			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I stumbled upon a new Firefox extension that has been a LONG time coming.  It&#8217;s a little feature that will let you login to just about all your Gmail accounts at once in different windows!  I use Gmail as reference here because who really has multiple Yahoo or Hotmail accounts anymore?<a href="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/multifox-logo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1163 alignright" title="multifox-logo" src="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/multifox-logo-300x65.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="65" /></a></p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t just handy to Gmail, but for those sneaky prowlers out there with multiple Facebook or Twitter, or even dare I say Myspace accounts.  Really ANYTHING that would require you to close your browser and start a new session to login.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I used to get along ok by opening a 2nd browser such as Chrome, but this makes it much much easier and a second window opens a heck of a lot faster than a new browser.  Once the extension is installed you just need to right-click on any link and choose &#8220;Open in a new Identity Profile&#8221;.<a href="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/menu-bookmarks-en.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1162 aligncenter" title="menu-bookmarks-en" src="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/menu-bookmarks-en-300x203.png" alt="" width="300" height="203" /></a></p>
<p>Presto, what looks like an ordinary new window is actually a whole new profile.  Now you can log into the same website you were just on, using a different name without closing your original session!  You can even keep track of which window is which by the profile number thrown onto the end of the address bar on the right&#8230;<a href="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/profile-popup-en.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1164 aligncenter" title="profile-popup-en" src="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/profile-popup-en-300x180.png" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></a>So check this out if your tired of having to log out and back into the same client using different names.  This is also handy if you have a cousin over visiting and he wants to jump onto your computer and check his Facebook real quick.</p>
<p>So go install Multifox in your Firefox browser now and let us know what you think or if you have any other good uses for it!  [<a href="http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/" target="_blank">GO-&gt;</a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the holidays right around the corner the gaming industry is a buzz.  I figured rather than do a bunch of separate posts why not just consolidate into one or two.  So without further adieu&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #339966;"><strong>Halo: Waypoint</strong></span></p>
<p>First up, for<span style="color: #339966;"><strong> <span style="color: #888888;">X-Box 360</span></strong></span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span>fans, you&#8217;ll find the new <a href="http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/halowaypoint" target="_blank">Waypoint</a> tracking system for the Halo franchise.  Basically it&#8217;s an app that you&#8217;ll load into your 360 Dashboard that will be your operations center for just about any thing you can think of dealing with Halo.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>343 Industries&#8217; Frank O&#8217;Connor:</strong> <em>Waypoint will offer Halo enthusiasts access to audio and video content in addition to community features and the option to follow your &#8220;</em><em>Halo career.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I think this video best explains it though&#8230;.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PmD7OrmeznY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PmD7OrmeznY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Look for it to hit the Dashboard on November 5th!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Bioshock 2</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><span style="color: #333333;">2K Games released this new trailer for the next version of it&#8217;s &#8220;little sister&#8221; saving (or slaying) Bioshock! </span><br />
</span></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sA_iUrNK21k&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sA_iUrNK21k&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Bioshock 2 isn&#8217;t due to hit the streets until <em><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>2-9-2010</strong></span> </em>on the <span style="color: #333333;"><strong><span style="color: #888888;">X-Box 360 / PC / PS3</span> </strong></span>but <strong>Joystiq</strong> got an early preview of it.  Here&#8217;s their  full review <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/10/29/hands-on-bioshock-2/" target="_blank">[GO--&gt;]</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Army of Two: &#8216;The 40th Day&#8217; commercial</strong></span></p>
<p>Ok if you played Army of Two before you know this game is a dude game all the way.  Of course chicks can jump on and play and have fun, but from a design stand point it&#8217;s meant to bring out the fun loving neanderthal in all of us.  If you don&#8217;t get what I&#8217;m throw&#8217;n down, just watch this new commercial for Army of Two &#8216;The 40th Day&#8217;&#8230;.</p>
<p><object id="gb_player" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="315" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="align" value="middle" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="flashvars" value="paramsURI=http%3A//www.giantbomb.com/video/params/1564/?w=1" /><param name="videoURI" value="http://media.giantbomb.com/video/tr_ao2halloween_102909.flv" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><param name="src" value="http://www.giantbomb.com/video/video.swf" /><param name="name" value="gb_player" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed id="gb_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.giantbomb.com/video/video.swf" name="gb_player" bgcolor="#000000" videouri="http://media.giantbomb.com/video/tr_ao2halloween_102909.flv" flashvars="paramsURI=http%3A//www.giantbomb.com/video/params/1564/?w=1" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" align="middle"></embed></object></p>
