DiGiTaL_MoNkEY has posted a huge thread summarising CES 2008 as it unfolds. Considering the amount of new technology announcements that come from CES 2008, i thought it would be useful for a single thread with general news updates and discussion. I’ll be hunting the net for the latest news & announcements and posting them in this thread, obviously everyone is free to posts any news they encounter to share with everyone. :) OCIA have the inevitable booth babe pics. :)
Atomic have posted an article with more details about Nintek's demise. There's lots of good info in the first post of the Whirlpool thread, too.
SETI@Home are looking for more volunteers to crunch the data from their radio telescopes. "The next generation SETI@home is 500 times more powerful then anything anyone has done before," said project chief scientist Dan Werthimer. "That means we are 500 times more likely to find ET than with the original SETI@home."
These from mpot: TopGear presenter Jeremy Clarkson got scammed after publishing his bank account details in a newspaper. Also an interesting look at Microsoft, titled "Lessons from Microsoft: Innovation and Competition".
LegitReviews found a 72GB SATA SSD from SanDisk, at CES. SanDisk informed us that the SSD SATA 5000 1.8" has been trimmed down in size and weight to fit inside new, sleek laptops. It measures only 5mm in height, and weighs less than 45 grams.
From echelon: Just stumbled across a very interesting little application. It appears to be an in-game overlay that ties in multiple game-specific wikis (e.g. WoWWiki), non-game-specific chat applications like MSN, a browser, a music app, server finder etc.
CNet may be taken over soon, thanks Craig. The company, founded in 1992, has more than 2,600 employees. It has been particularly hard hit because of increased competition in its core market from technology-focused blogs like TechCrunch, written by a handful of people at a fraction of the cost.
TCMag have an interesting history of gaming that never was. Gems have been produced, and you let them slide by, teaching the game publishing world that all you want really is ‘more of the same’, and in this case, ‘the same’ happens to be Madden, Fifa, Pro Evolution Soccer, and uninspired ‘realistic’ shooters.
Bit-Tech have a story about how someone became a game designer, in part 1 and part 2. When we left the story, James had just entered in a competition to have his indie game published on Xbox Live. Now, read the second part to find out how he bagged the prize without winning and completed the transition from dishwasher to game designer.
