Google Android delayed. Bill Gates getting ink everywhere. It’s ridiculous. The Mac finally gets hit with a couple of Trojan Horse programs. Welcome to the club boys! MPAA thinks evidence is over-rated. What? Toshiba uses Cell chip in a laptop. Prediction: dead-end. Chinese ripping off themselves. Chinese brand-name phones being copied by Chinese. One billion computers now in use.

Call of Duty is one of the most impressive gaming engines for shooter games that has come around in awhile and the a trailer for a new version of Call of Duty has been released.

The setting is very World War II, and the game in entitled world at war.  Personally, I am very excited to play a WWII setting in the COD environment.

Other rumors are indicating that Infinity Ward is in works with a “Science Fiction” game.  Is this a whole different game, or as some are speculating, a COD6 that will be set in the future.   Either way, that is another game that will be on the list for those of you out there looking to buy me presents.

I remember downloading the initial demo video of StarCraft II more then a year ago, and being blown off my chair at how awesome it looked … then anything StarCraft related seem to dissapear into the ether… it was sad.  When I saw that video I, of course, wanted to play the game immediately.

Finally, though, rumor and speculation, and this page at [ Best Buy ]  are telling us that StarCraft II will be available on 12/03/08 …

ROCK ON!

Blizzard is still denouncing any official release date rumors, and is telling everyone that “StarCraft will ship when it is done” ..

Hmm, the Worldwide Invitational is this weekend, and Best Buy is known for jumping the gun a bit, so I imagine they will officially release the date then
