Congratulations it's a...boy, err... girl?


The Microsoft Project Natal. It was first loosely referenced in the movie "The Island" starring Ewan Mcgregor and Scarlett Johansson, and finally will be premiered at the E3 Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center. But the release date is expected holiday season this year, nearly 3 trimesters away.

Coming to a store near you, the new "controller-free gaming and entertainment experience". With voice activation and motion detecting capabilities, the new peripheral will redefine the way we interact with computers and play games. No more need to connect with cables, recharge batteries, or dive after falling controllers before they become a pile of plastic jigsaw pieces.

The price tag has been reported to be about 60 euros, just over 80 US dollars. But it's still too soon to be sure.

One final thought. Will they have a birthday shower too?

Falling Apples... but not exactly what Newton had in mind!


Two new Apple fruits are expected in the near future.

One is the Apple iPad, a thin netbook sized version of the iPhone, which will be landing on us in two different models. Apple announced a release date of April 3rd in America for the wi-fi model, with the 3G model following towards the end of the month.

The other is still ripening on the higher branches of the Apple tree, the new iPhone 4G, rumoured on numerous sites to be released midsummer of this year.

Now there's some apples that I wouldn't mind having land in my lap!

"No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning."


A Toast.

To new beginnings, to strong bonds, to a bright future.
