The patent, number 6,769,989, was granted on 3 August this year, but is essentially a continuation of another Nintendo patent, 6,599,194, which was filed in April 1999.
to bring an "adult-oriented" title to GBA? Joke aside, you will be arrested as soon as you are found to play this Mr Pants game in public, in Islam countries. Not sure why Nintendo approved it.

When Joe Average buys a Linux PC at Wal-Mart, he may be conned into it by a clerk who is happy to kill dead stock PCs, then back at home he notices it doesn't run MSN Messenger without hack and can't send message to his friends, so only goes back for refund. It won't propagate good impression of Linux, IMHO. Linux should aim at Mac status instead, by securing small but valuable market niche.
I mean, I'm really, really glad that he told me Mario 64 invented 3d graphics. In my own foolish little way, I'd believed that my PC had been doing them in one form or another for years before the N64 even existed (and frequently far better than the N64 did them).
What specific title do you mean for PC? I recall games like Doom II at the time around Mario 64, and it's not at all better than Mario 64 for 3D.
I'd seen a few or more articles about other dynamically reconfigurable chips such as this until now. In which point is IBM's one different from others? Making a single chip autonomic in itself is only about packing, I suppose.
It's different that you need 150 hours to beat a game or that you can hang around in it for 150 hours before losing interest. Though I like tough games on PC, can't imagine the former on console...
That said, does anyone have the ship date for GTA:SA for PC?
It's great to see a domain name with a dead product name in it is going on like this:) Maybe next time they should choose a name with broader appeal... In a similar vein, I've seen a website with "riva" in its name but don't recall where.
Actually, Windows Media 9 codec (VC-9), which was adopted as one of codecs in HD-DVD, violates the patents of many Japanese electronics giants involved with H.264/AVC, but because of the NAP(non-assertion of patents), they couldn't sue Microsoft.
Maybe he got upset that by the news in this week he knew PS3 would be premiered before his expectation, and had to say something to hook up losing fanboy interest in Xbox Next?
"We may still be losing money, but we have gone from nowhere to a significant player with a whole different approach. We've generated something brand-new."
Apparently Sony has enough know-how to accomplish those requirements around small disc and portable player, as tested in MiniDisc that has a sizable market in Japan. Google "battery life" and "minidisc", and the figures are not bad. In PSP you have to consider cost of running games in a large LCD, but it won't be much higher than GameBoy - like 2 times or less power consumption.
Thanks Simoniker for changing my offensive line of techno-babble Engrish to simple "realtime-rendering", but the original sentence "share entire set of raw materials and content production environment in it" is meant for developers (naturally, because it's Rambus Developers Forum), explaining recyclability of objects, not promising higher image quality to consumers. It suggests the standardized protocol to share the same model/scene/animation/programming data between feature film, game, and other domains, without losing (programming) control, not only suggesting shift to in-game real-time rendering. But I couldn't crunch that nuance well into the short article.
Anyway the juicy part of this news is not SCEI hype, but memory bandwidth and expected shipping schedule of PS3 itself.

Xbox was announced in 2000, so it may infringe.
The two patents detail a "home video game system with hard disk drive and Internet access capability"
Is this the Revolution for the Big N?
Sony submit "Game system with graphics processor". Wow.
Firefox is a great browser on Windows, too. Why Apple?

RTFA and think about piracy and things on rewritable disc!

When IT gets really free, we no longer see articles about cheap IT jobs outsourced to India, right?

BTW how did you find the URL of the mp3?

Your strategy works, as long as you buy them at eBay.

Excuse me, is he joking?
What does "take" means?
Xbox Next will take PS3 to the next generation as a flower girl, then go away somewhere obscure...
