It’s simple enough to drool over the press shots of Nikon’s luscious D700. Seeing someone unbox this full-frame beast on video is another experience entirely (bordering on spiritual, really). Unfortunately, the vid waiting after the break is just two minutes long and doesn’t show any clicks being depressed, but those looking to get a better idea of the size and build have plenty of reason to click through.

[Thanks, Jon]

I like John Carmack. He’s a very smart guy, primarily as a game designer but also in his sense of the industry. Doom, Quake, and Doom 3 all revolutionized the industry, and while id has been relatively quiet of late (Rage excepting), I think he’s got a handle on what might move gaming forward again. […]

I like John Carmack. He’s a very smart guy, primarily as a game designer but also in his sense of the industry. Doom, Quake, and Doom 3 all revolutionized the industry, and while id has been relatively quiet of late (Rage excepting), I think he’s got a handle on what might move gaming forward again. Of course, like everything else these days, it’s JesusPhone-related.

Carmack feels that the iPhone has big untapped potential due to its superior hardware, responsive controls, and a ridiculous amount of space available: 10MB or more (the previous de facto limit was around 300KB). Given unlimited time and money, he feels he could make an astounding iPhone MMORPG (not what I would do with unlimited time and money but hey), but in the real world he’s aiming for “something good, and something swift.” Which I’m sure they can deliver on. I look foward to it — as long as it’s not ASCII Doom.

Spoilers after the link below! Find out why the new Transformers movie will suuuuck.

An interview with the writers of the hotly-anticipated sequel proved quite revealing.
What is the plotline? Intergalactic warfare? A new race of savage Transformers marauding the Earth?

“It’s about being away from home. It’s a few years later and Sam is going to finally go to college and he’s going to face being away from home just as the Autobots are having to deal with being away from Cybertron.”

I’m sorry, is this the Transformers movie or an episode of Felicity?
And how about this:

“We couldn’t quite figure out how to justify a robot that would pretend to be a dinosaur.”

Okay, you already have speaking robots battling it out over an ancient magical cube. Is it that hard to find some way to bring in the Dinobots, even if it stretches suspense of disbelief to the absolute limit?

Lastly, regarding a possible return of Megatron:

“That would be silly.”

You’re right, guys. Who wants the best villain of all (save Unicron) to make a comeback anyway?

Is the word “Me” responsible for the problems with MobileMe? Labnol points out that that three major “me” initiatives - Windows Me, .me, and MobileMe all angered folks immediately and nearly failed - or did fail.

Is the word “Me” responsible for the problems with MobileMe? Labnol points out that that three major “me” initiatives - Windows Me, .me, and MobileMe all angered folks immediately and nearly failed - or did fail.

Think about Windows Me - flop - and the .me domain name. Both of these projects essentially withered on the vine and caused much damage to their respective creators. Is MobileMe next?

You rarely see buggy products from the iPhone inventors but Mobile Me (formerly .mac) is definitely one. Apple customers have lost thousands of important emails in the past few days while some did not have access to email for over a week thanks to this new cloud computing platform called Mobile Me.
