I’ve been wanting the iPhone for several months now but my craving finally died down when I saw the latest phone being offered by Sony Ericsson.

Like what I said yesterday, I was really excited for this movie but I was also kinda doubtful that they could make the movie better than the book. To some extent, I was right.

Sony released a set of posters and a trailer for their upcoming Terminator: Salvation movie. I’m not so sure if a lot of you guys here are part of the “Terminator Generation” but to those that are part of it, this movie is about what happens to the war with John Connor in it (played by Christian Bale). While I’m not a big fan of the original Terminator series, I think I’ll end up watching this since I’m really curious as to how this all ends. Here’s the poster pictures. Really catchy if you ask me.
