This makes sense on very many levels, but at the same time we’ve gotta think those long-suffering PS3 owners will be a bit “hacked off” by Sony’s announcement of a motion-tracking sword game headed for… the PS2. The PS2’s market saturation (every man, woman and child on earth has at least two), and the EyeToy’s general success (10.5 million units sold) make the combo the perfect trojan horse for fighting the good fight against Wii world domination. Sony’s using new (sort of) color tracking technology to beef up the EyeToy’s motion tracking that will let it detect and track brightly colored objects, instead of just motion, for two new EyeToy: Play games due for the holidays this year. The one we’ve really got our eye on is the kiddie-oriented Hero which is a first person perspective sword fighting game that comes complete with a fluorescent toy sword for battling kinda-almost-evil antagonists. Of course, none of this would be disappointing in the slightest if Sony would just work PS2 backwards compatibility into its fully capable PS3, and hey, maybe they’ll surprise us. Nudge, comma, nudge. Wink. Wink.

If there was any doubt that the Nikon D90 D-SLR was coming your way, and a Ideal Buy stock record wasn’t enough after a Circuit City inventory screen didn’t sway you, then perhaps a snapshot of the product UPC will convince you? This code showed up on UPC database last night and, well, let’s just state that it’s time to begin saving your pennies for this $1300 wonder.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, a UPC for the Canon EOS-9D also popped up on the site. UPC haters can (and should) move along, but the link is here. [Thanks, Scott F]

A more perfect union~!

How much do you trust the Department of Homeland Security? Like, a lot, or a lot lot? Doesn’t matter, really—it now has the right to riffle through your laptop, iPod and other electronic (and non-electronic) devices and documents when you cross a border coming into the U.S.

To Liberty!

Yes, the DHS now has the right to riffle through your junk at the border, all in the name of security, of course. What’s even more troubling—and it’s pretty damn troubling to begin with—is that the DHS can keep your stuff for as long as it wants (a “reasonable period of time,” reads the policy).

Oh, and you don’t even have to be suspected of any wrongdoing in order to have your stuff confiscated.

Several lawmakers are against the new policy, including Sen. Russell Feingold, who called the policy “truly alarming.” Indeed it is, Russ.

What exactly this means for your big collection of V0 MP3s and x264-encoded movies, who knows. Maybe you’ll luck out and they’ll only slap a gigantic fine on you. Wouldn’t surprise me.
