You must have heard all the hype about Hulu by now.  How it gives you the ability to watch your favorite shows online, any time you want.  How it’s easy to use, and so convenient.  How it is—(drum roll here)—FREE. Granted, there are several different places you can go to watch different television shows, but, I’ve found that for reliability, Hulu is really way up there.  Now, I know my title said TEN reasons, but, I couldn’t knock it down to just ten.  So I’m going with eleven reasons to Hulu.  I know, what a rebel.

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 14th 2008 at 10:36PM It’s beginning to sound like a broken record, but WowWee has hit yet another homer with Mr. Personality. The latest from the firm to jockey for your hard earned dollars includes an LCD face and enough jokes / stories to keep you engrossed for hours. Max and Simon — this creature’s very own Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde — kept critics guessing, and each character was said to be “well developed and play off each other perfectly.” Continuing on, reviewers noted that the omnidirectional wheels were “incredible,” the remote was “simple and intuitive” and the sensor array was equally impressive. ‘Tis a shame — we bet you were really looking forward to holding onto that $300 of yours…Read (Read the full post about ‘WowWee’s Mr. Personality reviewed, found to like long walks on the beach’…)

Just under a year ago, the software enabled robot lovers everywhere to control their i-SOBOT with an everyday Wiimote. Now, the same ability has been handed down for WowWee’s Rovio. You heard right, the latest, baddest robotic sentry on the block can now be dictated with your Nintendo Wii controller, and you can even customize your own own button assignments to suit your fancy.

by Nilay Patel, posted Oct 14th 2008 at 7:09PM We just spent some quality time with the dual-graphics VAIO Z, so when we heard that the new MacBook Pros had a similar two-chip layout, we assumed switching from the integrated NVIDIA 9400M to the discrete 9600M GT would be just as easy — it’s just a switch on the Sony that can be flipped anytime. Too bad that’s not the case: according to a recently-posted Apple support document, switching graphics modes requires a trip to System Preferences and then a logout. Sure, it’s slightly better than a total restart, but it’s still a huge pain in the ass, and one we just don’t understand — if Sony can get Vista to handle it without issue, Apple should be able to get their own OS to deal.
