Okay, I lied in the title, it is actually just vapour (which is way more boring). This reporter is playing a game of Fruit Ninja on Displair (at the low low price of only $10,000), this demo shows how bad technology isshows how expensive a game of Fruit Ninja isonly shows that tablets are much better shows how vapour can be used to have an image projected onto it, thus giving the appearance of playing on thin air.
As you can tell the performance isn't the best due to low response times, it won't be available to consumers (read: peasants) for at least 5 years so hopefully the product will improve by then.
So, apparently Sony has officially stopped manufacturing PlayStation 2's after selling over 150 million units, and also 6 years after its successor was released, the PS3. Don't worry, don't feel bad I also had no idea they were still being made up until recently (seriously.. who would even use a PlayStation 2 still?) "After over 150 million units sold, Sony has finally put the PlayStation 2 out to pasture.
Even now, as we bid the old bird farewell, the PS2 can hold its
proverbial head high. Over 1.5 billion copies of nearly 11,000 titles
were sold over the last 12 years. The 70 million PS3 sales to date pale
in comparison the the numbers put up by the PS2. In fact, by the
numbers, the PS2 is -- make that was -- the most successful console of
all time." Who cares? Goodnight sweet prince.
This is a Big Daddy sculpture from Bioshock built out of LEGO, by Finnish LEGO lover Pate-Keetongu. The sculpture wasn't completely made from LEGO, it is built from pieces of the Lego from the "Exo-Force flying mecha sets" and the hand drill is a piece from a "Rock Raiders set" from the late 1990's. "The body is built of pieces from the Lego Exo-Force flying mecha sets,
and the arms use ball joints and are movable. For the the builder used a
"Big ball" or "Tectonic ball" piece, which is held onto the body with
the bricks and tubes around it. The Big Daddy's hand drill is a piece of
the classic Rock Raiders sets from the late 1990s." I would definitely love to buy this as a set and built it however unfortunately it would not meet LEGO's target demographic, but I can always steal his design, ideas and build it myself dream. That and buy other LEGO sets in the mean time. The construction process and loads more pictures of the Big Daddy can be found on his blog.
Now, I normally wouldn't stoop down to such a low level where this blog's content is purely cats (yes, yes I would) but this is too much fun not to post. The YouTube user Ignoramusky's cat is literally terrified of the Mario jump sound, every time it hears it, it jumps up in fear.
Well, that's pretty much it. Interesting I know, and since this will be the last post of 2012, gtfo have a happy new years.
