SimSimi: A Chatting Robot

2012-03-20T01:12:00.000-07:00

This is SimSimi, it is a chatting robot. You can chat with SimSimi all day in different languages. You can teach it sentences to respond to certain greetings of users who chat with it. Considering that millions of people chat with SimSimi daily, it learns a lot of new sentences and words which it can use to respond to people.

SimSimi can be cute and sweet, but sometimes it can also say some things which may insult you (or make you laugh.) Keep in mind that the things SimSimi would say were taught to it by millions of people around the world. You can have fun talking to SimSimi, but remember that you still have some crazy friends which say stupider things around (unless you are forever alone.)

You can download SimSimi for FREE on the Apple App Store or on the Android Market.
You can also chat with SimSimi online at www.simsimi.com

Turn Google Translate to a Beatbox

2011-08-10T08:12:00.001-07:00

You can turn Google Translate into a beatbox (straight to the point..?)

Here's how:

1) Go to Google Translate
2) Set the translator to translate German to German
3) Copy + paste the following into the translate box: pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pvzkpkzvpvzk kkkkkk bsch
4) Click “listen”
5) Be amazed

***********

Another fact is that when you Copy+Paste those letters (the ones on no. 3) the "Listen" button on the right side actually says "Beatbox".

You can also make your own variations of beats....

just try mixing up those letters or just go freestyle on your keyboard...

Have fun!! :)

Nintendo 3DS Price drops to $170 on Aug. 12, 20 Free Games for Current Owners

2011-07-31T01:31:00.000-07:00

The Nintendo 3DS, which currently costs $249, is gonna have an $80 price drop, making it cost only $169. This price drop is gonna happen on August 12 in preparation for the launch of the console’s E3 A-List titles. This cut is also (probably) a way to increase the 3DS's sales, since it has had slow initial sales.

People who currently own the console will get ten free NES games and ten free GameBoy Advance titles on September 1 (provided they’ve logged into the Nintendo eShop before August 12.)

The New "Friendster"

2011-07-02T09:24:00.000-07:00

After shutting down, deleting people's profiles and all of their pictures, Friendster has finally come back again. This is the new Friendster, it's still the same social networking site that we loved.....with a whole new different look!

The site now focuses mostly on games, some of which are "Forest Story", "Goodgame Cafe", "Buffet Wars", and "Big Business" which are, in some ways, like Facebook games.

You also get a cute little profile with your own cute little avatar. The new profile looks like a gaming profile, obviously since Friendster is now focusing on games (probably). The new Friendster site is cute and I love playing some of the games but in some way or another I will always miss the old Friendster even though I didn't have much time to spend with it :(

You can now create your very own Friendster account and start playing it's games, just click here.

***************

Old Friendster you will be missed...

Thank you for spending all these times with us and having fun with us all these years.

You were a great friend :)

We will miss you, we love you so very much...

Make cute, inedible food, with a cute, fake little kitchen.

2011-06-25T01:18:00.000-07:00

This is the "Konapun - Hamburger Kitchen", a Japanese toy made by BANDAI. Basically, you just cook some tiny food (which are inedible) in a tiny toy kitchen, serve your fake food, then drool thinking that you just made some delicious looking food but can't eat it.

The "Konapun" doesn't cook with real heat, it's just some special powder mixed with water. It also doesn't use real oil, it's some kind of fake oil made of special powder mixed with water. The fake food will also rot soon. And remember, THIS IS INEDIBLE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EAT IT....estoufed.

You can buy this and other Konapun sets here. So, would you rather make these tiny fake food or go cook up some real edible food?

