Sony has Screwed the old PSP users

Sony has announced that PSP will get Skype at the next firmware update. Yeah... but it will only be available for the new PSP and the old Fat PSP will not be able to use this service. That sucks. I have the old one and have been very happy with it and know that I heard about this makes me want to sell it and get the new one. I guess this is the push towards the newer model that is the direction Sony will be heading. Before all the new stuff of the PSP vs. the Old PSP were not a big deal but with Skype can through me over the edge.

here are the highlights of the newer PSP
1. will have skype
2. smaller and lighter(I played with this and it feels a little too light)
3. quicker load time
4. can project to a TV

I guess I am heading towards ebay:

A Slick Black Playstation Portable for sale sightly used... lightly scratched on the back and no scratches on the screen.....Any takers?

CES is Back

2008 CES started yesterday with Bill(Gate) give I guess his last CES Opening speech. He talked about how Microsoft is going to be moving more to your living room with all kinds of windows media stuff. It seems like this has been the theme of past CES. And every year it fails, but who knows maybe this one will take. Moving to your living room is a big jump for any computer company or any hardware. The big problem there are plenty of stuff that will enhance you couch potato life style but there is not one standard. If you like one system then that does not have all the features of others. I really believe that people the non techies will not care. What people want is a TV in the living room and with cable and be able to watch movies with good sound. I don't know how Bill and the other are planning to improve in area but we watch and see. So who every takes over for Bill Keynote speech next year will be the one to tell us about how Microsoft is really make advancement on invading the living room.

Bill Gate had a video of his leaving the company. If I ever find it I will post it but for now this is how it went. It had a lot of big names.

In a video shown Sunday night depicting what his last day at Microsoft might be like, Gates, 52, hammed it up as never before.

"This will be the first time since I was 17 that I won't have my full-time Microsoft job," he said, introducing the video.

He then tried his hand at several post-Microsoft vocations in a series of self-deprecating sketches:

He worked out with actor Matthew McConaughey, pale arms bench-pressing 45 pounds. (Gates: "Am I ready to take my shirt off?" McConaughey: "Uh, not yet.")

He played a guitar riff and then asked U2's Bono, "Wasn't that the craziest riff you ever heard?!" (Bono: "I can't just replace Edge because you got a high score on 'Guitar Hero,' Bill.")

He rapped in a recording studio with Jay-Z. (Gates: "Big pimpin' I'm Bill G! Big pimpin' yeah you know me.")

He called up Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, asking if she'd considered a running mate. (Clinton: "I'm not sure politics is really for you.") Then he called Barack Obama. (Gates: "Hey, it's Bill." Obama: "Bill Shatner? Of 'Star Trek'?" Gates: "No." Obama, sounding suspicious: "Bill Clinton?")

So very funny but have not found it....Yet

New Laptops

CES is a way for companies to show case their new produces. So Dell and Lenovo coming out strong with their new product lines.

Dell has made the 15.4-inch Inspiron Notebook light, more colorful and connected. the Inspiron is slimmer and up to 25% smaller the last year models. Also the have made more color available. I am happy about the lighter of the computer. It will coming in the original eight color options like Midnight Blue and Ruby Red but they will have pattern like Blossom, Chill, Commotion and Street

I have an old Compaq from 3 years ago. So I am in the market for a new Laptop.

Lenovo is free from IBM so they are out get more customer with new Ideapad. These are light small then the thinkpad.

500 Gb notebook hard drive

This is crazy. but not surprising that laptops with a huge hard drives. Hitachi is one that have shown first but with CES coming up I am sure the other hard drive companies will are not too far behind. I know every is talking about this large hard drive but I truly believe that the future of hard drive will be Flash Drives. It still needs to catch with the memory size but it will. I think in the next year we will see a notebook with out a hard drive but with a Flash drive memory. I think the largest flash momery you can buy is 32 Gb.(still to small for a laptop)

LG and Netflix Team up

Last week Apple made a deal to have a rentals on their i-Tunes. And Amazon teamed with Tivo to have rental movies brought to your box. This made sense for apple to do this. So we could expect other companies to get their own rental services out there. Netflix and LG are creating a set top box that will allow you to stream movies to you TV. This move seem very late. I remember a time(2years ago) when Tivo and Neflix were teaming up to create this service, but it have never happened. I guess this would work if the box are not too expensive also my big question are they going to have any new movies or is going to be that crappy stuff on their online streaming services. Only time will tell.
