360 Dashboard Update Soon

Looks like we (anyone w/ an XBox 360) get a whole new dashboard on August 11...

Included is the feature to spend our real money on our avatars... I for one can't wait to have a fictitious representation of myself dressing better then I do...

Well, all sarcasm aside I kind of want that RC Warthog

Another Augmented Reality App - But This One is Useful

3GS + this App + England = Never Lost Again...

Bleeding Billboards a Stark Reminder...

While living in Australia I was subjected to their graphic ad campaigns against "Drink Driving"... The one ad that I will always remember had a motorist die in a violent vehicle collision; and if that wasn't enough their was also an infant covered in blood, crying on the side of the road...

I see here that New Zealand has the same idea... I for one like these billboards...

Activision Threatens to say Goodbye to Sony

Looks like Activison Blizzard President/CEO Bobby Kotick is upset w/ Sony... He is saying that Sony makes it to difficult to dev for their system, and has little incentives to do so... That would mean no more Call of Duty, Guitar Hero or Marvel titles...

Gizmodo has the whole story here...

R2D2 in Transformers 2

Yep, it looks like ILM is now sneaking R2 into all the films they work on... This should be a fun game for awhile...

Of course this doesn't mean you should actually pay money to see Transformers 2... Just wait till it goes to video...

Panasonic Locks out 3rd Party Batteries to Save Lifes

Thanks Gizmodo for heads up...

Well it looks like if you're a thrifty photographer, and own a Panasonic camera you're about to drop some cash on their proprietary batteries... What is important to note here is that Panasonic isn't doing this for the money, they are doing it for you safety... As you see, third party batteries may blow up in Panasonic cameras... You might have heard about it in the news... somewhere... don't ask me where *shrug*

So if you own a Panasonic camera, have third party batteries and want to avoid the highway robbery; don't update you firmware and you'll be just fine... unless they blow up o_O

Toughbook vs Zoo

For those of you out there who are rough w/ your electronics, this is the laptop for you... Here is a video made by Forbes that puts the Toughbook up against a Tiger and and Elephant... It's to bad the host has the entertainment equivalent of a retiring high school guidance counselor...

Plasma Blowtorch Now Used for Your Teeth

Ok, so the first thing I thought of as I read this story was "When is this coming to a toothbrush???"
I can see the marketing now....

*Do you get tired when brushing your teeth w/ only ONE Plasma Torch... Well now, thanks to PlasmaCo, your toothbrush has not ONE, not TWO, but SEVEN Plasma streams to blast that plaque away... 4 out of 5 Dentists reccomend PlasmaCo toothbrushes, and now its so much faster... act now and you get a free carrying case*

Sigh, the future is here folks...

Using the Red One Camera

This just looks amazing... I don't know allot about cameras, but I'm pretty sure using the Red One is any film nuts dream... and the way these guys are using it is impressive...

Thanks to Gizmodo for the article...

Palm Pre Uses Konami Code <3<3<3

The idea of Entering the Konami Code to access the Dev Mode is fantastic...

I kind of want a Palm Pre now... Well, not really... I think I just want to find someone w/ one and test it out...

iPhone 3GS Processor and RAM Uncovered

Well it looks like Gizmodo found out just how fast the new iPhone 3GS is...

CPU = 600MHz (up from 412MHz)
RAM = 256MB (up from 128MB)

Does this really mean the "S" = "Speed"???

I think so b/c w/ this upgrade, not only will I be able to copy/paste till my lil heart is content; but, I'll be able to do it 46% faster...
