Microsoft is showing off their new search engine and accidentally distributed a screenshot of them using Firefox with the story.

That's pretty freaking funny. (via Jeremy Flint)

Hunt via the Internet

November 17, 2004 at 10:55 AM

This is pretty ridiculous. First off, how is it any freaking fun? Either hunt in person or in an actual video game, I'm sure that would provide a more entertaing experience.

As for the morality of hunting, obviously this remote hunting idea is completely screwy. But I generally don't have an issue with hunting for food. My family hunts, but I don't. That's mainly a laziness and hating the cold decision rather than a moral one. I do have issues with people who hunt purely for sport. Those that don't use the animal for food and those who hunt more exotic animals.

Nintendo to give away gold GBA SP's

November 17, 2004 at 08:17 AM

Stealing a gimmick "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory," Nintendo is giving away six gold GBA SP's to the people that find a golden ticket. Pretty cool looking and bound to sell for a pretty penny on eBay.

XML Resume Library

November 16, 2004 at 10:08 AM

Pretty cool way to take your resume and create a single XML file, and then use that as a source to create different formats of your resume. You can create HTML, PDF, and plain text output formats of your XML resume.

Halo 2 goes RSS

November 16, 2004 at 09:15 AM

Freaking sweet. Okay, it's only sweet if you're a complete nerd, but fortunately for me I am.

Bungie.net now gives you the option to access your personal Halo 2 stats via RSS. Now I can be constantly updated on how badly I suck.

November 16, 2004 at 09:03 AM

Two million DS units have been pre-ordered and Nintendo is adding a third factory in order to meet demand, hopefully they fail.

Better plan? Make just two, and give them to me. (via Gizmodo)

Jack Thompson is a jackass

November 15, 2004 at 08:38 AM

This guy is pretty funny. He blames everything in this world on video games. Read his emails in this article along with Kotaku's first exchange with him, he talks in the third person and in one email uses all caps and centers everything as he rambles. Pretty hilarious.

Konfabulator does do Windows

November 11, 2004 at 10:31 AM

Pretty awesome software that I tried out on my Mac. It makes a lot more sense when using an "always-on" computer, which my isn't how I use my Powerbook. Great looking widgets that range from useful to silly. Definitely worth trying it out.

I have had an issue with it up here at work. I think some other software is screwing with it, but it is working without flaw at home.

3 new Xboxs?

November 11, 2004 at 08:52 AM

Interesting news. The dubious part is the first line:

A slide from a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) presentation seen by the INQ points towards Microsoft launching three versions of the Xbox 2, one of which is a fully functioning PC.

Ummmm... Why would information about the actual systems be included in the agreement? Would make more sense if it just said "Don't tell anyone about what you learn today." Or something like that.

Sony Vaio U-70

Damn this thing is sweet. Not overly practical but really freaking sweet. The U-70 has a 1.1GHz Pentium M processor, a 5-inch, 800 x 600 pixel LCD screen, 512MB of RAM, a 20GB hard drive, and built-in 802.11b/g WiFi. JK added a Bluetooth card and made the damn thing even more mobile and cool. Lots of good images to check out. (via Engadget)

Nintendo DS shipping early?

November 10, 2004 at 08:09 AM

I got an email this morning from Gamestop letting me know the DS would be shipping a week early. Woohoo! This means there will be plenty of time to get it up on eBay for the shopping season.

Bloglines pimps Firefox

November 09, 2004 at 09:16 AM

Coinciding with the official release of Firefox 1.0, Bloglines has a page just for information on Firefox. Great info on what it is, and even better has links to two crucial extensions for people who use both Bloglines and Firefox. I've been using the Toolkit extension for a couple of months now, it's great and makes it easy to keep tabs on when my feeds are updated. There's also a new one called LiveLines that lets you add feeds to your Bloglines subscriptions with one click using the new Firefox feeds icon.

Apple doesn't want your opinion

November 05, 2004 at 08:18 AM

Apple sure has been acting like a big arrogant a-hole of a company lately. First they ignored the defect in the 4G iPods, and now they've implemented a customer rating system on the Apple Store that doesn't allow you to actually rate any Apple products. Why?

Why can’t customers rate Apple products? Would you trust us to display less than perfect ratings on our own products? We didn’t think so!

Here's a nice screenshot of it from Gizmodo.

BMW has introduced car safety belts for dogs in Japan. I guess Japanese dogs are more important than ours, bastards.

Nintendo DS already sold out?

November 02, 2004 at 09:05 AM

IGN is reporting that GameStop has stopped pre-orders on the Nintendo DS. That's good news for me (if I actually receive the two I pre-ordered.) If the supply is that low and the demand is that high, I can screw soccer mom's willing to pay exorbitant amounts for the damn thing on eBay. (via Gizmodo)

Update: Joystiq is also mentioning it and even brings up my dastardly plan: "eBay-gouging".

Update 2: Well, that was short-lived. It appears they're taking preorders again now.
