The shapeless dough of the internet, formed into tasty pellets and baked to perfection, just for you.

• The Golden Globes have been sort of cancelled! They'll still be announcing the winners in an hour-long press conference on NBC, but no stars will be there and there won't be any parties or celebrations. It's all due to the writers' strike, of course.
• Speaking of the writers' strike, more and more of the independent studios are making side deals with the WGA in order to get work done.
• Today's CES updates: Sony says it'll be entering into battle with software companies and offering video downloads on the PlayStation Network. Sony also unveiled a new 16GB Memory Stick Pro Duo that will cost $300 when it comes out in March. Future Blu-Ray movies will also include a version of the film optimized for viewing on the PSP, which can be transferred onto the portable device via the PS3. Sony has the worst idea we've ever heard for how to sell DRM-free music. Most interesting, though, is that the PlayStation 2 will be the cornerstone of Sony's plan to compete with the Wii. Is that Sony admitting that the PS3 is a failure or is it just us? We've also got the amusing videos from Bill Gate's keynote that we mentioned yesterday. And watch an interview with France's most famous blogger, who peed next to Bill Gates once (he tells that story at 5:50). In other Microsoft news, here's a list of new titles for the company's Games for Windows endeavor. Nyko has a bunch of fun peripherals coming out this year, and finally, Shiny Shiny takes another look at the sweet R2-D2 DVD projector.
