Nintendo Wii Fit

Posted by Charbax on March 12th, 2008

Trying the most awesome interactive interface for gaming ever made. The Wii Board is amazing. I tried the Wii the first time in May 2006, 6 months before it was released at the E3 in Los Angeles. I knew immediately that the Wii was the most awesome gaming console ever made. Now the Wii Board provides even more amazing interactivity that requires you to put your whole body into work and have complete control over your balance.

Greenpeace about electronic waste

Posted by Charbax on March 10th, 2008

Greenpeace is pointing their fingers at big IT industry manufacturers and distributors for not caring about the environment. They are also warning people that most so called old recycled computers are actually instead sent to some underdevelopped parts of asia and africa where slaves are melting motherboards and PC circuits with their bare hands to extract the little materials and metals they can that have any resale value on the black markets. So do not believe all those that want to export containers filled with your old computers to give to people in the third world. In some cases 75% of the old computers are unusable, they consume more power then there is available and thus the scheme is only using the charity as a means to escape and illegally monetize electronic waste. The USA doesn’t even have a policy to prevent electronic waste traffic. Hundreds of tons of electronic waste is shipped from the USA every year to be dumped and processed by slaves in the third world. Current PC components in most computers other then the OLPC have toxic chemicals in them that harm those poor people that melt them and that pollute the water and the ground where it is dumped.

Sony Ipela HD video-conferencing

Posted by Charbax on March 10th, 2008

Sony is bringing to the market their first HD video-conferencing solution called the Ipela next month. It’s very expensive and targetted to the enterprise, but it’s really cool and probably one of the highest quality HD video-conferencing solutions out there with the LifeSize and Talk and Vision solutions. I asked the Sony representative when it would become possible to do HD video-conferencing using the Sony PS3 and probably something like a cheap sub-100-dollar 720p or 1080p webcam, but he didn’t have any exclusive informations to give about such consumer oriented HD video-conferencing solution yet. Sony probably doesn’t want to cannibalize their own new product category by releasing a cheap HD videoconferencing solution using the PS3. HD video-conferencing is totally awesome, the next best thing to being there with the other person. One day very soon hopefully we will all have direct HD video-conferencing connections to our families with a small HD webcam to put on our chea HDTVs.
