by ·Comments Off on America’s Test Kitchen – Let’s Get Cooking For Nintendo DS

Now, what I first hear about America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking, I thought that it was just another one of those cooking games like Cooking Mama which frankly would have been crazy. I mean, can you see a little Christopher Kimball running around taste testing things, or explaining beef cuts in a video game? TV, sure, but not in a video game.

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!

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.

Update: For my iPhone 5s, I bought a OtterBox Defender iPhone case

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?

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.
