Gizmodo reports that the Japanese have different priorities than Americans when it comes to using Vista.
We’ve got different priorities than the Japanese. The first things we do when we get Vista are installing it on a Mac, figuring out how SideShow works, and scoping out the Windows Experience. What do the Japanese do? They make sure they can run multiple instances of different hentai games.
So yeah, if you’re into this sort of thing—we mean, who isn’t—then you can safely see that Vista handles NINE different hentai games simultaneously. You can even use Flip3D to toggle between them. Hell, you can even control each one’s volume independently. Sugoii!
BumpTop aims to enrich the desktop metaphor with expressive, lightweight techniques found in the real world.
Our ideas about BumpTop, physically-based casual interfaces and pen-centric interactions are outlined in the below CHI paper and Masters thesis. * Anand Agarawala, Ravin Balakrishnan. (2006).
At this point I’d have to say that spotlight and smart folders are the best wayh to find and organize files. We have to see what Vista comes out with in the future but I don’t think they’ll have anything better than what we’ve see of Leopard’s updated spotlight that Gizmodo posted.
This is probably a look into the future and what may happen in the future. But still years away from being in home computers. But if anyone picks it up, it won’t be Microsoft. It’ll probably go the way of konfabulator.
Leo Laporte thinks so…On this week’s Macbreak Weekly Merlin Mann suggested that there may be a new Beatles edition iPod similar to the U2 iPod…but with a widescreen and touch features like the iPhone.
Leo Laporte “predicted” this same idea again on the latest edition of Geekbrief TV.
I would have to agree that The Beatles being on iTunes doesn’t seem like a big enough announcement for a SuperBowl Commercial…but something like this makes a lot more sense.
Will we see a new Video iPod during the Superbowl? At the rumored Feb 20. event? At all?
Speculators keep on speculating…we’ll know for sure soon enough.
TOM Cruise is the new “Christ” of Scientology, according to leaders of the cult-like religion.The Mission: Impossible star has been told he has been “chosen” to spread the word of his faith throughout the world.And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion.
A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church’s top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology’s Christ-like figure.
“Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”
Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the ’80s. Leader L Ron Hubbard claimed humans bear traces of an ancient alien civilisation.
This is so very sad… the most shocking part being towards the ends where she reveals that college professors get students who can’t do 4X6 without a calculator.
An anonymous local Nintedo rep, (the kind that checks in on EB stores) gave me a little inside info today. The word around the company is that promises of Mario Galaxy in the spring are not going to be kept. Although, the New Metroid for Wii will be coming sometime between April and June. He also told me that Metroid will be the first Wii game to be playable over the internet. When, I expressed my dismay at lack of Wi-Fi capable games at launch he explained that the infrastructure is all up and has been ready to go. The lack of Wi-Fi games so far has been due to developers not making use of it.
Take it for what it’s worth, but I predict a showdown this fall/Christmas between everybody’s favorite little plumber and the Master Chief. And, by then Sony will most likely be offering free hand-jobs to get people to buy the PS3.
A man gets upset at Microsoft’s service and plans to send them the largest box they have ever seen. According to their policy, they have to send back any box that he sends in. They adopted this policy after no longer offering to send customers who’s Xbox’s have died a box that they could ship it to MS in.
ME: Well what cardboard are you going to send it back to me in?
T2: We will ship back your unit in the same box that you ship it to us in.
ME: Really. So no matter what box I send to you, you will return it to me in that very box.. because from what you just told me you have ZERO cardboard in which you could send it back to me in other than my box?
T2: Policy states that we ship it back to you in the box you send to us.
ME: So no matter what, whatever box I send I get back because I’m paying for that box so I must own it, right?
T2: That is correct sir.
ME: 100% you will send me my box and no other?
T2: Yes.
ME: Ok.
ME: How big is your repair center?
T2: Excuse me?
ME: How big is your repair center?
T2: I don’t see how that pertains to the situation sir.
ME: Because I am going to send you my broken xbox in the biggest damn box you have ever seen.
