If you thought the name of the recently introduced Google mobile phone, the Nexus One sounded familiar, you're not alone. The estate of the late sci-fi author Philip K. Dick says that the Internet giant lifted the name from the author's classic novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (better known as the movie "Blade Runner.")
In the novel, the Nexus One refers to the model of a rogue android.
Audiences across the world are hungry for James Cameron's "Avatar."
In the three weeks since its release, the film has taken in t $1.1 billion worldwide. That figure pushes the film past the first "Pirates of the Caribbean installment and into third place all-time for box-office receipts.
Sure, playing video games is a lot of fun on your iPhone or iPod Touch, but what if you could control a remote control helicopter?
Twitter is everywhere these days. Well, at least it seems that way.
With many states in the country debating new texting while driving laws, it appears that Ford is taking a step to help Twitter- addicts avoid a ticket and drive safely. The car company will introduce an application that will read Twitter messages to you while driving. The application is one of three that will be introduced by the auto giant during today's presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show.
They're geeky and delicious!

The White House is considering presenting the annual State of the Union address on Tuesday, February 2. "Lost" fans may recognize that date as the scheduled premiere for the sixth season of the island-based drama. If the White House decides to go with Feb. 2, then it appears "Lost" would be moved back a week. [...]
Not really; maybe Balesome, for Bale/John Connors was not the central character of Terminator Salvation. The story is about the missing Terminator link, Marcus Wright. And the story is not that bad. In fact, aside a few gratuitous and pointless action sequences, I enjoyed the movie. True, I could still be shell-shocked from Star Trek’s so-called-plot, and anything might looks good at this point.
Sunday night at 9 p.m. EST, the moment we've all been waiting for finally arrives--"Chuck" returns for its third season.
When last season ended, we saw Chuck get upgraded as the Intersect and Morgan leave the Buy More. It appeared that the hi-jinks at the Buy More could be coming to an end. However, that isn't going to be the case according to actor Mark Christopher Lawrence who plays Big Mike on the show.
More evidence that the "Twilight" phenonomenon cannot end soon enough.
Thanks to the movie and novel series, Bella has replaced Max as the most popular dog name of 2009.
When our alien overlords finally do arrive and begin dining on humankind, apparently they'll eat the "fatties" first.
At least that's according to the marketing campaign of a gym in the United Kingdom.
A script for the upcoming third installment of the "Twilight" saga has turned up on-line according to the Deadline Hollywood.
The script, which is authentic, began making the rounds earlier this week and has been traced back to star Jackson Rathbone. Rathbone plays Jasper Hale in the series.
If you've been watching Fox lately, you've probably seen promos for the upcoming series, "Human Target."

As 2010 begins, the Hubble Space Telescope continues to deliver more stunning photos of our universe. Scientists made public a new series of panaromaic photos yesterday that show a view of some of the youngest galaxies in the universe.
The current financial state at MGM coupled with disagreements between director Darron Aaronofsky and the studio have delayed production on the upcoming "RoboCop" remake.
Ever gone scuba diving and wondered if the sharks might be more intimidates if you looked more like Captain Kirk?
Now you can find out with a new line of wet suits designed to look like the classic "Star Trek" uniforms. Fans can order yellow for command, blue for sciences or red for engineering and security. However, for scuba diving, it may not be a good idea to go down as a red shirt, since most security red shirts rarely made it back to the ship in one piece.
