2010.02.26

Wired’s Chris Kohler:
The larger screen isn’t just some frivolous purchase — it’s completely awesome.
The Nintendo DSi XL is the largest DS: it has two 4.2-inch resistive touch LCDs and when folded is about the size of a paperback. The displays are about double the size of regular DSes. Nintendo is aiming to take a bite [...]

3D PlayStation 3

2010.02.10

The PS3 is scheduled to receive a firmware update to enable 3D this summer. With a 3D-capable LCD TV or monitor I can imagine how crazy fun it might be to play 3D games in 1080p. Of course, I’ll need to be wearing some dorky glasses, even at night. Source: Pocket-lint via Engadget

Microsoft: Self-Destruction

2010.02.05

Frank X. Shaw in Measuring Our Work by Its Broad Impact makes the case that innovation is about making a positive impact in the world. (Internet Explorer and Windows Vista come to mind.)

Pink PSP-3000

2010.01.06

REMOVABLE? “Spring Blossom Pink” is the name of the pink PSP-3000 that just got official in Japan with an availability date of March 2010. The color itself is quite sophisticated, but there is a better way to do this. Here are my thoughts about color: allow the front face of the PSP-3000 to be removable [...]

Sony Gran Turismo for PSP Coming October 1

2009.09.29

I think it was 2002. I sat next to my friend Joe who was playing a driving game and asked him if he wanted to race. I’ve never played this particular racing game so I was a bit nervous since I didn’t want my pride to be squished by a virtual Corvette. “Alright!” After what [...]
