Aabar Investments takes 32 percent stake in Virgin Galactic, we're still not cool enough to go to space

I worry about the steadily increasing amount of wealth and power in the UAE, they are quickly becoming a super power in economics, but do not live by the same guiding principles that promote equality, peace, and prosperity.

I guess it does not matter wether it is us or them as long as it is someone, we reap what we sow, and we have sowed very little for this fall.

Space will eventually be our last salvation if we want our species to survive, planets only last so long.

Insights on Nintendo's new games from the Miyamoto developer event

Yeah I was sort of looking forward to a wind waker style or even something newer along the stylized feel.

But I guess wind waker is now for portable games while twilight is for consoles.

It is easier to make wind waker graphics look great on the DS's hardware, this allows Nintendo to appeal to both sides of the rift in Zelda fans.

The Conduit: Then vs. now

Jan 20th 2009 7:03AM (Joystiq)
I think it looks great and hope other companies license the game engine for their games too, after all that was the goal of high voltage was to make a very capable game engine / graphics engine to license to other developers allowing them to have better looking games produced easily for the Wii. Conduit is pretty much a show model game to give a idea what it is capable of doing.

Think of how many games are made with the quake , unreal or halflife 2 game engine. and they all carry very similar levels of graphics. If they can get other developers to use this game engine then we will see a variety of games with similar graphic quality as conduit.

I think it looks great and look forward to future releases that use this framework.

Dell's Mini 9 now shipping, arriving on doorsteps everywhere

You don't need the recovery cd just install the standard Ubuntu 8.04 release and then use the ubuntu forums how to to install the net book remix for small displays. I have it running on my older dell laptop right now with the netbook remix interface it works ok but is not full finalized for official release, the good side is it is constantly updating so hopefully when the dell ( w/ ubuntu releases it will be ready.

Ubidays 2008 screenshot roundup

How can they put it on any other system then the fastest selling most sold as well as the one whose controls would fit perfect. I am sorely disappointed, I have been waiting for so long for a sequel to find out it is on two systems that would cost a fortune. For Ancels sake I hope it sells well but I just see the same mistake repeat itself.

I love how she says she needs to embrace her son hitting his head on banisters at all cost cause it is less damaging then playing video games.

She blames all her parental inadequacies on video games, we can learn to overcome any obstacle as long was we don't first place blame.

iTunes 7 turning out to have major glitches

Sep 14th 2006 7:04PM (Engadget)
All Album art Must be 1:1 square, if you see that it is flickering, just google image search the album art and try to get anything from 200x200 to 300x300, if it is not square by one pixel it will cause the flickering effect.

Anything that is not sold on iTunes will have a problem with album art, if iTunes does not sell the cd you loaded then you will Need to google image it.

They made it really easy to add your own artwork or edit theirs.
