Oh joy. I’m so glad this is a failure. Seriously, we need standard software to copy DVDs to iPods, PSPs, etc. easily. To hell with Hollywood’s “piracy” concerns.

I really hope they announce a release date at E3. Also, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t put a small hard drive in.

Interesting article on the foibles of FFXII. Admittedly I probably won’t ever play this game, unless they release it for XBOX.

I’ve been vocal when asked about my opinion of Penny Arcade. PvP boiled it down pretty well a few years ago. I certainly don’t think there’s necessarily anything wrong with knowing your audience and skipping the background introduction, but really, it’s like a leader paragraph would kill them somtimes. Regardless, I had the theory that I thought they were brilliant...

The Seventh Leaguer
The screenshot accompanying this article about Justice League Heroes amuses me. Ignoring everything about the game itself, the choice of leaguers is always tricky.
By tradition you always have seven members. Slots 1-3 have to go to Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. For four and five you pick the best second-tier heroes in the DC arsenal, Flash and Green Lantern. Flash’s speed makes him able to...

Robot News
The Ides of March bring two disturbing pieces of robot news.
First, Aging Japan builds robot to look after elderly, a story with a must-see photo. I think Old Glory Robot Insurance is going to have to open a branch in Japan.
Second, via Slashdot comes a story about the US Army’s SWORDS robots that are equipped with either the M249, machine gun which fires 5.56-millimeter rounds at 750 rounds...
