Gamers Are Good At Game-Related Tasks? Nah.
Under the heading of No Shit Sherlock, comes the ongoing penchant from the press to repeat the incredibly-obvious. CNET is reporting that (gasp) we videogamers 'May Have Quicker Eyes.' Ya think? Could that be why the rainbow effects on DLP displays bug My Dumbass™ so much?
And games? Might they improve other things? Could that be why we have reflexes that are double those of our compatriots in Science Museums? Duh. Sheesh.
Tweak The Hell Out Of Your Cheap DVD Player?
This terrific how-to-guide has Robert McNeice showing how he took a few hundred dollars in parts and a soldering iron and upgraded a one-hundred-dollar DVD player into something that would cost 10X more. He takes on both video and tonal aspects. Itsa fun read even if you don't dare destroy your own warrenty due to any personal sheer-frigging-terror of working with small bits and solder.
Deep Impact -Or- Whoops, That Was Close?
We on the West Coast of the United States are looking very forward to 11 pm P.D.T today. (But Toob will probably be fogged in...) It is with great hope that the gamers at NASA's J.P.L HQ. can hit the head of a pin with a projectile launched only 172 days ago. This display would be a blast to see in the night sky.
Louder And Flashier Display?
It could well be that the only reason to watch the Macy's Parade in HDTV on NBC tomorrow is the incredible fireworks display over the East River. Fireworks=Good.
