Now that the cat is out of the bag, officially, Microsoft's iPad competitor is now a reality. Coming in with both Arm and x86 variants, will this be what the big MS needs to beat Apple in this market? Not sure about you guys, but my mouth is watering for the x86 version! toss in an Nvidia or AMD video chipset for hardware acceleration for video and photo editing and I'd be in heaven! After the jump we linked the entire press conference thanks to WPCentral!

AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER—THE PROMISE PART 2 HITS #1 ON THE CHARTS! Greetings Geeks, I have a confession. I know I'm going to lose some street cred (like I had any to begin with!) but I've never seen Avatar: The Last Airbender. I know of it. I know it's loved. I did see the movie though. That being said, It looks like I'm going to have to start catching up because the comic book being published by Dark Horse is apparently hot, Hot, HOT! The Promise - part 2 was at the top of the BookScan charts AND the New York Times best seller list! That's pretty awesome!  I've got a full PR after the jump for you.

The Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles are getting put back on the shelf. Indefinitely. Paramount has decided to shelve the Liebesman directed reboot for now. This time there is no sad, thinly veiled attempt at making excuses. No Post-3D conversion or anything like that.
