Total infomercial vibe. No longer do you have to place those tiny little ads in newspapers to make millions -- it's all about the power of blogging combined with teh Google ads! Tony Little ain't got nothing on this guy.
The chips going into the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are similar in technology to what Transmeta was doing years back. They all strip out out of order execution, branch prediction, etc to reduce die size and circuit complexities. Maybe people are starting to realize the way around the Ghz wall is to reduce complexity?
Goodbye Spellbound! Thank you very much for your service, it was well appreciated, but you made me look the fool too many times in forum posts. I still love you but Google's spell checker is more thexy:)
...and I am sold. I'd love to lay in bed playing the Capcom classics on the PSP. I can do it now on the PC and modded Xbox, but the portable angle would be killer.
Yes, they were in the senate in Episode 1. Only for a few frames in the wayyy corner of the screen, but unmistakably ETs.
Rumor also has it Spielberg directed the final dual between Obi-Wan and Anakin (uncredited). We was supposed to have directed Return of the Jedi but the Director's Guild wouldn't allow it.
Did anyone else feel the scene where Yoda leaves Kashyyyk was entirely reminiscent of the last scene in ET? Even Yoda's little pod looked a lot like ET's ship to me. I could even swear I heard the ET theme playing in the background.
In defense of the one-billion comment, J Allard was saying the game industry in general would reach one-billion, not just the Xbox 360.
As for crack smoking, here's a quote from Ken Kutaragi, president of Sony Computer Entertainment regarding the power of the Playstation 3:
"Users will be able to store their content in an online storage server called the 'Cell Storage.' And the Cell processor, when it's not being used, can refine the content's quality. We call it the 'aging' process. For example, users can 'age' their Standard Definition (SD) video and up-convert it to High Definition (HD) video."
Well, there's always the free Acid Xpress to which Apple has no compliment.
I am not arguing GarageBand isn't a good tool at a great price. I use GarageBand (and ProTools, and Cubase SX) all the time for home recording on my Powerbook and I love it. I am just pointing out the Windows equivalent.
Acid Pro is the Windows equivalent of Garageband. In fact some of the guys who wrote Acid worked on Garabgeband for Apple.
Brian "Head" Welch" (the ex-Korn guitarist who found Jesus) allegedly recorded his new album entirely in GarageBand. Maybe he will release his stuff too, being that's the Christian thing to do and all.
Heck, I have been finding my UPS, FedEx, and USPS shipments via a Google search of the tracking number for the better half of a year now. If I know about it it must have been in place for some time before that.
Picture playing music directly from your WiPod to your receiver via Airport Express. Beats anything we can do currently. Remember home audio remote controls? The iPod becomes the remote.
Denny Crane: You hear the one about the fella who died, went to the pearly gates? St. Peter lets him in. Sees a guy in a suit making closing argument. Says "who's that?" St. Peter says "Oh, that God. Thinks he's Denny Crane."
Sorry, I just love Shatner too much on Boston Legal.

On the Intraweb, that's referred to as self-ownage :p
Now if Microsoft can't nail astalavista.box.sk for posting Windows product ids, they can sue for violating their product name.

Any guitarist worth their salt prefers a good ole tube amp over solid state. You really think they're going to let robot come to the party?

More crack smoking from MS, claiming the Xbox 360 has 6x the bandwidth of the PS3 (carefully skewing numbers to favor the 360).
The only sound coverage of the new consoles so far has been this piece at Ars and hopefully, the piece Anand has been working on.
It just ain't fun anymore.
Never having read Dune I was amazed how much of Star Wars was influenced by it, as outlined here
To his credit, Lucas also robbed Flash Gordon, Kurosawa, Joseph Campbell, and Tolkien :)
I read the book and have been following the insider info. Jar Jar is only in one brief scene with zero dialog.
Looks like a standard Micro-ATX case. Can't really tell if it's much smaller than the current Xbox either.
My guess is they were trying to go iPod with the white, but gosh, it's hopelessly not sexy.

DellPhones?
Kinda like the DellPod as I like to call it.

Those software patenting, future philanthropic types.. Great guys, I tell ya! :)
Can blame Slashdot for reporting. Google's their great blue, red, yellow, and green hope.

I'll wait for the torrent with the 2:03 minutes of actual content.
Children are playing a game that encourages them to have sex with prostitutes and then murder them.
Her husband can get a hummer in the oval office but I can't get a little virtual to refill my health meter? WTF!?!

The Wireless iPod is a certainty. I can't wait. Looks like Apple has filed patents for wireless podjacking support; sharing playlists over WiFi.

Robert Durst was acquitted of murder charges by paying 1.8 million in legal fees. The RIAA exploits a 1976 copyright law to claim each song shared is valued at up to $150,000. It costs the same amount of money to commit murder and hire expensive attornies as it does to get caught pirating an album and be sued by the RIAA.
