This article is most likely wild speculation, but it’s very interesting speculation nonetheless. I suspect the part about iPod torrents will actually happen.
Edit: iPod formatted torrents have indeed hit torrent search sites.
Here’s a little incite on how the upcoming Nintendo Revolution works. The article includes an overview of the console itself as-well as it’s unique and revolutionary gaming controller. This is a pretty good high level view of what the control is supposed to do.
I was surprised by the comparison in power to the Xbox 360. Everyone is talking about how Nintendo isn’t a part of the power war that Sony and Microsoft are taking part in, but it sounds like Revolution might not be as far off the mark as many people think. I’ve read that PS3 and 360 aren’t really going to live up to their full potential anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re rushing the product to make it available sooner. I heard today that they’re scaling back the multiplayer in Perfect Dark Zero so it can be ready for 360’s launch in November. Not necessarily a smart move.
The thing I found most interesting was the comparison between the known Revolution specs and the GameCube. I’ve never had a problem with the Cube’s performance, but Revolution will simply blow it away. And a dedicated physics processor? That would only make sense with the new style of gameplay.
Some guy made a portable NES comparable in size to the Game Boy Micro. Impressive.
Ok, so I had this all typed out and Firefox exploded and the post went bye-bye. I’ll try to recreate from memory.
I think Lost is consistently one of the best hours on television. If you haven’t seen the latest episode yet, stop reading. You’ve been warned.
So I was a little disheartened after last weeks episode. Don’t get me wrong, season two started off with a bang. It slowed down with the second episode, but we found out what was going on with the raft guys and we got some new info on happenings in the hatch. But week 3 was weird to me somehow. It just didn’t’ seem like Lost. But tonight…oh yeah. It’s back.
I thought the flashbacks for Hurley fit particularly well with his new responsibilities and his fears about them. It also helped explain why he dreamt about a guy in a chicken suit, although I still don’t know why he was speaking Korean (but it does explain why Jin was speaking fluent English in the preview for tonight’s episode). Jack and Sayid’s exploration of the hatch was interesting, and I’m sure more will come up about that later. We finally got to have an almost decent conversation with the other survivors, and it appears we know how many of them are on the island. And we actually got to see pretty much everyone, not just those involved with the hatch or raft. I think that’s part of what I’ve been missing the last few weeks.
The only thing that didn’t sit well with me is the fact that Ana Lucia is still being a total bitch. I understand her initial skepticism at these three guys from out of nowhere, but they told her about the plane, what more does she want from them? I’m hoping for a better explanation there in the future.
Next week is a Jin episode. I’m looking forward to it.
Edit: I almost forgot…you can watch Lost and other tv shows on your new iPod if you’re willing to pay $1.99 an episode.

Everyone knew it was coming; now it’s here. Apple has introduced a new iPod with video support. I want to see one in person and then I’ll decide what I think about it. Still, a bigger screen and longer battery life sounds like improvement to me. I think it’s time to check it out and decide if I want to upgrade to the latest with video, or just a 4th gen with a color screen. Decisions.

I’d heard that there could be more than a few versions of Microsoft Vista, but really hope this isn’t true because it’s just ridiculous. I can’t possibly see the point, unless they want to alienate every single Windows user who wants to upgrade because they won’t know if they should get Starter, Basic, Pro, Premium, or Ultimate. What a joke.
Blizzard is looking for more than just your $15/month. I’ll have to say this really surprises me. I’ve always thought Blizzard was a great company that made great games. I understand them wanting to combat piracy and cheating, but this is out of line.
This is probably just wild speculation, but it’s interesting nonetheless.
You know the yellow first down line they project on the field when a football game is on TV? I’ve always had an idea how it works, but I didn’t realize it was this complicated.
This video is just sad. I can’t believe how stupid people are. “I see a country labeled on a map, therefore I will disengage my brain and believe it must be true.”
