Must See HDTV (May 14th – 20th)
This week we’re completely overrun by season finales — if there’s a winter show that you watch that is still airing, it’s a safe bet that it will be wrapping up its run this week. Check after the break break for the dates and times on those as well as NBA and NHL playoffs action plus Blu-ray and videogame releases (we couldn’t ignore Diablo 3 ), but there’s just one finale we’re highlighting this week. Community Even with the good news that NBC has ordered up (at least) 13 more episodes for next season, we’ll be sad to see Greendale’s study group leave for the summer

Samsung Galaxy S III battery tested by GSMArena, lasts as long as your tablet
Samsung made much ado over the Galaxy S III’s 2,100mAh battery, but we’ve been wondering whether or not that power pack was a major perk or just a necessity to offset that hefty Exynos 4 Quad . One of what looks to be a growing number of escaped pre-release devices was put through the ringer in battery tests and came out looking spic-and-span: it lasted for just over 10 hours for video and voice, or long enough to make even a tablet like the new iPad or Transformer Prime break a sweat
