Does the Wii Vitality Sensor ring a bell? No? Well maybe because:Nintendo "Didn't Know What To Do" With The Wii Vitality Sensor

Itisexciting for the people that will sell this data to advertisers as a feedback for the reception of their commercials...

You'll not get paid often if you are known to switch side after a contract is signed (as mentioned by one of the late bosses). For all intents and purposes, to side with Dany is to go from mercenary to soldier. A change that is unlikely to suit everyone. On a side note, Daario really wanted...

On a completely different note, I find it a bit odd that both the Wii U and the Xbox One have totally unassuming designs. They are anonymous boxes, just like they feared potential customers could be ashamed to have a console under their TV... a strange message to send really.

Or Microsoft not rich enough!

I thought that at first too, but then I remembered she had a scene at work post hospital in the last episode: her saving the head of the insufferable suck up that was (with a motive or not) nice to her.

As Megan noted in the previous episode, when you work in a TV show, you can still ask for vacations and have the writer work around it. That's probably what happened with Dawn and Joan. Also note that the 'agency on speed' storyline could not really work with her around considering she has the...

If I were a mercenary, I am not too sure I would be ok with seeing one of my three bosses slaughter the other two, have us jump ship and turning us into a regular army for some wandering chick from a far away land. The natural order of things would rather be the emergence of a new boss from the...

We'll see how the execution works, but the concept has potential!

I just remembered another one: there is an episode of Dream On where Brian Benben's character gets blinded and as a result visualize the other characters through movie clips (which is a step further than usual use of comic punctuation), with his secretary being a grotesque dinosaur. I failed at...

This will probably never happen unless Yasumi Matsuno somehow works with Square-Enix again.

That did not last long. Federer played a good first game, throwing a couple winning serve and volleys in there for good measure, played a decent return game after than, but Nadal hitting his backhand very aggressively, managed to fend him off. After that, it was basically all Nadal for an...

The refs did not help, but it's not like the Knicks played a great fourth quarter.

Two cabbit one cup.

We have our final: Nadal[5]broke Berdych in the opening game and rolled from that, gathering a second break in the process to bag the opening set. Berdych kept it closer in the 2nd, but Nadal pushed at 4-4, broke and served it out. vs Federer[2]played a poor match, making too much unforced...

We'll see what tune you'll sing after seeing it...

So: Berdych[6]was down and out. He played some clean service games to love, played some decent return games, but every time Djokovic [1] managed to bring a game to 30-30 or deuce, every time it became a battle, Djokovic won. Defending better, returning better, more consistent... basically...

A problem with VII could be that so much of the backgrounds were outsourced. This can pose two issues: a legal one (depending on the original deals) and a technical one (the outside studios might only have delivered low resolution renders and tracking these companies down - if they still exist -...

I feel the South Park episode about scientology should be mentioned also.

Considering the endorsement deals that come with being a star player, you would think the smart thing to do would have been for Durant to take less than max salary to maximize his chance at a championship. Probably a difficult choice to make though.

What is the expected range of orbital period for planets with liquid water? Running four years, Kepler would have caught Mercury, Venus, Earth and two occurrences of Mars (10% chance of 3 occurrences) in our solar system. Sounds pretty good to me!

For me it made little sense considering what came before it. His mistress' marriage is on the verge of explosion, which in extra-marital affair code means 'time to thread very carefully', because balance in repercussions for secret breaking is suddenly askew and new and unwanted expectations...

In respectful homage to his name:

Being badly distributed is a good start. A movie like Transformers is released on a huge number of screens and pushed by a lot of advertisement. Little to no advertisement budget goes hand in hand with very few screens. If the film is not a priority, it will also not get bundled in distribution...

If you close your eyes, you don't see what you miss and as a result don't miss it.

What's in store for the quarter finals: Djokovic[1]was not troubled by Dolgopolov. vs Berdych[6]once again proved that he is just a little better than Anderson. Court surface (clay) and past meetings (13-1 for Djokovic) put the serb as the heavy favorite on paper. In fact, beating...

So... Gulbis is destroying Nadal at the moment. 5-0 in 19 min of insane first strike tennis. Can he keep it up?

Surely, Bruce Wayne offshored the manufacturing of his gadgets to China or to another place where they don't know about Batman!

Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Lefty Call (S06E04) - great scenes follow each other with an avalanche of these absurd concepts and linguistic creativity that make the brilliance of the show. So good I kept it on my PSP to watch it from time to time.

So: let's take a quick look at Rome's draw now that the first two rounds are done. Djokovic [1] vs Dolopolovbenefited fromWawrinka's withdrawal (seeing the draw, now it makes even more sense, you don't want to play Djokovic when not 100% fit, especially if you know that you have a shot when...

Yep... Wawrinka drudged through his first round match in Rome, won, but withdrew before the 2nd round because of a thigh bothering him. Watching Murray at the moment and he is still bothered by his hip/lower back on the left side and is on the path of defeat against Granollers who is playing...

No Olenna in the 7th episodeBut a Bron-Tyrion sceneBron is not far from being my favorite character in the show.

These movies are worldwide blockbusters and super hero comics readership is the tiniest of niche outside the english speaking world. So there is that...

I have not seen the first half of tonight's Bulls vs Heat: What's up with the Bulls shooting at 27%? Cold hands all around or good Miami defense?

Not too sure what Fifty Shades of Draper was about.

I found that really silly... UNTIL he pointed out that learning to domesticate the interface could be part of the game, putting you in the position of the character having to learn magic. That interface could make for a fun competitive multiplayer game.

Charles Dance's "We could arrange to have you carried" killed me.

Wes Andersonprobably has the best track record I can think of. I can fit all his movies into two categories: great and very good. Even Darren Aronofsky or Paul Thomas Anderson can't touch that. Terrence MalickandJohnnie Tofollow closely. Two very different directors, but I know that even if...

Wawrinka started his final poorly, immediately giving good looks to a Nadal that was much sharper than in his previous matches. The spaniard still made some uncharacteristic errors, but it was more than evened out by the number of unforced errors and the bad shot selections of the swiss. Not...

Just playedThe Unfinished Swanthis afternoon, a downloadable game for PS3. It's the exploration of several pretty cool gameplay ideas wrapped in a very clean, very elegant package. The narrative ribbon that ties it all is also neat, in a light, poetic children story kind of way, even if it feels...
