Money Mayweather Wants Money For Fake Web Pressence Print E-mail
Tek Swank Investigates
Wednesday, 21 May 2008

You may be familiar with our 4,387 part series, "Celeb Web Pressence" where we navigate the Internets and provide commentary to the .com of our favorite famous people. Today's story, however, is not apart of that series because the web destination floydmayweather.net is not owned by the boxer turned dancer.

Tek Swank Investigates
Wednesday, 14 May 2008

Today the city of Brotherly Love decided to not move forward with their big idea to provide the entire city with free Wi-Fi. Apparently they were too busy eating cheesesteak sandwiches and booing at the Phillies to realize that the project was going to cost more money than they could budget for.

HBO gets iTuned Print E-mail

Tuesday, 13 May 2008

Watching TV when it is actually on is soooo 2003. Thanks to technology like TiVo, your crappy cable box DVR, iTunes and illegal downloading you can watch whatever you want whenever you want, sort of. I say sort of because some of the shows I enjoy watching weren't all that easy to find on the Internets.

Thursday, 08 May 2008

Sure the handheld music device made by Microsoft isn't as popular as the iPod, but does being one of the 15 people who owns a Zune make you crazy? Everyone's favorite fake news talking head, Stephen Colbert seems to think so. Two nights ago on the Colbert Report, the host was requesting that President George W. Bush begin acting crazy so that Republic nomination, John McCain could seperate himself from the president easier.

Jonas Brothers to go 3-D Print E-mail
Tek Swank Investigates
Thursday, 08 May 2008

I can sleep easier that I know a movie starring the Jonas Brothers is coming our way. It's not just a movie, it's a 3-D movie. When the technology of 3-D cinema was invented by some dude who makes a whole lot more money than I do, this is exactly what he had in mind. Horrible singers singing horrible songs in front of people who would die to get a chance to see these kids in person but can't afford concert tickets.

Monday, 05 May 2008

Ever look at George Hamilton or any of those annoying chicks on Sunset Tan and think, why can't my dog or cat look that sexy? And by "sexy" I mean orange. If you have...not only is there something very wrong with you but there's also a new gadget out there that will let you chase that messed up dream of owning a pet that has taken in a few too many fake rays.

R&B singer/actress starring in really bad long form commercial Alicia Keys is a MySpace user too. While the painfully untalented Tila Tequila has used the social network to help her contribute to the death of humanity, Keys is using MySpace to find talent.

Damon Doesn't Do Video Games Print E-mail
Tek Swank Investigates
Thursday, 01 May 2008

The Bourne Conspiracy, a video game about the trilogy of Bourne movies, is headed its way to video game stores everywhere. It's going to be just like the movies, all the amnesia and guns and shooting of the three action-packed blockbusters - except for one minor thing. That small, tiny little detail that most gamers probably won't even notice is that the guy who played Jason Bourne, a little known actor named Matt Damon isn't in the game.

Release of GTA IV will Hurt Box Office Numbers for IRONMAN Print E-mail
Tek Swank Investigates
Tuesday, 29 April 2008

The experts think gamers won't leave their house when a new game comes their way. Because of this, the experts think that today's release of Grand Theft Auto IV, will impact the box office numbers for the first big movie of the summer - IRONMAN. This hypothesis doesn't come from having spent any time with that strange breed known as gamers, it however comes from the box office results the weekend following the release of Halo 3...

Tek Swank Investigates
Monday, 28 April 2008

Since video games are one of the few pieces of media left that actually make a buck or two and 50 Cent will get involved in pretty much anything that will make him richer, the rapper is looking forward to once again taking the money of gamers around the world with the release of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand. Unlike his first venture into the interactive entertainment world, 50 Cent Bulletproof, Blood on the Sand may actually be a game worth buying. MTV.com today gives us the scoop on the game...

Monday, 21 April 2008

Tech blog, Switched has access to the stars too (take that sister blog TMZ!) and by stars we mean singers who used to be really famous until they got married to someone even more famous and haven't really done much since. Today, Switched posted an interview with Mr. Gwen Stefani to talk about gadgets. After reading the interview, we've learned two things about the former Bush frontman: He really really likes his Blackberry Curve and he is a way laid back Dad (see: kid threw away iPhone and is still alive)

Thursday, 10 April 2008

Besides recording all 25 episodes every single Saturday of my favorite show, Intervention (what can I say, I like seeing adicts being surprised!), TiVo has some other super powers you may not have been aware of until today. It seems as though the popular DVR can also predict the future. Well, the future of American Idol.

Wednesday, 09 April 2008

Back in June, Kyle Spratt, an 18 year-old aspiring rapper who was looking for more out of life than just a job in a bingo hall (how much money could you possibly get for yelling B6 all day?) jacked the phone of Kim Mathers in order to get her husband, Eminem to listen to his demo. Today, it is being reported that the cell phone bandit was recently sentenced to one year of probation and a $230 fine. Looks like Spratt is going to need to put in some overtime at the Bingo hall...
