… cellphone coming in early December on Japan’s AU network! Damn, look at it! It’s got a rocket launcher attached to it! Uh, OK, that was a bit of an exaggeration - how about a laser beam thingy? Either way, this looks just like something James Bond would use! I want this phone!

This shot of Venom is from the exclusive trailer which was shown 4 months ago exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con. The trailer contains a lot of unfinished CG scenes where everything, from Spidey to the city scape, were all raw shaded polygons. Although this trailer made the rounds on the net shortly after the Comic-Con event, the quality was rather bad as the footage was filmed on a cellphone. It was so blurry, you basically see nothing!

Well, months later, with many fans complaining that the Venom didn’t make an appearance in the newly released trailer, somebody, somewhere decided to leak a good copy of this Comic-Con trailer in the last few days. Apparently, it had appeared on YouTube but was pulled off at the request of Sony about 5 hours after it appeared (don’t quote me on it, though).

But anyway, as we all know how great the internet is, I managed to see a QuickTime version of it just before. How is it? Well, I personally think this trailer should have been the one that was released last week (amid with the finished CG)!

I’m pretty stressed right now, no words can describe my feelings. I decided to go to my fav place today, Odaiba, so I can sit on the artificial beach and let the breeze clear my head then walk around and take some pics. But shortly after I got there, I lost the mood so I headed home instead…

Yep, the mutha of all consoles was finally launched today and a few friends, Danny, Roy and Brad, have got themselves one and they seem more than happy with their new purchase. Congrats on that!

Although I had stated my reasons for not wanting one, I did have this bad impulsive urge to get one after I spoke to Roy. I spoke to Roy at 3am this morning while he was lining up and he told me, “there’s probably 400 people lining up now. The shop staff said they have more enough units for everyone here. You know, if you come down now, you can get one”. Damn, can you imagine what was going through my head after I heard that? Yes, I really wanted to get my butt into a taxi and burn down there to join him in the queue for a brand-spanking new PS3! But I couldn’t because I had a deadline (for something I’m working on) for 5am EST time which happens to be 7am here - the time the PS3 starts rolling into the hands of consumers. I spoke to Roy again at about 6am and he told me it got rather chaotic with over a thousand people pushing and shoving - something I can’t deal with!

Anyway, so yeah, because of my deadline, I couldn’t go get a PS3. So, is that lucky or unlucky?

I knew from a while back that the new Spider-Man 3 trailer would be attached to the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, which debuts next week in US, but to my surprise, Sony decided to release the Spidey trailer today exclusively to some TV networks in US. Well, thank god for the internet, I just got to see it!

Well, despite all the hype, it turns out to be… something that didn’t make me wet my pants. Maybe it’s because I expected to see some kick-butt Venom action in this trailer (just like a lot of people). Sadly, you don’t get that. Instead you get to see a lot of Sandman, Peter Parker in the Black Spidey suit, and Mary Jane. Also, a lot of the plot is revealed.

Following in the foot steps of it’s elder sibling, the consumer MacBook has now also made the jump to the Core 2 Duo CPUs from Intel.

Sometimes, I really wonder if I need a Pro model. No doubt, the MacBook Pros look better with the aluminum casing, more screen estate and better graphics card but since I design more websites than heavy-duty-printed-materials these days, maybe I don’t need the MacBook Pro for it’s better graphics capabilities. Screen estate, that is something a designer can never get enough of anyway therefore I will have to get an additional 23″ Cinema Display for hooking up to the laptop.

I also happen to be one of those idiots who are always lusting over new updated versions of everything. By getting a MacBook, I won’t need to fork out as much money as I would need for a MacBook Pro (literally double price) and when the time comes for me to sell it off, I won’t loose as much from the re-sale either.

Hmmmmm… definitely worth thinking about…

Just as I said before, I bought both melody.’s “Lovin’ U CD single” and “Be as one TOUR 2006 Live DVD” on release day, today! I’ll repeat: damn, she’s so my type…

Apparently, photos of a new Nikon D-SLR have been leaked by some German reseller over the last couple of days and the net is raving and debating as to whether this a real deal. To be honest, with all the photos available, I suspect it’s gotta be real. I mean, even if you were a good photoshop-per and had masses amount of time on your hands, would you really bother to photoshop four (or more) images of a camera? I know I wouldn’t…

The badge on the camera in the images clearly says D40, the whole body is more round than any other D-SLR Nikon has ever produced, and the top LCD status panel is missing. Hmmmmm… I’m kinda wondering, does Nikon really need this model? I mean, right now, the D50 is Nikon’s entry level D-SLR and for its low price, it is one darn good camera. So, where would this D40 fit in and at what price point? I really think it’s kinda silly to strip more features off the D50 just so they can throw a ¥40,000 (just my guess) D-SLR onto the market under the D40 branding (obviously, features will definitely have be less than the D50 to justify the price difference between these 2 models). In that case, is it still worthy of being a D-SLR? Oh well, we’ll find out what’s with this model in due time…
