says Foster, who is best known to genre fans as Angel from X-Men: The Last Stand. "And Russell's character gets kidnapped and I go on a killing spree to get him back. It was a lot of fun!" Fonda, meanwhile, should need no introduction. As the son of Henry, brother of Jane, and star of Easy Rider, he is a Hollywood legend. "I play a guy who was a bounty hunter who was hired by the Pinkerton Agency to protect their stagecoach [for] gold deliveries, cash, and payrolls too," says Fonda. "Stuff like that. And I have a history with Ben Wade, the Russell Crowe character. It's never explained what that history is but probably when I was a bounty hunter I hunted him." The film has got fans of the Western genre excited, with some saying that it is going to bring the form back in vogue on the big screen. Fonda, however, just seems interesting in talking about the shotgun he uses in the film… "There are some gun fights involving me, and interestingly enough people have asked me, 'How can you use a shotgun?'" he says. "I have this sawed-off, double-barrel shotgun … and I quickly point out we're shooting buckshot and each shell carries nine 30-caliber balls, lead 30 caliber. So one barrel has that and the other barrel has that, so that's 18 30-caliber bullets on their way. I pop it open, two shells drop out, two shells drop in, ready to rock and roll again! And the other cowboy's loading their gun, one bullet goes in, another bullet goes in. By that time I've got out 38 rounds. This guy doesn't have a bloody chance! So I'm shotgun, you bet!" Right, Peter. Regardless of any fetishistic shotgun talk, however, Fonda says that it was Mangold's vision for the classic story that got him and the other cast members most excited about joining the project. "Jim Mangold's take on the original 3:10 to Yuma, he takes it to a new level," says Fonda. "He's improved on the story, he's improved on the aspects of all the personalities involved. He's made deeper characters out of this script. The Christian Bale character was really small in the original 3:10 to Yuma. It's been [expanded]. It's character-driven, but full of action. So being able to mix those two -- sometimes action is not character-driven at all, or character-driven is [like], 'Ohhh, when are we going to get some action?' It's got it all. It's got character drive. It's got incredibly good action, very well-shot stuff. The stunt work is fine. We all went to cowboy camp -- I didn't have to, I knew how to ride and I know how to shoot. But everybody learned how to do all this stuff." Foster says it was a childhood dream fulfilled to play "cowboys and outlaws," and the time at cowboy camp alone was an interesting experience that he won't soon forget. "The whole bit," he laughs. "It's horses and guns, man, so there wasn't a bad day on the set. I had never ridden a horse before, and that's the great thing about genre pictures. You have to learn the specific talent or skill. And knowing nothing about horses, you learn very quickly. One of the cool things is the stunt guys, who make up most of the outfit. They have their own rules, so if you lose a hat in a take, you have to buy drinks. If you lose a gun in a take, you have to buy drinks. So I bought a lot of drinks!" Both actors are fans of the genre

We've already heard that electricity
could cause all sorts of
fatal side effects, and it's all but conclusive that
stray WiFi can warp your brain, but how come magnetic signals are
helping people get their lives back together? If you haven't already guessed, here we have yet another alarmist story which claims that "electrical fields generated by everyday electrical equipment may cause an increased risk of respiratory
diseases and infection." The study, published by Imperial scientists, strongly suggests that these toxic fields (some created by computers, no less) can attract airborne particles thanks to stray electrostatic charges, and can then lead to excess amounts of potentially unwholesome deposits making their way into one's lungs. Of course, unless these masterminds wrote their research up via pencil and paper while dressed in ESD suits, we'd say they're just as exposed as the rest of us.
