J.J. Abrams is Pitching the John Locke and Ben Linus Show

 J.J. Abrams is Pitching the John Locke and Ben Linus Show

J.J. Abrams is one busy man. Fresh off the news that Alcatraz landed at FOX and Person of Interest found a home at CBS comes news that he is now pitching – are you ready for this LOST fans? – a comedic drama starring Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn (LOST‘s Ben Linus and John Locke) as former black-ops agents. The shows working title is Odd Jobs.

Vulture hears that Abrams and his frequent collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec began pitching the show to networks last week. As the report says, “the involvement of Abrams and other Bad Robot types means there’s a really good chance the project will soon find a home.” As stated above, Abrams has showed just this week that he can garner attention from networks and then seal the deal by getting his shows picked up.

All of us LOST fans know the chemistry the two of these men have on screen, and to get to watch them work together again would be a pleasure. Just imagining the two as new characters, cracking jokes as black-ops agents alone is worth a few laughs. The two have repeatedly both expressed interest in working together since LOST ended, but at that point it was two actors and friends hoping that something would come along for them. Now it looks like their hopes (and ours!) may become a reality very soon.

Are you excited or are you excited?

A comedic drama starring Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn?

Dual-core Android Devices by End of The Year?

Dual-core Android devices: they are the unicorn spit of Android Fan Boy dreams. There have been several claims of truth and “debunking” of those truths for dual-core powered Android devices this year. On one side of the Android Community, well known bloggers and even great pillars of the community stated that a dual core device is not possible by the end of the year. On the other side of this dual-core coin, other websites and discussions have arisen that a dual-core Android device launch is imminent.

All these debates in regards to a dual-core device started when a leaked photo of the GL Benchmark for the HTC Glacier arrived on the scene, with rumors of a dual-core chipset, project emerald relations and unicorn urine. Soon after the HTC Glacier announcement, the community was set ablaze with more rumor of Android dual-core goodness, and for a good reason. As enthusiasts, we want the latest, the greatest and that means cooler, bigger and better screens; more efficient processors and better battery life. Repeatedly, naysayers have stated the HTC Glacier is in no way a dual-core powered Android device. Unfortunately, a recently leaked internal T-Mobile document revealing a “dual processor” MyTouch HD have added fuel to the rumor fire. Once again, these rumors had to be shut down again and again by members of the community who claims to be in the know. For now, the empty promise of dual-core hangs in the air, while everyone awaits for the next best and greatest…

… or do we? On the September 15th Android Show with Scotty Brown, Keyan Mobli from the hardware division of Team Douche explained the technology behind Qualcomm chipsets of now, tomorrow and beyond over-the-air. At the end of the discussion, Scotty asked Keyan about the possibility of a dual-core Android device. Although pessimistic, Keyan stated that it is possible a dual-core device could launch this year. Also standing on this side of the ring is the nVidia Tegra 2 chipset powered devices, which does not have to conform to the QualComm restrictions that Keyan spoke about.

So what does that leave for us? Dual-Core chips on Android are still in the air. As fans, we would love to have these powerful devices as soon as possible. All we can do as enthusiasts is to continue digging for more information. To finish the article, here are some of the best bets for a dual-core Android device this year:

LG Optimus T: This device was leaked in the T-Mobile accessory document by TmoNews. The Optimus T could go both ways, either it’s a low range LG device like the Optimus One or Optimus Chic, or it could be the LG Optimus Tablet/Highend Phone recently announced to be expected fourth quarter of this year.

Viewsonic Tablet: This device is expected to land sometime in October, just in time for my birthday. Sporting a Tegra 2 chipset, and a 1024×600 screen; although priced over $500 it could be the Christmas item every Android geek would love to have under the tree.
