If you’ve ever tried to find your favorite movie scenes on YouTube or other video networks, you’ve probably noticed it’s not always the easiest thing to find the direct quotes you’re looking for.

Ah, the video game cutscene. It’s kind of a hot topic among hardcore gamers. ”Why are the cutscenes so long?” “I can’t skip this crap? Are you kidding me?!” “What is this, a movie?” The list of gripes can go on and on, but whether you love or hate them, most games these days will feature [...]

A free downloadable application that suspiciously looks like an iPhone lying on its flank”¦that’s Dizzler. But the resemblance ends there because Dizzler is not a communication tool and the look is just the starting skin. It’s a desktop entertainment device. Or more simply let’s call it a media player. Just like the flavors of music, [...]
