Must See HDTV (May 14th – 20th)
This week we're completely overrun by season finales -- if there's a winter show that you watch that is still airing, it's a safe bet that it will be wrapping up its run this week. Check after the break break for the dates and times on those as well as NBA and NHL playoffs action plus Blu-ray and videogame releases (we couldn't ignore Diablo 3), but there's just one finale we're highlighting this week.

German court tells Microsoft to stop selling Xbox 360s
A German court in Mannheim ruled earlier this morning that Microsoft has actually infringed upon Motorola Mobility’s patents, and hence have requested Microsoft to stp selling their hugely popular Xbox 360 gaming consoles as well as Windows 7 operating system from the German market. Considering how Germany has one of the strongest economies in the whole of Europe, this sales ban will definitely cast a heavy pall upon Microsoft executives. The Redmond company claims that this particular ruling means otherwise – ...

Google Extends Free US and Canada Domestic Calling through 2012
Google is doing it again and has made VOIP calls from GMail free for the USA and Canada through 2012. It’s Google’s gift for the Holidays and Google also reminds everyone that it also offers calls to the rest of the world at rates that it calls “insanely low”.

Having a gesture-detecting peripheral for Xbox 360 and plans for a refined PC version of Kinect isn't enough for Microsoft. It wants Kinect to become the new remote control from the moment you unbox your new TV.

Skyrim goes gold – time to polish those swords
Ready to slay some dragons in Bethesda’s upcoming RPG, The Elder Scrolls v: Skyrim? Well you better be, because the developer has just announced on its blog that the game has gone gold – one week ahead of its official release date.
