Have you pre-ordered Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Features, Hot Deals, Software,
Apple‘s next major operating system release, Snow Leopard hits stores and doorsteps this Friday, August 28th. That’s at least 4 days earlier than even Apple estimated, as the expectation all along has been that Snow Leopard would see a September release. On Monday, the online Apple Store went down briefly, and when it came back up, Snow Leopard was center stage, announcing a delivery date of August 28th to customers who pre-order, so they’d get it the same day that it hit stores. If you haven’t yet, Amazon has got some nice discounts:
- Snow Leopard Upgrade: $24.99 (14% off)
- Snow Leopard 5-User Family Pack: $43.99 (10% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set: $149.99 (11% off)
- Snow Leopard Mac Box Set Family Pack: $199.99 (13% off)
So, how about you? Did you pre-order Snow Leopard? Are you excited about it? Is it no big deal? Let us know, we wanna hear you.

Poll: How is your Xbox 360 connected to your network?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, USB, Features, Internet, Video Games, Wireless / WiFi,
Time to bring back the Gear Live poll, because we’re wondering what method most Xbox 360 users are employing when they connect their consoles to their home networks. We’re talking about you. Did you spend the extra benjamin on one of the Wireless Networking Adapters? Do you run a long-ass cable from your router to the 360 to avoid latency (or cost of said adapter)? Something else?
Hit up the poll and let us know, and feel free to use the comments to give us a more thorough response!

Have a question about your career, girl/boyfriend, money matters, or perhaps something trivial? Dearinter.net claims to have the answer.

Mainstream Media Circles Wagons Around Obama
Posted by Sal Traina Categories: Elections, Media,
No matter who you’re voting for in this year’s election, you should be able to trust journalists, and the news they’re reporting to you. Almost 70 percent of people polled think the media is trying to help Barack Obama win. Here’s another example of media bias.
An AP report on AOL wrote Sarah Palin Says Obama Pals With Terrorist. The article goes on to say, Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Saturday accused Presidential candidate Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists” because of an old association with a former ‘60s radical, stepping up an effort to portray Barack Obama as unacceptable to American voters.

Poll: Do you have a surround sound system?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Home Entertainment,
Time for another one of our polls, this one being somewhat less polarizing than our last few. With things like next-generation game consoles, Blu-ray players, and the like, we are curious if you have a surround sound system that you use to get the most from your setup. Basically, we wanna know if you do, is it 5.1 or 7.1? Or do you keep it real with regular old stereo sound? Respond to the poll, but be sure to also hit us in the comments to share what kind of gear you’re using, okay?
Is the Industry Getting Sick of The Hills?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Editorial,
A recent poll offered up by PopEater poses a very interesting question…and raises a few more. Saying the site has “just about had it” with the “cheesiness” of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars of MTV’s The Hills, the site swears to stop covering the pair - if that’s what the public wants.

AOL recently polled over 1.3 million readers to find out what they love and hate most about reality television.
While most of the responses were entirely predictable (Best Villain: Simon Cowell), I must say there were a few winners I didn’t see coming. (Is host Samantha Harris really worse than Julie Chen?)
Here are just some of the top vote-getters in this year’s poll:
- Best Reality Show: American Idol (33%)
- Worst Reality Show: Flavor of Love 3 (34%)
- Best Villain: Simon Cowell (39%)
- Biggest Train Wreck: The Hogans (31%)

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Features, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video,
We already told you about our crazy iPhone 3G launch day purchase fiasco, but now we wanna hear from you guys. Was what we experienced accurate? Did you just end up flying through purchase and activation, with no problems at all? Or was your experience more like ours, where things seemed to go wrong at every turn? Let us know!
Poll: iPhone 3G - black or white?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Design, Features, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video,
So, now that we’ve cleared up the iPhone 3G price confusion (we think), we are curious what you guys will be picking up once the device is unleashed. Apple has moved away from the aluminum-looking backing, instead opting for a glossy black finish on the 8GB iPhone 3G. However, if you opt for the 16GB model, you get a choice between glossy black and glossy white. What say you?
