Re: Waiting for that 3D experience at home…

Someone on the eBuyer comments explained the shutter technology quite nicely;

The way the glasses work is they darken the left eyes lens when the right eye scene is on screen and vice versa, so the left eye never see's the scene from a right eye's point of view and so on.

You cant use any monitor with the glasses either because the screen needs to refresh twice as fast to remain flicker free. hence the high rate of 120Hz (you left eye is only seeing 60hz and so is your right) any less will cause flickering and headaches :)

They're both just as hard to hack these days, now that that Arcade are usually sold with a Philips drive (which isn't yet hackable).

Sorry somehow I unfollowed you. Happened with Ruk too. Not good... Seems to have happened to everyone who has changed their Twitter name.

I'm sure you're not - but I actually want one! lol

It's a shame they aren't cheaper. I'd just buy one and stick a sticker-skin over the ugly matted finish. I like the design and new size (it's now the size of a normal console?! :O) but the matt finish is a bit meh.

Re: Microsoft increase price of Arcade 360 in UK

calvinrobinson — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:07:06 -0000

It's too late. You can't find Xbox360 Arcade Consoles without bundle packages any more. Before the weekend you could grab one for £89.99 at Play.com or Game. Now they're £134.99 with some crappy game.

So now's the time to stock up on pads and buy that spare xbox360.

All jokes aside this is disgusting. Why is the UK always raped when it comes to currency exchanges between the US or Europe. Come off it...

I think Codemasters did this in response to Asim's complaints about the Halo helmet "I wan't a helmet I can actually wear, man!" or something like that :P

Wow this is disgusting, so blatant too! I thought the old GOW exploit was bad *cough*...

If you guys reported this guy, it would be interesting to check his gamertag in a few weeks and see if he's still active.

Re: Palm Pre not synching with iTunes

calvinrobinson — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:33:26 -0000

Totally understand what you're saying, and I've said it myself many times.

Still doesn't change the fact Palm shouldn't launch a product as "iTunes Friendly" without consulting Apple. It's bonkers!

Re: Palm Pre not synching with iTunes

calvinrobinson — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 09:44:49 -0000

Palm should have struck a proper deal with iTunes.

"ActiveX Control Could Allow Remote Code Execution" What's new there then? Seriously, get Firefox.

Re: MJs Death is a Conspiracy

calvinrobinson — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 04:38:10 -0000

While I didn't write the above article, I'm open minded enough to believe it is possible that MJ is not dead.

There is nothing cold-hearted about that. I had a lot of respect for MJ. Dangerous was my first album, I grew up listening to his music. If he is dead, my condolences go out to his family.

But my friend did indeed warn me of this - before it happened. The theory in his article is either a spooky coincidence, or has some merit to it. There's nothing 'made up' about it. GW spoke to me week ago, telling me that MJ's concert was first going to be delayed, then he'd fake his death and retreat to some hide away. A few weeks later the concert is postponed, and now MJ has been reported 'dead'. Although all the reports I was watching (BBC, CNN etc.) were adamant for the longest time, that they couldn't actually confirm TMZ's sources.

It's worth thinking about at least. If you're as much a fan of MJ as you seem, isn't it better to hope he's living, enjoying the rest of his life without the prying eye of the media? Or are you angry for purely selfish reasons? Because he will no longer be sharing his life with you.

Think about it with an open mind. No need for insults.

Re: iPhone OS 3.0 Beta: MMS & Tethering

No because the iPhone isn't available for T-Mobile in the UK. You'll have to edit your own settings in the menus if you want to try and get that to work. Let us know if you have any luck.
