This mouse is truly a work of art, and should be manufactured because, I want one! This thing showed up over at NewLaunches.com and it could pass as a GunBlade from Final Fantasy and it looks as if it is customizable, which is cool!
The sides come off so you can see the guts, and the scroll wheel is not digital, it has a rubber belt that runs to the main board and then turns another wheel to make twitter scroll up and down!
We have an Album if this mouse in all its glory Here
It seems everyone is coming out with a tablet -- EVERYBODY! And why? -- We don't know, but we do know that this think looks kinda awesome!
The new Sony Vaio L series Equipped with a 24-inch (diagonal) WUXGA (1920x1080) widescreen panel, the unit displays high-definition content in Full HD resolution. This magnificent screen is touch sensitive and also is able to playback full 1080p Bluray movies for your viewing pleasure.
Striking at all of the right chords, the film's main focus - which seems to be the only original one - relies heavily on sound and atmosphere throughout the film. A refreshing aspect of Paranormal Activity lies in its minimal amount of special effects. With an exemplary use of sound, the film works on the nerves of the viewer by repeatedly assaulting them with a brilliant balance of silence, soundscape and subtle visual effects.
Furthermore, throughout Paranormal Activity what stands out is the lack of CGI-dependent special effects. The greater portion of special effects are conventional types of the film school variety. The better portion of special effects are of a psychological nature.
As most of the demonic domestic violence in the film is located in the bedroom of the sleeping couple, this makes the film stand out as a supernatural thriller because of the element of psychological framework. In one interview, director Oren Peli says, "I think a lot of people can relate to the question of what happens at night when you're most vulnerable." Peli's statement becomes evident after each night of relentless demonic terrorism that's inflicted upon the suburban homeowners in Paranormal Activity.
The movie also is big because it's original way of being distributed through the U.S. by use of Demand.com to try and get the film to play in your area.
The movie isn't very different from other films in how scary it is, but their is something that makes it truly terrifying. The reason you will have nightmares is because you believe that something like this could happen. The movie being shot with a single camera brings belief and makes you afraid that this seems so real.
I myself as well as other felt like we were "seeing things" as we were in our cars or entering our homes. It's of course all psychological but still you mind can play crazy tricks. And don't think i'm just another scared person who hates scary movies. I hate scary movies because they aren't REALLY scary, but this one will amaze.
I HIGHLY recommend to anyone but beware, you almost WILL have nightmares.
Turbo, a movie produced by a USC graduate student on less than $100K, has become quite the talk of the town in the gaming world. Real gaming movies like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter tend to be a bit hard to take serious, even when they themselves are trying hard, TOO hard, to be realistic (Legend of Chun Li). Turbo takes a step back from that, and puts the focal point on a player, rather than the game itself. It's a quirky movie, and only lasts 20 minutes, but it's effects are top notch and really make you nod to the creators who imagined it.
TURBO is a high adrenaline short film in the tradition of the Karate Kid and Tron. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting videogame called “Super Turbo Arena”. When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cyber-sports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro-team, Hugo's sets his eyes on the prize.
-Jarrett Lee Conaway (Director of Turbo)
Anyone who's into special effects, gaming, and just cinema should give this more than just a passing glance.
So with the recent release of Snow Leopard for Mac came an updated Quicktime called Quicktime X. But what's the new features?
Big features include new cleaner look, visual chapters, easier to share videos across multiple platforms, quick capture, easy trimming like the iphone, and the best is simple way for you to record your screen for use in tutorials in special programs.
As cool as all these features are many professionals are mad about the downgrade it has for converting video. Quicktime Pro was about to transcode into many helpful formats for video editors but good news, we still keep Quicktime Pro!
Basically Quicktime X is a polished version for the average consumer and still gives you the clean look apple is known for. Check it out especially if you are in to doing tutorials in FCP, After Effects, or what ever else.
