Mano a mano: Apple TV vs. the Xbox 360

Previously, I looked at the Apple TV in isolation, to see how it fits as a digital hub. Apple isn't the only company that wants to have its device at the center of your home entertainment though, nor the only ones who want its storefront to be the one you use to download TV and movies. So in this next installment, I shall compare the Apple TV to what I think will be its closest rival, the Microsoft Xbox 360. Yes, you read that right. I am going to compare a game console with the Apple TV, but the comparison is not as far fetched as you might think. Both have storefronts where you can download TV episodes and movies. Both will rent you content in both HD and SD, and both will let you stream your own media through them to your TV and speakers.

Buckyballs Can Store Concentrated Hydrogen

Pickens brings news that researchers from Rice University have discovered that it's possible to store hydrogen inside buckyballs. Hydrogen can be an excellent power source, but it is notoriously difficult to store. The buckyballs can contain up to 8% of their weight in hydrogen, and they are strong enough to hold it at a density that rivals the center of Jupiter. "Using a computer model, Yakobson's research team has tracked the strength of each atomic bond in a buckyball and simulated what happened to the bonds as more hydrogen atoms were packed inside. Yakobson said the model promises to be particularly useful because it is scalable, that is it can calculate exactly how much hydrogen a buckyball of any given size can hold, and it can also tell scientists how overstuffed buckyballs burst open and release their cargo.

Playing to win on HDTV

The scourge of gaming on HDTVs is gaming lag, the delay between when events occur in the game and when you see them on your TV display. That gaming lag puts you a crucial few seconds behind the action. By the time you see the enemy creeping up on you or the next note sliding down the screen in Guitar Hero, you’re already out of commission.

PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun?

jayminer writes "We are a relatively newly married young couple who enjoy spending our spare time at home. We don't own a console but have a gaming laptop with DVI output to play games on our TV. My wife is also a CS major so she's computer literate enough. She does not like strategy games, MMORG or any other role-playing game. Apart from "Find the Sausage" jokes, we need quality gaming advice, preferably games which we can play with a single laptop connected to a single large screen, with two gamepads, a console-like experience. What are your suggestions?"

CBC-TV's mini-series Trojan Horse is a very clever warning to Canadians about the North American Union agenda

Peter Mansbridge as well as other CBC anchors, cannot provide investigative coverage about an on-going apparent conspiracy among Canada's political elites to surrender Canada to the United States. CBC-TV does not have the journalistic freedom to provide the kind of coverage which they were able to provide leading up to the 1988 "Free Trade" election. CBC-TV executives, as political appointees of the Prime Minister of Canada, would risk being fired. So, instead, CBC-TV producers appear to have creatively portrayed the current real conspiracy of North American Union, using a mini-series narrative. The mini-series Trojan Horse debuted on CBC-TV at 8:00 PM EST on Sunday, 30 March 2008.
