The Giants placed leading receiver Amani Toomer on the injured reserve list on Saturday and signed linebacker Tyson Smith from their practice squad.

What is a hip-shaking, Latin Grammy-sweeping superstar to do when she cannot find a suitable stadium to play in Caracas?

An anonymous reader writes “Kotaku is running an article prompted by an email from a foreign student in Japan. The reader unveils the sad reality of the modern gaming industry. Japanese businessmen made ample use of homeless people and Chinese nationals to obtain PS3s for re-sale. There was also a large amount of pushing and shoving, some fights, and almost no police presence at the most crowded stores.” From the article: “Based on my observations of the first twenty PS3s sold at Bic Camera, they were all purchased by Chinese nationals, none of whom bought any software. After making their purchase, television crews asked for interviews but all were declined. These temporary owners of PS3s would then make their way down the street where their bosses waited. After several minutes, a dozen PS3s were rounded up, as their Japanese business manager paid out cash to those who waited in line for them. I witnessed a homeless-looking Chinese man, in his sixties or seventies get paid 20,000 yen for his services and was then sent away.” Update: 11/12 05:40 GMT by Z : You’re right. Sony only shares a portion of the blame here. Offsides on my part.

We’re puzzled by screenshots that are popping up in our discussion (below) of Nintendo’s latest Zelda effort. A number of readers are linking to images (such as this one) that are over 14 months old in an effort to prove the graphical prowess of the latest installment of the Zelda franchise.

In response, we first note that those images are from August 2005. They’re ancient. The Wii doesn’t output images at 1216 x 896 (the Wii produces a 852 x 480 image). Therefore, this image doesn’t come from any production version of Legend of Zelda.

For some real images from the actual game, we’ve provide the following full-resolution (480p) images from Nintendo’s press site. Keep in mind that these have been hand-selected by Nintendo staff to show off the most interesting and/or beautiful parts of the game.

david.emery writes “Wired is reporting that Apple will be replacing Justin Long as its ‘Mac’ in their ‘I’m a Mac/I’m a PC’ ad campaign. John Hodgman, the personification of the PC, is reportedly shooting new commercials.” From the article: “Even people who hate the campaign find their core idea compelling enough to endlessly satirize the series on YouTube. The one enduring criticism of the ads is that John Hodgman’s PC is funnier and more likable than Justin Long’s sleazy hipster doofus Mac. (just what was he saying to that hot new camera from Japan?) Hodgman is a riot (just read “The Areas of My Expertise” if you don’t believe me), but I’m not sure how the new series of ads goes on from here. Is there a new Mac? Does Hodgman become the Mac?”
