Halloween's origins date back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, celebrated their new year on November 1.
This day marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that on the night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.

What’s the first rule of bittorent? You will deny any knowledge of us blocking bittorrent. It seems that this whole filtering thing Comcast was trying to pull is getting worse for them by the day.
The third-generation Universal Serial Bus interconnect will transfer data at speeds up to 4.8Gbit/s, ten times faster than USB 2.0's 480MBit/s. It will be backwards-compatible with USB 2.0, which is backwards-compatible with the first USB 1.1 definition.
The gang at Engadget has a copy of Leopard in house and they are doing their best to answer your questions about Apple’s latest OS. Five operating systems in six years is a monumental accomplishment and not just for the obvious reasons. I mean c’mon, getting people to pay $129 a year and go through the hassle of upgrading is pretty impressive.
Market Watch says Nintendo has plans to sell the Wii in China starting next year. While it is still harder than hell to find a Wii in the U.S. (they are snatched up the minute they hit the shelves), the company says it is working on supply issues.

There is an interesting editorial at CNet today on the ever-so-popular topic of Comcast filtering BitTorrent content. There is a good deal of information here for those of you following the story but the author also investigates the legal side of things and seems to think that class action lawsuits may be on the way.
I discussed this issue with Fred von Lohmann, a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Fred stated that "based on [our] own testing, as well as what has been reported, it seems clear that Comcast's techniques are bad for its customers and bad for innovation generally. The fact that Comcast's efforts are reportedly interfering with BitTorrent, gnutella, and Lotus Notes communications makes it clear that they are not narrowly targeted at particular users or protocols."

Shacknews has a bit more information, including a photo from a Target store, the seems to confirm the recent rumors of a $399 PS3. Yeah, it is lacking some of the bells and whistles of the original 60GB units but that price will definitely help Sony sell a few units.
A listing for the rumored $399 40GB backward incompatible PlayStation 3 SKU has appeared in Target store scanners, according to images from Gaming Bits. The news comes after documents that surfaced earlier this month from fellow retailer Best Buy referencing the $399 model as retailing on October 28.

However, "in a marriage or other relationship, one partner could be jealous or consider it infidelity if the other used a robot," Levy said. "But who knows, maybe some other relationships could welcome a robot. Instead of a woman saying, 'Darling, not tonight, I have a headache,' you could get 'Darling, I have a headache, why not use your robot?'"
Printing living cells in 3-D with an inkjet printer? Whoa, I wonder how much those ink cartridges are going to cost.
Scientists already use inkjet cartridges to "print" stem cells into exacting patterns, and now engineers are taking the technology to a whole new dimension — quite literally — by exploring ways to print 3-D structures of cells.

The famous double personality super-hero appears here. Up close it appears that the mild mannered reporter, Clark Kent, is presenting the lovely Louis with flowers. If you step back a few meters, however, Kent's alter ego will emerge.
The beautiful bouquet of roses will begin to recede back, as it is well aligned with the red and yellow "S" icon that spans the front of superman's leotard. The lines that stand to indicate the features of Clark Kent's suit will gradually disappear into superman's brightly colored ensemble.

Electronic Arts is laying out the best part of a billion dollars ($860 million) for BioWare and Pandemic Studios.

The big news of the week was indeed Bungie splitting off, but in this 1UP interview, it was confirmed that they are working on another game based in the Halo universe.
Jarrard: Well we are already at work on another Halo game -- I wouldn't call it "Halo 4", but it is based in the Halo Universe and represents a collaboration between Bungie and Peter Jackson. Halo 3 was definitely not the last Bungie Halo game.
Is it just me or does $600 sound like a lot for a single share (in any company)? To put it in perspective, $12,000 would have bought you 141 stocks when the company went public, now you can get 20 for the same price.
People either love the iPhone…or they they file a class-action lawsuit. There doesn’t really seem to be much middle ground. Just do what I did and order the iPod Touch to replace my aging iPod video (and go along with my Halo 3 Zune) and keep your existing phone / contract, you’ll be much happier.
A woman has sued Kmart for allegedly collecting a 7 percent state sales tax on a nontaxable item: a 12-pack of toilet tissue. Mary Bach alleges a Kmart department store in the Pittsburgh suburb of Monroeville improperly collected the tax on the $3.99 item, charging her $4.27—or 28 cents too much.

A teenager's belly button piercing nearly killed her in a car crash. Cardiff student Jessica Collins underwent three hours of surgery as doctors fought to save her life after the accident in Munich.
The 19-year-old’s small piercing had been pushed through her stomach almost to her spine by her seatbelt during the collision.
What sets Halloween costumes apart from costumes for other celebrations or days of dressing up is that they are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils.
There are also costumes of pop culture figures like presidents, or film, television, and cartoon characters. Another popular trend is for women (and in some cases, men) to use Halloween as an excuse to wear particularly revealing costumes, showing off more skin than would be socially acceptable otherwise.
According to The National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 2006 Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, the top Halloween costumes for children in the United States are:[2]
