PlayStation Home krijgt deel voor volwassenen

clipped from www.hln.be De virtuele wereld voor de PlayStation 3 zal wellicht een afgesloten sectie krijgen die enkel voor volwassenen toegankelijk is. Dat heeft Sony bekendgemaakt tijdens het Edingburgh Interactive Festival, meldt de Telegraaf. De scheiding zal er bij de lancering van PlayStation Home nog niet zijn, maar Sony verwacht dat ze op de lange termijn onvermijdelijk is. Het bedrijf stelde wel dat pornografie ten strengste verboden blijft, maar nieuwe mogelijkheden als virtuele casino's of theaters voor gametrailers met een 18+ leeftijdsadvies zouden wel mogelijk zijn. PlayStation Home zal naar verwachting in november opengesteld worden voor betatesters. (sam)

JOYTECH Control Center 540C

Geweldige box om te gebruiken als je meerdere consoles, DVD spelers, digitaletv,..; enz hebt.

Je kan hem perfect laten switchen tussen ingangen zonder te moeten opstaan. Hij is ook bedienbaar met de Logitech Harmony remotes, waardoor je steeds met 1 druk op de knop heel je systeem automatisch correct zet.

Geweldig toestel!!!

clipped from www.ibood.com Ben je ook zo´n game freak en ben je in het bezit van meerdere consoles dan weet je dat de hoeveelheid aansluitingen op je TV een probleem zijn. Joytech, als voorloper op het gebied van design en geïntegreerde functionaliteit, heeft hiervoor de oplossing in de vorm van de Control Center. Hierop kan je maar liefst zes verschillende Audio/Video apparaten tegelijk aansluiten, zodat er uiteindelijk slechts een kabel op de TV hoeft is aangesloten. De Control Center ondersteunt vanzelfsprekend alle gangbare connectoren, zoals S-Video, composiet (tulp-)stekkers, component video, digitaal optisch 5.1 audio en zelfs vijf Ethernet-poorten. Zo kan je alle apparatuur in een keer aansluiten. Schakelen tussen de apparaten gebeurt simpelweg met de bijgeleverde afstandbediening. Dus ben jij het zat om telkens achter je TV te kruipen om de kabels te verwisselen dan is de Joytech Control center 540C ideaal voor jou!

The Skinny on Projection Screens

clipped from gizmodo.com If you have been toying with the idea of setting up a home theater with a projector, the guys over at Home Entertainment Mag have put together a handy guide for beginners that can help you maximize performance. They say the key is to match your projector with the right screen—and that means knowing what kinds of screens are out there, what size and shape you need, what to look for in terms of screen gain, whether a perforated screen is the way to go and what the deal is with rear projection. The basics of these issues are covered, and they offer up plenty of suggestions for you to investigate. Hit the link to check out all the details along with some pretty pictures.

iBasket Laundry Concept is Clothes Hamper, Washer For The Lazy

clipped from gizmodo.com Like most New Yorkers, my building has no laundry facilities of its own and, in order to get clean clothes, I have to summon the willpower to drag my brimming bag three blocks. Oh, if only I had this automated washing machine basket instead. Designed by Guopeng Liang and one of the finalists in Electrolux's Design Lab '08 contest, the iBasket is a space saving clothes hamper and washing machine in one. The device sports an all clear body and is programmed to begin the wash cycle once your clothes pile up to a certain weight. After giving your unmentionables a good rinse down, it sends a message to your PC or cellphone via its integrated wi-fi. Other than the annoyingly unimaginative name (trust me, iAm as iSick of iThis and iThat as you guys are), this gadget idea seems pretty golden. [Born Rich]

Uit eten: Wok dynasty

Vrij recent is er in Aartselaar aan het Laar een nieuwe wok open gegaan. Er was er reeds een hele tijd 1 op de Boomse steenweg, maar de foto's op het net weerhielden me ervan daar te gaan eten omdat het interieur er niet echt gezellig uit zag.

Na een paar goede referenties van de nieuwe wok gehoord te hebben zijn we eens een kijkje gaan nemen in Wok Dynasty.

Het gaat hier om een typisch wok concept waarbij je voor een vaste prijs zoveel mag eten als je wil. Er is keuze uit 2 soepen, verschillende koude en warme voorgerechten waaronder Dim Sum, Sushi en verschillende gefrituurde hapjes. Als hoofdgerecht kan je zelf je wok samen stellen met een keuze uit verschillende sausen van zacht naar zeer spicy. Ook kan je kiezen voor teppanyaki, waarbij de kok voor jou het gekozen vlles of vis laat bakken op een hete plaat. OVERHEERLIJK!!!!

Als nagerecht is er een keuze uit eis, fruit en taartjes...

Kortweg, voor iedereen wat wils.

De op de wijkaart is er een uitgebreide keuze uit verschillende wereldwijnen die schappelijk van prijs zijn. Het lijkt me echter wel dat de dranken hier over het algemeen net iets duurder zijn dan elders...

Dit is niet de resto waar je gezellig romantisch met zijn tweetjes moet gaan eten, maar met een aantal personen of grotere groepen, een ideaal concept.

We'll be back!

SoWine Bar Preserves Your Open Bottle For Up to 10 Days

clipped from gizmodo.com If popping open a box of Franzia and drinking until you pass out is your idea of a sophisticated evening, you will have no use for the SoWine Bar. Believe it or not, there are people out there that prefer to enjoy a bottle of wine over an extended period of time. SoWine allows those users to store two bottles, bring them to the correct drinking temperature, and keep them fresh when opened for up to 10 days (according to the manufacturer) using two separate air-tight refrigerated storage units. Most of the other preservation methods out there only get you an extra few days, so this represents a significant improvement. SoWine is available for around $600.

