Now, what I first hear about America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking
It turns your DS into a kind of kitchen computer, as it were. You can select an ingredient, and it’ll show you all the recipes that contain that ingredient. Pick a recipe, and it’ll give you the full details. If you already have a Nintendo DS, and like America’s Test Kitchen, this is worth looking at!
A Purdue University researcher is working on an oven that can deep fry foods without an oil fryer.
That chip in the case of my iFrog case I bought at the AT&T store appeared not to long after getting the case. The same thing happened to my wife’s case. I’m very disappointed in the quality.
I brought a Casecrown case, same color, and so far I’ve been happy with it. I won’t be buying from iFrog again.
Just FYI.
My first reaction to Google Buzz:
Ok, so it integrates with Gmail. Did it ever occur to anyone at Google that it might just expose a lot of e-mail addresses to spammers? And that not everyone you follow on places like Twitter (or that want to follow you) on Twitter are people that you want to have your e-mail?
Or that people that you MUST exchange e-mail with aren’t necessarily people you want snooping your social network?
IGN has a review of the new Star Trek MMO. It’s PC only.
Sometimes someone trying to do some good on the freeway actually succeeds.
The Consumerist is reporting that DirecTV is about to hike prices.
The thing I’m hoping for? That DirecTV and TiVo will finally announced availability of their new DVR at CES this week.
Oh, and companies – Quit it with the upper and lowercase in your company names. It’s annoying.
Have an Android phone?
Check out Google Goggles. Take a picture of something, and it’ll search it for you.
I have to wonder – are the images being uploaded to the server? If so, are they geotagged, to improved Google’s database?
Google introduced a new programming language: Go
It’s a merging of Python and C++. Read more about it at GoLang.org
Gizmodo has a story about a new tablet that Microsoft is working on.
As far as the software goes, that at least looks interesting, but I really not sure of that hardware.
Between the two screens that will touch each other when the thing closes, the middle bar that looks like it’ll get in the way, and the pen interface that will make you write out URLS… I’m not sure I’m sold.
One would hope that they create a whole new OS for this thing, and won’t rely on Windows Anything for the programming side. There’s just too much baggage there, and with a completely new device they have a chance to break away.
Do I think they’ll do that? Nope. I can hope though.
