I bet you that playing multiplayer Tetris on this bigger DSi XL is a heck of a lot more comfortable than the regular DS/DSi because you won’t have to flex your hand muscles to get a hold of the device while pushing all sorts of buttons. I hope I’m right! This looks nice.

Watch as the cat tries to follow the cat in the video off of the monitor. So funny!
Storm 2 gets previewed and poked
August 23, 2009 @ 1:52 am
CrackBerry posted this video preview of the Storm 2 (BlackBerry 9550 on Verizon or the 9520 on AT&T) and it looks like a godsend compared to the first Storm. RIM has done away with the click-screen which was absolutely terrible and replaced it with a touchscreen more like an iPhone’s.
I haven’t heard any release dates for AT&T yet, but if the timing is right, maybe I’ll upgrade to this when it comes out on AT&T.
Introducing the iMac shuffle
March 17, 2009 @ 12:35 am
Taking cues from the incredible success of the most recent iPod shuffle, Apple announced today the introduction of their newest line of Mac computer, the iMac shuffle. Encased in the same familiar aluminum body as the iMac, the iMac shuffle does away with the screen and all ports to leave you with the simplest computer ever. And just like the iPod shuffle, the iMac shuffle comes with Apple’s VoiceOver technology, allowing you to hear every command that the computer is doing so you’ll never have to use a mouse or keyboard ever again.
In a sense, this is the ultimate computer. Apple really has created a unique all-in-one experience with the latest iMac and I can’t wait to get my hands on it to test it out. I hear the Power button on this thing is amazing!
Layers captures your display as a multi-layered Photoshop file
March 14, 2009 @ 9:00 am
I’m playing around with the most impressive screen capture app ever. It’s called Layers and what it does that I’ve never seen any other screen capture app do is capture your screen as a multi-layered Photoshop file. Every single part of your workspace — meaning, just about anything that is visible on your monitor — is able to be captured in its own layer.
Layers even comes with a handy Inspector window that acts like the default OS Grab application on steroids. With the Inspector you can capture individual windows or hide individual icons, windows, or apps from a screen capture before you even do it (ultimately saving you time in Photoshop from hiding the layer). You can also edit how you want it saved either with or without framing, opacity, and shadow. The Inspector window even allows you to single out your displays if you have multiple displays set up (capture only what’s showing on a projector, for instance).
As you can imagine, a screen grab utility like this is handy when you need to capture something quickly and you don’t have the time to rearrange all of your windows to accommodate the space. With Layers, you simply capture it and literally rearrange your workspace as you see fit, bringing layers up front or pushing them back or hiding them altogether, to create the image you want others to see (and not necessarily showing what’s actually there).
Here’s an example of how powerful this utility is. The first capture below is a straight on screen capture with nothing edited.
As you can see, Transmission is on top. But if I wanted to hide my torrent window from you, all I need to do is hide the Photoshop layer which results in the following image.
And if I wanted to rearrange my workspace to better show another app in the background, say, iTunes, I just need to move my layers around and show you the following image. Mind you, all of these screenshots are made from the same original capture.
This to me is the ultimate screen grab application. I’m pretty much never going to use the default OS Grab app ever again.