I'm sorry if I haven't posted anything these past few days, I've been really busy at school. I hope you guys enjoy my blog and continue to read and support it :)

Have you seen the movie "UP" yet? Well, everyone has probably seen it, and thought "Hey, I can do that with my house. I just need a bazzillion balloons.". National Geographic did too, and they actually made a house fly with about 300 colorful balloons. Here are some photos:

Sony SmartAR (video)

2011-05-24T02:23:00.000-07:00

The text is in Japanese though.But who cares! The video says it all :D

This is Sony's new Augmented Reality technology "SmartAR". The company has been working on AR technologies since 1994 and have now invented "SmartAR". The technology can also identify 3D structures to let objects blend in smoothly. Thanks to a combination of advanced object recognition, matching and image tracking tech objects can be identified and then tracked at high speed, as Sony says. As we can see in the video, Sony's "SmartAR" is very impressive.

Rolltop, future laptop?

2011-04-30T09:40:00.000-07:00

OMG, someday we'll be able to roll up our laptops like a yoga mat! This is the Rolltop, the laptop of the future. The rolltop has a flexible OLED display which is also capable of multitouch. It becomes a 17-inch flat screen when rolled out and can be folded to become a 13-inch tablet.

The detachable stand stores the Rolltop's power adapter, stylus, and USB ports.

Watch this video, it says it all about the Rolltop.

Yes, I know you want one, we all do.

The Rolltop is a pretty cool device although it is still a concept.

The PlayStation Phone

2011-04-29T08:52:00.000-07:00

The Xperia Play which is also known as the PlayStation Phone has been seen all over the internet for a long time. The Xperia Play is probably the only PlayStation certified Android device, the device will be launched worldwide (I don't know when). The price isn't clear yet but it's said to be about 500 Euros or 741 dollars. The price is,well, unexpected but what do you expect a phone that can play PS games would cost?

The Xperia Play can play full PlayStation games, it has a slide out controller which makes gaming a lot more fun. Here are the things you can find on the slide out controller:

Digital D-Pad
Dual Analog Touchpads
Sony PlayStation Buttons
Two Shoulder Bumpers
Additionally the touchscreen is active.

Here are some of the specs:

1GHz Qualcomm CPU
512 MB of RAM
1GB ROM
MicroSD card slot
Touchscreen (between 3.7″ and 4.1″)
Multitouch pad on the lower half of the slider

Users can expect some 5-7 games that will come with the device including the following titles:

Crash Bandicoot
FIFA 10
The Sims 3
Tetris
Flight Control
Bruce Lee

Sony Ericsson has indeed did a good job combining the Need and the Want, making a device which has two things the people of today will need to survive which are Communication and Gaming (nah,the people of today can probably survive without these. I won't though.).

Glitch, a new MMO!

2011-04-22T10:02:00.000-07:00

Doh.doh.doh.doh.GLITCH!

Glitch is a brand new MMO which is like no other, in other words, it's completely unique! The game is a project of some people who brought you Flickr, it's a product of TinySpeck. It's currently in beta (and I'm currently waiting to get the secret code in my email so I can join in the beta fun).

The game takes place in the minds of 11 giants (11 weird looking,extra terrestrial, totally awesome, cool giants). The game isn't about killing monsters or farming, it's about building, developing and growing. You can do favors, learn new skills, you can even make smoothies! As what Glitch's description said "You choose how to grow and shape the world: building and developing, learning new skills, collaborating or competing with everyone else in one enormous, ever-changing, persistent world.".Every player's actions have the ability to affect the other players in the game, which means every player contributes to the world of Glitch.

Aren't they cute :)

The characters look interesting and unique just like the game. And, as what I've read, there will be a wide variety of outfits and other stuff you can buy in the game, there will also be premium accounts available by subscription. The game is totally free to play, but if you want a premium account you'll have to pay some real cash, there are also some items in the game which you can only buy using real money. And, the game has eggplants, eggplants make it different...and cool.

I haven't really played the game yet so that's probably all I can tell you for now. You can sign up to play the game early on Glitch's official website here.

Wow, the people at TinySpeck sure know how to make a cool trailer.......