<p>The first installment of this game got high praise for it&#8217;s co-op mode.  Sit down on the couch with a good friend, pop some beer&#8230;.SODA, and shoot the crap outta stuff!</p>
<p>Army of Two: The 40th Day will be out <strong><span style="color: #993300;"><em>1-12-2010</em></span></strong>!  Check out the official page <a href="http://www.armyoftwo.com/us/home" target="_blank">[GO--&gt;]</a></p>

<p>Here&#8217;s the quick back story as found on the official youtube page and then video follows&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p><span>TAMPA, FLA., Reko Rivera (Left) John Savio (Right) &#8212; World&#8217;s first &#8220;working&#8221; iPhone costume created by Reko Rivera and John Savio. Specifications are 42&#8243; Display, 1.5 Hours of Battery Life, 85 lb and the &#8220;real&#8221; iPhone can charge connected to the USB on the display. The two costumes have 3 batteries each with a total runtime of 4.5 hours before needing to be charged overnight. Please email us if you need any more information about the costume.</span></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well we here at Bottlenex haven&#8217;t quite reached the pinnacle of being able to do full on game reviews, but our friends over at GiantBomb.com sure have.  They&#8217;ve put together this well done video review of the new game Brutal Legend starring the voice of Jack Black.  I won&#8217;t spoil anything&#8230;.just take a look and let us know in the comments what you think about this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Verizon launched a new commercial this weekend in probably the most aggressive phone ad I&#8217;ve ever seen come from them.  The ad itself bares no real fruit but if you&#8217;ve been following the gadget world the last few months you&#8217;ll totally know what we&#8217;re talking about.  First take a look at the TV ad which was even shown during the World Series Playoffs this weekend!</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dPYM-XTqcec&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dPYM-XTqcec&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Now, let it be known that I laugh at the people who are putting words in Verizon&#8217;s mouth and using the term &#8220;<strong>iPhone killer</strong>&#8220;.  Even Verizon laughs at you for muttering those words.  Neither Verizon, Google, or Motorola are calling this an &#8220;iPhone killer&#8221;.  Seriously people, come on.  This is just Verizon&#8217;s best attempt at giving their customers an alternative to an iPhone.  Simply enough it&#8217;s an &#8220;iPhone alternative&#8221;.  Period.</p>
<p>Those of us who flat out refused to give into the [horrible] AT&amp;T [yes still biased!] and take the iPhone bait have waited around very patiently for something worthy.  And those of us who are fully entrenched in the Google world have been waiting around even longer it seems!  Watching T-Mobile get Android phone after Android phone has been&#8230;annoying at best.</p>
<p>The guys over at Boy Genious Report are the phone ninja&#8217;s who have had the inside connection on this project since day one.  And even though Verizon hasn&#8217;t released any info on the Droid, they sure have!  Here&#8217;s some pics of the proposed, though NOT official yet, Verizon Droid (aka Sholes, aka Tao).</p>

<p>This Tauntaun sleeping bag was originally posted up on <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/plush/bb2e/" target="_blank">Thinkgeek.com</a> as one of their annual April Fools Day jokes.  It turned out to be such a cool idea that the demand grew and they went for it!  So they now have it in full production!  This is only for kids, but I&#8217;m thinking about just getting two.  One for each leg.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/g-verizon-heart-e.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-976" title="g-verizon-heart-e" src="http://bottlenex.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/g-verizon-heart-e.jpg" alt="g-verizon-heart-e" width="500" height="423" /></a></p>
<p>Well the wait is finally over.  For me in particular.  Ever since Apple stabbed me in the back and went exclusive to AT&amp;T I&#8217;ve waited for this day.  For I was NEVER going back to AT&amp;T and their crap coverage and customer service.  I said that about 6 years ago and was only very slightly waivered when the iPhones were introduced.  But I&#8217;m a man of my word and pronounced that I would hold out on Verizon and my trusty, though boring, Blackberry until they got a better phone for me.</p>
<p>This morning Google &amp; Verizon held a press conference and sent out a statement (<a href="http://bit.ly/W8XST" target="_blank">read here</a>) announcing their matrimony.  Basically it states that the two will be joining forces to usher out new devices loaded with Google&#8217;s cell phone operating system, called <a href="http://www.android.com/" target="_blank">Android</a> &amp; apps.  The guys over at Engadget held <a href="http://bit.ly/17C2sg" target="_blank">a phone call of their own</a> with the two companies and dugg up a little more info.  They found out that 2 of these new devices will be released in the next few weeks &amp; that one of them will be a &#8220;game-changer&#8221;.  I have no idea what that is or what it means but I&#8217;m damn excited to find out!</p>
<p>One of the phones was rumored out the last couple of months and I have been tracking it ever since.  It&#8217;s a phone from Motorola that&#8217;s had two names&#8230;.<strong>Sholes</strong> and most recently the <strong>Tao</strong>.  You can see some blurry pics of it <a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/10/01/motorola-droid-will-be-verizons-android-handset-from-motorola/" target="_blank">here.</a> We&#8217;re pretty sure that the Sholes\Tao phone will be one of the phones to come out of this marriage in the next couple of weeks, but probably won&#8217;t be the one touted as the &#8216;game-changer&#8217;.</p>
<p>Verizon has also recently started taking off the gloves with AT&amp;T and are finally fighting back.  Check out this ad (sorry this was the best I could find on short notice) displaying their US coverage compared to AT&amp;Crap&#8217;s.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/37NKnDRPFKU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/37NKnDRPFKU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>BTW, I&#8217;m totally biased against AT&amp;T due to some really bad personal experiences with them.  I&#8217;m in no way trying to debated technicals between the two companies.  This is simply personal!  At least I&#8217;m honest right?</p>
<p>So, anyone else out there on Verizon that&#8217;s as excited as I am for this?</p>
