Remember the classic RTS known as Command & Conquer? Well, an enterprising coder, Aditya Ravi Shankar, actually recreated the strategy game using nothing but HTML5, where it runs on 69k of Javascript. Why did he set out on such an adventure? For starters, Shankar’s attempt was a self-mandated undertaking in order to improve his coding skills, where he gave himself a one month window to rebuild the game in the browser, and had to comb through the original game’s files in order to obtain all the right sprites, sounds and specs. According to Shankar, “In hindsight, I might have wanted to take smaller steps and make a tower defense game instead of jumping directly into an RTS.

DVDs might be in their twilight years at the moment with Blu-ray being in the ascension, but that doesn’t mean they are less popular. For those who want to make this their ultimate portable DVD player purchase, Toshiba has just the thing with this sleek looking device which has a handle right above the 12″ LED backlight LCD display at 1,366 x 768 resolution (which is a pity since it isn’t able to play DivX HD or H.264 high definition videos), and plays nice with MP3/WMA/CD/DVD formats. You get a 4 hour battery life with this, which ought to be sufficient for shorter road trips and flights, but those on frequent long haul journeys might want to settle for an iPod instead. To keep you entertained even without a DVD lying around, there is always the integrated digital TV tuner, although that is subject to channel availability.
