The Ultimate Matrix Collection to make Blu-ray debut on October 14th {Engadget HD}
Jul 25th 2008 2:11AM Won't buy it. I already bought the HD DVD collection (not the ultimate one) and saw that the last 2 movies still suck. I guess they still suck on Blu-ray, and my HD DVD player still works.
PlayStation Home's public areas region locked {Joystiq}
Jul 17th 2008 11:57AM Region locks ? Soooo 90s...
Sony still has some homework to do to get their act together... and so are the other console makers, movie studios and every stupid marketer who's not able to think globally.

Jul 1st 2008 7:01PM Why would I buy another player when I have a perfectly fine PS3 ?

Jun 25th 2008 7:27PM The AX200U has one decisive advantage on the AE2000 which can make a huge difference for the wife's business use : Light output.
Yes, it's only 720p, so what ? 720p is plenty HD,and the AX200 tops it off with superb color reproduction and a fantastic brightness that make it useable even if there's quite a bit of ambient light.
Montreal's Public Bike System uses RFID, solar power, and tons of social trust {Engadget}
Jun 23rd 2008 8:35AM I've been in Paris this winter, and this thing seems to work brilliantly there. Montreal is the international capital of bike theft, so they'd better make sure the monitoring system works. The only other problem I see here, is that we won't be able to use it 6 months a year.

Mother's campaign to bring video game seizure concerns to British Parliament a success {Joystiq}
Jun 16th 2008 6:14PM They mention it in the article :
"PSE global expert, Professor Graham Harding, has backed the campaign. He devised the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyser - an automated screening system able to process TV and video material in real time and used as the television industry standard since 1994."
Of course Harding has backed the campaign... This lady has just opened him a brand new market !
I don't exactly remember the price of a Harding Flash and Pattern Analyser, but as with every government-backed monopoly, it's frakking expensive.
Mother's campaign to bring video game seizure concerns to British Parliament a success {Joystiq}
Jun 16th 2008 4:07PM These "tests" are made by government-approved software that look for certain patterns. Suffice it to say nearly every other Japanese anime would massively fail those tests.
This is just another example of an entire industry being lowered to another lowest common denominator. Because if this follows the pattern established by TV and film industry every time this kind of dumb legislation has been put forward, this kind of stuff will stifle creativity. Once more.
