You shouldn’t kick someone when they are down, but that is just what Lulz Security has done by breaking into SonyPictures.com. It claims to have stolen the personal information of over 1,000,000 users, stored in plain text format.

Lulz says that it was done with a simple SQL injection. Part of the group’s exploit is even posted online in a RAR file, which contains over 50,000 emails and passwords of users. Poor Sony. They just can’t catch a break. The Playstation store was only just restored and now this.

Paramount Digital Entertainment has announced that it will be bringing ten new movies exclusively to Windows Phone 7. The first of these films are available to download today, from the Windows Phone Marketplace. The new Silverlight Enhanced Movie applications will allow users to watch, share and interact with popular Paramount Pictures movies.

A new movie app will launch every week and these include : True Grit, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Waiting For “Superman,” The Last Airbender, Zoolander, Gi Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, Beowulf and The Italian Job. They will be available in the U.S., Canada, UK, France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Most of those are not the best movies and not that new, but at least there should be something for everyone to like.

Good news movie lovers. YouTube has confirmed that starting today it will add rughly 3,000 new movie titles for rental in the US, as well as reviews and behind the scenes extras. NBC Universal, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. are the new studios that YouTube is partnering with to add these new and catalog releases. It will double the amount previously available.

Pricing is $2.99 and $3.99 for movies viewed via your PC or Google TV. There was no mention of other devices supported. And though YouTube supports resolutions up to 4K, “most” of the new additions are in SD, which is kinda sad. Still, at least you have more choice than you did before.

RIM has been keeping pretty quiet about how long their upcoming tablet’s battery life is, but now some leaked screenshots of the tablet’s “Battery Assistant” app are shedding some light on the issue. If these pictures are the real deal, then we won’t have to worry about the tablet’s battery life. It is amazing.

They show the tablet at 50% battery life and the indicator says that it can last another 8.5 hours of web surfing. If 50% is 8.5 hours, then that means that the tablet will be able to surf the web for 17 hours on a full charge.

Prices and release dates for the HTC Merge and Droid Bionic are still unknown, but you can at least start thinking about the accessories. That’s because Best Buy’s mobile accessories site is now listing both phones, with pictures.

There is no new info about the handsets themselves, but this must mean a release very soon. Head on over to the Best Buy site and have a look for yourself. At least you can start shopping for add-ons.

Google has launched its official Blogger App and released it to the Android Market. It allows you to easily publish posts with pictures, labels and location information directly to your Blogger blog from your Android device. It requires Android 2.1 and up.

The app also makes it easier to manage several websites with support for multiple sites allowing you to easily switch between blogs within the app when you need. There’s also an offline feature that lets you write posts even when a data connection isn’t available. Photos taken on your smartphone camera can be imported directly to your posts as well and uploaded straight from your Android phone.

Gorenje’s iChef oven sports some finger-friendly controls and it’s more than just time and temperature. It has sixty-five preset dishes it can cook automatically, 150 slots for you to program your own, and you can even bake in three separate stages for those who actually know how to cook.

The touchscreen is filled with pictures of food to make it even easier. The oven hits Europe this spring for a crazy amount of money that neither you or I can afford.

A tipster sent some internal renders of HP / Palm’s “Topaz” webOS tablet to the folks over at Engadget, which is one of two tablets currently developed by HP/Palm. The two tablets are the 9-inch Topaz and a 7-inch model codnamed Opal. As you can see in the render, it sports the no-button design, a front-facing camera, a micro USB port on the bottom, and what looks like a three speaker arrangement.

Word is that units will start to arrive at Palm HQ in June, with a launch later this year. The WiFi-only, AT&T 3G, and Verizon LTE versions of the Opal should arrive in September 2011, and on AT&T LTE in July 2012. No info on pricing yet.

Crayola and Griffin have teamed up to create a new coloring experience for artists, whether young or older. They have basically taken the wax crayon into the digital age. The ColorStudio HD iPad app lets you color and interact with animated coloring book pages that move and react as you are coloring them. It combines photos and user created pictures with animations, music, sound effects, and other special effects.

The iMarker digital stylus can be used as a marker, crayon, pen, or even a paintbrush and works with the iPad’s multi-touch display. Kids will have a lot of fun with this one.

The PlayStation Phone has been sighted. A video of the phone in action has surfaced from Greece. Sadly, we don’t get to see the phone showing off its slider game pad, but judging by previous pictures this seems like the real thing. It’s one half portable gaming console, one half Android smartphone.

It’s called the Sony Ericsson Z1 and is powered by Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The 4-inch touchscreen has been said to offer great responsiveness. Check out the video below.

iFixit loves to tear down each and every gadget. Now they have put the Samsung Galaxy Tab on the operating table. What did they learn? Well, the removal of that pane of Gorilla glass turned out to be the trickiest part, requiring a lot of heat and a bit of prying.

It eventually came off and the teardown proceeded. The operation was a complete success. Hit the link below for pictures of the entire teardown.

Vertu’s QWERTY keyboard Constellation Quest has just gotten a thumbs up from the FCC. There are the usual pictures, but there’s also a detailed manual that shows the phone to be running a heavily skinned version of Symbian.

Some other specs include HSDPA data and WiFi, and Vertu is even packing it with a 32GB microSD card. We don’t have all of the details however, like when it will hit stores and how outrageously priced it will be. But at least luxury handset enthusiasts have something new to swoon over.

LG‘s Optimus 7 handset has had its official press shots released unto the world. Or should we say leaked? The Windows Phone 7 device will apparently be capable of writing your text messages, emails and status updates just by hearing you speak.

It has a 3.8-inch, 800 x 480 screen, a 1500 mAh battery, 16GB of built-in storage and a 1GHz processor. Word is that there is also an “automatic panorama” feature where you pan the camera to take stills and stitch them together.

Dell’s upcoming Looking Glass 7-inch tablet wasn’t showing off in pictures when Michael Dell took it out the other day, but now a video of the event has surfaced, so we now have a better look at this Android device.

We can see a volume rocker on the side of the device, as well as a headphone jack, a possible PDMI connector port (like the Streak), and a switch that might be for rotation or to lock it. The device shows up after 1:27 in the video below.
