- Checking-in at SXSW March 12, 2010
  South by Southwest Interactive gets underway today in Austin, Texas, and a broad swath of the technology community will be headed there to check out the bands, barbecue, and, oh yeah, the startups. Ever since Twitter had its breakout moment at the 2007 festival, SXSW has been considered a king-maker of sorts. Yet no startup has [...]

- Apple iPad pre-order comes with bugs March 12, 2010
  Judging bytrending topics on Twitter, I was not alone in reserving an iPad today as pre-orders began for the April 3 launch. The experience was un-Apple-like in the bugs I encountered. Ordering did not work at all on the Apple site in Google’s Chrome browser, but was possible with the odd error page in Internet Explorer. In Chrome, it [...]

- How Google directed its search ads firehose at mobile March 11, 2010
  As the FTC lays the groundwork for a possible challenge to Google’s purchase of AdMob, it is instructive to look at something else Google has already done to gain a strong foothold in the mobile ad business. Any advertiser that bids through the AdWords system gives Google complete authority over which devices its messages are seen [...]

- Group buying gains steam March 11, 2010
  In another validation of the suddenly hot collective buying trend, LivingSocial has landed $25m in Series B funding from a group of investors including US Venture Partners and Steve Case’s Revolution, LLC. But even with new money backing several similar companies, it is still unclear if the latest thing in e-commerce will last for long. LivingSocial [...]

- PS3 motion controller fails to Move March 10, 2010
  Sony has every right to feel sore that Nintendo and Microsoft have stolen the limelight from it in adding motion-sensing to games. Sony had the EyeToy camera for sensing motion and putting players inside games on the PlayStation 2, long before Microsoft’s forthcoming Project Natal . Its six-axis controller has always had more motion capabilities than the [...]

21 Aug 2009: Avatar 3D Day — calendar it!

Friday, July 24th, 2009

An update from ComCon 2009, San Diego says that on 21 August there will be a free screening of 15-minutes of James Cameron’s latest film, Avatar. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HOW FAR THEY’VE MOVED CGI forward after Steve Jobs led the way with it in animation techniques at Pixar Studios and Dreamworks re-imagined it for their productions (and the likes of Beowulf). The full version of Avatar will be in the movie theaters on 18 December.

Here are some YouTube tasters of Avatar for those not aware of it:

Also, in case readers aren’t into comic books, ComCon = comics convention.
