Who Went Home on 'Dancing With the Stars'?

Nov 16th 2010 11:20PM (PopEater)
Two of the dancers deserve to b in the finals but one doesn't,Bristol. I'm so upset i am considering not watching the finals. Two seasons ago the best dancer did not win and I didn't watch last season, and i'm afraid it will happen again. Please all of Brandy's fans should vote for the two stars who can really dance, Kyle and Jennifer.

Chris Brown Tapes Full, Public Apology

Jul 21st 2009 4:30PM (BV Black Spin)
I do not think that his apology was sincere. I was not convinced. He sounded angry and from my observation appeared to have anger. I listened to him and when he made the commented that, I told Rhianna that I was sorry and I'm tell you I'm sorry sounded to me like he was angry he had to apologize. He sounded like an abuser who is telling his girlfriend or wife, I told you I'm sorry and I am not going to tell you that again.

much money and might not sell all when it comes out.(For

respective system's TRC (Technical Requirements Checklist) will be
playable on PS3 at launch.The PlayStation 3 does not include
interfaces for legacy PlayStation devices such as the DualShock
controller and PS1/PS2 memory cards. It is not known at this time
whether USB devices for PlayStation 2 will be compatible with
PlayStation 3. PlayStation 3 can use Memory Stick media to store save
data for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software.[20] It is not
confirmed whether current PlayStation and PlayStation 2 save files
can be used on the Playstation 3.(For 2nd or 3rd)

The
Boomerang" or "Batarang" controller was officially abandoned for the
PS3.(For 1st)

Sony has stated that because of the motion
sensors, the rumble capability of the previous controllers will not
be included, reasoning that the vibration interferes with
motion-sensing.(For 3rd)

data
Bill Gates stated that by the time the Wii and PlayStation 3
ship in November 2006, nearly 10 million Xbox 360 units should be
sold. Microsoft has also stated it will ship around five to five and
a half million Xbox 360s its financial year 2005/06, ending 30 June
2006. This an upgrade from the original prediction of only 4 and a
half to five million.
Total number of Xbox 360s shipped:
Total:
5 million units (as of the end of June 2006)
Quarterly Data
Q4
2005, 1.5 million units
Q1 2006, 1.7 million units(For 3rd)


Xbox360 Backward compatibility is achieved through software
emulation of the original Xbox hardware. Emulated games offer
graphical enhancements because they are rendered in 720p resolution
with anti-aliasing enabled rather than the Xbox standard of 480p.
Some games also benefit from an improvement in the rendered draw
distance, possibly due to the system's greater memory bandwidth.
However there are also games that do not perform well in emulation;
these often exhibit a lower framerate on the Xbox 360.(For 2nd or
3rd)

Xbox360 is going to have HD DVD in the future.(For
1st)

Nintendo Wii have less power than the PS3 and
Xbox360.(For 3rd)

The Wii Remote is also able to sense
movement and orientation. Sensors in the Wii Remote allow it to sense
linear motion along three axes, as well as tilt.The controller
features has an optical sensor, allowing it to determine where it is
pointing. This can cause some detection problems when bright or
fluorescent lights are in the area, requiring the controller be
calibrated to the sensor bar. This is presumably because the
controller uses the LEDs in the bar as a reference point.This allows
players to mimic actual game actions, such as swinging a sword or
using a flashlight, instead of simply pushing buttons. An early
marketing video showed actors miming such actions as fishing,
cooking, drumming, conducting a string quartet, shooting a gun, sword
fighting, and performing dental surgery.(For 1st, 2nd or
3rd)

The current design of the Wii Remote uses two AA
batteries as a power source, which can power a Wii Remote for 60
hours using just the accelerometer functionality, and 30 hours using
also the pointer functionality.( 2nd or 3rd)

Additionally a
small internal attachment (a dongle) to be sold as an add-on to the
console will allow Wii to play DVD-Video. (For 1st)

Up to 480p
and will work with a computer monitor as well as any TV or projector.
(For 1st)

Nintendo Wii will have no HD. (For 3rd)

There
is no indication that the Wii has the high-speed port of the original
GameCube, which means that unless otherwise indicated, the Game Boy
Player (which required this port) will not be compatible with the
Wii.(For 3rd)

Nintendo Wii will support wireless connectivity
with the Nintendo DS. The connectivity will allow the player to use
functions like the Nintendo DS's microphone and touchscreen as inputs
for Wii games.The Wii will also be able to update and expand DS games.
(For 1st)
