TI Boy – TI-84 Gameboy Emulator
July 1, 2009 by Leave a Comment
A Gameboy Emulator has been created for the Texas Instruments graphic calculators. It is compatible with TI-83+SE, TI-84+, and TI-84+SE calculators and has advanced far enough that it does more then the original black and white that the first emulator was capable of. As of now it can render 4 greyscales and gives you the ability to switch over the blacks and whites.
The software was written by Brendan Fletcher and it runs on the Z-80 based calculators due to the CPU’s being similar. [Read more…]
Stop Motion Lego Arcade
July 1, 2009 by 1 Comment
This stop motion video was created by Michael Hickox and features 6 1980’s retro style arcade games. The results are quite cool and do bring back a bunch of memories.
Pacman for example has all the noises, ghosts, pac-dots and power pellets and when pacman eats one of the ghosts who turns blue and then you see the eyes make it back to it’s home in the middle of the screen. [Read more…]

July 1, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Fujitsu and N-Trig have teamed up to created a new touchscreen controller named DuoSense. The display is multitouch and will allow for 10 or more simultaneous touch points at very high refresh rates. Like it’s predecessor (also named the DuoSense) this controller also uses capacitive touch making it possible to use both pen and fingers if needed. The display is transparent and sits on top of your display. The electronics needed to run the DuoSense are tucked around the edge of the frame. [Read more…]
Asus Blu-Ray USB Drive
June 30, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Asus have created a new Blu-Ray USB Drive. The drive has a read speed of 4.8x for BD’s and can read/write CD’s and DVD’s. Unfortunately it does not write BD’s though.
The Blu-Ray drive, numbered ASUS SBC-04D1S-U comes with a stand allowing it to be mounted vertically if needed. The downside of the drive (apart from the no writing BD thing) is that it’s tray loading rather then slot which I would have more expected with this unit. [Read more…]

microUSB is the new Mobile Phone Charging Standard
June 30, 2009 by Leave a Comment
For the last few years the GSM Association has been trying to get a charging standard across all mobile phones. Finally, the new standard has emerged with microUSB being the new way to connect a charger to your mobile phone. The roll out will start in Europe over the next few years where the large manufacturers which includes LG, Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Research in Motion, NEX, Qualcomm and TI. Strangely enough, there is no mention of HTC who have become big in the smart phone race. However, I believe that most, if not all, of their phones already use the microUSB standard to charge.

iPhone 3G S Jailbreak Ready – But you’re not allowed it yet
June 29, 2009 by 1 Comment
The iPhone 3G S has been cracked now by the Dev Team. However, they have decided not to release it just yet. There is a good reason for this though which is they are expecting Apple to release a 3G S update sooner rather then later to fix a few bugs. If the Dev Team let the hack out in to the open then Apple will use it to fix this upcoming update, thus blocking all new iPhone 3G S users from having their iPhone 3G S jailbreak capable.
