Heath Ledger Cause of Death - The New York Medical Examiner's office has ruled Heath Ledger's death as an accidental overdose on prescription drugs. Specifically, the cause of death was "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement. Or, to put the commercial name on them, OxyContin, Valium, Xanax, Restril and Unisom. The man was a walking medicine cabinet. Now dead for the same reason.
Conan v Stewart v Colbert Feud - It must be a slow news day as CNN.com is reporting about the "feud" between the nighttime talk show hosts that ended in a hilarious "fight."
Old Games = Money - Nintendo is reporting that they have sold 10 million copies of their virtual console games. In addition, Gamestop is making money hand over fist with the selling of used games (and new as used without your knowledge) resulting in it accounting for 44% of their profits (see chart). Not surprised considering the high cost of new games and they pay around $5 for a game and then sell it for $20.Target Clearance Days - Want to know when Target tends to hit its various department to determine clearance and other sales, then click the link. The only one that matters to me is Monday for Electronics.
Mario Kart Wii - Its coming, no release date, but apparently promising 32 courses, mid-air tricks, Mii use, 12 player online matches (drool), ghost downloads, and 16 new players.
XBox 360 Price Drop - The price at retail has officially dropped to $130 and possibly still subject to the five free titles offer. I recommend Transformers.
