Rumor: MacBook Touch

Apple has raked in tons of money from the iPhone and the iPod Touch partly because of their technological capability to support games – good games at that. Now rumor of a new MacBook Touch has surfaced via MacDailyNews.

“Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.”

The rumored device seems to be an elarged iPod Touch, in my opinion, a big tablet gaming device, Awesome! If the price is right when this baby comes out (if it really does exist), I might consider buying one.

Band Hero DS Will Come With A Drum Grip

Band Hero DS has been announced, giving DS players a chance to link and perform as a virtual band right at their fingertips. And for players out there who wants to experience playing the drums with their Nintendo DS will finally get a chance to be the drummer of their band.

Band Hero DS will come with a drum grip, which is a piece of rubberized silicon that slips over on the DS Lite. This is designed to enable the feel of rapidly playing the drums rather than tapping the virtual drumset that can be found on the touchscreen of the DS Lite.

This peripheral will come bundled with every copy of Band Hero DS. Not only that, the game would also come with a single DS Lite-compatible guitar grip.

The drum grip and the guitar grip unfortunately would not be compatible for the DSi. Too bad for you DSi users out there.

Sam Raimi to Direct World of Warcraft Movie

This just in, Blizzard officially announced that Sam Raimi will be directing the World of Warcraft movie. Sam Raimi directed blockbuster movies in the past, most of them familiar to you guys I’m sure, with the likes of Spiderman series of movies, The Quick and the Dead, and the cult classic Army of Darkness. I honestly believed that if ever there was going to be a World of Warcraft move, Peter Jackson would be chosen as the director. Guess I was wrong.
