Feed Engadget: Is Google trademarking Google PC? (engadget.com)

For all you conspiracy buffs out there, you can now add a new chapter to your massive clip-book of JFK magic-bullet theories, alien abduction reports, and shape-shifting reptilian overlord photos. According to Trademork, a gentleman named David Liu -- who is apparently legal counsel for Google, Inc. -- has filed to protect the trademark "Google PC." The plot thickens when you learn that the address listed in the filing is 6363 Wilshire Blvd., which incidentally happens to be a five-story building in California with the word "Google" visible in the bottom floor window (which looks like a watermark to us, but you know how sneaky the Illuminati can be, denials notwithstanding). Collect the clues and crack the code... if you dare.

Orange Box In Stores Wednesday 162

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 08, 2007 @07:04PM from the crowbars-at-the-ready dept.

Ars Technica is reporting on an announcement from Valve: the Orange Box will be in stores on Wednesday. For those folks who purchased the pack through Steam, all five games will be 'unlocked' just after midnight that day. If you're like me and already owned HL2 and HL2:Episode One, the 'giveaway keys' should be available at that time as well. "In our last bit of Orange Box news, Valve has been running a television commercial for the Orange Box. It had to have been hard to make all those different games look like one cohesive package, but the company did a great job. The Orange Box can't come soon enough."

Yep, it was the second-to-last episode to be aired on Fox -- it's last in the story sequence, but since Fox aired 'em all out of order, well... BTW, did anyone else notice that "Objects In Space" was actually Firefly's cliché Christmas episode? It originally aired a week or so before Xmas 2002, and in that context the ep's storyline (insane, red-suited bounty hunter sneaks onto ship while the crew's tucked away in their bunks) seems like a twisted take on "The Night Before Christmas." Whedon doesn't mention it in the commentary, but the intention was there, all right. Think about it, won't you?
