This past Saturday, The People vs. George Lucas debuted at South by Southwest Film, ladling out a healthy dose of righteous Star Wars nerdrage upon one of the farthest-fallen figures in the geek pantheon.

Yesterday, Robert Rodriguez treated SXSW audiences to a two-minute sneak peek at Predators, the 2010 reboot to the Predators franchise that we dearly hope does not disappoint us, even though Alien vs. Predators permanently scarred us. Then again, Rodriguez is producing it and Adrien Brody is one of the stars — and the sneak peek hits the right notes, we think. Judge for yourself, after the jump:

With the recent launch of Twitter’s Geolocation API, every social startup worth its rackspace has been moving in the direction of locational applications. Now, Nicholas Carlson at Silicon Alley Insider seems to have inside confirmation that Facebook is working on adding capabilities for “checking into” to physical locations through its mobile service. Will parents soon know every time a college freshman hits up a frat party? Will your boss question your frequent trips to the free clinic? Will your significant other notice your repeated, um, “visits” to their best friend’s apartment?
