Microsoft releases Zune HD

I haven't seen one in person yet but I have the old 30g and I love it. I think one of the coolest things about the Zune is that you can sync your library through your wireless network.





You can download the latest Zune software here.

Tech related anime

OK, so when people ask me "what is that on your wallpaper" and I say "It's Re-L Mayer from Ergo Proxy" or "Motoko Kusanagi" from Ghost in the Shell" I usually get the look that says "uh ok...". When most people think of anime they think of Pokemon or some other cartoon that kids watch on Saturday morning or whenever. The thing is there is a lot of anime out there aimed at older audiences and no I'm not talking about the stuff you have to be 18 to buy. What I don't understand is why people discard it just because it's animated. If your a Sci Fi person and you have never watched the three films below, then I encourage you to give them a try. Don't dismiss them just because their animated. The stories are very deep and philosophical so you will have to think a bit but if you enjoy technology related movies then I think you will like these. Yes they are all available in English dub.

PlayStation3 system is now $299

The new PS3 Slim is now available and Sony has dropped the price to a more affordable $299. I've owned a PS3 for almost two years now and can say that it has been worth every penny of the $399 I had to pay for it. However, I use it more for its Blu-ray and media server capabilities than I do for games. If you're not interested in all of the media features and the games you want to play are available on other systems, then I would recommend buying a Wii or Xbox and save yourself some money. Also, the backward compatibly feature is still not available. Only the first generation PS3's with the media card reader support this.    

Here is a list of some of the big changes made to the Slim:
  • The "Install other OS" feature has been removed. So you can't install Linux. 
  • The power and eject switches on the front are now physical buttons that you press.
  • The hard drive has been relocated to the front and can be removed easily so you can upgrade your drive without voiding the warranty.
  • There is no power switch in the back.
  • Upgraded 128GB hard drive
