And a big Friday thank you going out to All Games Beta, who have managed to unearth some screenshots and concept artwork from the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online MMORPG.  What a perfect way to start the weekend, no?

The game is reportedly set for a launch this month although some are suggesting that it could be launched at E3 instead, and will most likely be seeing a release in 2013. In any case if you’d like to check out the rest of the screenshots and the concept artwork, head on over to All Games Beta in the source link below. So, what do you guys think? The quality of the screenshots do not appear to be the best quality but admittedly the game does look pretty good, assuming that the screenshots are to be believed of course.

Dammit.  Now I’m just jonesing to do this all weekend!

Of course it’s another May day and another Samsung Galaxy S3 leak and I understand your skepticism, but this one certainly does have a little weight to it, I promise.

Reportedly manufactured in Korea, this here screen protector that you’re seeing, dubbed the Ultimate Screen Guard, was created specifically for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3.  Wow, right?  You’re noticing just how large the screen is, aren’t you?

Unwire HK actually compared this shot with the Galaxy S2 screen size and while the width is mostly the same, the length is quite different, which affirms the plentiful rumors of a 4.8” display size.  If you will draw your attention to the curved bottom and the shape and size of the home button, this looks indeed to be right on the money.

Of course we won’t have to wait too long to find out the skinny, as the official Samsung Galaxy S3 announcement is on the morrow.  Whatever, you know you’re excited.  Who put it on their calendar like months ago?  Yeah, you.

Wow.  Guess this a away for the drowning cable market to get back on its feet, especially considering the recent news that one out of five US homes are streaming the Internet on their TV.  Reportedly, if you are a cable customer, you only will receive full access to features and contents that we non-cable-ers would not be allowed to view.  You uppity cable people.  We’ve been out of your reach for four years now.

So, who buys this news?  Think this is just some fluff and the “full access” for cable customers is some behind-the-scenes kind of crap?

A big thanks going out to IGN who has a genuine photo of a pre-order Call of Duty Black Ops 2 card from Target, which now officially and at long last finally confirms that the next installment of Call of Duty is indeed called Black Ops 2.  Sheesh.  That’s all they had to do, just confirm it before the highly anticipated November 13th release date.

Sometimes it’s the simple things, you know?  As you can see from this here handy dandy photograph, Call of Duty Black Ops 2 will be officially released November 13, 2012 and available both for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

Now, there is always a slim chance this news could be fake, but we’re thinking it’s slim to none.  Or maybe that’s just hope coloring our otherwise clear-eyed vision.

We’re loving all the products the creative types are putting out using 3D printers, everything from earrings to wall hangings and now guitars.

A New Zealand-based professor of mechatronics at the Massey University’s School of Engineering and Advanced Technology has been working on several prototypes of 3D printed playable guitars and we can’t wait to see how Olaf Diegel is going to customize these babies.

Of course these Les Paul-styled guitars still feature a wooden soul, the rest of the body is made using materials such as Polyamide 2200 or Alumide.  We’re no professional musicians, but still a little skeptical that the sound emanating from an Alumide might not be as clean as from an all-wood structure, but we’ve been wrong before.  Like maybe once, okay almost twice.

The word on the musical street is that Diegel’s guitars will soon be going from prototype to ready-to-use creations in a matter of months.  Prices are expected to be anywhere between $3,000 to $5,000.

What what, y’all.  Apple has just announced this year’s WWDC deets and you can’t stop checking the upcoming Sprint Galaxy Nexus long enough to check it.

The 2012 WWDC, aka Worldwide Developer Conference, will be taking place in Moscone West, San Francisco June 11 to June 15.  Attendees will enjoy over 100 sessions on iOS and OS X as well as the details on a new student scholarship program.

It should be noted that back in 2011, Apple introduced iOS 5, detailed OS X Lion further along with iCloud. It is safe to assume that iOS 6 could be introduced at WWDC 2012 but we could be wrong. In any case we can’t wait to see what Apple will be introducing at WWDC this year, so if you’d like to attend, you will be able to purchase your tickets via Apple’s website for $1,599 each.

Now you just have to find that extra $1600 that you’re not allocating to the Galaxy.  Yes, we live in a mixed world.  iPad and Android handsets can equally play nice.

Even in the off-season you can find football news, but at least today’s is more technology related.  The Denver Broncos are going digital for the 2012 season by switching their weekly 500-page printed playbooks to iPads for all.

According to the Denver Post, the Broncos will be purchasing iPads for their entire team, coaches, players and all.  Wonder if the water boys feel left out.  Maybe they can at least get them a Nano or a Shuffle.

The iPads will officially take over plays, video clips and scouting reports and save about a kazillion trees each year, taking into account that the old bulky 500-page printed playbooks were printed each week.

Players are being provided with Verizon’s LTE version of the third-gen iPad with 64GB of storage capacity.   Man, I never wanted to be a footballer until now.

While it’s still about two weeks away from Samsung’s big reveal, they’re not letting us just bide our time.  Teasing us with a website for “The Next Galaxy” and releasing two video teasers, the Korean company is helping juice the hyping machine for the upcoming Galaxy S3.

The two released videos, one a shorter version of the over-a-minute-long teaser, give us not only an eye into the juicing of the hype machine but also a touch of humor at the expense of us Apple iOS users.  But don’t go getting all offended, Don Draper couldn’t have done a better job creating a trailer for Samsung’s Galaxy S3.

Check out the video and see if you don’t get a good laugh as well as a hearty helping of anticipation for the May 3rd London big reveal.

Mere days ago Sprint at last announced that the long-anticipated Galaxy Nexus was up for pre-order and you guessed it, the pre-ordered Android is out of stock.  Talk about about much-awaited and rearing to go, huh?

So, we’re all crossing our fingers and toes any maybe a few eyeballs that you were on the ball enough to get on the pre-ordering early, but if not sadly you are out of luck until the official launch date.  Now your greedy little fingers will have to wait until April 22 to get your hands on the Sprint network Galaxy Nexus.  Put that date on your calendar, folks, and plan on being in stores early.  Like mad dash early.  Like bring a tent and some marshmallows and camp fire early.  Yeah, like REI Scratch & Dent sale early.  No joke.

Seems like for once, the hype is paying off for Sprint who hasn’t seen a pre-order sell-out in quite some time.  You gotta love Ice Cream Sandwich.

It seems like you Android lovers are always having to keep up with us Apple users and iHome docks are now no exception to that rule.

iHome has decided to show Android handsets some love after years of putting out mostly iOS products by launching three new docks, iC50, iC3 and iC16.

The iC50 otherwise known as Space Saver FM Stereo Alarm Clock Radio for Android Smartphones, though we prefer the iC50 to that mouthful, connects to your Android smartphone via a sliding micro USB connector.  This little gadget will charge your phone but also lives a double life as an alarm clock with a built-in FM tuner.  And yes, yes this is compatible with the iHome Sleep app.

Next on to the iC3 which will help you broadcast your tunes house-wide with a pretty decent stereo speaker.  The iC3 features the same sliding micro USB connector and due to its sheer size, should be able to dock your Android tablets as well as your smartphones.

And lastly, the iC16 which is basically a more portable version of the iC16 which features and alarm clock, stereo speakers and a USB port so you can charge along the way.
