Buffy's coming! No, not that one. According to the New York Times, Facebook employees have informed them that the firm plans to launch their own Facebook-branded smartphone in collaboration with HTC, a number of old Apple guys who worked on the iPhone/Pad.

For those of you who have preordered Diablo III and are holding the copy in your fists clenched tightly, you will be glad to know that the servers go up in five and a half hours! You most likely can't wait, because neither can I.

I, Jason, will be playing the game and will hopefully be trying to stay alive in the slew of demons that are sure to besiege my character.

What fresh horrors await us in New Tristram?
Will we visit the Upper Levels of Hell once more?
Is Diablo truly dead?


Get ready, Heroes of Sanctuary...

  If you love Aqua Blue as a colour or have OCD, then you'd better get to the shops quickly, as whilst there isn't any word for discontinuing the colour in the EMEA and NA regions yet. For those with fetishes concerning the colour blue, don't worry- the sexy Cobalt Blue 3DS will still be in production!

Microsoft have just announced that its upcoming Windows OS, Windows 8, will not play DVDs out-of-the-box, citing that only 6% of Windows 7 users ever used Windows Media Center, its media centre hub.
  It claims that the removal of DVD playback will ensure that it (Microsoft) will not have to spend 'a significant amount in royalties', i.e decoder licensing.

Microsoft cite the 'ever-changing landscape' of computing as a reason to canning DVD support, with Windows 8 having compatibility with tablets and ultrabooks, which themselves lack optical drives. Media Center and DVD support will be available for a fee via Windows Control Panel (Formerly Anytime Upgrade) in Windows 8, but I think the choice of omitting such ubiquitous technology is a good idea- if DVDs are going the way of the dodo, then I'll be happy to pay a tenner less for some quality software.
