Windows Phone 7 Series

For the second time in my life I can say I'm actually interested in Windows Mobile (the first time was because it was the only worthwhile mobile OS at the time).

Unnoficial iPhone/iPod Touch Widgets

You know, I've kept wondering to myself from looking at how Google Gadgets basically run everywhere, how comes Apple and Microsoft haven't enabled support for their widgets on their other platforms (web, mobile, gaming, tv, etc).

DX10 from the CPU

"Adding to the already impressive pile of Vista-deflating features we're expecting to see in Windows 7 is WARP, a tech which will allow your PC's CPU to act as a graphics accelerator, possibly doing away with the need for integrated graphics hardware to render user interfaces and low-end games. Not-so-seductively described as a ‘fully conformant software rasterizer’, WARP requires nothing more than an 800MHz processor for complete—if comically slow—DX10 compliance.

At this stage WARP won't be intended as a gameworthy replacement for dedicated graphics cards, but it could help avoid another "Vista Capable" type debacle by standardizing essential graphics capabilities across virtually all hardware. That said, it's not that slow: Microsoft reports that when paired with the rather awesome i7, it runs Crysis faster than Intel's integrated DX10 solutions. Like, 42% faster. Granted, that's still only 7.36FPS on the game's lowest settings, but don't miss the point here: Windows 7 will run Crysis—or any other game—without a video card."

Dreamcast PC

This is something I dream of owning, I wonder if it can play Lost Planet Colonies.

From Kotaku

"Tokyo PC shop Tsukumo has gutted the Dreamcast console and stuffed it with all sorts of stuff: a compact Sony NEC Blu-Ray BD-5500A drive, HDMI output, a Western Digital 160GB hard drive, and a MINIX 780G-SP128MB motherboard. The controller plugs have been turned into Flashdrive-friendly USB ports. It runs on Windows XP Professional."

Apparently this thing only cost them $1000 to make.

(These guys have also made a Sega Saturn Pc.)
