We have few details. OK, we basically have no details. But Onkyo has announced that they'll be releasing a Blu-ray player "late" this year featuring Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and 1080p video over HDMI. That's it. Not a lot. Oh, and that picture is just of their normal DVD player so don't go smashing your PS3 to bits just yet.

Bill Gates is retiring in a couple of weeks! Oh lordy, the crown prince of Microsoft, retired! What's he going to do with all his free time? He'll be the richest retiree ever, so he'll have plenty of options to fill his days. As you can see, I posit that he'll hang out on the moon. Your challenge: look into the future and see what Gates will be doing. Then, show us your vision in Photoshop form. Send me your entries of your visions of Gates in retirement to contests@gizmodo.com with "Gates in retirement" in the subject line, and next Tuesday I'll pick the winners and post a Gallery of Champions. Get crack-a-lackin'!
OK guys, here's the deal with the meetup: if you want to come watch a sweet minor league ballgame with some Giz editors and your fellow readers, now's your chance. We're going to the Brooklyn Cyclones game on June 28th, which is a Saturday. We'll be getting field box tickets for ourselves, which are $15, so we recommend those, but tickets go down to $8 for bleacher seats if you're so inclined.

Microsoft has announced an entirely new software platform for personal navigation devices, Windows Embedded NavReady 2009. Whereas companies generally program proprietary software for GPS units, Microsoft is now offering software for the hardware—similar to what Windows is to the PC. Featuring maps based upon Live Search along with Bluetooth, MSN Direct and SideShow functionality, the software could bring a lot of PC connectivity options to otherwise autonomous GPSs, as well as increase the number of companies willing to compete in the hardware side of the navigation market.
Here's all the info from Microsoft:

Things went well last night at the Giz and Ars WWDC party. So well, I woke up a little late this morning. If you came, thank you for making it an event full of wonderful, beautiful people. Yes, you too, mysterious ponytail man wearing an Apple shirt! All 7 of you. I met lots of great devs, but there were some people I saw who I didn't get a chance to say hello to like Leah Culver of Pownce, iJustine and Jordan Golson and Megan McCarthy, of ValleyWag fame. Here are some photos, courtesy of commenter BossKev and his amazing Nikon D3 DSLR. (WANT.) Jacqui and Clint from Ars have some photos up on their page, but If you've got extra photos, let me know and I'll put em in the gallery. Nutbastard: thanks for covering my bar tip and making the drive to hang out. [Ars and more from Flickr user Cirne]

Apple's WWDC event is only a couple days away, but if you want to know whether you should take the afternoon off on Monday in order to wait in line for a 3G iPhone, you're going to want to read our liveblog. The official event starts at 10 AM Pacific (1PM Eastern), but we'll be lining up early like we always do, giving live updates of the sweaty journalists and even sweatier developers. Will the 3G iPhone really make an appearance? How about Snow Leopard? Find out next Monday.
