The Daily Slash: December 6 2010

Heck man, the day started with Nexus S and Android 2.3 Gingerbread and it basically never stopped. You can get yourself a full Gingerbread features list, see how much a Nexus S is going to cost you unlocked at Best Buy or see a full Nexus S review (courtesy of TechCrunch), and have yourself a compare and contrast festival with Nexus S, Nexus One, and Galaxy S courtesy of yours truly. Then Philip Berne writes a column on [A Cartoonish Way to Prevent Cruelty], Don Reisinger brings us a column deciding [Which is better: Short or long video games?], and Slash Brother Number One Ewdison Then does a full [Acer Aspire 5745DG review].SlashHOLIDAY

If you've never witnessed the majesty that is the Star Wars Holiday Special, you're in for a treat. This absolutely magical moment in Star Wars history has an urban legend attached to it that remembers George Lucas as saying "If I had the time and a hammer, I would smash every copy..." Why do we bring this 1978 one-time television event up now? Because TV Guide recently voted it Worst Television Holiday Moment of All Time – and I personally take any excuse available to mention a sociopolitical media extravaganza as wild as this of course, AND this gives me (and us!) the opportunity to present it again to you here now. Hooray!
