Microsoft Zune HD has hit the net with a bunch of early reviews. Some of the prominent online tech sites have gotten a chance to play with the device and they’ve written a few things about the device. Most of the reviews are positive and think the Microsoft Zune HD has a chance to compete with Apple’s iPod Touch.

Peter Ha, from CrunchGear, says the Mirosoft Zune is a wonderful device but doesn’t do anything special when comparing it to Apple’s iPod Touch. He also points out that he didn’t get a chance to play with the latest firmware, so some of the features weren’t as sleek or intuitive.

Nobody covers video games quite like G4. Sure, they have good, all-encompassing content, but what really sets G4 apart from the flock of gaming media is their stable of super hotties they’ve hired to give you the gaming goods. To honor these badass beauties, we’ve put together this collection of The Gorgeous Girls of G4 TV.

Alison Haislip

Blond super-cutie, Alison Haislip is a serious gaming gal from the classy state of New Jersey! She ended up on Attack of the Show after she was discovered while bartending by a G4 exec. So let’s get this straight: Hot, loves video games, and knows how to properly pour a Guinness? Welp, the search is over, fellas. We found The One.

Olivia Munn

Queen of all the geek goddesses, Olivia Munn is probably the only thing anyone who doesn’t play tons of video games knows about G4. The Attack of the Show host is the obsession of gamers everywhere, and has recently exploded into the mainstream, having recently appeared in Playboy. And if you ask us, the more Olivia Munn, the better.

Morgan Webb

Before hosting G4’s “X-Play,” brunette beauty, Morgan Webb cut her teeth in the gaming world hosting the podcast, WebbAlert, and also writing a gaming column in FHM called “Tips From the Gaming Goddess.” And with a title like “Gaming Goddess,” it’s no surprise she’s ended up on TV.

Kristen Holt Adams

Cheat! host, Kristin Adams has a serious hot girl resume. While in college at Texas Christian University, Adams (then with the last name, Holt) became a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. She then made the semi-finals in the first season of American Idol, and was hired as a correspondent for the second season. She’s also appeared as a Stuff Magazine cover girl. It’s just too bad Cheat! has been cut down to a few minute segment – we could stare at miss Adams for hours!

Anna David

Twitter ID: annabdavid

Not your average gamer girl, sexy stunner, Anna David is a journalist that’s written for publications ranging from The Los Angeles Times to Playboy, covering everything from sex and relationship advice to crystal meth and prostitution. Along with her writing, Anna tackles viewers’ sex questions on AOTS’s “In Your Pants” segment.

Blair Butler

Twitter ID: theblairbutler

Out of all the hotties on this list, Blair Butler is a true nerd. On top of being an “avid” comic book fan, the 31-year-old host of the “Fresh Ink” segment on AOTS, is also a stand-up comic, having appeared on such shows as Comedy Central’s “Premium Blend.” Blair got her start at G4 as head writer for “X-Play,” but soon found herself on the other side of the camera.

Jade Raymond

When it comes to real gaming chops, Jade Raymond is your girl. This smiley stunner broke into the gaming world as a game producer for companies like EA, IBM and Sony Online. Nowadays, in addition to producing kick ass, highly addictive games, she’s interviewing gaming industry insiders, and finding out about the hottest in gaming news. The hottest in gaming girls, however, she’s left to us…

Carissa Walford

Bodacious blond babe, Carissa Walford is the latest smokeshow to infiltrate the G4 arena, as guest host of Attack of the Show. The saucy Aussie has made a name for herself already by performing her AOTS duties almost entirely in a bikini. Which, when you have a practically perfect body, is definitely the best way to go.

There’s no mistake, Apple is in hot water with their App Store inclusion/rejection process but some of the rejected were just plain bizarre. The most recent one that’s got the FCC investigating Apple, is the Google Voice app, but before then, Apple had faced criticism from the public on various apps that were included and/or rejected. Here are the 10 most controversial iPhone apps to date.

This morning, we came across what has to be the sweetest internet radio station of all-time: 1015thepole.com. No, you’re not going to find your favorite indie bands on here, you f**king hipsters. What you are going to get is non-stop stripper tunes that’ll send you straight back to that night you got the clap. I mean, the name of the radio station is The Pole! Jesus Christ…

On top of the strip club music, The Pole also provides you will all your stripper wants and needs, like pictures of strippers, interviews with strippers and a g*ddamn employee bathroom webcam. These guys mean business. So if you don’t have time (or the permission) to hit up your local strip club, just tune into The Pole – it’s damn-near as good.

The dudes from Entourage were wrong about Facebook. A few days ago we wrote a post about the two characters from Entourage bashing Facebook, saying it’s for kids. A new study from Ofcom, a media regulator, says kids aged 15 to 24 think social networking sites are lame. What’s causing this trend? Well it’s the older crowd, the 25-years and older, that’s pushing the younger kids away from social networking sites.

