Social network games maker 
Zynga may postpone its debut on Wall Street, giving the company time to address SEC concerns and ride out the current instability among investors.
The company’s IPO, initially planned for early September, had been looked at as one of the most promising listings of the year, perhaps even moreso than LinkedIn, whose shares more than doubled when they began trading in May.
Halo, the biggest title 
in Microsoft’s software lineup, is venturing into unexplored territory. This fall, for the first time, the game will be playable in 3D.
“Halo: Anniversary” will be offered in stereoscopic 3D when it releases this November. The game, a remake of the original “Halo” from 10 years ago, is the first entry in the series made by a team other than Bungie Software.
The Godfather is 
getting a second go-round in the video game world.
Paramount and game developer Kabam are teaming up to bring the story of the Corleones to social networks, likely including Facebook and Google+ – the first time the series has ventured into the casual gaming space.
Just eight years 
after the music industry experienced one of the most radical shifts in its history, it’s finding itself on the verge of yet another revolution.
The launch of iTunes in April 2003 certainly didn’t introduce digital downloads to consumers (Napster and countless other illegal download sites were thriving at the time), but it legitimized the distribution method and made it profitable for artists and labels. Now Apple — and a host of other companies — are hoping customers are willing to walk away entirely from physically owning the music in their collection in favor of the cloud.
Time Warner Cable is offering
free Slingboxes to subscribers – if they’re willing to pony up for the company’s more expensive Internet service.
The cable/Internet giant plans to offer a complete rebate on the device, which allows people to access their home television (and DVR) from anywhere, to people who subscribe to its Wideband Internet – a service that costs $100 per month.
Amazon and Google caused 
a stir when they launched their cloud music storage initiatives. Rather than following the path Apple eventually would, both companies decided to bypass securing permissions from the record labels, causing quite a tempest in a teapot in the process.
Now it seems the pair have the courts on their side.
As the bidding war for 
Hulu heats up (with Google, reportedly, making a strong push at the end), the impact of networks choosing to delay the online broadcast of episodes is starting to become clear. And it’s not pretty.
Fox recently enacted a policy to wait eight days from the original airdate before putting episodes onto Hulu – unless you had a Hulu Plus or Dishn Network subscription. The immediate result of that appears to be a sharp spike in piracy.
When HP first announced 
the TouchPad, the words “iPad killer” were whispered on a few sites previewing the device. That’s not unusual hyperbole in the tablet world, but HP had integrated Palm’s beloved WebOS onto the system, making it very user friendly.
Today, one month after releasing the TouchPad to retail, Hewlett Packard announced plans to discontinue the device – making it one of the most colossal failures in the tablet space.
Amazon has been the 
perennial bridesmaid to Netflix in the streaming video space for a while now. That hasn’t changed – but the company has hit a notable landmark.
The online retailer’s Instant Video service now has 100,000 movies and TV shows in its library of streaming and downloadable content.
DirectTV’s Sunday Ticket is 
adding something new to its playbook.
The company and Sony have partnered to bring the popular NFL subscription service to the PlayStation 3 – letting subscribers watch the game through their console and giving people who don’t subscribe to the satellite company the chance to subscribe without having to hook a dish to their roof.
