Microsoft announced at E3 this year that the Xbox Dashboard would be getting revamped, more than that, it would be getting replaced by a newer supposedly better user interface. There are two parts of this that I am interested in, one being what the new interface will be, what new features it will have and [...]

I found this ad on YouTube. Its pretty lame really but Microsoft has spent $300 million on a new ad campaign with the ‘…and I’m a PC’ guy from the Apple ads in a similar style. I’m looking forward to seeing those. Someone in the marketing department should be fired…

I love Robot Chicken. It’s official. I knew Robot Chicken was made by the people that do Family Guy, and I knew that it was stop motion but for some reason I had never watched any of it until my holiday when I put two seasons of it on my iPod. I think it is [...]

I was just having a browse through Apple’s film trailers as I normally do and I was taken aback by a film titled ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’. Considering that the 1951 film of the same name is one of my all time favourites I was hoping that this would be a remake rather [...]

I found this amazing YouTube video in which someone draws a werewolf from scratch in Photoshop. I wish I could do this!

Needed to do today: Need to ‘bang’ through a single number without it constantly updating. Send messages from Flash to Max. Playback from collisions in Flash. To start with the Beta that had been the focus of our efforts had ‘broken’ as certain tweaking had meant that a few files had been edited for the [...]

I was browsing around YouTube to find some videos about Microsoft surface to post about the actual point of it all as I was discussing today that the only thing you can do with most touch screens is look at photos, resize them and have a really cluttered desktop. Anyway, I came across the promotional [...]

Normally when you hear about tracking you just assume that it’s a very expensive piece of kit or a highly sophisticated algorithm. Well Cam-Trax is sophisticated but with its simplicity. The system allows you to control anything you like by tracking an object’s colours. You will understand when you watch the video below. It seems [...]

This is a really cool use of touch screens and interactive visuals in a DJ music environment. This would have been great for Rave On Air and it seems to show great use of new digital media taking over again from the ‘analogue world’.

I came across this video that shows what plain old-fashion ingenuity can do. The guy from MIT (surprise) thought of everything that a person might need and tried to make a machine that could do it all. This is obviously a prototype but the concept is sound. The principle is to ‘make’ the pates on-demand [...]

This is a great video that I recently re-found after being forced to work on a Mac and talking about various problems with a friend who owns a Mac. This video perfectly sums up my feelings towards Mac. Its a love / hate thing.

Here’s a fairly long video of the new Gears of War 2 game. Looks like some nice features have been included. Click here for the HD version

So I have been using Del.icio.us for a couple of days now since it was mentioned in a PPD session and I am beginning to see the advantages. It uses a tag system similar to blogging so you can see related bookmarks. Why I haven’t used it before I don’t know. I just found a [...]

Its kinda odd but kinda good. I like the way that they use the ‘lid’ as a metaphor for life at the end. See… Gaming can be profound!
