Watchmen: Trailer #3 [video]
Last Thursday, Warner Bros released a new trailer for Zack Snyder’s highly anticipated film Watchmen. The latest trailer (see below) gives viewers a better look at the gripping story behind Watchmen. Viewers are also able to hear some bits and pieces of dialogue from the actors and get a better feel for the film's style.The previous Watchmen trailer, set to the Smashing Pumpkins song "The End Is the Beginning Is the End," was absolutely amazing, but it was more of a music video than a trailer.
If watching the Watchmen on your small computer screen leaves you longing for more, this latest Watchmen trailer will also be attached to the new James Bong film Quantum of Solace which opened in U.S. theaters last weekend.
Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie, based on Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Hugo award-winning graphic novel, premieres in U.S. theaters on March 6, 2009.

Play Your iPhone like a Flute with the Smule Ocarina [video]
Do songs like "Bungle In the Jungle," "Stairway to Heaven" and the Zelda theme song have 5 stars ratings on your iPhone? Then perhaps you should check out an iPhone App called the Smule Ocarina.An innovative company called Smule has written an iPhone App that utilizes both the iPhone's touch screen and microphone and created the first true iPhone wind instrument - The Smule Ocarina.
An ocarina is an ancient flute-like wind instrument, and one of the easiest instruments to learn. To use the Smule Ocarina, just blow into your iPhone's microphone and control the pitch with different fingerings on the touch screen.

The Smule Ocarina's advanced options allow you to choose between diatonic, minor and harmonic scales. There's also another option called Zeldarian mode which will make your iPhone sound like it was used to compose The Legend of Zelda theme song.

Blogrush Shuts Downs
Was Blogrush a Traffic Generator or Pyramid Scheme? While the bloggersphere continues to debate it, this month the company shut down. Here's a portion of the white flag email that was sent to BlogRush users by CEO John Reese:
We installed the BlogRush widget on Methodshop.com when they first launched and really didn't see any traffic increase or benefit from it at all. One of our biggest issues with the widget was it was fugly. We had to exile the ugly thing to the bottom most corner of our website.
If you currently have the Blog Rush widget installed on your blog, you will need to remove it ASAP. It doesn't work anymore and will slow down the loading of your web pages.
If you want to continue to follow the drama behind the death of BlogRush and see what else CEO John Reese is up to, follow him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/johnreese. Even though BlogRush didn't work out, he's a smart guy and will land on his feet. John if you are reading this, good luck!

"Our team worked very hard to try and build a service that would truly help bloggers of all sizes get free traffic to their blogs. This was our primary focus. Not once did we ever try to monetize the service with ads or anything else. BlogRush never made a single penny in revenue. We wanted to be able to help our users FIRST and then worry about monetizing the service later. Unfortunately, the service didn’t work out like we had hoped."
