Ummmm... getting this. Fa sho.

Microsoft's Project Natal

At E3 today, Microsoft unveiled the new Project Natal. It basically eliminates (or tries to) the need for the controller. Hence, you are your character and the character moves just as you move. Check out the video click for it in action. The video looks amazing. But we'll have to wait to see how it works in real life to determine if it really is that great.

I like the fact that you can use your own stuff in the video game, but if you can use your own stuff, why not just go skateboarding instead of skateboarding in a video game? Also, I see a lot of furniture being broken with this thing. Not just TVs like with the Wii controller.

I also liked the Chuck Norris trick question.

The project was named Natal for a city in Brazil where the lead developer is from.

"Alex Kipman, who incubated the project and is from Brazil, chose Natal, a city along the northeastern coast of Brazil, as a tribute to his country. In addition, he knew that Natal also means "to be born" in Latin. Given the new audiences "Project Natal" will bring to Xbox 360, this felt right." [Kotaku]

iTunes Gets Ready for iPhone 3.0, Potential 32GB iPhones?

The latest version of iTunes (8.2) is now available for download. There are some bug fixes as usual, but the biggest thing is that the update now makes your iTunes ready for the new iPhone OS 3.0 which should come out at WWDC on June 8th (as you can see from our generic countdown).

Speaking of June 8th, that could very well be the date that Apple officially announces that they will be releasing a new iPhone to go along with the new firmware. Apparently the new hardware will have a serious upgrade as well. According to Engadget, Apple has required the right to release a phone or phones with 32 GB hard drives.

4GB to 32GB -- that's one hell of a range, but we're hearing from a trusted source that new iPhones in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities just garnered approval by the PCS Type Review Certification Board, the standards body responsible for certificating handsets for use with some carriers (AT&T, for instance).

Looks like everything is coming along smoothly on this first day of June. A iPhone Summer is way better than a white Christmas!

Another Idiot Gets a Tattoo

PreCentral.net was running a contest called WWYD for a Palm Pre. This guy decided to get a tattoo of the pre in an effort to win the contest. Fortunately he did win and got the $199 phone for free. I'm pretty sure the tattoo cost more than that. Not to mention its fugly. In fact, I don't know whats uglier, the tattoo of the phone or the actual phone itself. What a moron.

Here's a closeup. [PreCentral]

Dick Cheney Supports Gay Marriage

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday he supports gays being able to marry but believes states, not the federal government, should make the decision.

"I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish."

Cheney, who has a gay daughter, said marriage has always been a state issue.

"And I think that's the way it ought to be handled today, that is, on a state-by-state basis. Different states will make different decisions. But I don't have any problem with that. I think people ought to get a shot at that," he said.

Take that, Carrie Prejean!

...And Now I'm Glad the Lakers Won

Denver Nuggets fans are jerks. Correction, this Denver Nuggets fan is a jerk. And an idiot. And an asshole. Way to go. Way to prove that the smack that people in Dallas and now the country are saying about you and your team is actually true. You have no class.

Kobe and the Lakers just proved that with the exception of Chauncey Billups, your team's basketball IQ is around 0. Kenyon Martin to Nene to JR Smith to Dahntay Jones. 0! In fact. Birdman might be the second smartest player on your team.

Oh and by the way, Kobe was never proven guilty. I was rooting for Denver to beat the Lakers, but now, I'm glad Denver and it's idiotic fans lost. I'll reiterate: YOU HAVE NO CLASS! Sorry Chauncey. [Deadspin]

New HDMI 1.4 Features Revealed

For those who don't know, an HDMI cable is the ridiculously expensive cable required to connect an HDTV to a video component like a bluray player or digital cable. The newly released HDMI spec brings several new features to the consumer. The biggest of which is an integrated Ethernet channel that will provide network connectivity to connected devices thereby eliminating the need for a separate network connection via the Ethernet cable. But with all its glory, there's one huge flaw, it comes in 5 different average-joe-confusing varieties. So if choosing a HDTV wasn't confusing enough, then choosing the right cable will be!
