Nitpicks & Rumors - January

Nitpicks
Pick: Cell Phone Bicycle Charger
If you ride your bike charge your phone at the same time with this cell phone docking station from Motorola.
Gripe: Chidi Ogbuta Wedding Cake
Yikes, this lady wanted a life sized cake of herself, and got it. Ok...
Pick: USB 3.0
Interesting, backward compatible, with speeds of 4.8 Gbit/s (600 MB/s), and a powering system that powers down when you're not using the device...Gripe: will be available in 2010.
Gripe: Spider-Man Gets a Divorce
I understand that they want that tension of relationship in the stories...but come on. Sigh, well I gave up on comics when they killed them all off and started over.
Rumor

The film will be in 3-D. The movie will stand alone compared to the others and the script is by Eric Bress, who co-wrote FD2.

In the fall, Fox will have a weekday board game Trivial Pursuit show.
Morgan Spurlock & Fox
Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me, 30 Days) has signed a two year deal with Fox.

Seriously, it is coming soon.
Books
How to Fossilize Your Hamster - Mick O'Hare
Seems like it could be interesting.
Music
Offspring
Eighth Studio album out this year.
Games
Burnout Paradise
Now this kinda thing makes me consider a PS3, check out the cars, however upon playing it - its not so good as a one-player game.
