  • BlackBerry Tablet OS with support for symmetric multiprocessing
  • 1 GHz dual-core processor
  • 1 GB RAM
  • Dual HD cameras (3 MP front facing, 5 MP rear facing), supports 1080p HD video recording

Planet of the Apes (The T.V. series) (1974)

 

Not a bad series at all. Too bad it did not get a chance at improving with a second season. Roddy McDowall (Galen) and Mark Lenard (General Urko) are truly excellent as the Apes leads of the show. The two human astronauts are a bit bland, but not horrible. James Naughton is the better actor and personality of the two.

  Conan the Barbarian (1981)
I found out something new about the production of the film after watching the special features. Ridley Scott had workd on the film during the pre-production stage.
When I first saw "Gladiator", I could not help but see a number of similarities between the two films.  Now I can see why.

I'm starting Star Trek Online. Anyone play this?

Hmmm, I heard it's already dead.
Oh its not dead. Not yet.

Though I'm sure it will be soon, unfortunately. Never played it, don't have the time to devote to MMOs.

 

Well I'm glad I asked you guys before I dumped more of my money into Trek.  I had gotten the game when it first came out, but never installed it due to lack of time.  Now that I have some time to play, I was going to give it a shot. But if it's a wasteland of inactivity, I'll pass.

Age of Conan looks like it gets some good reviews. I always liked him more then Leno, and if there is a good player base...

Anyone know if Lord of the Rings Online is any good?

HI,

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good portable media player with a reliable long lasting battery?  I was on an Alaska Airlines flight the other day, and rented their DigEplayer.  I was most impressed with the quality of the picture, the features, and most of all the long lasting power supply.  Saw two full length films and the battery was still kicking. These players are not for sale to the public, so I am looking for something close to it. A few years ago I got a COBY portable DVD player (Model TF-DVD8500) and the battery on the unit died (Stopped holding a charge) only after 15 months. COBY does not sell a replacement battery for the unit, so I am kind of pissed off about that. Any thoughts on a player with good viewing size and lasting power? I would think a high capacity SDcard of 8GB or more would also be useful.
