What the Cell is Going On?
“Blu-ray. The Cell Processor. The RSX graphics chip. The PS3 was supposed to be the most insanely advanced gaming machine ever created. It was supposed to be able to deliver visuals well beyond anything capable on console or PC. According to Sony, the next generation wasn’t supposed to begin until PS3 arrived.
So why is it, then, that all these PS3 games look just the same as they do on the Xbox 360?”

Eagles’ McNabb should have eaten his chunky soup
Eagles’ McNabb Out Up to a Year!…Reportedly T.O. texted him (Good 4 U hehe :))
Donovan McNabb could miss as much as a year after having surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn knee ligament.

Renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews performed the reconstructive knee surgery in Birmingham, Ala. Head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said McNabb also needed expected repairs to his meniscus. He added there was a “good” chance McNabb will ready for Philadelphia’s season opener in 2007, which would be about nine months. - ABC News

Vander-Jerk Gets Kicked Out!
For the first time in team history, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones spent millions on a kicker. But that kicker did not make it through the season.
On Monday, the Cowboys cut Mike Vanderjagt, who in March signed a three-year, $5.5 million deal that included a $2.5 million signing bonus, and signed Martin Gramatica.
The most accurate kicker in NFL history, Vanderjagt made 13 of 18 field goal attempts in the first 11 games after missing just seven kicks in the previous three seasons with Indianapolis. - SI
“Heroes” Star: Former “Whiz Kid”
Masi Oka shot to fame playing Hiro Nakamura on the NBC hit “Heroes,” but the 31-year-old landed his first magazine cover when he was just 12.
Oka was on the cover of Time magazine in 1987 (he’s the one in blue on the left) with the banner, “Those Asian-American Whiz Kids.” He told Conan O’Brien that a parent of one of his childhood friends was the photographer, and “She was looking for smart Asian kids.” Oka wasn’t featured in the article, but he is something of a genius.
Masi worked for George Lucas’ special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, toiling on special effects for films like “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” “War of the Worlds” and the three “Star Wars” prequels. Oka says he still works for the company a couple of days a week. - TMZ
