We weren't going to post this, but it looks like it could be legitimate. Engadget was sent a 2-minute video by a guy who claims that he bought a Nexus S on eBay that came with Android Ice Cream Sandwich loaded on it. Adding more credibility to the claim, he now says that after posting the video his device was remotely wiped by Google. I hope they plan to reimburse him. From the looks of it, Google is sticking with the silly Tron theme of… Read More

One of the most iconic scenes in the 1982′s Tron is the high-tech lightcycle race that unfolds on a massive grid within the film's digital universe. Given the scene's esteemed place in the science-fiction universe, it's strangely fitting that it's also the inspiration for a new ad promoting a decidedly less high-tech product: duct tape. In the new ad for Duck Tape brand duct tape, rolls of the tape that no one can… Read More

Flynn lives! Or at least he will if Disney has anything to say about it. Tron: Legacy may be quickly fading into memory, but the series is alive and well, and the franchise is just about to hit its stride. A new animated series, Tron: Uprising is due next year, Tron 3 is all but confirmed and the upcoming DVD/blu-ray release is eagerly awaited. Along with the movie, of course, the new Tron: Legacy home edition will include three scenes filmed… Read More

Maybe TRON Legacy didn't manage to live up to the monumental levels of hype that preceded its release last year, but the almost 20 years late sequel to Steven Lisberger's original 1982 film at least painted a more detailed picture of the franchise's beautiful computer world. It's a locale that will be further explored in Disney's upcoming TRON Uprising, an animated series featuring a story that is set between the… Read More

Greetings, programs.  Good news! An industry source has told Aint it Cool News that Disney execs are close to giving the green light to a sequel for Tron: Legacy, and an announcement could come any day.

Monster held a press conference Wednesday morning and highlighted its collaboration with the new Disney film Tron. Noel Lee took the stage at CES to unveil a series of new products including the much-anticipated team-up with Disney’s Tron. The new movie is being buzzed about in tech circles and Monster hopes to claim some of that market with headphones and other products inspired by the film’s sleek space-age aesthetic.

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy! No top 5 videos next week due to our ongoing CES coverage, but we will return in two weeks. A Blizzard, Seen Over 20 Hours As you may have heard, or perhaps even experienced, the Northeast recently received a bit of snow. A whole, huge, bit of snow. Several feet of… Read More

Although it was 28-years between the original and the recently released Tron: Legacy, the next Tron movie should be out after a much shorter delay. Assuming there is one at all. Without going into heavy spoilers, Tron: Legacy left multiple directions for the franchise to continue, with little moments, like a blink-and-you’ll-miss him cameo by Cillian Murphy as the son of one of the original movie’s antagonist, Ed Dillnger (played by David… Read More

I have to admit, that I am a Tron nerd. I mention that to explain the fact that I went into Tron: Legacy with pre-conceived notions and high expectations. I loved the original as a kid, and it is one of those movies that just stuck with me. I remember the crap video games, and there might still be an old lightcycle buried in a box somewhere in an attic filled with other pieces of my childhood. I may or may not even have had Tron bed sheets… Read More

Following on the heels of the TRON: Evolution video game series, Disney consumer products is rolling out a slate of TRON: Legacy merchandise especially designed to appeal to fans of French electronica duo Daft Punk. In collaboration with Monster Cable (the same folks behind things like Beats by Dr. Dre), Disney is rolling out Daft Punk Edition TRON: Legacy headphones, complete with an LED Light Drive system. And for the younger set, Disney has… Read More

If ever there was a film franchise tailor-made for video game tie-ins, it has to be Disney's 1982 TRON, which was the first film to take computer-generated imagery into the mainstream of Hollywood filmmaking—even if it was using DEC minicomputers to do it. Although it's taken nearly 30 years to follow up on TRON, Disney's 3D follow-up TRON: Legacy has been in the incubator for a while, and now Disney is priming audiences… Read More

News Corp and Apple are rumored to be making a joint announcement on December 9, reportedly concerning the imminent arrival of the iPad only magazine The Daily. Looks like they’ve been beat to the punch by Virgin, which will launch Project, a magazine exclusively available for iPad, tonight. Initial reports pegged Virgin founder Richard Branson’s Project as a light, browse-worthy, in-flight magazine – a logical conclusion for the Virgin Airways… Read More

This trailer actually came out earlier in the week, and since its debut it has already circled the internet a few times. Unless something unpredictable happens, it appears that Disney might have a hit on their hands with Tron Legacy. Here’s hoping it is good enough to warrant another sequel 28 years from now! In the most recent trailer for the film, the story is the focus as opposed to the visually amazing trailers or the Daft Punk focused… Read More

Tron: Legacy better not suck. So far Disney is pulling out all the stops—bringing back Jeff Bridges and young-ifying him on screen, spending around $170 million on the sequel to the movie that came out nearly 30-years ago, and hiring the intensely reclusive Daft Punk to score the soundtrack. All the moves have been solid so far, so Tron: Legacy better not suck. Disney released a new video today that is one part music video, and one part movie… Read More
