The Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to unveil Dion Phaneuf as the 17th captain in club history on Monday.

Phoenix Technologies, remember those guys? Yeah, us either. Not that we really minded its instant-on OS or anything, but considering that full-fledged operating systems can boot up in under a minute on most machines, they’re kind of a hard sell. Unless you’re selling to HP, of course, which is on somewhat of an acquisition rampage. In fact, Hewlett-Packard hasn’t even filled out the appropriate paperwork to close that Palm deal it entered into last month, and already the company’s dropping another $12 million in order to pick up Phoenix’s HyperSpace, HyperCore and Flip instant-on and client virtualization products. There’s no mention from either company on what exactly HP plans to do with the new code, but considering that this deal is expected to go final by the month’s end, we’re guessing we’ll be finding out sooner rather than later. On the edge of our seats? Oh, you bet.

Well, the PS4 will, presumably, be released at some point in the future. And maybe it will be sooner rather than later. A Youtube account called SCElabs (Sony Computer Entertainment labs, I would think) has posted a pair of videos, one called “PS4 – Playstation 4 – Leaked Viral Video” and another called “PS4 – Playstation 4 – Leaked Launch Trailer,” and, for reasons that don’t need to be explained, my interest has been piqued. Hit the jump for more.

The description on the one labeled “viral” says this: “Leaked clip from a viral campaign for the eventual release of Sony’s Playstation 4.” So there’s no reason to assume the PS4 is imminent unless Sony says so at E3 next week, and these videos may just be elaborate hoaxes anyway.

But even if they are hoaxes, they’re pretty cool and worth the two minutes it takes to watch both of them. So watch them, and then tell us if you think these are legit or not, because I don’t have a clue.
