Apple has just released (on their trailer web­site) the second WALL•E trailer. This trailer reveals more detail on the movie and Luxo + WALL•E are also part of this one. I think we have an other winner on our hand…

For all ya gadget lovers out there, Dane Elec announced the future avail­abil­ity of a pencil allow­ing record­ing your text as you write it.
The system is based on 2 com­po­nents: a pencil and a small USB key (on the top) which fea­ture micro­phone and elec­tron­ics able to local­ize pencil’s posi­tions and move­ments. Vector-​based infor­ma­tion are then recorded on the 1GB NAND memory included, you will then simply trans­fer the writ­ten text to a com­puter thanks to a ded­i­cated appli­ca­tion (Mac OS X ver­sion avail­able).
The ZPen should be avail­able for Q1 2008 and its price is announced around €129.

Apple has released a very funny X-Macs spe­cial for those who’ve missed it.

A friend at work said I should watch this TV serie called Dexter. My first reac­tion was Dexter’s Lab­o­ra­tory? Dexter is an Amer­i­can tele­vi­sion drama series based on the novel Darkly Dream­ing Dexter by Jeff Lind­say and adapted for tele­vi­sion by Emmy Award-​winning screen­writer James Manos, Jr. The show pre­miered on Octo­ber 1, 2006 and has since enjoyed wide crit­i­cal acclaim. Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) plays the char­ac­ter of Dexter Morgan, a Miami-​based serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Depart­ment as a blood spat­ter ana­lyst. Inter­est­ing twist ay

I don’t watch TV reg­u­larly but he pointed me to some good stuff (thanks Rodi): like Cal­i­for­ni­ca­tion with David Duchovny (X-Files), who plays Hank Moody, a trou­bled nov­el­ist whose move to Los Ange­les and has prob­lems with his job and a com­pli­cated rela­tion­ship with his ex-​girlfriend Karen (Natascha McEl­hone) and daugh­ter Becca (Madeleine Martin). I love these series so much, I watch almost every day an episode on my iPod Touch.

I am the lucky owner of an iPod touch. I’ve bought the device for mobile enter­tain­ment (music & video). Apple deliv­ers a very crappy user expe­ri­ence with their Quick­Time Trail­ers site: I can’t play their default trail­ers, I am being for­warded to their ’special’ iPhone sec­tion, where I get the ultimate-​postage-​stamp-​sized-​crappy-​compressed trailer there is avail­able. Maybe it’s one-​size-​fits-​all con­cept isn’t bad for the “iPod fatty” user, but the qual­ity on my iPod is shame­ful! What hap­pened to all those lovely pixels? Let me decide if I want to down­load the 640×336 ver­sion or the 320×172 ver­sion. I can do it on my desk­top, so why not on my iPod? Okay, 320×172 is small, but that doesn’t mean that the qual­ity has to be so crappy!
So think you can do better huh…! Well yeah! I haven’t got the RAW-​DV footage but I’ve taken the 480p ver­sion to show my point. Even the recom­pressed mate­r­ial is better then theirs. Here’s are the two files for com­par­i­son: the orig­i­nal Clover­field Trailer (320) versus the recom­pressed Clover­field Trailer (640). Just put them on your iPod for com­par­is­ment.

The year is 2700. WALL•E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will dis­cover what he was meant for.

It will be released in the summer of 2008 and to be even more pre­cise 27 june, as you can see on the above poster. If you can’t wait until it’s release date here’s the Trailer.
On the Inter­net Movie Data­base (IMDB) I’ve dis­cov­ered a very nice detail watch Luxo (the lamp) care­fully. I think WALL•E is a must see!
