Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword announced along with vastly improved Wii interaction
Posted on June 15, 2010 | No Comments
Here we go: another E3, another Zelda. The latest in the Zelda canon is Skyward Sword, a MotionPlus compatible game that mimics the experience of holding a sword and a shield. Link's on-screen actions mimic your actions completely including the motion of a shield in front of you.
Basically this is a more precise version of the previous Zelda Wii interface. With so many people trying so many motion controls, however, I wonder how exciting this will be in context.

OLEDs are the future: Canon buries development of SEDs
Posted on May 26, 2010 | No CommentsRemember SEDs? Those surface-conduction electron-emitter displays were around for quite a while, competing with FEDs (field emission displays) until Sony decided to pull the plug on the latter back in March last year. That gave one company, Canon, enough of a push to continue to believe in SED. Canon even filed new patents on SED technology in the US in May 2009. But that's over now (we kind of anticipated this as early as December 2008).

Canon’s imageFORMULA P-150M portably scans documents into your Mac, no lie
Posted on May 19, 2010 | No CommentsDoes your Mac need a new scanner? (I think I've had the same scanner for like 10 years. The Mac driver is still for PPC processors, that's how old it is.) I ask because I needed a fun way to segue into a brief discussion of the Canon imageFORMULA P-150M, which, as you may have surmised, is a scanner that works with your Mac.

.canon: Canon wants to establish its own top-level domain
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No Comments
Megalomania or genius marketing move? Canon seriously takes aim at becoming the world's first company with its own generic top-level domain (gTLD), namely ".canon". The new domain would join the likes of .com, .edu, .gov, .org, etc. (Wikipedia has the full list). The Japanese electronics giant announced [press release in English] its plan to acquire the rights for the domain from ICANN today.

After trying to find a way to remotely control their DSLRs, the clever hackers at HDRLabs couldn't really find anything that would do what they wanted. So what did they do? Built a control of their own, using a Nintendo DS. HDRLabs went on to make the device available, for free. All you have to do is build one yourself.

Posted on January 5, 2010 | No CommentsCES is here, even though most of your friendly neighborhood CrunchGear writers are still in their respective home states.
