David Jaffe hates focus testing (Jan 31 2007 22:59 GMT) - Filed under: Culture, Sony PlayStation 3, Action, Driving, Online Designer David Jaffe's latest blog entry, as vulgar-laden as usual, was a liveblog of his day at a focus test for Calling All Cars (previously Criminal Crackdown), an upcoming PlayStation 3 downloadable title. You won't find much in terms of new game details, but aspiring game developers could learn a lot from this manic entry. We know that some of you out there don't appreciate Jaffe's verbose language or feel like the designer, whose probably known best for God of War, hasn't "earned" his street cred yet, but naysayers can still walk away from this transcript with an understanding of the inordinate amount of anxiety put on game makers when they watch their projects get critiqued and criticized by various demographic representative, for better and worse, and how technical issues will vastly affect the situation.Calling All Cars is planned for a release next month in the range of $5 to $10. |

Vista Swag Bag Winner (Jan 31 2007 22:58 GMT) - Congratulation to Daniel Woolston. We received a lot of "tattoo entries" in our Vista Swag Bag Giveaway and it was obvious they were all fake, except this one that was claimed to be real and looks very real. So, Daniel, enjoy your swag and you sir have true dedication to be permanently inked with the Windows logo. Jump to see some honorable mentions (including a bikini clad female). This is definitely hot, but just because you own both version of XP doesn't mean you are a diehard fangirl. |

Katastrofal batteritid på min MBP (Jan 31 2007 22:58 GMT) - Jag tyckte batteritiden var lite kort från början. Men nu har den rasat ner till nästan ingenting. Max 20 minuter. Och nu senast så gick den inte bara ner i vila, utan stängde av sig när den fått nog. När den släcker sig visar battindikatorn att halva batteriet är laddat. |

Playing the I Won't Run game (Jan 31 2007 22:53 GMT) - Anyone can hog headlines by running for president. John Kerry is merely the latest master media manipulator to do so by announcing that he's not. Senate Majority Leadercrat Bill Frist not only rejected a 2008 bid for the White House, but is also retiring from politics altogether after serving 12 years as promised. The announcement stunned libertarians who noted that Frist actually served 12 years in the Senate after pledging to serve no more than 12 years in the Senate. Still, others have pointed out that the Tennessee pol remains under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading. |

Nokia N800 (Jan 31 2007 22:52 GMT) - David Beers discusses Nokia's N800 Internet Tablet and writes: What neither PDAs nor smartphones have really been able to do very well is help you keep all your valuable data, media and applications on your person all the time. Laptops, thumbdrives and web applications have all tried to fill this need, each with gaps or compromises. Another pain point that none of these mobile solutions has adequately answered is the need that many people have for taking and managing handwritten notes. Looking at the N800, which wasn't really intended to answer these problems, I can see that with the right software it could be closer than anything we've seen to date for solving them. |
