Down at i-Grizzly we are currently bashing the hell out of our ps3 controllers with the largest grins on our faces. Soul Caliber is here, DARTH VADER is here the wait is over and we still cant believe it.
We will update you tomorrow on our outcome of the game.
At the moment thumbs up
Ex-Google employees Anna Patterson, Russell Power and Louis Monier have joined forces to set up a new search engine which is said to rival Google, in terms of pages searched. It comes by the name of “Cuil” - which is pronounced “Cool”.
They claim that it searches over 120 Billion pages, which is apparently alot more than Google have.
The name “Cuil” is gaelic for Knowledge.
“The time may be right for a challenger,” said Danny Sullivan, editor in chief of Search Engine Land. “Competing with Google is still a very daunting task, as Microsoft will tell you.” - BBC UK
I actually quite like the site - very simple.

Let’s see how it does!
Its a rare day you will catch me promoting war - but in this case I say “beat the craappp out of each other”…Yes folks Supermarkets such as Asda and Sainsburys have started a price war on petrol.
Asda has suggested that it will reduce prices by 3p a litre, Morrisons by 4p and Sainsburys by a whopping 5p (good on you Sainsburys). I think Banksy summarises it appropriately in this picture! No-one in this country can say that they haven’t felt the pinch of rising petrol prices - but when the pinch began to turn into a punch, it began to hurt… bad!
This month the price of oil fell from $147 a barrel to $130 and these chains felt that it was only right for them to pass on this saving to the customer - apart from Tesco (I wonder why).
So whilst things aren’t great, at least theyre getting better - so instead of thinking ten times before taking that trip, you now only have to think 7 times…things are looking up guys, but i still maintain that a litre of water is more expensive than a litre of petrol (thats what lets me sleep at night, having paid my credit card bill)… So for all you war haters out there - shut the hell up and watch this time.
Golden Girl Estelle Getty sadly passed away from “advanced dementia”. Our thoughts are with her family - cos it must suck to have had “advanced” dementia, im sure its bad enough just having run of the mill normal dementia.
She died at the tender age of 85, but from the picture, and for those who ever saw the show, it was clear that she probably hit that age about 30 years ago…. Its always a sad day when an on-screen star leaves us - we wish her friends and family well.
It’s been released today by the BBC that a proffessor in Netherlands has found the way to hack oyster cards! - For those of you on the site from sites other than UK - an oyster card is what you need in order to access our wonderful public transport - squashed, hot, sweaty, smelly public transport. 
As the world knows, travelling in london can cost on average £90- £150 a month, and in some cases much more. (I pay £164 a month!!) - so there was bound to be some geek who cracked the oyster code!
So the issue now, is that judges have ruled that the hacks top line information will be freely available on the internet! - wtf?
Well they seem to think that having it online, will be alot safer than hiding it away. This means that it will only give you basic information about how the hack came about, and NOT the algorithm which is all the maths and code behind actually hacking and altering your “credit”.
Now what I’m thinking is - if within 2 minutes of finding this out, I managed to find a Oyster card reader/writer for £225- whats to stop people forging the cards from tommorow?
Well you would have to be pretty dumb to do so - because, if you use a fraudulent card tomorrow, at the end of EVERYDAY the information is compared up to a central database, and your fraudulent card will obviously not have a correct “Card ID” - which means it will result in an error on their systems.
This will give them your card information allowing them to track your exact whereabouts the next day.
The only way you could pull this off is to use a different oyster card everyday - (i think).

The movie that has caused so much hype, premiered on Friday in the US and it took $66.4 million dollars!!! (£33.2 Milli)- that’s alot of Milli’s - ain’t that right lil wayne?
Anyways….
This is a new record, which smashed the previous one set by the Spider Man movie last year which took $59.8 Milli (£29.9 Milli). - the story was all over the “WEB” <—see what i did? Genius.
The Dark Knight, premieres here in the UK on the 21st of July - so..tommorow (monday) - I’m sure it will also be a huge hit here aswell.
It’s caused a bit of a fright in the UK today when news was released of a new knife which has an “exploding” tip which shoots a burst of frozen gas from a needle at the tip with a press of a button - the interesting part is that this burst of gas will freeze the victims organs. Sends a chill down my spine.
It is designed to kill bears and sharks - anything that harms Grizzly bears, - we are against!
The UK are scared that this knife will soon be within the hands of youths in the public, on the streets (where there are no sharks, or bears)
It’s retailing at £200, and is called the “Wasp” knife - see the demonstration video below - Wasp Knife vs. Watermelon!
BT has confirmed that it will start digging up the UK roads this year to start installing its new fibre optic cables for internet and phone lines, allowing speeds of 100 Mb/s by 2012, and up to 1,000 Mb/s in the future. - that means we can all do our legal downloads SO much quicker.
This project is going to cost £1.5bn - and obviously Virgin Media are not too happy about it, as currently they were the only mainstream ISP using Fibre Optic cables.
I can not wait till the day we have 1,000Mb/s on the baby in the photo!
