"We are excited about the progress we’ve made optimizing Flash for tablets, alongside partners including Motorola, and expect our momentum to continue."


Lets hope it works just fine xD

SDK for Kinect , Yes Please

We have all seen the great potential of kinect . Since its launch , code rebels have hacked into the device creating amazing new ways of using the Xbox 360 device .

"Already, researchers, academics and enthusiasts are thinking through what’s next in natural and intuitive technology," Microsoft Blog editor Steve Clayton wrote in a post Tuesday. "The possibilities are endless.  Natural and intuitive technologies such as Kinect can be more than just a great platform for gaming and entertainment.  They open up enormous opportunities across a wide variety of scenarios, including addressing societal issues in areas such as healthcare and education."


The SDK for windows will be available for free in spring. With aprox. 10 million units already sold , who knows how many more will be sold now that probably a new platform will be able to use this device!

Ipad 2 Will Come right on time

A source close to the production revealed to Reuters that the new version of Ipad is not delayed .

Probably in March 2 Apple will announce the new version , which is expected to be faster , slimmer and have an higher resolution , although recent rumour suggest that the "retina display" will only be available for Ipad in the third version ( since it requires a huge amount of GPU , not yet achievable at efficient production costs )

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 11 11 11

First confirmed data about the game:

• Set 200 years after Oblivion, in a snow realm north of Cyrodil called Skyrim. Set during a civil war, possibly between two brothers who will accidentally cause the world-destroying dragon Alduin to be born.
• Player is a Dragonborne, able to slay dragons and trained by the last living Blade. 
• Ten races to choose from, players can edit bodies as well as faces.
• Combat more dynamic with finishing moves, unique weapon attacks and the ability to forge your own from red hot metal. Dual wielding a possibility. 
• 18 skills to choose from, as well as Fallout-esque Perks
• NPCs more dynamic. They will move around as they talk to you, rather than have the camera zoom in for a headshot. If you drop items, they will react to them -- for instance, a helpful child might try to pick up a dropped sword and return it to you, or two men could fight over your discarded loot.
• Quests can be randomly generated and are tailored to suit your style of play. The game judges your strengths and weaknesses by logging your data, and will give your appropriate challenges.
• Five "massive" cities that you can do many things in, such as smithing, farming, mining, woodcutting and cooking. Killing a shopkeep could lead to someone else taking the store over now, and Dragons may possibly launch attacks on towns.
• Five magic schools: Destruction, Alteration, Conjuration, Restoration and Illusion.
• The engine is entirely new, with dynamic snow and shadows, detailed trees, and water that flows differently depending on how the wind is blowing.
• Confirmed enemies are zombies, skeletons, trolls, giants, ice wraiths, giant spiders, dragons, wolves, horses Elk, mammoth and saber-toothed cats.
• Third person view has been improved. 
• Players can now sprint at the cost of stamina.
• BEARDS

The game will be released in 11 november 2011.

And btw... DRAGONS:

Tablets will kill netbook sales

The overall PC market is expected to top 400 million units this year.

Netbooks have been a small portable option over the past few years , but Ipad introduced ( well, there where tablets in the past... but they failed) a new , smaller (?) and more human style computer, the tablet.

These small tech devices are everything a computer is , but in a smaller and more connective way. They are not as powerful as a desktop computer ( compared to present times, they are more powerful than the average computer in 2004 ) , they are smaller than a portable , they are easier to use , they do almost everything a netbook does and they are much more cooler.

So Ipad created a new version of computers , a version that will consume the sole purpose of netbooks, being easier and smaller than portables.

However , only in a year or 2 , with Ipad 3 or 4 , we will see extremely powerful tablets ( comparing to nowadays average ) , with enhanced graphics , processing capacity and who knows, 3D screens. When that comes , tablets will be as ubiquitous as cell phones are.
