Mall offers few stores, but many activities
Next time you’re in Orlando and want something different to do or take the kids to, check out the Festival Bay Mall on International Drive. There may be a lot of empty storefronts, but some of the ones that are there are really cool, and offer many activities.

Croc Hunter toys at Ron Jon
While I was at the Festival Bay Mall in Orlando yesterday I stopped in the Ron Jon Surf Shop and was surprised to see a number of cool toys. I saw stuffed monkeys that scream when you fling them high in the air, surfer action figures and these… Crocodile Hunter action figures and playsets. The large one was coolest. He says one of many phrases when you push one of his pockets. I was tempted to buy it, but I already have enough toys filling my office.
TweetTransformers Movie Optimus Prime Figure
From action-figure.com:
For thousands of years, OPTIMUS PRIME and his AUTOBOTS have traveled through space in search of the Allspark. For all that time, the AUTOBOT leader has held one goal in mind – to protect the universe from the evil of MEGATRON. For this massive, metal warrior, nothing is more important than freedom; he will sacrifice all for its preservation. He has fought for centuries, modifying his body into an unstoppable war machine, preparing for that day he knows is coming when he and MEGATRON meet for one final battle!
Get ready to rule the universe with this awesome OPTIMUS PRIME figure that features Advanced AUTOMORPH Technology! This TRANSFORMERS technology is designed to enhance vehicle-to-robot conversion with partially animated mechanical triggers that activate the final shift to battle mode. See armor slide to protect vital points! Flip down the Ion Blaster in robot mode to launch the projectile! And press the button in vehicle mode for electronic horn sounds and lights!
2 AA Batteries Included
Transformers Movie Leader Optimus Prime is due for release on Saturday June 2nd which is the day that Transformers Movie toys will go on sale across the US. He will retail for $39.99
This new AUTOMORPH sounds great, if it works. I can’t wait to see the “partially animated mechanical triggers” complete with sound effects. How long before we get a fully automatically transforming Transformer? ;)
I will DEFINITELY be in line on June 2nd to buy this and the other new figures.
Be sure to click this link to see more pictures of the new Optimus Prime toy along with various other Transformers items. This is sure to be a great line.
TweetDigg.com in Chaos. [Update]
If any of you are regulars at Digg.com, you may have noticed a revolt going on, that has just taken a huge burst the last couple of hours.
It all started when the mods at Digg.com deleted a story which contained a code that broke the encryption on HD-DVDs (It’s Microsoft, you knew there was a way). Anyways, after this occured, they began censoring comments containing the code, etc.
It has turned the once ‘For the people, by the people’ website that digg held into complete chaos. Now people are creating stories with the code, and the entire front page is covered, take a look yourself.
Article taken from: http://yro.slashdot.org/
“Digg is imploding today. Literally. The site’s million plus users have turned on Digg’s management, covering the entire site with an HD-DVD encryption key that the moderators were fighting to remove. You can’t even submit a story right now, and frequent 404 errors mean that Digg is actually Digging itself, with too many votes and submissions to handle.”
Pretty crazy if you ask me…
[Update]
Seems like Wikipedia has also taken down the HD-DVD and ‘The Numbers’ sites from being edited…
From: Wired.com
TweetWired blogged the cracked processing key for HD-DVD (you’ve seen it: “09 F9 11 02 …”) nearly three months ago, but The Number’s power still grows. Today, the Wikipedia page named for it has been locked to prevent the former secret from being posted again. The page on HD-DVD is locked, too, to keep out The Number. Wikipedia’s isn’t the only takedown: Digg earlier removed what’s been said to be the site’s all-time top post.
What a waste of time. Piracy is bad, yes, but does anyone really think the magic sequence is going to vanish from the Internet, or even become hard to find? Throw in the towel, folks.
