Earlier this week many websites, including AllThingsD, announced that Apple will be holding another special event on Tuesday October 22. The event is expected to be primarily about an update to the iPad line which will likely feature a 64-bit processor (A7), Touch ID sensor, and updated camera. Some rumors have mentioned that we could see the bezel of the iPad shrink even more in this next revision and we could possibly see an iPad mini with a retina display.

As of this posting, there are still no official announcements from Apple regarding this event and we also haven’t heard where they are planning to hold the event. As soon as official details begin to roll in we will be pushing out updates.

World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit

by Leave a Comment

Blizzard Store and ThinkGeek.com are now selling the World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit game.

“For the first time ever, Trivial Pursuit partners with massive multiplayer online role-playing game; World of Warcraft. Challenge and test yourself with 600 questions of the world, dungeons, villains, loot and more. An epic adventure awaits all heroes who answer the call!” -Blizzard

WoW trivial pursuitWhat ThinkGeek has to say:

MMORPG Trivia.

Ever wonder what Trivial Pursuit would be like in other lands? In Azeroth, for instance, would they still have questions about US Politics? We don’t think so. They’d have questions about their own history and politics and geography and stuff. Well, like it fell through a dimensional fissure, that’s what we got here: World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit.

World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit is all about WoW. Move your custom baby Murloc piece around (following the number on the custom baby Murloc die) and earn yourself some wedges by answering questions correctly (wedges still fit in classic playing pieces, also included). World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit categories include villains, lore, and loot! Adventure through 600 questions to test who really knows World of Warcraft and who should just go out into the real world and play outside.

World of Warcraft Trivial Pursuit

  • For Ages 12 and up.
  • Trivial Pursuit mashed up with World of Warcraft.
  • Move custom baby Murloc movers – because you can!
  • Categories: Geography, Villains, Encounters, Characters, Lore, and Loot.
  • Includes: Game board, 100 cards (600 questions), custom baby Murloc die, custom baby Murloc playing pieces, usual Trivial Pursuit pieces and wedges, and instructions.
  • Board Dimensions: Trivial Pursuit-sized.

 

You can purchase these at the Blizzard Store and ThinkGeek.com

The Nobel Prize in Physics Goes to Higgs Boson Researchers

by Leave a Comment

The Nobel Prize in physics was given to Higgs Boson researchers Peter Higgs (84) and Francois Englert (80) “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.”

“The entire Standard Model also rests on the existence of a special kind of particle: the Higgs particle. This particle originates from an invisible field that fills up all space.”

“Even when the universe seems empty this field is there. Without it, we would not exist, because it is from contact with the field that particles acquire mass. The theory proposed by Englert and Higgs describes this process.”
