2:40AM Sean Fallon | As you may already know, Alienware has a gaming laptop coming out next month with a name that automatically sets the bar impossibly high: “Allpowerful.” The latest ad in their teaser campaign features a riddle that has been cracked by Larven on the NotebookReview forums. More »

11:10AM Nick Broughall | It’s been a while since I’ve seen a countdown website promising enough excitement to actually get me to roll out of bed in the morning, so the fact that I’m writing about this Alienware site at all means I’m at least partially interested. More »

iRex Promises a ‘New Era in Digital Reading’ Next Week, a.k.a. an Updated iLiad
9:20AM Sean Fallon | There are no real details yet, but the e-reader company iRex has a teaser site up promising to unveil a “new era in digital reading” on September 22nd. We’re not sure what kind of improvements they’re going to make on their iLiad reader to make it worthwhile in this current market. Obviously, they are going to need to try pretty hard in order to take on the likes of Amazon’s Kindle. Alright iRex…WOW me! [iRex] More »

Canon’s Moonlit Teaser Advert Hints at EOS 5D Mark II in Highlights
6:46PM Kit Eaton | Moody, very moody, and quite serious: that’s how I’d label the new teaser from Canon that gives the merest hints of an upcoming “serious” EOS camera. Have a look at that bulky shoulder and the smooth curve over the pentaprism mount—classic high-end EOS right there: the apparent lack of pop-up flash is the give-away. Clearly it’s time for Canon to draw attention away from Nikon with its swanky new D90, but what’s it got ready for us under the “destined evolution” banner? Best guess so far is a 5D upgrade, but over to you in the comments, EOS fans. [Canon] More »

Nokia’s Weirdest Clip Ever Made Might Just Be It
7:20AM Jason Chen | Nokia’s teaser site that promised the weirdest clip ever made has just coughed up that video in question, and yeah, it’s pretty damn weird. The first puzzle is almost impossible to solve by non-brute force methods if you don’t have a Nokia phone, but if you do, it’s a matter of watching the video and plugging in the symbols in the correct order. For those of you who don’t want to try it for themselves, you can see the video after the jump. We’re still unclear what phone this is teasing for. [Open At Own Risk] More »

Sony’s New Ad Campaign Teaser: Crazy Stuff With Cameras
6:15AM Wilson Rothman | Sony’s launching a new ad campaign on April 22, following up all those other spots we’re crazy about. We got our hands on the teaser, entitled “Nothing,” and it is both very cool and totally irritating at the same time, because “Nothing” is exactly what happens. Kind of. It’s a bunch of smug film dudes talking with British accents about explosions and special effects, while doing increasingly crazy things with their cameras. If I was one of those cameras in the video, I’d be praying for a stunt double—look for the one that gets tossed off a bungee platform, and the other that gets rolled down a friggin’ mountain. But all of this build-up is for what, Sony? WHAT ARE THEY SHOOTING!!??! [Sony] More »

Motorola Teaser Vid for Upcoming Z12 Media Phone?
11:59AM Adrian Covert | A Motorola teaser video popped up on YouTube, complete with people lugging around TVs, laptops, CDs and DVD players. The spot ends with the statement “It doesn’t have to be this hard.” Word on the ‘nets is this vid is for Motorola’s Z12 phone, which is said to have significant multimedia features (mobile video, 5 MP camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc…). Expect to hear more on this at 3GSM in Barcelona next week. [Electronista via Ubergizmo] More »

Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Leaves Us Unimpressed
4:45AM Jason Chen | When we last played the Duke Nukem series, it ran exclusively on German Enigma machines, which means that unless this teaser trailer showed graphics so far ahead of its league that it makes Crysis look like stick figure drawings, there’s no way that anybody will be impressed. It’s not that the graphics are horrible, but we’ve seen similar from Gears of War—and that was last year. At least the voice actor and dialogue is still the same, which means 15-year-old Jason would love it. [Shacknews] More »
