E3 2010

Yes, my last post was in January. I started new projects at work and got my time sucked out. But I was going through the E3 event videos and I decided to write about it. So this is Part 01.

Sony goes Motion and takes it personal on Nintendo. 

I know this isn't new. The PS Move controller looks a lot like the Wii, but something caught my attention when I watched the new Zelda for Wii and the Sorcery for PS3 in action. Miyamoto, said "just imagine you are holding a sword and shield... all the actions will be done doing realistic motions", but he had a hard time showing this. He swings but Link doesn't do the same movements. Watch the Video.

On the other hand. Sony shows the game Sorcery, and it does a pretty good job with the Move Controller.

Yes, Nintendo invented this type of gameplay, but Sony perfected it. No, I'm not trashing the Wii, but the videos speak for themselves...



BTW, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1 The Game (try saying that 5 times fast) will be a shooter... Think the first Medal Of Honor, but with Wizards shooting shiny spells... Sucks to be you!

CES 2010 : Lenovo Hybrid

Tablets are the new computers. Because of interaction, ease of use and other features. I personally am waiting to see the Apple Tablet but in the mean time, Lenovo showed at this years CES (Consumer Electronic Show) a Hybrid, Laptop that turns into a Tablet, and its AWESOME! You just take the monitor off and it automatically turns into a Tablet Pc!

and a video to...

WINDOWS 7 launched on a MacBook Pro!

And I quote:

"Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was on The Today Show (international viewers: The Today Show is a morning news and entertainment program that airs on NBC, a big TV network here) to unveil Windows 7. Call me crazy, but isn’t that a first-gen MacBook Pro in the background?"

MICROSOFT GOT PWNED!
JAJAJAJAJAJAJ They must be really pissed off right about now! Nice move NBC!

Here some pics...

SunCat Solar Batteries: Well That Was Obvious

Rechargeable batteries can be a bit of a pain—you have to carry around an adapter, find an outlet, and even bend over to plug in the adapter. It's hell, really.

The SunCat batteries solve all of these issues while giving the environment a firm pat on the butt by wrapping standard NiMH rechargeable batteries (1.8V) in photo voltaic cells (1.5V). Seen in prototype form here, each battery becomes its own solar trickle charger, constantly topping off its power reserves without ever over charging.

Now if only Duracell, Energizer or some other major manufacturer could swoop in and mass product this idea...
