Transformers 2 Coming Soon!

Best.news.ever. The first was amazing, so hopefully the second will live up to it's predecessor.

The internet is alive with sequel news this afternoon. Top of the heap is Transformers, which even though it hasn’t yet been released is riding a wave of tremendous buzz and seems almost assured to make hundreds of millions of dollars when it opens in the middle of next week. It looks like Paramount isn’t waiting around to make sure it’s a hit, according to a story picked up from Entertainment Tonight, they’ve already greenlit Transformers 2.

It’s too early to have any idea what the movie will be about or whether any of the current cast and crew will be involved in it, but having seen the movie last night I can assure you that it lends itself pretty easily to a long and incredible fun series of giant freakin robot films. More importantly, it’s good enough that it’s bound to leave audiences wanting more of it. Unless the impossible happens and the movie somehow underperforms, sequels are a no brainer. Good move on Paramount’s part. Now they need to lock up Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf.
Vonage Sued By Sprint, $Million's Handed Over

In a surprising change of events, Sprint has sued the VoIP giant, Vonage $69.5 Million USD. The reason is that in 2005, Sprint sued Vonage for allegedly infringing seven patents from Sprint that dealt with connecting Internet phone calls. Vonage denied the claims and argued that Sprint's patents shouldn't have been approved in the first place. However, after the verdict recently released, Vonage will appeal the verdict and will try to develop workarounds that don't infringe on Sprint's patents.

This is the 2nd time Vonage has been sued because of patents. Verison has also sued them $85 million, and 5.5% of whatever revenue they earn whilst infringing patents.

ccording to the company, the decision to come up with the PSP-friendly version was because of the steady rise of chatters who access the service through the Sony handheld. The current release is still in beta build but even so, a handful of features have already been incorporated to it.

MMO's ban Men playing as Women

via /.

"In a bizarre move Aurora Technology the owners of the King of the World MMORPG has taken the unusual step of banning men who play women characters but the ban itself does not stretch to women playing men. If you want to play as a woman now in game you have to prove you are a women via web cam. This is something that people ask for in many mmorpgs I myself have seen people say people who play women in EVE online as being some kind of degenerate but how long can a policy of verification by web cam last since its so easy to get around it doesn't seem to solve much and is an insult to many."
...Really?
