They didn't mention the iRobot. This thing was shown at Comdex. Its robot that is controlled via a web browser. The robot runs on linux, uses a wireless connection.. there are a bunch of specs at the site.
GORILLAS! The game that came with qbasic for MS-DOS long ago... its gonna make a comeback now that I can easily port it to PS2!
If you have never played GORILLAS.. here is the premise. Two gorillas are perched up on top of big buildings on either side of the screen. Each player is gets a chance to throw a big ass bananna at the other player by inputing an angle and speed. First player to hit the other wins.
Good to know that we finally have the technology to bring such a game to a home system.
There is a simple solution here..kidsporn This domain can do two things.. satisfy the needs of perverts and fight crime! Perverts can have all the nasty domains they want, meanwhile it will make the tracking of child pornography offenders REALLY EASY!
All these networks guessing with 30% of precincts reporting... its easy to start calling states just to make the race look close. Wonder why they would do something like that?
This is easily done in Flash. Here is a demo of the concept in action. Drag the items (a,b,c,d) to the cart and the price and quantities will be updated.
I heard Kalisto has ties with Microsoft and is hacking the DC and PSX2 to bring down Sega and Sony sales so that XBox can skate in and grab hold of the video game market. Interesting theory at least...

Except for the fact that it has an 85% marketshare... who cares if solaris is the only unix flavor to back it? Do your mom and dad use unix, does aunt patty use unix, your girlfriend? (if your answer to the above are yes --expecially the girlfriend one-- then I am sorry about your luck).

Ebay's defense be dat he be 'disruptin' de normal course uh conduct.' Dis could be some great precedent, fo'/. at least, and maybe would give someone incentive t' go afta' spammers (o' even phone solicitors.)" Bein' dat Ebay be some private, voluntary enterprise, aint dis some bit likes ax'ing some federal judge t' keep de neighbors' dog out uh ya' yard? Sounds likes de usa' gots'ta already been banned -- by Ebay. Slap mah fro! Puh'haps whut dey really wants' be some restrainin' orda'?
It would be my hope that Intel is better than that... after dealing with years of abuse from Microsoft, I hope they don't stoop to the same level of eliminating competition.
I don't understand why all the major networks haven't decided to broadcast online. What do they have to lose? They broadcast over publicly accessible airwaves.. why not broadcast over the internet?
Forget Marvel vs. Capcom.. if anyone owns the first one for Dreamcast (as I do) they are most likely dissapointed. I think I've seen better graphics and a better frame rate on my SNES.. now the game to watch for is Street Fighter III: Double Impact.. this is the real deal.. the next installment in the best line of video games ever.
I too was in awe of the low price on the glasstron glasses. So much so that I ran to my local sony store to buy them. Before forking over my hard earned cash, I decided to test them out. Here are Dr. Gerbik's findings on the matter:
Sony boasts that the glasses present you with a 52" screen that is about 6 feet in front of you. Here is what I saw. A 5 inch lcd screen 4 inches in front of me. I was impressed however with how the two lcd screens blended together as one. I was expecting to see some sort of line down the middle, or some overlapping.. nothing, it looked like one single screen.
As for resolution, I thought it lacked. I demoed the glasses with a DVD copy of "A bugs life" The best way to put it would be to imagine watching the movie in a 240x160 window on your desktop. The LCD just couldn't push the kind of resolution needed to make the movie look good.
In the end, they were neat. $500 neat? I decided not. I went home with some blank minidiscs in my shopping bag.. but no glasses. I would love to try the high resolution pair, but I'll definately be waiting on the price to drop... a lot.:)

I say there.. whats that coming out of her nose? The new VIAO....? Oh shit! There goes the planet!
Could it be true? Sony mass marketing the evil step-brother of Apple's iBook? This could mean the end of it all...

A 4 page review of apple's new mouse... must be a slow news day over at CNN.
Wow.. that is news. Licenses for the altavista engine start at about $20,000.. The go.com engine could save you some bucks..
