Impressive but just seems like an incremental improvement on the Wii. With Kinect they're doing something more ambitious, and of course more prone to glitches and bugs. This has controllers and I do like the idea of doing away with them for certain games.
And couldn't some of these tech demos be done in Kinect anyway? It just needs to track your hands...

Odd video embed by the way, no controls or running time info.

Those look pretty fancy! Speakers are my unrequited love but I have to hold off on even thinking about them before I get my own place

Yeah, the ER4Ps did sound good when I got them (still do, really) but I have a massive case of upgradetitis and will probably be shelling out for these sometime soon:

No, but I will do soon. I'll be off to the shops sometime today to buy a Marantz PM6003 along with a pair of KEF IQ5SE's. That's got a headphone socket

Currently just running it off an X-Fi sound card.

My portables are only sennheiser px200 yours are pretty pricey for in-ears, I'll bet you can get some good sound from them :>

Ah right. Do you own any headphone amps? My home headphone rig is audio-dg Compass DAC -> Sennheiser HD600 and portable one is Mini^3 -> Etymotic ER-4P.

No idea, I stole it from someone.

Wait, you own a pair of Stax SR-007 Omega IIs?

Not really that worried about it, just found the video interesting

But yeah, I agree especially since overpopulation and high birth rates are related to economic prosperity, as more countries grow themselves out of poverty, global populations will grow at a slower rate and the problem will go away by itself. Hell, it's even already projected.

Issues that appear to be less important though, which require actual action rather than happening automatically and contradict the interests of corporations, like the ones you mentioned well yeah might as well give up hope on those, so you don't let yourself down

ahh i know you're smart real smart but dont' worry about overpopulation. worry about aquifer loss in the midwest, loss of habitat resulting in species loss... even industrial chemicals causing buildups and knocking down the ecosystem.

the big things will take care of themselves so don't worry.

It's no longer ever super tiny but for youtube videos in particular and maybe some other embeds as well: when I open them as a new window from the queue, they initially are smaller sized than if I refresh that same page after - in which case they stretch out all the way to the right sidebar. Not a problem for me per-se but just thought I'd let you know about it.

In reply to this comment by campionidelmondo:
This isssue should be resolved. Can you confirm that, please?

In reply to this comment by RedSky:
>> ^RedSky:
Some videos come up in very small embeds. Not all the time though, I refresh and it's fine.


I'm still getting this issue a lot, odd that nobody else seems to have brought it up. I use Iron, which is a no spyware version of Google Chrome if that helps.

Cheers!

Hehe fair enough, I really wasn't expecting you to reveal your sources of bountiful star giving goodness anyway, just giving credit where credit's due

In reply to this comment by arvana:
Hey thanks for this nice comment!

I can't claim any credit really, I just follow a bunch of blogs, they post great videos and I pass them along. That and I spend quite a bit of time in front of the computer!


In reply to this comment by RedSky:
arvana where do you find all this awesomeness?

Ah alrightey cool, yeah I think I might have seen Porco Rosso at some point that's why it struck a bell

In reply to this comment by ponceleon:
Originally it was an image from Porco Rosso, but when I got my gold star a sifter drew an actual picture of it and I was so flattered, I decided to adopt it as my avatar!

Congrats!

Where's your avy from by the way? Always came off as strangely familiar ...
