In movie form!
It's the Monday before Thanksgiving, which means everyone has the same things on their minds: the short work week, holiday traveling, family reunions, turkey with stuffing and, naturally, the TomKat wedding in Rome. But before we head our separate ways for a little football, candied yams and annual board-game contests with our extended clans, here are the results of the weekly box office predictions.
Patricia picked the following movies would take the top
five:And she was soooo close, except the No. 1 and 2 spots ended up reversed:
The rest of the top five is exactly the same as the past two weeks' No. 1-3: 'Borat' has now made $90.5 million and looks likely to break the $100 million milestone over the holiday weekend. The head-to-head kiddie flicks 'Santa Clause 3' and 'Flushed Away' have had to split the family audience and settle for more or less $50 million each, while 'Happy Feet' nearly grossed that much just this weekend. My guess is 'Happy Feet' will continue its march of the profitable penguins next weekend, despite competition from 'Deck the Halls' and 'Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.' Good luck with your picks this week, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Fury; noun (pl. -ries); wild or violent anger, a surge of violent anger or other feeling; violence or energy displayed in natural phenomena or in someone's actions.
Okay, we all knew that one. However, anyone without a decent Classics education might have missed this one... Fury; noun (pl. -ries); In Greek Mythology, a spirit of punishment, often represented as one of three goddesses who executed the curses pronounced upon criminals, tortured the guilty with stings of conscience, and inflicted famines and pestilences. After playing Fury for a week, the first definition did nothing for Eurogamer, really. Maybe on the second or third day, when Eurogamer numbly contemplated throwing the damned PC out the window, or snapping the keyboard over their knee, they would have felt some sympathy for that first definition. But after a week, it's definition number two all the day.

Destructoid: "Now, when I saw the news that Shigeru celebrated his birthday today (or yesterday technically in Japan time), it reminded me of a speech I had written about him for my speech class in 2003, my senior year of high school. I went and dug it up and figured I would share it all with you to my embarrassment. Before you read the speech, understand that I had to write this in the tone that my audience had no idea what a videogame was and that this speech was supposed to be written in the style that I was introducing him for an audience. Check it out after the jump.
How many of you enjoy playing a videogame on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube? Especially the games that allow you to explore every inch of your surrounding. Where you may find a secret that unlocks a new area or gives you a powerful item to aid you in your quest to save the princess or take over the world. Well there is one man who made this all possible -- Shigeru Miyamoto. Without Shigeru Miyamoto, games wouldn't be even close to what they are today. We probably would be playing Pong 2004 -- NOW IN 3D right now".

An anonymous reader writes ""The CSIRO has won a landmark US legal battle against Buffalo Technology, under which it could receive royalties from every producer of wireless local area network (WLAN) products worldwide." From the article: "The patent, granted to CSIRO in 1996, encompasses elements of the 802.11a/g wireless technology that is now an industry standard. It stems from a system developed by CSIRO in the early '90s, 'to exchange large amounts of information wirelessly at high speed, within environments such as offices and homes', said a CSIRO spokeswoman."
Let's paint the picture of why this invention is so monumental. You're sitting there, on the boat, preparing to fillet some freshly caught trout. Even though your generic knife is just resting on a table unprovoked, it flips into your eye where it gouges away like a spoon on a grape. The sensation hurts, but you retain 30% vision in that eye after minor surgery. Now let's paint the same picture with the Ginsu. You're sitting there, on the boat, preparing to fillet some freshly caught trout. Even though your 12V Still want that generic knife? Yeah, that's what we thought.

The writer's strike hits again. We were supposed to get five more episodes before this season's fall finale. Instead we got a plain ol' ending comparable to any regular episode of Prison Break. Certainly not what I would have expected based on this show's history. It's not a bad thing, just disappointing. I understand the need to stockpile and space out the dwindling supply of new episodes, but it's unfortunate that it results in segmenting seasons in such sloppy fashion. Enough with the complaining though. The writer's strike is happening and we knew what to expect. If you can look beyond that, this episode really was quite good. It left us with plenty of questions to ponder as we wait for Prison Break to return in January. Continue reading Prison Break: Bang and Burn (mid-season finale)
