Sony's next gaming console may not include the much-heralded Cell architecture.
A report from Japanese outlet Impress Watch states Sony is considering several options for the design of the 'PlayStation 4,' including scrapping the Cell design entirely and moving towards a traditional PC multi-core processor.
Tech writer Hiroshige Goto says Sony is also looking at a new, modified version of the Cell processor, and Intel's Larrabee chipset as possible candidates. He also says that it seems unlikely we'll see a release of the 'PS4' until 2012 at the earliest, as it usually takes two years for a console to go from concept into full production.

"Avatar", Hidden Messages?
Since it opened last week, James Cameron's much-anticipated film "Avatar" has won praise from movie critics and been a juggernaut at the box office. But some who have seen the film say that it contains hidden messages that are anti-war, pro-environment, and perhaps even racist.
For the benefit of those who haven't seen the film, a little nonspoiler background might be useful. The story is set in the year 2154 when Earth's inhabitants, having used up most of their natural resources through decades of living in excess, plan to use military force to conquer Pandora, a moon roughly the same size as Earth. Pandora, inhabited by a wise, peaceful, and nature-respecting people with blue skin called the Na'vi, is rich in a resource that the people of Earth desperately need.
MW2 Patch "Live" Today
Many of you are familiar with my hatred toward the overpowered akimbo shotguns. Thanks to today's patch (called patch 1.07 by Infinity Ward), cheap deaths caused by these weapons will bother players no more. They have been nerfed to hell! This patch also fixes the private match glitch, and according to one of Infinity Ward's community moderators, "I don't know if the prestige glitch did make it over to 360, but if so, that too has been addressed." And in case you are wondering, this patch already hit the PlayStation 3 last week.

Dr. Don Bevins, "An Icon"
"I have only been a part of the Gearheart family for the past three years and have NEVER meet an individual that had (has) impacted me, as a person, as Dr. Don Bevins. I have fond memories of Hillbilly Days, Local Media Events and just hanging around the office and will miss him. He was a true ICON for the mountains of Eastern Kentucky and a Powerful, Powerful Radio Personality that we MAY NEVER witness again in this OR ANY lifetime. Christina and I will think of you always and our heart goes out to your family, your friend, Heath"
**Note: Funeral services for Bevins will be held at 1 p.m., Thursday, at Lucas and Son Funeral Home, Pikeville.**
APPALACHIAN NEW-EXPRESS ARTICLE:
"Iconic radio personality passes away at 61"
With his striking baritone voice and an ability to befriend almost anyone, Donald “Dr. Don” Bevins became an icon to his community and an integral part of its culture.
But, on Sunday, Bevins died at 61, leaving behind a legacy of music and community involvement.

He returned home, which led to his big break a few years later.
In 1975, Bevins hit his stride, when he got a job at WECL, a new radio station opened in Elkhorn City by Allen Epling and his father.
Kentucky vs. Uconn, Tonight
I’m not going to lie. I was actually really pumped up about writing tonight about how the Cats will take to hallowed basketball grounds Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden in the SEC vs. Big East challenge. The place is so full of history and, as a double major in sports and history nerdery, I was excited. I wanted to talk about Willis Reed and Ali-Frazier I and Wrestlemania. But, unfortunately, the wife decided she was going to upload photos to Facebook and talk about ultrasounds and whatnot for about 5 consecutive hours. Now, we’ve got to get this done quickly. Just know it’s a historic arena.
