Zune HD out now - Hands on demo, and list of features

The Zune HD holds the key to Microsofts success in the MP3, and portable media device market. If they screw this up, its all over.

But things are looking good! The Zune HD is looking to be a stable, usable and reasonably priced device which has a very good chance at competing with Apple's iPod touch.

Since giving up on the 30, 80 and 120 GB Zunes, Microsoft's focus is concentrated on the success of the Zune HD.

By the way, it has a beautifle OLED screen, Nvidia chipset, Wireless syncing, HD video output and more.

Zune HD customization is here and its cool

I don't think apple saw this one coming, and neither did I! This is unbelievable, and I made this Zune by the way.

This just goes to show, the steps Microsoft are taking to prove that apple isn't the only ones with a good Media device, are paying off. I mean look at this thing.

Its beautiful and it was so easy to make. The Microsoft website lets you take any old Zune HD and turn it into a unique piece of art. But don't get me wrong, even the Zune HD on its own without any customization is still way cooler looking than an iPod touch.

So try it out and make a wicked Zune HD, and you can even engrave it too!

+10 points for Microsoft

iTwin - the Cableless Cable

The iTwin is something that intrigues me greatly. I have multiple computers and sharing between them is very important, but I've yet to find a perfect solution for this task. You take one half and put it into Computer A, take the other half and insert it into Computer B. Now, with an internet connection enabled on both you can now share files with a simple copy pasta. As their site calls it: "It is like the two ends of a cable, but without the actual cable."

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - Wii Overview

Japanese cover is way prettier

Muramasa was announced about two years ago, around this exact same time too. Heck, I still remember posting the first screens on my old blog back then. Well, the game’s been out in Japan for a few months and it’s finally been released in the states. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now so I was stoked when I finally got the game popped into the Wii.

Was it a game worth the wait? Or was it hyped for nothing? Take the jump to catch my full overview of the entire experience I had with Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

Two New Ways to Search - Bing and Google add search Features

Ricardo Trejo Sep 14, 2009 Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Me Follow Us Internet

Between the two new features from Google and Bing, I'm going to have to go with Google's as the best and most relative. So we'll start there first:

Google's Fast Flip

Google's /news section is a fast way to get you upto speed with the news, but admit it, it's not that visually appealing - links and text - and have also just one source to read highlighted stories from is a bit of a drag.  So this is where Fast Flip comes into the picture. Flip lets you search up a topic and gives you a full page of site preview's to check out, all from big named news sites and magazines, to give you the news that YOU want to read. It looks nice and well organized, but sometimes the text in those preview panels can be quite small.

My only huge gripe with Flip is that the stories presented are broken up into categories like Popular and Recent. I think copying Twitter's trend function would be a perfect addition, as anyone could get onto Flip and stay tuned with what's happened through out the day's events.

Give it a Try

Bing's Visual Search

Looking for vacation spots or maybe prominent players in a professional sports team? With Bing's new Visual Search feature you can scan through categories and find search results once you've found the image you've been looking. Let's say you choose the San Fran 49ers from the image of the NFL teams displayed above. Well, once you've selected them you'll be taken to a common search results page with the image as your keyword. Why you wouldn't have just typed them into the search box is what I'm asking.

I don't see the proper application or practicality in this feature, so I'm not exactly sure what it's trying to accomplish. But regardless it's something you may want to try out for yourself before passing judgement.
