Big deal. Radioshack sells them and the paper backing has dashed lines on them for all different sizes of screens from digicams on up. Luckily I can get 4 screen protectors for my camera out of each sheet instead of having a lot of excess to throw away.
It works well when scrolling through a long list because the human finger doesn't have to lift off the surface and return to the top, like in a mouse wheel. It means the user can spin around the dial quickly and it will scroll fast immediately instead of speeding up slowly. It also lets the user adjust through a layer of clothing, while other times not accidentally adjusting something because the wheel is rubbing on fabric.
What will the maximum and mean diameter of the cable be approximately? Even 32,000km is manageable if most everyone living in the path of the cable can be alerted to go a kilometer or two north or south of the impact line. How far north or south of the equator could the cable be expected to deviate? 1km, 10km, 100km?
Power gloves. Yeah Nintendo did it in 86, but this is with better tech. Objects like a gun or golf club should become props. Instead of putting the Revolution wand into a gun sleeve and hitting a button to reload, imagine making the motion of reloading with a prop while wearing motion sensitive gloves. In a RPG, actully reach down and pretend to grasp an object to pick it up and examine it. Imagine the porn!
Most importantly, if the gloves and external sensors monitor the motion, we could have Mechwarrior-style control layouts made of inexpensive plastic. The panel wouldn't have to be wired up with circuit boards and actual switches, just spring-loaded dumb buttons.
It only needs one button with two states. Press it and it lights up and starts the elevator going up. Press it again and it turns off and the elevator decends.
Look at the video for more insight. This controller is meant to use large movements with the whole arm in addition to the wrist. The large amount of movement will compensate for precision. More importantly, there are two sensors that are placed on either side of the TV. Did the gyro mice have those too? The sensors help with spatial orientation. Finally, if you've ever played a gun game in an arcade, or raced or flown with a wheel or joystick, you know how much better that is. This is realizing those possibilities, not to mention letting us swing a bat or racquet.
Gun games are more fun when I'm aiming in the air with a gun or in this case, remote. Aiming with a mouse is precise, but that isn't what makes it so fun for me.
While it's being released everywhere else, it'll be getting lots of publicity in Japan. Just like how the US market salivates over reports of games and systems that Japan gets months earlier.
Except it already has huge market penetration. It's not the same as when the Gamecube dropped to $99 because a much smaller fraction of the market owned them.
Why? Don't you already have a SNES and N64? They're really cheap if yours died. If you want to play these games I'm guessing you've been emulating them for years now? In which case you know how superior save states are. The Revolution could do that too, but so what?
Don't put 10 buttons on the wheel. Put 8 in the familiar order "123,4 6,789" with 5 in the center of the wheel and 0 below the wheel.
Next, add touch feedback. Use the button technology from the RAZR phone underneath the scroll wheel. When scrolling there won't be enough force on the buttons to depress them, but for dialing the tactile feel will be there.
Think harder. What if the numpad was replaced by a touch wheel with the 0-9 marked on it? People could still dial easily, and they'd have the iPod interface. Or to keep things familiar, just put the number 5 in the center as it's own button, and the 0 button beneath the wheel.
Ever since Link to the Past I've wanted Ganon to die and stay dead. What was this stupidity of going even further back in time or forward and Ganon always gets resurrected? It's not like he was an especially charismatic villan. I want him to die so my victory will matter more.
Once they mail out the suit will they monitor my shopping habits at say, CompUSA? Buy a hard drive, fill it up, and leave it at a friends house. Maybe hide it there so the friend doesn't know it exists.
Presumably the S400 was auto setting itself to ISO 400 and it's minimum aperture, 2.8, but that still will require maybe a 1/10th second exposure. My A510 has manual controls and a f2.6 minimum, but MrScience's f1.4 is the real key to low light photos without a tripod.
I think has very little to do with it. PA just has more appeal to more people. I gave sluggy a chance but it never hooked me. I bought two goats t-shirts and still happily wear them, but I haven't read the comic since it got too wordy and weird without being funny. Good comics spread fast-enough by word of mouth.
Ahh, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, with it's massively too drawn out and cliched evil-zeke plotline. I was wondering when the hell that was going to move forward. Lots of panels, very few jokes. Even fewer funny ones.
Depends on the local government. They aren't all corrupt. In the California East Bay from Richmond down to Fremont, and east out to Livermore, the only city I know with clearly unfair speed traps is Alameda.

So you're claiming he lied about TA's who knew how to do the problems, but couldn't explain in English to him? That would make the class harder.

What flights are you referring to? It's been a while since I saw the card in front of every seat show a radio with a red slash through it.

He says sine waves are never found in musical instruments. Why not? Isn't a vibrating guitar or piano string a sine wave?

GameCube was $199 and I'm guessing the Revolution will be too. Parents will much rather pay that instead of twice as much for a PS3.

Unreasonable is relative. Have the higher prices promoted smart urban live/work growth and mass transit systems?

The PS3 will support mice for gaming.

And plenty of those movies were bull-shit scaremongering.