♪ Doh.doh.doh.doh.GLITCH! For a really long time, eleven giants walked around.They thought of...♪

Sony NGP (aka PSP 2)

2011-04-21T07:47:00.000-07:00

Sony has unveiled it's latest handheld device which was formally known as the PSP 2 but is actually named NGP or Next Generation Portable (cool name huh). The NGP will feature a 5 inch OLED screen, capacitive multitouch, a rear multitouch surface, 3G, PlayStation Suite support, motion control, a quad-core CPU, a quad-core GPU, and 2 full control sticks. The NGP will also be capable of playing full PS3 games. The device has three motion sensors, an electronic compass, an accelerometer, GPS, and a gyroscope. It has rear and front facing cameras ( I don't really know the strength of these cameras). The system has the standard D-Pad, four face buttons (shapes), L and R shoulder buttons, Start, Select, a PlayStation button, a power button up top, and a volume toggle.

Like the PSP Go, there is no UMD drive on the device, or any form of disc drive, for that matter. Older PSP games will be available for download on the official PlayStation Store and stored on the device via a new proprietary flash card designed for NGP games.Sony also unveiled a new feature called LiveArea, which will be included in every NGP game. It’s basically a PlayStation Home / Xbox Live type feature, allowing players to communicate with one another and share their accomplishments and activities with everyone on the PlayStation Network.NGP will also be compatible with PS Suite, which is a new Android platform the company is launching.

Sony hasn’t revealed any info on battery life and pricing, but based on some articles I've read the device would last about 4-5 hours before you need to recharge it. As for the price, the NGP would probably cost around $250-$500.

Here's a video about the NGP's full specs and a tech demo.

Look! It's the Nintendo 3DS!

2011-04-17T10:47:00.000-07:00

It's the 3DS, and it's red.

                           It's the Nintendo 3DS!! Nintendo has recently released the 3DS last month, it's the latest addition to the DS family. So, what makes the 3DS so great? The answer is in the console's name itself, it projects 3D graphics! And the best part is.......you don't need glasses to be able to view the 3D images!!!!
The 3DS is a part of the DS family, and it has a lot of similarities to the older DS consoles but, there are some changes and new features added to it.

                           The upper screen has a stereoscopic 3D display which gives a touch of reality to the games and makes gaming a lot more fun and exciting than ever before. Imagine playing Mario World, you're trying to save Princess Peach and all of a sudden...Bowser jumps out right in front of you!Yeah, that would be so cool!

                           Like the DSi, the 3DS also has a camera but,unlike the DSi, the 3DS not only has one,not two, but three. There's one inner camera which is used for creating Miis and for face recognition in some games, and two outer cameras which are used to take 3D pictures; the outer cameras are also used for AR games.
                          The Circle Pad which is right above the + Control Pad makes it much easier to move around in games than pressing some buttons (no offense + Control Pad).

                         An Adjustable Stylus which has taken the place of the former stylus(which can't extend longer.hm..maybe that's why it's been replaced). A stylus which can extend longer or become shorter is helpful(in some ways) but I still like the old ones better. Why? Because they're so cute and colorful :)

   Even with the 3D effect and new features, the 3DS still has some downsides. The 3DS is actually bulkier than the previous DS consoles so it's not really a good idea to put it in your pocket cause if you do then you might just harm either the device or yourself. But if you're wearing something a little baggy or not really that skinny(like skinny jeans) then it's probably fine to put the 3DS in your pocket. The battery life is very short, 3-5 hours depending on use. The camera has low resolution, not really any different from the DSi. Also, if you're a player that moves around alot while playing, you'll probably give yourself a headache viewing the 3D graphics...that's where the 3D Depth Slides comes along. You can use the 3D Depth Slider to control the intensity of the 3D effects. The system also recommends that you rest your eyes for 10 minutes for every 30 minutes of gameplay, a tip you should follow, just to avoid headaches and damaging of your eyes.

   You can buy the Nintendo 3DS on Nintendo's website here for $250.

                                                               Here's a video of the 3DS
