2007 Game Consoles for Dummies

You have three choices, and you can choose none of the above, or some of the above. There will be a number of gamers who will choose some of the above but not initially. Sony Playstation 3: lot of hype on the technology. But we’ve seen over the last six generations of game systems, technology [...]

Gizmodo v-blogs the Nintendo Wii setup screen

And it uses their controller like a laser pointer to set language, date, locale options. . . I think this is a case of using technology for technology’s sake though. But I’m rooting for the Wii, to be honest. Sure there’s not the bloodletting and full on adult action of GRAW or R6 Vegas on [...]

XBox 360 problems with voice in multiplayer, GRAW

Not to talk about the frivolous, but I’m allowed since this is my blog. I have an XBox 360, which friends raved about near launch, and felt some peer pressure (really, quite a lot of armtwisting) to conform since we were going online to play multiplayer co-operatively through the Ghost Recon series and also the [...]

My next PC will be a Mac

New Apple Duo Core Intels have a slight bump in processor speed. Here’s the deal. Because of certain software choices, I have to haul around two frickin’ laptops through airport security twice or more times a week. Besides the damage to my back I’m probably doing, it’s a big pain in the culito to haul [...]

Taking notes the Cornell way

Agile User Experience

Caught this article on agile methods and user experience on Spool’s UIE site, and I was reminded of this by Lou Rosenfeld at his recent Chicago seminar: “we should be trying to get away from phases.” Agile methodologies have been center-stage for some time now, but it’s taken a while to get creatives, especially those [...]

Digital convergence is here, it’s happening

I was reminded of this recently. . . Aside from Tivo still holding on somehow, first, Steve Jobs unveiled their settop box, iTV, which isn’t even “done” yet, but, just the fact they felt strongly enough about it to show to the public speaks volumes. That, as I’d said in a previous post, is tied [...]

Just what are the numbers on RSS, anyway?

According to this white paper (pdf, 508kb) by Ipsos Insight, commissioned by Yahoo, RSS is now well nigh ubiquitous but few people know what it is, much less how to use the darn thing. 4% of the internet in 2004 knew what it was and were using it actively; of those who said they didn’t [...]
