The new version of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit uses the Kinect mounted on your car's dashboard. The chase scenes are way more exciting, and the cops use real bullets! Replayability, however, suffers greatly.
YouTube isn't going to switch. They'll re-encode every video and serve up H.264 for the clients who support that, and WebM for the rest. And Flash versions for the ones that don't support the video tag.
We have some videos on our site, and we encoded them only in H.264 because the iPad/iPhone support was our main concern. We use a Flash-based viewer for Firefox and other browsers that don't support H.264. Why? We're not going to encode and store different versions of our content. It's a PITA, and with our current solution we support 99% of the users.
You're right, this isn't a Wiimote killer. The Sony Move is an attempt at a Wiimote killer. This is more like the Wiimote + Balance Board (which I own).
Having used the Balance Board, it's got major limitations. There are games which want to you "jump" on the Wii (Snowboarding), but if you actually jump, the game freezes and displays a warning: Do not jump on the balance board. Major gameplay killer.
Kinect sees your entire body and can handle jumping, moving, and more, without a controller. Start a game by moving your hand over the on-screen button. This will be awesome for casual and party gaming, since nobody's controller will be out of batteries.
This isn't a Wiimote killer, it's a game-changer. Microsoft has a hit with this one. Until Sony's mind-reading controller comes out, that is...
Yes. A friend (who works at MS) has a demo unit.
This blows away the Nintendo Balance Board, because you can actually JUMP!
It's better than the Sony Move, because you don't need a stupid looking controller to play it.
It's very accurate at reading your motions in a 3d space. Microsoft has a winner on their hands with the hardware. If they can get some good titles behind this, it's going to be awesome.
Her previous article (posted the previous day, for chrissakes!) is all about an iPhone app that has some of the same permissions as the ones that are "security risks" on the Android:

This is about an app that can REMOTELY WIPE your iPhone! On an Apple, that INCREASES security. On an Android, that could REMOTELY BRICK your phone.
Wow.
I'm using BeyondTV as well. I'm thinking of getting the Hauppauge HD PVR, which takes the HD component output (YPrPb) from the cable box and does H.264 compression, and streams it to your PC via USB. I've probably spent quite a bit on this machine, getting two other tuners, plus a HD HomeRun, but this solution sounds like it will work. It's another $200, but it's not tied to the cableCard monopoly, and it will work with other inputs, like an Xbox 360. Plus if I switch from Comcast to some other provider, it will still work.

You have to do internal testing to find the brown noise, which is the real purpose of project Google Music.
And it's already been plummetting.

The original filing is quite entertaining. He paid $350 to file it. That's a lot of PBR!
His attorney is Jack Thompson.
Thanks again, Florida!

The PS3 Move can detect me rotating my wrist by less than a few degrees, and is accurate down to sub millimeter.
So, it's going to be very popular among the ./ crowd?

This is a question about the article that, if I had actually gone to the link and read the page, I could have answered myself.
You don't leave the keys in the Batmobile when it's outside of the cave. That's just asking for trouble.
Time to say goodbye to the wife and kids...
It surrenders itself immediately!
SUV's don't have trunks!
What, expecting a metric system rant?

I'm not sure I get it. Can you make a car analogy?
So...make a golden parachute out of post-it notes?
I'm not sure which is funnier, the parent post or that it got modded "informative." LOL
I believe they meant in Tetsuo . Common misteak.

Of course, the correct answer to this question would have been "He who smelt it, dealt it". I remain unimpressed.
It's all Internet money. They'll fine them ten million "theoretical" dollars.
