EPIC FAIL.

No other words needed :)

YoWindow

A short post today, about a program I discovered recently called YoWindow. It is a weather program that simulates the weather where you are onto an animated landscape, just like looking out of the window. Its a really good looking program and what is great is that you can set it as a screensaver, which will display live animated weather. You can also display the weather in a YoWindow widget; see below; which also looks great.
My simple advice is DOWNLOAD IT!

PS3....D?

I recently learnt that Sony were releasing a new BRAVIA model around June, which runs TV at 200Hz, so is 3D capabale. As a BRAVA owner myself, allbeit a 28" not-so-great one, I was happy. Then I heard that Sony were releasing a firmware update for PS3 so that it could play 3D games. As a PS3 owner myself, I was happy. But there are many questions that need to be answered. Will it be what I call "Depth 3D" or "Real 3D". Depth 3D is being used very frequently now. It is where the 3D-ness simpply adds extra depth to what you see. What I call "Real 3D" is where stuff actually appears to stick out of the screen. If BRAVIA TVs along with the PS3 update will be able to run games where stuff sticks out of the TV, then I am well and truly exited. I can imagine Metal Gear Solid 4 where you're stealthily hidden round a corner and the barrel of a guard's AK47 sticks out of the screen as they walk around the corner, or a crash on Burnout Paradise where debris comes flying out of the screen at your face. It will be EPIC. If it's just "Depth 3D", then its not so amazing. Where I say "just", I'm not disregarding how difficult it must be to get even Depth 3D onto a home TV and then to be there on every frame of an ever-changing game, just that it will be TOTALLY EPIC if it is what I call "Real 3D".

Also, on a totally unrelated note, am I the only one who thinks that sneezing really powerfully on a chessboard during a chess match is like using a tactical nuke on COD, in that they both destroy all units in the area?
