Love for zombies, MMO style

Finally, a game we can get in to where we get to be the zombie.  And it’s an MMO!

Exanimus is an online massively multiplayer game created in a world where the dead live and roam the earth eating the flesh of the living. While most of the world is dead, there are small pockets of survivors that exist in barricaded cities across the globe. Players of Exanimus will have the option of playing as a living survivor or as one of the dead roaming the earth. Exanimus will allow players to experience a MMO based in a horror genre by creating a dark and visually “intense” environment.
Exanimus is expected to be rated “Mature” and not intended for anyone under the age of 18.

A 19 inch laptop sighting

(via Engadget)

Here’s my first 19 inch laptop sighting.  Has anyone got any other links to different ones?

CALGARY, Alberta–(BUSINESS WIRE)–March 9, 2006–VoodooPC, the world’s leading architect of highly personalized, one-of-a-kind high performance PCs, today announced it has expanded its award-winning notebook line with the introduction of the Voodoo ENVY Heavyweight u:909 Notebook, the world’s largest and fastest mobile gamebook. Measuring 17.5″ x 12.5″ x 1.75″ and weighing in at 16 pounds, the Voodoo ENVY Heavyweight u:909 Notebook is powered by the AMD Turion 64 processor and is THE ideal alternative for anyone looking to replace their desktop without sacrificing performance.

And if you are wondering, it costs around $5000, comes with a dual-layer DVD burner, runs at 1680×1050, and offers dual nVidia or dual ATI video cards.   I’m guessing lap shield and nuclear power plant are extra cost items.

Make mine with frikkin’ laser beams

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Project Agency) has taken another page from science fiction writer William Gibson’s book by creating a neural implant to enable engineers to remotely manipulate a shark’s brain signals. This would eventually allow them to control the animal’s movements and possibly decode their perceptions.

Remote controlled sharks? Awesome. You know Dr. Evil would want some.

Hella nice LCD TV

Some day, I’ll be able to get one of these.

ultimateTV.jpgTaiwanese Chi Mei Optoelectronics is a name you may not know, despite the company being the third largest LCD TV panel supplier in the world. At CEBIT in Hannover in mid-March, the company will display the world’s first 56-inch LCD TV panel. Perhaps more startling than the size of the mega-telly is the definition which is known as Quad Full High Definition (QFHD) with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and an astonishing 8.29 million pixels.
