"NO WE ARE BLOODY NOT" says Microsoft, about Blu-ray add-on for Xbox 360
Clearly a bit bored of reading lies on the internet about what it may or may not be doing next week or month or year, Microsoft has come out all ANGRY and said it’s 100 percent definitely NOT DOING a Blu-ray player add-on for Xbox 360.
“Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience…
"Smart Goggle" will remember whether you put your keys in the oven or fridge while drunk last night
The whole idea of Terminator/Predator style augmented vision is shaping up nicely in Japan right now, thanks to the efforts of another group of clever augmented-reality scientists.
The rather bulky set of glasses to the left there features a camera and display, with the camera feeding data to a clever – and apparently the “best yet” – object recognition system…
IPod nano safety fears hit Japan – battery "emits sparks" during charging
Uh-oh! Global safety panic alert!
Japan’s trade ministry has pressed the big, red EMERGENCY button in its offices, after receiving reports that an iPod nano’s battery started to give off “sparks” while it was being charged.
The incident took place in Japan during January, with Apple itself…
Nokia and Channel 4 teaming up to cross-promote brands and intellectual properties vis-a-vis capturing the critical youth demographic
At least we think that’s what’s happening.
A new TV show called “The Nokia Green Room” will appear on Channel 4 later this year, with the mobile company sponsoring the 30-minute live music show.
The unique selling point that convinced executives on both sides of the table that this was a great idea? Putting cameras and microphones “backstage” so viewers…
Gameloft embracing iPhone gaming – has 15 on the go
The fallout from the earth-shattering iPhone SDK revelations continue, with independent developer Gameloft revealing its iGaming plans.
And it has a lot of plans. 15 plans. 15 plans for 15 separate iPhone games scheduled for 2008 – but the only one confirmed so far is Bubble Bash to the left there.
Gameloft’s been pushing mobile phone gaming…
Xbox 360 price cut – £159.99 in the UK from Friday
Crikey, that is cheap. Cheaper than the Wii and nearly half what Sony’s charging for a PlayStation3.
Of course, the new £159 refers to the entry level “Arcade” Xbox 360, which doesn’t come with a hard drive. But it does, fortunately, come with a 256MB memory card, so you’re still able to save your games. And a wireless controller. So you can play them…
Apple reveals gaming plans – Monkey Ball and Spore spearheading iPhone games push
Shown off last night at the iPhone SDK unveiling, here’s a look at SEGA’s legendary Monkey Ball running on iPhone. And running really bloody well by the looks of it.
Monkey Ball uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to detect movements, so, just like in the Wii version, you’ll be able to steer your little monkey around by moving your hands from side to side.
VIDEO: Can you work from in the garden?
It’s the dream. The ultimate fantasy for the home-worker. Working from the garden! But is it possible? Are humans ready to emerge blinking from the office or home and work productively from our gardens?
With summer on the way, I thought I’d continue my investigative home working video series and try to find out IF you can work from in the garden. So, can you? Work? From in the garden?
Padded lampposts coming to London, for the protection of stupid text messagers
This had better be an early April Fools joke or edgy and underground viral marketing campaign, or society’s in a much worse state than we previously thought.
The East End’s fashionably run down student heartland of Brick Lane is apparently about to get padded lampposts, in order to protect “inattentive” (STUPID) pedestrians from breaking their (STUPID) faces when bumping into them while texting their “M8s.”
Men getting into interior design – so their lovely new LCD TVs match the curtains
The trend of replacing ugly old CRTs with fancy new LCDS has lead to men getting all worried about the insides of their houses.
A survey from fancy LCD maker LG found that 6/10 Brits believe their TV’s design is important to their homes, with an even higher percentage saying that the TV is “an integral part of their interior design decisions.”
Men, in fact, are now so worried about how their growing home cinema setup looks…
