Guitar Hero. It seems like every time I turn on the TV or peruse the newswires there’s another announcement about this marketing behemoth. You just can’t get away from it. The latest iteration of the amazingly successful multi-console music-based video game, Guitar Hero 5, is hitting the media like a [...]

Well, they’ve finally gone and done it. Energy Star has just announced the latest updates to their program and the focus is on high-definition televisions.
