Maybe if Sony actually released some new games for the PSP after launch people wouldn't be so eager to hack it up! Did they expect us to play the same 3 decent games for 5 months straight? Well, I guess all those GBA games I'll be able to run now will count as new games!
"Spamalot" is a fun show, but felt that many of the best parts were the original bits NOT from the movie. It more than made up for all the stuff they left out.
I think that is the secret to making a movie like Hitchhikers well. The stuff you add to it to make it viable in a different medium (broadway, movie, video game) HAS to be better or at very least on par with the stuff that got cut. Unfortunately that doesn't sound like it's the case, however I'll give my $10 to find out for myselg.. it can't be worse than Episode I or II right?
Tiles is fun, it's been around for a while and there have been some good results. I personally prefer single-piece collaborations for a more cohesive product, but this sort of "exquisite corpse on crack" approach can often be really surreal or hilarious. Keep it up!
Oh and I used to run that other ANSi / VGA group, CIA (creators of intense art.. stupid acronym i know but i didn't make it up!:)
What's to stop you from scanning 1/4 of a bill at a time and reassembling it? What about all of those drivers and software pre-anti-counterfitting? What about analog copying?
The whole "you can't scan this bill" program seems like a complete waste of taxpayer money and puts an unnecessary burden on software makers. Why didn't they take that money and invest it in making the bills themselves more secure like many European and Asian bills?
These latest revisions are a step but it's still pretty easy to print up counterfits and pull a fast one on some unsuspecting shop owner.
I wonder what they're planning on building these out of. I live a few hundred yards away from the east river in brooklyn and everything in the water for more than a day has the odd tendency to melt... or mutate.
...don't you spend a good portion of your day looking at your 72DPI monitor? This would be about 2 1/2 times sharper than the text you are reading now. I think your eyes will do just fine.
I seriously doubt that, especially considering the fact that at e3 Half-Life2 was presented exclusively by ATI in a giant ATI themed booth.
While there are plenty of initially console specific exclusives such as Halo and GTA3, I sure as hell hope we don't start seeing a bunch of graphics chipset exclusive games... Although as competition heats up and cash starts flowing from the card manufacturer PR departments to some cash-strapped game dev companies, who knows what will happen.
I second the Leisure Suit Larry mention, but for entirely different reasons:) I was quite young and impressionable when LSL came out, and it had that fantastic Sierra type-based interface. To this day I'm convinced that playing all that Leisure Suit Larry is how I learned to type (with both hands, perv).
Seriously.. if the Iraqis want to know exactly where a lot of US troops are, what they're doing, and where thery're going, all they need is a TV with CNN, Fox News or MSNBC.
I'm all for freedom of information, but the ammount of apparently strategically useful information being flooded over public airwaves is a bit disturbing.
It was actually a pretty neat little unit, playing the same games as the home sytem, and I believe you could also watch TV on it! I often mourn the loss of the PC Engine/TG16 systems, they were ahead of their time. They 'got it right' before people could really appreciate (afford?) it.. backlit screens, cross-hardware games, cd-rom storage, multifunction hardware, Bonk!
I wonder if Nintendo studied the LT or if they just took a page from more recent flip-up cell phone design when working on this one.
This Stippling is exciting and refreshing! While like most modern Hollywood fare it suffers from thousands of tiny plot holes, the main concept remains evident throughout. The best stippling of the Summer! Take the kids!
Here at nickelodeon we still author and produce content in Flash 5 to ensure maximum compatibility, both cross-platform and for those with un-updated browsers. Its amazing how many people buy a PC and never bother upgrading any software, drivers, etc, until they buy another PC:)
We keep track of Flash 6(MX) adoption rates across the board and won't switch development until it is supported by a very large percentage of visitors (90-95% or so, not entirely sure.. I'm an artist, not the techdev people).
So for the sites of major players it (hopefully) won't be a problem, as they tend to lag behind a bit to allow people to catch up. We (and other sites) also offer alternate content for people without Flah, you can get to our site and do/see many things. However, since our content is comprised mostly of animation and games, Flash really is a must-have for kids.

Well you just mentioned Newspapers. Lets say instead of buying a newspaper every day at say, $.40 a day (averaging in weekend editions), you signed up for a free new service and synced the daily headlines and stories onto your new cheap Palm.
In just about 8 1/2 months the Palm would have paid for itself, and saved several trees in the process. (No idea how many fossil fuels were burned to recharge it though:) ).
Hundreds of hackers will be too busy clamoring for autographed copies of Busty Bunny Crime Fighters #1 to even attend!...or hundreds of comic book geeks will be too busy hacking their credit accounts at the local comic shop to get their books signed?

MP3 for Gameboy

You forgot NEC's Turbo Express (TG16/PCEngine)... dead. BUT it was one of the most successful early handhelds, especially in japan where its parent system PCEngine enjoyed a majority marketshare in its time.
I still own a TGExpress and it's great. It's screen clarity, sharpness and brightness has yet to be matched, and the fact that it plays the same games as the system it's based on (like the later, also failed, Sega NOMAD) is really great IMO.
It had an addon TV Tuner, since MP3's weren't around then. That was a pretty great feature for it's time though.
I really hope they make some sort of soundtrack announcement. As several of you have mentioned that NIN soundtrack really nailed the feeling of Quake and added tremendously to the game. I'd gladly welcome another NIN effort for Doom III... or how about Ministry this time?

I remember hearing that being the title when I was younger. Was that something Mel said once or just some random rumor that spread?
Don't lie. I'm using it right now on my Windows box and I can see into your closet, there's nothing in there but skeletons and that 'touchy' uncle!

Rumor has it that in 'Panther' they have replaced the Sherlock application with the new bumbling 'Inspector'
here is a preview of their new ad campaign.

The design seems to be pretty nice. It reminds me a LOT of the PC Engine LT version released by NEC circa 1991, here are a few pics:

So.. there's one good reason.
Why wait until you're dead? Just find an uptight friend willing to help out... to quote the great Ferris Bueller:
"Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of
coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond"
I'm sorry, what was that? I couldnt read the comment, giant blinking lights from a SourceForge ad were blinding me.
Waaait a second, DefCon overlaps ComiCon?
...or hundreds of comic book geeks will be too busy hacking their credit accounts at the local comic shop to get their books signed?
Hundreds of hackers will be too busy clamoring for autographed copies of Busty Bunny Crime Fighters #1 to even attend!
hmm.. either way, a true geek's nightmare!

Farmers huh? Hmmm.. not a bad idea. A few social security and address switches and I can start getting paid NOT to grow crops like everyone else!
I really hope they make some sort of soundtrack announcement. As several of you have mentioned that NIN soundtrack really nailed the feeling of Quake and added tremendously to the game. I'd gladly welcome another NIN effort for Doom III... or how about Ministry this time?
