Toshiba announces Excite 10, 7.7 and 13 tablets

Greetings Geeks,

Engadget posted some interesting news today. After Toshiba's Thrive tablets were widely panned by tech reviewers and critics alike, Toshiba decided to go back to the drawing board. The Thrive has dgone the way of the Dodo and Toshiba now brings us the Excite 7.7, 10 and 13.

All three will have NVIDIA's Tegra 3 and Ice Cream Sandwich. The 13-incher steps up to 1600 x 900 resolution (as opposed to 1280 x 800). Both the 10 and 13" sport a full-sized SD slot. However there was no room for full-sized USB and HDMI ports on tablets this thin.

Notice that I kept bolding the 13 inch tablet. I understand that in a lot of cases "Bigger is better" but why would you want such a large tablet? Especially at the hefty price tag of $650 for 32GB or $750 for 64GB? I pose that question to you readers. What do you need a 13" Tablet for?

Price points for the Excite 7.7: $500 for 16GB. $580 for 32GB.
The Excite 10 starts at $500 for 16GB. $530 for 32GB and $650 for 64GB.

Head on over to Engadget for the whole story.

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