Film Industry Wants to Set a Standard For 3D Viewing at Home

Wanneer zullen we thuis onze eerste 3D film kunnen zien in? Ik kijk er in ieder geval al naar uit!!!

clipped from gizmodo.com The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the folks behind such innovations as the color bar test pattern, want to codify a standard for watching 3D content in home theaters. They're casting the net wide to include all possible sources and displays, from over-the-air broadcast to DVDs and Blu-ray. Ars points out that Hollywood is both excited to sell you their movies again, this time in glorious 3D, and worried about potential lost revenues at 3D theater screenings of, say, George Lucas's 3D Star Wars remake.

Lightning Review: Brother's $200 4-in-1 Printer (Verdict: Great and Cheap)

I have the predecessor at home (DCP 560CN) and I must admit that I am very satisfied with the product!!!

clipped from gizmodo.com The Gadget: Brother's MFC-5890CN 4-in-1 Inkjet Printer packs a fax, copier, printer and a scanner in one affordable, semi-compact unit. It also features a flip-up 3.3-inch color LCD and wireless networking capabilities. The Price: $200 The Verdict: It has been a long time since I last shopped for a printer, and if Brother's new addition to their Professional Series line is any indicator, consumers are getting a lot more for their buck these days. For less than $200 you can expect a 4-in-1 device that does all of its tasks exceedingly well.

PlayStation 3 Keypad to Bring Thumb Typing to PS3

NIET MEER NODIG!!!

Wat: PlayStation 3 original Sony Keypad
Prijs: +- €??
Waar te koop: ??

clipped from gizmodo.com Sony has just announced a keypad peripheral that sits on top of a DualShock 3 and SIXAXIS to allow QWERTY typing (it also appears to have its own Bluetooth connection and power source). A lot like the keypad Microsoft released a while back for the 360, it also has a touchpad for mouse support as well (that could even be used in some games). The pad will come in 8 different configurations/languages for PAL regions this November and there's no US release announcement yet.

Emily Isn't Real, But Would You Have Guessed?

Cool!

clipped from gizmodo.com The woman above is not real. I mean, she was real once, when real actress Emily O’Brien provided Image Metrics (you know their work from GTAIV) with 35 facial poses in front of a pair of digital cameras. From there, O’Brien was dismissed so the animators could go to work. Apparently "ninety per cent of the work is convincing people that the eyes are real." And the results—while not always perfect—are pretty extraordinary. Here's Emily's "interview": I'm not sure if Emily has quite crossed the uncanny valley, but one thing's for sure. Dating sims are about to get a whole lot more interesting. If only these models didn't look like they were wearing dentures. [timesonline via neatorama and technabob]

Sony's PlayTV DVR for PlayStation 3 gets unboxed

clipped from www.engadget.com Time flies when you're having fun, but not when you're waiting anxiously for a new piece of kit -- particularly one that has been delayed numerous times. For Europeans waiting on pins and needles for the release of the PlayTV DVR for PlayStation 3, your time has arrived. Before rushing out to get one, however, might we interest you a short unboxing and a brief overview? No pressure whatsoever, though.

Sony gets official with PSP-3000

clipped from www.engadget.com It's not like Sony could really keep this thing under wraps for much longer, but the company finally did the deed by announcing the PSP-3000 at the Leipzig Games Convention. The unit itself will look exactly like the PSP-2000, though it will feature an "improved screen that's better outside with no glare and a built-in mic." The juicy tidbits have yet to surface, but we are told to expect the new handheld in Europe for €199 ($291) on October 15th.

PlayOn Brings Hulu and More to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Netflix Next

Leuk!

clipped from gizmodo.com PlayOn, a program that allows Hulu, ESPN, YouTube and CBS streaming from a Windows PC to a PS3, Xbox 360 or HP MediaSmart TV, has just been released as a free beta to the public (well, the first 60 days are free, after that it'll cost $30). And to make things even better, the software should expand to support Netflix streaming and the Nintendo Wii within the year. Finally, that whole console becoming as complicated as a PC trend is paying off. [PlayOn via PS3Fanboy]

The Criterion Collection's Reference Blu-ray Player: The PlayStation 3

Niet echt nieuws, maar toch leu kom zelfs uit de professionele film wereld nog eens de bevestignig te krijgen dat de PS3 de beste Blu Ray speler op de markt is!!!

clipped from gizmodo.com The folks at the Criterion Collection know a thing or two about movies. They restore classic films for release on DVD and, starting later this year, Blu-ray. So when they set up their screening rooms, you'd expect them to have some crazy $1,000 Blu-ray player, right? Nope. The Criterion Collection people rock a PlayStation 3 for use as their reference Blu-ray player. If you needed further proof that the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player out there, now you have it. [CNET]

Muwi Concept Lawnmower Turns Waste Grass into Playthings

clipped from gizmodo.com The electric-sheep lawnmower may have tickled your fancy, but this Muwi concept mower from designer Yuli Sung will have you scratching your head. The concept's roughly the same as the sheep: It automatically assesses the grassy areas, and then cuts the lawn without supervision required. Cunningly, it grabs the grass cuttings inside where they won't lie around setting off people's hay fever. But then it does something strange... it compacts the cuttings into toys. Scratching yet? The second image makes it clearer. Okay, so the ball could be considered more a plaything, while the grass disks are perhaps more suited for piling up as ad-hoc lawn chairs. Although there's always the possibility of a game of giant grass Frisbee... How many sneezes and streaming eyes would that set off, I wonder? Those grass "bails" would easy to pick up and chuck onto the compost pile too. Nice lateral thinking here, and for once it's a concept that I'd love a manufacturer to get to grips with for real.
