Nintendo Wii U

9:33 AM Technology And Information


The next generation of the Wii console, the Nintendo Wii U, has been showcased at the recent E3 show. The controller integrates a touch screen, gyroscope, accelerometer, camera, and motion detection. It’s a very strange controller and it seems a bit odd to switch between looking at your nice, large television and your small little controller. But, just as many were unsure of the extra effort swinging around a Wii controller, it was still a huge success for Nintendo and a hit among casual gamers.



The Wii U is expected to be released sometime late 2012. So we’ll keep an eye on any further updates to Nintendo’s latest incarnation. What do you think? Will this be a hit for Nintendo or a just a sad imitation of the Wii?

Modern Warfare 3 loses top spot to Skyrim in game charts

1:26 AM Technology And Information

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has finally been bumped down to second spot after it was revealed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now top of the UK all-platform games chart.

Despite having been given the fairly modest title of biggest entertainment launch in history the latest in the Call of Duty series has, after a very respectable four-weeks, been knocked off the top spot with Just Dance 3 and FIFA 12 in close contest at third and fourth place.



Sitting comfortably at fifth place is Assassin's Creed: Revelations while below that is Battlefield 3 and the likes of Saints Row: The Third and Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception.

The real question will be whether The Elder Scrolls can then hold onto this title for Christmas or whether Call of Duty will make a reccurence and grab the title of Christmas no.1.

Xbox Live- Is it going to challenge the Cable Box?

12:08 AM Technology And Information

Just recently, Microsoft has updated its Xbox Live online entertainment service with which all the subscribers will be able to watch mainstream television programming from the Xbox 360 console itself.

The Icing on the Cake

The icing on the cake is; the new update gives you the power to search for your favorite shows using hand gestures as well as voice commands if you have the Kinect peripheral for the Xbox. Interestingly, Microsoft will be adding a lot more to this service including Verizon FiOS, HBO, and Comcast’s Xfinity. It is important to note that the subscribers will have to pay their cable providers to get channels though the Xbox and along with that; they will be required to pay $60 a year which is the amount set by Microsoft for a premier membership.



Pros and Cons

Like everything in this world has its own share of pros as well as cons, likewise; the Xbox Console gadget cannot give the viewers all that they get through their cable boxes because content rights for some shows have to be negotiated before they can be streamed to the Xbox console.

The Bridge universal remote control to rule them all

6:15 PM Technology And Information

Universal remote controls? Don’t you think that this moniker is rather misleading, as they can’t really control everything that you want or have around the home? Well, trust enterprising folk to take a look at Kickstarter as the apt place to, well, kickstart their dreams. Case in point, the Bridge universal remote control from Convergence Technologies of New York. This concept is waiting for $50,000 in funds in order to be realized in the real world.





The amount of money requested is to fund the development of the relevant software, not to mention manufacturing as well as distribution costs of the remote. On paper and in theory, as with most of the other ideas, it seems to be foolproof – but hopefully, should the amount of money be raised, Convergence Technologies would be as good as their word. It seems that the Bridge is able to control RF devices such as the Boxee Box amongst numerous others, where the final product will retail for less than a Benjamin. If you think the Bridge has a chance, then $10 will net you a pin, while $20 returns a t-shirt, with $65 getting you one of the first units off the production line. The buttons do not seem to nice to press on, as though it was one of the entry level Nokia featurephones of old.
