We have not heard any news on injured welterweight Anthony Johnson since pulling out of his UFC on Versus 1 grudge match with John “Doomsday” Howard, but a new rumor has surfaced for a return bout and opponent.
The bout is not confirmed at the moment, but according to D wizzle of “Dwizzle’s World”, Anthony Johnson is rumored to be returning to action against U.K star Dan Hardy at UFC 129 at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Canada on April 30, 2011.
Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (8-3) had his three-fight knockout-win streak snapped by Josh Koscheck at UFC 106 by submission (rear naked choke) over thirteen months ago. Johnson injured his knee while training and has not been in the Octagon since.

Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy (23-8) competed for the UFC welterweight title against champion George St.Pierre at UFC 111, in March, but was dominated for five rounds and lost a one-sided unanimous decision. Hardy returned to action as a headliner for the UFC 120 against Carlos Condit, but suffered his second straight loss. Condit and Hardy fired hooks at the same time and Condit landed first and floored the U.K veteran, finishing him at 4:27 of the first round.
At the time of writing this post, this bout has not been confirmed, but you can be sure I will keep you up to date as soon as I find out more. Until then, stay tuned to URDirt.com for the latest info on this rumor.

So the UFC wants Hardy to get KTFO again?

Please, Hardy will beat this clown by submission.

Merry Christmas, retards.

Anyone get any cool shit?

I see Luke got Donkey Kong, which he is unexcited about.

I got a new Droid phone, $75 in gift cards to various restaurants, and a decent pile of cash.

[SPX]

Hmm, Condit vs Rumble. Could be a good fight, but neither fighter needs another loss right now.

I'd have to pull for my boy Hardy, though.

Source: In testing the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees had problems getting the system's facial recognition features to work.
What we heard: Part of Microsoft's $500 million marketing push for Kinect includes positioning it as an accessible entertainment device for all audiences. However, it may be more accessible to some than others.
While testing out the Kinect, two dark-skinned GameSpot employees experienced problems with the system's facial recognition abilities. The system recognized one employee inconsistently, while it was never able to properly identify the other despite repeated calibration attempts. However, Kinect had no problems identifying a third dark-skinned GameSpot employee, recognizing his face after a single calibration. Lighter-skinned employees were also consistently picked up on the first try.
The system's inability to recognize a user only means that he or she would need to sign in manually and some games' features may not work properly as a result. For example, when a second player joins in to Kinect Adventures during the title's drop-in, drop-out multiplayer, the system can't bring up that player's proper in-game avatar automatically if it can't identify the new user first.
If Kinect does have some technical issues related to users' pigmentation, it wouldn't be a first for recognition technology. Last holiday season, users of Hewlett-Packard computers with built-in webcams reported problems with face tracking software.
HP blamed the problem on the webcam's technology, "standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose." It said the system could have problems "seeing" that contrast if there is insufficient foreground lighting.

Anyone see the Walking Dead series that is/was on AMC? Is it any good if you've seen it?

yes and yes. Not usually a fan of zombies at all (I avoid the books, video games, movies at all costs) but this was a really good series. Some friends were talking about it a month or 2 back and I hadn't seen it and avoided it purposely. But a 4 episode marathon was on 1 weekend that I DVR'ed and got hooked. I think it's worth checking out the first few episodes at least to see if it's your cup of tea.
