ABC SECOND LIFE VANDALIZED
May 30th, 2007
Well its getting even weirder on the net…
Taking police stereotypes to new levels, the donut devourers will now sit on their asses indoors all day, associating with people who engage in online rape, online prostitution, online human sacrifices, and my personal favorite, online summoners of dildo storms. These are the people that the police are willing to hire to solve online crimes — the people who are usually responsible for them. Not the well organized World of Warcraft guild members. Instead they’d rather start their online exploration in a world full of weirdos and sexual deviants. I can’t wait to see headlines in six months when they hire a hacker who infiltrates their own database to pull off a real world crime, and then frames the police officers as the prime suspects.

Finally someone made laser pong
May 18th, 2007
I do not know why this sort of thing appeals so greatly to me. I think its the mentality since it doesn’t really have much use (unless you count fun) – its g33ky and übercool at the same time.

The system was done by Cornell and I am wondering why we here in Denmark (where I am from) never really see this type of dedication from students? I mean – this team – actually made the whole thing… not a concept, not a document describing possible social implications, not a mock up or proof of concept. They just made the WHOLE thing as part of a 5 week course!.
Wall of Pong is a fast-moving, interactive, laser-based pong game playable on any flat surface.
The system uses a digitally controlled laser projection platform to draw a pong ball onto any flat surface. This allows for a large playing area that can be set up almost anywhere. Hand held paddles with embedded sensors are given to each player. The real life paddles increases the interactivity of the game and makes it an enjoyable and dynamic derivative of the original PONG arcade game.

May 7th, 2007
@ enthusiast.hardocp.com/ they tested games using Xp and Vista.
Results: only in one instance did Vista provide better frame rate


I guess that people who like to play FPS multi player on line should wait a bit…
