Was The 'Harry Potter Leak' Digital Shoplifting?
The premature online release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be in stores this Friday at midnight, has caused quite the ruckus.
Most fans are conflicted: Do I sneak a peek, strain my eyes and ruin the surprise, or do I patiently wait it out all the while knowing it's out there? One thing's for certain - the widespread use and availability of digital cameras and web access makes it pretty easy for someone to snag a copy of an unreleased book, magazine cover or valuable piece of information and pop it up on the web.

Little known fact, today is national Embrace Your Geekiness Day. That's right people, it's one day of the year we geeks are told to embrace all the character traits that make us so special. I'm talking about those gadget-loving, internet-sleuthing, all knowing qualities.

According to Joystiq, there just might be a new and improved Wii remote hitting store shelves by mid-summer. This updated Wii remote would have a Mic built into the top to expand the Wii's game playing capabilities.

What Movie Do You Want to See as a Video Game?
It's usually easy to predict which movies will become movies, like the Harry Potter series. Other times, it's a little confounding (Juno?!), and I'm surprised but pleased to learn of the new Wizard of Oz game for the Nintendo DS.
The 3D role-playing game is based on the book and the subsequent movie, and though it seems like a bit precious, it actually looks pretty cool.
Did the 1984 Kindle Debacle Make You Reconsider eBooks?
The Kindle suffered its biggest debacle yet at the end of last week when it was discovered that the publisher of George Owell's Animal Farm and 1984 did not own the rights to the books — and Amazon complied by not only removing the books from the Kindle store, but by also remotely deleting the already-downloaded eBooks from Kindles.
