New Kinect dashboard to include Bing search technology

@feedingblasphemy Voice recognition actually depends on LIVE, the voice decoding into text is processed on Microsoft servers, that's what causes the delay.

Well, at least we won't run out of dragons in Skyrim

According to The Elder Scrolls mythos, there is actually a dragon race, it's an old specimen that habitated Akavir, an ancient continent of Tamriel.

Xbox Live Indie Gems: Aban Hawkins & the 1000 Spikes

I beated it. Not that difficult. The boss is a bitch, btw.
Great game, polished, complete. I bought it together with The Impossible Game, for 1 dollar each. Both were great value.

Microsoft shows off prototype avatar that will haunt your dreams

@Gimbal You mean like they add the textual options, we speak our choice and the NPC interact to it? That's pretty interesting, imagine Monkey Island with your voice, it would definitely be cool (Monkey Island has no voice when you select some option, just the NPCs speech has). Oh no, now I get it, you mean making the NPCs actually read the text at real time. Yeah, that's cool too, and I don't think is too further in time. But voice acting will always transmit more emotion, anyways.

Kinect Hacks: A pad-free StepMania

@xxxsam It could be developed commercially and then we could have DDD, Pump It Up and Para Para with Kinect support and full 1:1 body detection. You see, we don't need those ugly GH avatars, just give us a good looking SD video for each song and focus on Kinect, and that's a winner!

'Kinect for Windows' SDK coming this spring from Microsoft

This means I shouldn't sell my usb and power outlet adapter. Damn, was home to make some money on them!

Game Boy games get hacked onto an oscilloscope

This is what I call a driver! Port it to linux ASAP!

Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 requires PSN connection (not for co-op, for DRM!)

@vask And yet people buy those games that come with licenses from EA Sports games to play online. The times are changing we ARE paying to play under supervised conditions. If only the developers/publishers have the right to reproduce and distribute their contents, that's how things will go, we basically rent the games forever, but to play only the way they meant to.

We are in the middle of the process. In the future, one of two things should happen:
1- Free download of games in all platforms. But you have to pay to play. Just like Windows, you can download it in thousands of places in the internet., but you have to pay for the license to install it and use it for more than a month (or pirate it). This mean OPEN platforms, limited access to software (DRM in ALL TITLES, for example).
2- We go back to the way it were in the 80's: the games are OURS. We can edit it, re-sell it, play it on emulators, etc. This mean CLOSED platforms (just like today), unlimited access to software (the game is yours, and you can run whatever you like on your console, no DRM). This means that you CAN copy the game installation folder and bring to your friends' house.

We are in the middle section: closed platforms, and limited access to software.

Sony explains the discrepancy in PS1 content between regions

@SpideyBR And I don't mean "don't sell PSX games anymore", I mean "sell the emulator, sell the games, but let us use our own ripped (from the original discs) games too".

Oh, btw, I don't even have a PSP, but I suffer this same problem in the hands of Microsoft and Nintendo.
