    Online Gamers Are Physically Fit

    8 Balls? Damn, I think I need to give EQ2 another look. Now meth on the other hand, no thanks, I like mah teef. But seriously, guess what weightlifters, your body weight is above average wow shocking. Muscle weighs more than fat this isn't suprising so stop fucking complaining about it...

    Patapon

    I just got my PSP this week, I was mainly planning on using it for video on the train but tried the Patapon demo and was really impressed. I think I may try target on the way home as well. For anyone that has a PSP you can try the demo via a PS3 or the PC version of the PS store.

    Netflix Opts For Blu-ray

    Damn you people do a lot of whining, lets try and remember one thing... This is a way to get movies on your TV in HD, this isn't life and death. Considering that most of the HD DVD supporters bought in for less than $200, and can still play the movies they already own, not to mention...

    What's Next In The HD Video Fracas?

    There seems to be some confusion here about NPD and Nielsen. NPD is hardware sales, Nielsen is software sales. The one thing HD DVD had going for it before Christmas was its higher number of standalone players (and that was the only figure that favored HD DVD. That has now changed...

    What’s Behind Warner’s Blu-ray Switch

    The difference in a terrorist and a freedom fighter is the color of the bandana. (this makes more sense in a south american context, rather than a middle east context, but you get the gist)

    Leopard Looks Like …Vista

    An OS that has been out for 5 months better look pretty damn up to date. Leopard does look nice, but it isn't groundbreaking and neither was Vista.

    Age of Electronics Literacy Drops

    My 3 year old (and of course 5 year old) can turn on the TV, control the TiVo S3 (pause and start again), and control movie playback on the Playstation 3 (pause and start again). They are both pretty good on the computers as well (playhousedisney and nickjr only at this time). Funny thing...

    Judge Bans Man From Net For Life

    I am amazingly liberal, and I don't see how you can possibly ban someone from using any computer network ever, for the rest of their lives. That being said, this man is a pedophile who was exploiting his own daughter not to mention the other material in his possesion, he should be banned from...

    TiVo Posts First-Ever Quarterly Profit

    Kind of, the Series 2 is already free w/ service after rebate, but they are going to be making a 'mass-market' Series 3 that should be relatively affordable, at least compared to the current Series 3.

    Illegal Downloading On Downward Track

    36% of people between the age of 8 and 18 don't understand that when the BSA or RIAA asks you if you steal music that you answer no, never ever ;) I like to think that this is related more to the availability of good legal alternatives.

    Movies At Home And In Theaters The Same Day?

    Or just wait till you can download the dvd for free a month before you can buy it. ;) Bubble was the first (that I know of) movie to try the simultaneous release in theater and on DVD. I personally think it is a great idea and would pay a premium to be able to watch the movie where I want...

    Balsillie: BlackBerry Shutdown Will Never Happen Again

    If he would just shut up about it people would forget because it has only happened once. I have been using a blackberry for years and this is the first outage of any kind, I wish my power, home phone, and cable were half as reliable.

    DRM Group Vows To Fight Bloggers

    I think they need to make HD DVD burners and media available first, then it will be a selling point. I am sure the non HD DVD studios will be jumping at the chance to get on the easier to download and copy bandwagon real soon.

    R600 - 610 - 630 Question on HDMI Audio

    The advantage of HDMI over optical (spdif) is increased bandwidth that allows you to pass up to 7.1 uncompressed audio, optical (spdif) limits you to two channels of uncompressed (lossless) audio.

    Yahoo Accused Of Assisting Torture?

    The Chinese government doesn't listen to them, but if they can get Yahoo's name in the press then maybe other people will. I don't think that this is fair or anything, just explaining why they probably did it. While we are at it we may as well blame phone companies along with tons of...

    R600 - 610 - 630 Question on HDMI Audio

    HDMI has more bandwidth than optical, allowing you to do uncompressed audio over more than 2 channels. I am using HDMI for audio and video with my PS3, and TiVo S3. Very happy with the added features and the simplicity of the connection. BTW, for everyone that thinks HDMI is too...

    HD DVD Player Sales Top 100,000 In US

    You can burn regular DVDs with the HD DVD file structure and play them in an HD DVD player as short HD DVDs. (kind of like SVCD back in the day) I believe you can rip HD DVDs and burn them to BD, but you would do it in the blu-ray format and play it back in your blu-ray player. Of course...

    HD DVD Player Sales Top 100,000 In US

    I am a PS3 owner and BD renter (occasional purchaser). I just bought a new receiver to take advantage of HDMI audio and I am really happy I did. Plus there are only hdmi cables going between my TiVo S3, PS3, Receiver and TV. For all you who think HDMI cables cost $100, go to...

    Sony Working On PS3 "Elite" Model?

    If the only difference in the 60gb unit the 80gb unit is the drive, maybe they did this because there was no price difference. Especially considering that 80gb laptop sata drives are more widely manufactured. Oh what was I thinking, I meant to say that Sony rapes children.

    War of the Formats @ [H] Consumer

    The average person will be amazed when they notice that a lot of the HD programming looks better than DVD. Then they will start to look into High Definition DVDs. They might be scared off by the price, but they will understand why they are there. To Steve/Kyle: I liked the article...

    Will The iPhone Kill The iPod?

    20GB PS3 NOT Discontinued

    If/when they add upconverting it will be quite a nice media player. I hooked up an external drive to my 20 this weekend loaded with music and movies. Still not as easy or well thought out as my old htpc, but it is getting there. I think the 20gb ordering/production comes down to two...

    Wii Outsells The Xbox 360 and PS3

    I don't doubt the order, the numbers may change but I think the ratio would be about the same. Wii is selling very well even though it can still be hard to find, and the 360 is doing better than the PS3.

    Wii Outsells The Xbox 360 and PS3

    PS3 Folding@Home Screens
