Engadget is at CES, reporting on all the exciting new tech gadgets. They played with the jetBook, Ectaco’s new color e-reader. It’s not just a color e-reader, it’s a color e-reader with a Triton Color E Ink display, a first in the crowded e-reader market.
Already on the market in Eastern Europe and Asia (the product is marketed with an educational slant on Ectaco’s site), jetBook will soon be available globally. As Engadget notes, the colors are a bit muted, but this is still an exciting step forward in E Ink technology. As more and more tablets (with backlit displays) vie for consumers’ money, E Ink-based readers must continue to evolve to stay competitive. Check out Engadget’s hands-on post to see more pics and watch a video.
Capital New York is reporting that film critic J. Hoberman was let go from The Village Voice, where he has been a staff writer for nearly three decades and senior film critic since 1988. The news isn’t terribly surprising–several longtime staffers have parted ways with the paper in recent years, but it’s certainly a blow to the Voice’s already deteriorated reputation and another example of the changing (crumbling?) nature of both journalism in general and specifically film criticism, which has had something of an identity crisis.

Movieline has the poster for Ridley Scott’s upcoming (not-a-prequel-to-Alien-except-kind-of-is) film, Prometheus. The artwork is quite striking, but as Louis Virtel is quick to point out, the tagline kind of sucks. Join me after the jump. Continue reading
What’s not to love about an athlete’s body? It’s the tool he needs to do his job so he takes great care of his tool. Yes, I said it. At the very least, we can admire and appreciate athletes’ bodies for the living machines they are. Let’s get real though: we’re not just appreciating the functionality of a well toned physique; we’re lusting after hot pieces of man meat. Soccer may have some great legs; swimming may have some amazing torsos; football may… well let’s face it, they wear so much padding you can’t see their bodies anyway (ditto for hockey). If you want to see some great asses though, you’re going to have to turn on baseball. Continue reading

Oh hey, Chicagoans. How’s it going? Did you know that your sexy mayor plans to slash your public library’s budget, with plans to lay off about a third of your city’s librarians and paraprofessional library staff and reduce hours at most of the library’s 78 locations by eight hours a week? Yeah, that’s part of his plan to close Chicago’s $646 million budget deficit.
