Well, we had quite a bit of fun this week telling the world about piracy and watching iTunes get cracked. We also have a contest running — all you have to do is tell us your ISP horror stories and you could win a Sansa Connect. Most importantly, however, Peter Suciu has been examining game violence this week, talking with game designers, ESRB representatives, and trying — but failing — to get Jack Thompson to talk to him. Read through his excellent interviews for a better look at a very topical issue.
Oh, and we also learned that Japanese smartphones are better than U.S. smartphones. Who knew?
Considering the Japanese cellular market is years ahead of our own, it seems likely that their smartphones would better than our own. Good week.
Thanks for the great low downs. What would we do without TC?
Hey,how ya doin? Fine I hope. Sir, what do you know about Virtual Realality ? I’m thinking that we should be able to do things in which we would normaly not be able to do. I guess Simulators are more of what I have in mind. When I say simulators, it’s because I think the way Pilots practice their flying skills. Personaly, the reason I’d like to own a Virtual Reality Simulator would be for me to practice “Wing Chun Kung Fu”. Much
of the practicing of this particular art can be done alone without a partner.
There is an aspect to it that involves developing sensitivity,”The Feel”.This is an up close form… Heck .. though . why not use a”V.R.S.” to take a vacation? Like say- – -> Go to the Grand Canyon ! How could it be made to seem as real as possible? Can people actualy go places this way and come away feeling like they’ve really been there? It would be neat to hear your thoughts on this subject …….. I’ve got the idea for this thing,but need someone who’ll put the technical part to it. The possibilities are endless ….
sincerely , John P.