Fifty percent of 15 to 24-year olds continue to use social networking which is a 5% drop since the start of last year. In contrast, there’s a 6% increase in the usage among 25 to 34-year olds, now with a total of 46%.

Peter Phillips, Ofcom’s head of strategy, says kids haven’t really left the sites but are spending less time on them, “There is nothing to suggest overall usage of the internet among 15-to 24-year-olds is going down, data suggests they are spending less time on social networking sites.”

Cell phones were once developed to allow phone call without wires and from anywhere within a connection. Since then, the evolution of the cellular phone has created today’s modern day cellular phone aka the smartphone. But smartphones are also continuing to evolve into computer like devices capable of doing things we could have dreams of a few years ago.

For smartphones to become what they are now, there had to be pioneers, the most iconic cell phones, the ones that have paved the way for today’s advanced mobile handsets. Let’s a look at 10 of the most iconic cellular phones that have helped shape today’s smartphone.

As an iPhone user, it can sometimes seem like every other person on Earth also has an iPhone. But it turns out that one very important demographic has shunned the nifty touch screen device: hot chicks. To document this strange phenomena, our friends over at Ziggytek.com have compiled the 12 hottest “Hollywood” stunners who’ve turned their backs on Apple for the Blackberry.

With the recent rumors of a new tablet coming soon from Apple, we were salivating at the thought of what the tablet could possibly look like (if it looks like the picture above from ZDnet, then I’m all for it). Before Apple releases the tablet to the public, here’s a few things the Apple Tablet should offer.

Check out the 5 Things We Want The Apple Tablet to Offer, here!

Financial Times is hopping on the Apple rumor bandwagon. They’re reporting that Apple will be launching an internet tablet in September. FT is also saying Apple is partnering with music giants to provide videos and liner notes bundled with the new device. Of course that wasn’t enough, Apple is apparently going to be targeting both Amazon and Barnes & Noble, for a share of the eBook and eBook reader market.

We here at COED have long thought that AT&T was a giant pile of steaming sh*t, based purely on our cell phone service: constant dropped calls, disappearing voicemail, geriatric-like 3G speeds in New York.

But it seems the retarded behemoth of communication has now pissed off pretty much everyone – by effectively censoring the Internet.

The conspiracy started after AT&T blocked threads on the cesspool of the Internet, 4Chan.org, who’s responsible for about 90-percent of the online memes you know and love (LOLCats, Rick Rolls, etc…).

Claiming it was protecting its customers from a DDoS attack, AT&T disallowed traffic to 4Chan’s popular threads, /b/ and /r9k/. This came after a campaign on 4Chan and Digg to spread false rumors that AT&T CEO, Randall Stephenson was found unexpectedly dead outside his home.

To thicken the conspiracy, popular posts about the 4Chan block were mysteriously removed from the front page of Reddit.com.

The 4Chan block has now been lifted. But still, this DDoS attack claim is obviously bullsh*t, what with the false rumors and all.

Now, since AT&T’s communications infrastructure is so vast, pretty much all online activity goes through AT&T in one way or another – so you’re probably not going to be able to stop using all AT&T services altogether, without – gasp – quitting the Internet. But if you can stop giving them money directly, now would be the time.

UPDATE: According to an officially released statement from AT&T, the censorship of 4Chan was nothing but some good ol’ parental protection:

“Beginning Friday, an AT&T customer was impacted by a denial-of-service attack stemming from IP addresses connected to img.4chan.org. To prevent this attack from disrupting service for the impacted AT&T customer, and to prevent the attack from spreading to impact our other customers, AT&T temporarily blocked access to the IP addresses in question for our customers. This action was in no way related to the content at img.4chan.org; our focus was on protecting our customers from malicious traffic.

Overnight Sunday, after we determined the denial-of-service threat no longer existed, AT&T removed the block on the IP addresses in question. We will continue to monitor for denial-of-service activity and any malicious traffic to protect our customers.”

The tech blogs seem to be accepting this statement as the truth. But since it, you know, came from AT&T, I’m not so sure…

UPDATE 2: PCMag.com is reporting that, ironically, the DDoS attack that AT&T claims was coming from 4Chan.org was actually directed at 4Chan.org.

…unWired, a different ISP [from AT&T], states on NANOG (North American Network Operators Group, an insider discussion board for ISPs) that they also had to block 4chan to mitigate the effects of a DDOS attack. Other ISPs on the discussion disagree, especially on a wide scale blocking of the site. 4chan’s “history of pulling pranks” also seems to have figured into this. The DDOS, ironically, seems to be an attack on 4chan. From my Verizon FiOS connection in New Jersey I can get to 4chan, but it’s very slow. [Emphasis added]
