Responses – Month of August

August 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment

A new monthly task for me. Every month I will be posting my (biased :P ) responses to a number of posts. I hope this section will expose you to some of the more unknown posts.

Nintendo’s Missed Opportunity: Four Swords DS:

I agree with this article and feel that Nintendo missed out on a great opportunity. There still is a possibility of them releasing it on WiiWare and DSiWare. The DS elements can be implemented in a number of innovative ways including the use of the microphone to communicate with friends/teammates and the use of two screens to enable dual-screen puzzles. Maybe this generation just wasn’t suited for Zelda FourSwords. There is still hope for the next generation as downloadable content becomes more relevant.

UPS Man steals over 100,000 worth of goods

This man is just crazy! What the hells is with Ninja stars/swords, Ninja sword set and a ballistic vest?! He stole some videogame related stuff including a Xbox 360 and Wii. Imagine what he could do with those things?

Microsoft sucks at Photoshop!

Well it seems one person at the Poland division at Microsoft will be fired for his bad Photoshop or should I say Microsoft Paint skills. What many consider racism is most likely Microsoft catering to the “complexion majority” in Poland. This was unnecessary and did not have to happen despite any feared outburst by a racist jerk. As Einstein said “Colour is money”! Well, maybe he didn’t say that….

WPA networks cracked in just under a minute

WPA networks aren’t that secure anymore! They can now be hacked in under a MINUTE! Well there is always WPA2 and AES.

Windows 7 application controls monitor backlight

This is one cool application. At night and at day the program adjusts the monitors brightness according to the lighting. I hope “sonic” does well in the Code 7 Contest!

Overall

While I have not posted much responses (it is night!) I promise I will post more responses in the coming months.

Zune Review Soon

I recently purchased a Zune 8 GB and will post a review of it. The review will contain pictures and video of the Zune and it’s many features. I’m really enjoying the Zune! It’s Great

Lack of Posts

I was busy lately going to several places and would like to apologize for the lack of posts. I will be positing some interesting things later on in the week.

Office 14 (2o1o)

I recently got a build of Office 2010 and will post a impressions/review of it. The only noticable changes so far are the addition of the ribbon in some applications.
