Harry Potter Caves In For ‘Half-Blood Prince’
As the actor who embodies Harry Potter’s every move, Daniel Radcliffe certainly knows from heroism. There’s the type of courage needed to battle a basilisk, for instance, or the bravery required to face down several dementors. But you can keep your dragon rides and your sorcerers’ duels, insisted Radcliffe, who told MTV News that the scene from the upcoming movie, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” he’s most looking forward to filming is the one in which Harry’s heroism manifests itself in the simple act of telling a friend it’s all going to be ok.
“I’m really looking forward to filming the cave and all the stuff in there with the lake and the Inferi,” Radcliffe enthused. “Me and [Michael] Gambon in a row boat for a few days. It’s gonna be amazing.” (Warning: spoilers ahead for those who haven’t read the book.)

And five other unexpected surprises in Bungie's new game
The game's only been out for a day and already the hater backlash has begun. "Halo 3's story is too predictable," they mutter. "We've done this all before," they whine. "More of the same!" they proclaim smugly to anyone willing - or unwilling - to listen.
We're going to have to disagree. While the entire space saga was clearly designed to fit together comfortably, this third chapter takes some major departures from its predecessors. Some good... some bad... all surprising.
You can't claim you saw these coming. We didn't.

Jena, Race And The N-Word, By Shaheem Reid, Reporting From Louisiana
JENA and from the road, Louisiana — I woke up this morning thinking in the back of my mind, "There's a good chance I'll be called 'n----r' today."
It's come to this, huh? I was racking my brain last night, seriously thinking about the last time somebody had the audacity to call me "n----r" to my face.
Ironically, I had just come from the Jena Six rally in Jena, Louisiana, where about 20,000 people, many of them black, showed love to each other (see "Thousands March On Louisiana Town To Support 'Jena Six' "). "N----r" wasn't even a thought, except when considering the allegations that a white student used the slur on the Jena Six last year. But for somebody to lose his mind and call even one person in that sea of black people such a name was unfathomable.

10 More Future Web Trends
Our post a few weeks ago, 10 Future Web Trends, received a lot of excellent feedback. The most interesting was from people offering alternative future web trends to the ones we had chosen. In fact there were some grumblings that our 10 picks were not futuristic enough - so in this post let's see if we can address that! There's nothing smarter than 'collective intelligence' after all...
From the comments and trackbacks to the original post, plus some hunting around of my own, here are 10 more future web trends

Sex Pistols Reunited for Guitar Hero III
Witness the awesome power and influence of popular gaming. Activision announced today that legendary punk rockers the Sex Pistols reunited to re-record their hit 1977 single, "Anarchy in the U.K," for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Original members John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), Steve Jones, and Paul Cook hit the studio together for the first time in 30 years, hooking up with original producer Chris Thomas to maintain the feel of the recording. Additionally, the original analog sound desk, built in 1969 for producer George Martin at Air Studios in London, was utilized for aural authenticity.
