You can see the HUD on the lower-left hand of the screen in the video (hard to see at lower-res). Definitely looks in-game. This game is easily the most convincing "next-gen game" shown for the PS4.

Definition of a butterface....

It's sad but the iBot was a complete failure. Its been discontinued.

80% of K-pop sales come from Japan. Why? Because Japanese actually buy CDs, they don't pirate, and they spend a LOT of money on merchandise. Most of Asia, like the Korean market, largely pirate music.

Xinhua news, the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda mouth piece, quoted a government spokesman in Zhengzhou as saying some 100 quality inspectors at Foxconn refused to work for an hour on Friday after one was allegedly beaten by workers irate over the inspection demands.

You know, the Esprit when it last left us was 2,900lbs and made 350hp. This new Esprit is suppose to weight 3,300lbs and make upto 620hp. I'm not sure why this Lotus must be called a "bloated heavyweight".

That's kinda it, the game is most fun playing co-op. Personally, wanted to play TL2 first, but all my friends are playing BL2.

I really wish they released these games more apart. Playing BL2 now, don't have time for TL2, though I will play it sooner or later.

She says so on her blog that its fake.

"Former Japanese porn star Aoi Sora, who's widely popular in China, uploaded a picture of herself holding a sign that said the islands belong to China. "

I remember Sound Blaster cards had to be on IRQ7 or IRQ5. Originally, default was IRQ7, which was the same IRQ as the LPT1 parallel port. Which meant my Epson MX dot-matrix printer wouldn't work when I played games since you can't run two devices on the same IRQ at the same time.

Cool. The video gives proper respect to the Covox Sound Master.

The IQ180 is a 80MP image, so side-by-side, it should have an advantage. But really you're only seeing the megapixels, and the lens that can resolve those megapixels. The actual sensor itself is poorly utilizing the sensor real estate afforded to it.

If you read DXO mark's write up, the D800 gets "very close to the best medium format backs".

It may be that the vending machine operator is just eating the CC fees, or its showing up on your bill as individual payments but the vender is handling it as single transaction with the CC company. Soda and chips/snacks are insanely high-margin, almost pure profit.

Vending machines that take credit cards are usually for higher-priced, higher profit items. There may be a pack of bubble gum in that machine, but overall there are usually higher margin products such as chips in that machine as well that make it profitable overall. For soda machines, ones with CC are almost…

You'll need to kneel if its going to be the size of this Sony NFC device. Which is small and fits into the power outlet like you would a small power adapter. If you're making it a large eye-level charging machine, you're talking about considerably more cost. This Sony device looks like it could be made for $5, if…

NFC is much more simplier and easier. I'm not sure how many people want to be kneeling down on the dirty floor next to an outlet swiping your credit card. The goal is that NFC will be ubiquitous on most every smart phone in the future (its already ubiquitous in places like Japan). We should presume that future…

Clearly, as the linked article points out, the main target customer for this system is for electric vehicle (EVs) and plug-in hybrids. Quite simply there is no place to conveniently charge an EV unless you own a home with a garage. And dedicated EV charging stations are few and far between.

Its about cost of upkeep. If you have coins or cash it means that someone needs to come around to every outlet to pick it up and pay. We should assume that these outlets would be numerous and time consuming to collect from. Which also means you have to pay for that person's salary , transportation cost, maintenance…
