With a sliding economy video games are starting to prove their staying power. Many economist thought that this would happen, but since the video game industry is failry young it has not seen an economy down fall such as this.

The good news: video games, consoles and game accessories hit $1.12 billion in May, a 37 percent rise over the same month last year, driven by the chart-topping “Grand Theft Auto” video game.  Even though the up trend is pushed by a video game, there was an increase in sales in hardware as well.

The video game industry is hoping to make $21 to $23 billion dollars this year, despite a weak economy.

Built to last and to not disappoint, many cell phone upgrades are now going to the Blackberry.

The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is no different. This model - like other Blackberry’s - has a strong customer fan base.  People often act like the Blackberry is the best thing that has ever happened to them, not so with the iPhone. The slow processor lack of third party software, leave iPhone users disgruntled.

The next round of Balckberry’s are just around the corner. Soon the BlackBerry Bold will be released. Same ole blackberry, but with a  faster processor and a larger screen. Good luck dragging a blackberry user away from that!

Until iPhone supports popular software like Outlook, Blackberry with continue to blow iPhone out of the water.

When is the media going to stop? Before Obama had won the Democratic slot, the media was announcing that he was definitely the winner. What? They can’t decide that? But, they did. No matter what would or could have happened pat the point of all the major news papers have decided who would run for the Democratic party. IO wonder if they are going to decide for Obama who his running VP will be?

The media has too tight of a hold on the US. We should count ourselves lucky since we do have media access from other places and the government does not control everything we see, read, and hear. However, this does not give the media the right to say certain decisions have been made when they have not. The media needs to report the truth - it is their duty - and not jump the gun.

What do you think:

Does the media really control us? Do they push decisions to be final before they really are? Do you think the media needs to have more rules and regulations?
