Video Game - E3 2009 - Videogames

I love how Nintendo execs talk, it makes the console sound better than it is.

Seriously though, the Wii needs some new features (preferably updates to it's online functions) or they need to release a Wii 2 or a Wii 1.5 (maybe a Wii with an upscaling chip), anything would be nice really.

Summer Wars

Looks cool, even though I've no idea what it is about (hopefully there'll be a translation somewhere along the line).

A Chrome OS comment

^Already been said.

Lol, it's annoying to see the press all jumpy for the Chrome OS hype when a lot of it's features have been revealed in Gears, Native Client and O3D documents.

Like if you check here: http://code.google.com/p/gears/w/list

You'd know that Chrome OS will support a lot of features through Gears such as cameras, microphones, photo editing, file system access, and even binary data.

And I bet in a month or two, they're going to hype these features like they're something new.

and I don't know why everyone's assuming this OS will be entirely cloud based, even in the distant future that isn't ideal. It's why Gears was invented.

And even on this blog you revealed that GDrive will be a syncing tool (http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/01/closer-to-gdrive-and-google-lighthouse.html) similar to Microsofts Live Mesh.

Google said everything from the start.

And everyone has to stop assuming that because of this the desktop is dead, it isn't dead it's just Google is pushing to have the web as the defacto platform for applications.

Remember they said this regarding mobile app stores (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/07/google-app-store/), now take in mind that Gears is also on Android.

I'm done typing.

Snow Leopard So Far...

So I just installed Snow Leopard, which only took about a hour to 48 minutes. It isn't that different from Leopard if you have been keeping up with the updates. But I've been using it for about 5 minutes(which isn't enough time to see all that Snow Leopard has to offer ) , so here are just a few pictures below of what's new:

"Passions", "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI" & "Flavor of Life" By Utada "Hikki" Hikaru

What should be an easy task of just picking out three songs from Utada Hikaru, a very talented J-pop/R&B/Experiential artist, became such a hard task. So I came to a conclusion that no matter what songs I choose from her it's going to be good.

The first song, which might be one of her greatest songs ever, "Passions". This version of the song honestly gives me the chills! I swear she is one of the best singer alive.


Next is "Flavor of Life", which was number 2 in worldwide digital download yearly single chart with over 7.2 million downloads in 2007.



Finally "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI", which I feel like was one of her stronger songs off of her 2009 Album "This is The One".

Google Wave

I'm extremely anxious to get my hands on this product and to get the ability to add my own extensions to it and so forth, but there are quite a few questions lingering in my head regarding Wave.

As usual with every site on the internet, I'm going to make a list.

1) Is Wave interoperable with regular XMPP accounts? Will it be?

2) When logged into Wave do you appear online to regular XMPP users?

3) Will Wave have any integration with e-mail?

4) What does Wave mean for video and voice chatting? Will Wave have this functionality?

5) In the end what will become of Google Talk and Gmail?

6) How will Wave replace e-mail alerts? Will it?

7) How will Wave notify you of messages when you don't have the client open?

8) Will Wave support storing messages offline?

9) Will Wave have themes?

10) Will Wave play nice with OpenID and OAuth?

All in all I have a few opinions but not many ideas (as this honestly milks a lot of them), so I'll just leave it at that.
