18 hours. EIGHTEEN HOURS.
Newly released today: In 2013 the world was devastated by an apocalyptic event, annihilating almost all mankind and turning the earth’s surface into a poisonous wasteland.
Many are still on waiting lists at the various IMAX and 3D-capable cinemas across the country, but already Avatar’s been given a release date for the UK Blu-ray and DVD release—April 26th. The 3D Blu-ray release was originally slated for November, but it sounds as though that’s fallen through

Curse the fact (again) I don’t live in Japan! Akihabara News has greased their mitts all over Hanwa’s dongle , which upgrades the audio on your laptop to that of DTS surround sound sensation. After admitting they were—understandably—skeptical about what the dongle would do to a laptop’s audio, the Windows-only peripheral comes with DTS headphones, an installation CD and detachable USB port.

For whatever reason, Maingear decided that they should stick a full numeric keypad onto a 15-inch laptop. And using whatever magic, they managed to pull it off without creating a monster. I’ve got a 12-inch, a 15-inch, and a 17-inch laptop within an arms reach, yet none of them—not even the 17-incher—have a full number pad

Lenovo introduced a few new computers today, most interesting among them (visually, at least) being the B500 all-in-one with a crazy angular design. But they’ve also got their first
