We knew a little tidbit of this type would turn up soon, but not too soon. This is the Nexus One phone in action, 20 seconds of action. A little on the short side, but even though it is just booting up, it looks completely badass. A pulsating cross of lightning? We want more!
If you find out about some more videos of the Nexus, let is know!
We all have noticed that much of the television and movie industry is pushing more and more 3D content, but trying it at a football game? Last night at Cowboys Stadium they tried the vaunted real-time 3D scoreboard display experiment.
After only six minutes and fifty seconds of it being active it was turned off. The problem first was of course most attendees, some 80,000, didn't bother to put on the glasses, and second, many complained of headaches and nausea. Fans even went as far as booing the jumobotron.
The company who put on the event, HDlogix, has the technology to do glasses-free 3D, but sadly it doesn't work when you scale it to the world's largest HD screen monitor. Hopefully next time they decide to try this sort of thing they figure out a way to do the glasses-free version. But then again, does it really matter? You're at the game already and 3D can't get better than real life... can it?

Haven't you always wanted a cheap underwater camera? This thing is perfect for you then - taking your iPod nano 5G down to new depths, never seen before seen. The device costs $79.99 and the case allows you to capture video while under being submerged under water.
I think you'll be seeing a lot more video on Youtube of underwater videos. Check it out! It's the H20 Audio case.

Although this is not very exciting sounding (as Palm is yesterday's news) CES 2009 was their biggest year with the launch of WebOS and Pre, but does palm have enough will power to work up some hype? Well this may get your feet tingling, a Verizon partnership will probably be announced, along with some other... -- ok we are in the dark as much as you are. We might just have to sit tight until CES 2010.
If you're familiar with the MMORPG culture then you're aware that there can be serious problems related to living that sort of lifestyle. Now there isn't anything wrong with playing such a game, but when you become addicted to it, neglecting sleep, eating, and socializing, well... then you might have a problem. Which is why some Korean researchers took it upon themselves to use PET scans to compare the brain activity of gaming addicts and drug addicts. The findings weren't surprising; showing what everyone had already suspected: there is a correlation.
One researcher said this about the study:
“These research results demonstrate that online gaming addiction requires specialised medical treatment just as narcotics addiction does, and we hope it will be recognised as just such a mental illness.”
Macbooks are not bulletproof, just putting that out there. Apperently some security guys knew that already, and unloaded on a Macbook. A young American woman travels over to Jerusalem to meet some friends, see the sights, live the life. Some border security officers, with an abusive commitment to their job, ask her a bunch of questions, and now she has a different looking Macbook. The young lady stuck in this predicament has been promised compensation, and most of her animals in farmville are dead.
More pics of the Macbook after the break.
Everyone's heard of the (now confirmed) rumor that Michael Jackson did the soundtrack for Sonic the Hedgehog 3, but did you know that there's been more than just a couple cases of games taking popular riffs or intros from other well known musical artists?
I wasn't all that aware of the ones that 1up had found, though, I did know of the Flash Man stage in Mega Man 2 influenced by Metallica's "Seek and Destroy", and also the whole fiasco with the main theme for the Metal Gear Solid series. But I was blown away not noticing Ken's theme from Street Fighter was completely ripped off from Top Gun's "Mighty Wings" song done by Cheap Tricks. MegaMan, Sonic, and Final Fantasy seem to be the most guilty parties - but check for yourself in this eye, or in this case, ear opening article.
