Este jueves a las 13h y en el ya famoso edificio de Gran Vía (Madrid), Telefónica acabará con las especulaciones y hará pública su oferta comercial del iPhone en España. Así se deduce de la escuetísima nota de prensa del operador. De hecho, la nota es todo lo que ves arriba...

Japan Presents Foreign Dignataries With…A DS Lite []

Pablo Pino — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:30:00 +0000

The Group of Eight - ie the cool, popular kids of the developed world - just had a meet-up in Kyoto, Japan. Seemed to go swimmingly enough. To mark the occasion, the hosts presented all visiting politicians with some gifts unique to Japan, like some manga-style caricatures and that very snazzy-looking DS Lite console. They're double-lacquered to give the consoles a glossy finish, and each was topped off with a print depicting a pagoda and some cherry blossoms. Needless to say, these are probably now the most valuable/expensive DS Lites in the world, and needless to say, you will never own one. Unless you get lucky and spy Condy or Gordon Brown hocking theirs on Craigslist for a quick quid.

iDOLMASTER Tickets Are Crazy Expensive [Only In Japan]

Pablo Pino — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 10:00:00 +0000

Fans of Namco's Xbox 360-exclusive, J-pop idol sim THE iDOLM@STER are rich, it seems. Tickets for the iDOLM@STER event "THE iDOLM@STER 3rd Anniversary Live later this month have been going bananas. Auction prices have hit as high as ¥138,000 or US$1,292 (starting at ¥6,500 or $61) and fetching about $470 on average. The event will have the full iDOLM@STER voice cast in attendance, so perhaps these prices are understandable.

No, no they are not.

Pioneer alcanza los 400GB en un disco Blu-ray

Filed under: Almacenamiento

Pioneer ha logrado alcanzar los 400GB de almacenamiento empleando 16 capas en un disco Blu-ray, lo que equivale a 25GB por capa (al igual que los discos de doble capa y 50GB). Lo mejor del asunto es que la tecnología empleada por Pioneer se espera que sea compatible con los lectores Blu-ray existentes en el mercado, ya que las especificaciones y lentes requeridas son idénticas.

Por el momento, el prototipo desarrollado únicamente puede ser utilizado como lector, aunque el departamento de I+D está echando el resto para conseguir que pueda escribirse también.

Actualización: Se acaba de publicar la nota de prensa y ahora no está tan claro que sean compatibles con los equipos existentes. La nota dice que aunque "es posible mantener la compatibilidad con los nuevos equipos de 16 capas" el resto requeriría una modificación en el mecanismo de lectura óptica para leer los datos. Sabremos más el próximo 13 de julio, fecha en la que Pioneer espera dar más detalles.

2.40 Fix Coming “Midweek” [2.40]

Pablo Pino — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:30:00 +0000

Sony's big 2.40 update for the PS3 has been down since the middle of last week, following some issues a few users had while trying to install the firmware. When, then, can we expect a fix? Around the same time this week, if Sony's customer support are to be believed. They say that firmware 2.41 - which will fix the busted 2.40 - will be out "midweek". Unless they're making that up, an official announcement from Sony on the matter should turn up later today.

Adult Anime Drawings Forged in Halo 3 [Maximum Risky]

Pablo Pino — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 09:00:00 +0000

We've previously seen how Halo 3's Forge can be used as a canvas by the artistically included. And while the above image is certainly not the first "erotic" images made with Forge level editor by a damn sight. (Hey, give the plebs the ability to create, and you betcha, they'll whip up naughty bits!) But these are the first MAXIMUM RISKY Japanese anime-style ones we've seen — then again, we haven't exactly been looking. They, of course, were made by lining up weapons.

Hit the jump for the full image and another one. NSFW.

Ex-director técnico de Segway será el máximo responsable del diseño en Apple

Filed under: Desktops, Laptops

Sí, también nos hemos quedado de piedra al leer la noticia: el hasta ahora director técnico en Segway -Doug Field- será el máximo responsable de diseño de productos en Apple. En realidad, lo que convierte esta noticia en apasionante es la relación previa entre Jobs y Field.

Para refrescarte la memoria, hace ya mucho tiempo, cuando se diseñó el primer Segway, alguien se acercó a Cupertino para conocer la opinión de Steve Jobs quien espetó: "Pienso que es una porquería. Su diseño no es innovador, no es elegante y mucho menos antropomórfico". Donde dije digo...

New Prince Of Persia Screens [Prince Of Persia]

Pablo Pino — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 08:30:00 +0000

Three new screens for the upcoming Prince of Persia reboot. Enjoy. We're still digging the tasteful use of cel-shading, still looking forward to seeing how it all pans out, still wondering how Yorda grew up so fast, and why she still thinks it's a good idea to go adventuring without a pair of shoes.
