Google release date guesser, live in a search bar near you

Try it now; searching for games or movies in Googles awesome search box should give you a "best guess" for the release date of that item.

It even quotes the sources (via an expandable menu) - which is pretty awesome. It works by crawling the net and finding dates mentioned next to products, the more it gets the more accurate and "best" it rates it - certain websites are also weighted favourably - such as IMDb, and Wikipedia.

UltraViolet Blu-Ray DRM; watching your films anywhere just got real.

Ringing a bell? You know you've heard of UltraViolet somewhere before, right?


UltraViolet is a DRM. Don't panic. It's the great kind. The kind of DRM that makes us all happy.


Imagine, you buy a BD disc. You scratch it. Game over - you want to watch again, you're gonna need to buy again.


What if you own a BD, but you're on holiday with you're 3G enabled device and you fancy watching said BD? Tough stuff. You're gonna need to buy again to download, or rent a stream.


Picture a world where you can watch you're bought films anywhere. If you buy a Blu-Ray disc, you can watch the disc, stream it online, download a copy to your laptop - get a smaller file for your mobile...


...Sounds great, doesn't it!


Head past the break if you'd like that particular dream to come true.
