Nintendo and American Heart Association to make announcement on May 17
Nintendo and the American Heart Association will co-host a press event in New York City this Monday, May 17. The brief press release for the event does not offer any indication as to what the announcement will be, but Nintendo's upcoming Vitality Sensor, designed to measure a player's pulse, seems the likely focus of the event -- and the sort of thing the American Heart Association would be into co-promoting. Additionally, only the Wii is ...

iPad sales big on Ebay Internationally
Sure, there was a delay with iPad International Sales, but if you are here in the United States, see it as a business opportunity.
That’s right, if you have an iPad, you can probably get more than what you paid for it from another country. Isn’t this amazing how a scarce product can create such a demand.
Remember the PS2? The Xbox 360? The Wii? Tickle Me Elmo? Let’s just get that iPad to other countries already. ...

Wii Controller Demo gets active, Android and Wiimote handle Donkey Kong on video
We knew the Wii Controller Demo app (now known as "Wii Controller IME") was close to being able to interact with Android in a meaningful way, but we certainly didn't expect to see Average Joes playing Donkey Kong on their Nexus One devices this soon. Not that we're kvetching or anything -- and in fact, we'd argue that this landed at a perfect time for you hard-workin' Android owners to give this all a spin over the weekend. ...

Check out the ‘vue’ at this Florida Ritz-Carlton resort
With airport security so unpredictable these days, it's just not safe to travel with your consoles anymore. So why travel at all? It's a question that The Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Fla. has tried to answer with the introduction of its new "vue."
That's right -- it would seem that the "dazzling" views of the Gulf of Mexico just aren't engaging enough for today's vacationer, so the hotel has constructed a "virtual user experience." ...

Japanese hardware sales, April 12 – April 18: Dry spell edition
Poor, poor April. After a quarter of pretty enormous video game releases, we've seen a noticeable slowdown over the past 25 days. Normally, we'd relish the opportunity to get caught up on the surplus the past few months have brought us, but ... well, we miss the action! The excitement! The variety! The occasional disappointment!
In an attempt to recapture these raw emotions, we've been forced to seek out other hobbies with even more frequent additions. Like, for instance, comic books. There's new ...

Apple posts $3.07b profit in Q2 2010
Do you ever wonder how much money Apple really makes? What, with their large lineup of ridiculously popular products it must be a ton, right? Yup, you’re exactly right. Apple has just posted their Q2 2010 financial results that they they earned a $3.07b profit with revenues of $13.5b. Of that, Mac sales were up 33% while iPhone sales were up 131% with iPod sales decreasming 1% (probably because people are buying so many iPhones).
These numbers are sure ...

The User’s Manifesto: in defense of hacking, modding, and jailbreaking
There’s a trend that’s been disturbing me lately. When the topic of modding or jailbreaking comes up — say, in the wake of the iPad announcement , or Sony’s restrictive PS3 update — there is an outcry. Who am I to tell Apple what’s best for their devices? How can I in good conscience urge others to void their warranties or break license agreements? And why should anyone care when only a small proportion of people hack or jailbreak their devices? These questions are natural, because a ...

The Best of Big Download: March 29 – April 4
We're about to enter a very slow period of the year, not typically known for seeing many major PC game releases. However, we should be keeping busy with lots of big announcements in the next few months leading up to E3 in June (at least, you know, we hope). In the meantime, let's take a look back at the highlights from this Passover-April Fool's-Easter week:

Wii Football Patent Becomes Reality
When you first saw the Wii Football accessory patent, did you actually think that it might become a reality? While it doesn’t seem to be on sale just yet, it looks like it’s only a matter of time as CTA Digital has already listed the item online, albeit without a price or release date. Of course, it’s entirely normal to wonder why anybody would want to buy such an ...
