Some people really have too much time on their hands. A clever programmer known only as Dampe, has taken the incredibly hard task of trying to convert “the Ocarina of Time” into a 2D game. From the trailer available on his site, the game engine seems to be very fluid, and if he manages to [...]

Someone has recently taken the time to review 23 female character from old 8-Bit NES games. Each one is judged on beauty, personality and a random trait. And some of them are extremely funny, like this one for example (referring to Princess Zelda from Zelda 2)

Hotness: 8 – Sure’s she in a magical coma, but [...]

A nice article, recently showed up on Digg that reveals some of the features, or functionalities that Microsoft has kept relatively hidden in Windows. Here are the first 5:
1. Installer music
Start > Run > “C:\Windows\system32\oobe\images\title.wma” > Ok
2. Hibernate
Start > Turn Off Computer… > press Shift key to change the “Stand By” [...]

EA CEO Jeff Probst recently said in an interview that Sony only managed to ship half the number of consolers they had predicted for the launch day.
Probst said demand for Sony’s much-anticipated PlayStation 3 (PS3), which made its U.S. debut on November 17 for the critical holiday season, was strong but a shortage of supply [...]

Over on zBiz.TV they have a great video with Guy Kawasaki interviewing Steve Wozniak. If you want to hear some geek history, check it out.
It is around an hour long, but Woz is just crazy.
the Commonwealth Club of Silicon Valley this week where I was invited to videotape Guy Kawasaki’s interview of Steve Wozniak. I [...]

People whose jobs or businesses involve being online most of the time (which includes probloggers like us) have to rely on power to get things done. But acts of nature can potentially hamper our productivity by pulling the plug just when we need to publish that blog post, send that proposal by email, or seal [...]

It’s normal for gadget manufacturers to release a few safety warnings when they release a new gadget. But since the complaints about Wii-related damages have been great, or at least very debated, Nintendo have decided to release a more thorough guide to help their customers keep their televisions and windows intact.

One of the things that [...]

Motorola have finally decided to move on from their very successful RAZR series and introduce a new one called SCPL (”scalpel”) which will be powered by a completely new Linux-based Operative System.

The first model of this series will be a low end model that focuses on being as simple and intuitive as possible. Motorola officials [...]

NerdyShirts.com have released a very nice t-shirt for all Nintendo fans that shows the entire Nintendo console family tree, from the classic NES the recently launched Wii, and the very popular Nintendo DS, in both it’s “incarnations”.

Since this article was on Digg, I’m guessing it won’t take very long before they’re out of stock, so [...]

A recent study by researchers from Canada and Scotland seems to prove that standing up straight helps to strain your back more than if you’d lean back a little, at 135º to be precise.
Measurements of spinal angles, spinal disk height, and movements were taken. When undue strain is placed on a disk, it moves [...]

Sony released not too long ago the first firmware patch for the Playstation 3. No, no one managed to “hack” version 1.0 yet, they just added some new features (although some claim that there were more important things that need to be updated).
Since some users still notice many flaws with the console’s software they started [...]

Mother f***ing Rock Gnarlies.
The GoBots were always the Transformers’ ugly kid brother, so needless to say, the GoBots feature film was “just like Transformers the Movie, only not as good”. Not nearly as good. In fact, it wasn’t “good” at all. While the writing may have been only a few notches below [...]

Diggdot.us was recently given a cease and desist letter from Digg’s lawyers for using their name in the Diggdot.us domain name, so they have changed their name to Doggdot.us and while they still pull in stories from Digg, the i has become a *. This is probably one of the biggest shifts to occur thanks [...]

Bionic Six was a series I didn’t get into until the Sci-Fi Channel began rerunning it in the mornings, along with Star Wars: Droids, the New Gigantor and the Transformers. I only enjoyed it in passing, as it wasn’t my favorite of their morning line-up, honestly. I remember thinking Mother-1 was kinda hot, though.
The show [...]

In an attempt to help increase the Zune’s sales (which haven’t been great so far), Microsoft has quietly released a special edition Zune for the pink lovers out there, only 100 of them reached the retail market.

Even though I’m not a fan of the color, I have to say that it looks much better than [...]

It seems that Sony still has some time to innovate after all, after spending buckets of dollars on the Playstation 3. This is a FELICA card, which according to the author of the article is a “Japanese electronic purse”, I guess that means that it’s a credit card.

It’s nice to see a more ecologic form [...]
