Nintendo Announces Dual Camera DSi (2)
on
Wired: Gadget Lab (151) permalink
Nintendo has announced a new "complementary" version of its DS handheld. The DSi will sell alongside the current DS, and gains a slew of new features, most notably two cameras -- one in the back of the case for taking pictures and one below the screen for grabbing snaps of the user. We're sure the DS homebrew scene will come up with some kind of video-VoIP solution, but we guess that Nintendo will be using ...Shared by BillDeys (2) William Spaetzel (19)Contribute comment -

But which one of us hasn't thrown a pillow at the television st the scene where the secret-holding horseback-riding postman passes a flustered and scared Romeo. That movie, and a few others, have been re-shot by College Humor staff in "If All Movies Had ...Contribute comment -

In the following Canne-nominated commercial, Sylvania wants us to see that even the scariest ghost can look utterly ridiculous under the light of their light bulbs.

Do URLs Matter to Normal People? (6)

webmonkey (142) permalink
As web developers, we all care about URLs. When Google complained about URL rewriting, many balked. We may work late to get everything just so, but URLs don’t matter a bit to most people. When I ask my Dad to go to a specific URL in his browser he says, “I don’t use a browser. I just use my email and eBay.” A friend’s mom thinks Yahoo is the internet. So, it’s really a stubborn ...Shared by chrisbrogan.com (10) mrreynolds (18) sparrowsmith (3) Stu Andrews (9) Verdi (19) William Spaetzel (19)Contribute comment -

The International Olympic Committee has trademarked a line from the Canadian national anthem, "with glowing hearts," and is threatening to sue anyone who uses the line in Canada, as part of the Vancouver Games. This is par for the course. The IOC is a corrupt, bullying, greedy, hypocritical organization that uses trademark laws to limit the free speech and commerce of people who have the misfortune to attend or live near the games -- for ...Shared by Axel (11) Bob Goyetche (22) bodzasfanta (123) Daniel Wayne Armstrong (13) div_conspiracy (18) eoin (1) g b (27) J.

Darvaza: A Gate to Hell on Earth (4)

The result? Check it out below. Located near the ...Contribute comment

jQuery and Microsoft - ScottGu's Blog (68)

ScottGu's Blog (133) permalink
jQuery is a lightweight open source JavaScript library (only 15kb in size) that in a relatively short span of time has become one of the most popular libraries on the web. A big part of the appeal of jQuery is that it allows you to elegantly (and efficiently) find and manipulate HTML elements with minimum lines of code. jQuery supports this via a nice "selector" API that allows developers to query for HTML elements, and ...Shared by .mau.
