Oscar Winners - The awards have been given out, the jokes made and the montages aired. Overall a boring show with no surprises. Well not quite true, I am still dumfounded by the attention that No Country for Old Men is getting. It just wasn't that good to me and playing an unemotional killer isn't Oscar worthy to me. But then considering the Oscars gives out awards based on what movies could have fit right at home in the '50s and '60s I can't say I am not surprised. Jon Stewart was good but barely was on screen for 20 minutes of the 3 hours plus program which makes me wonder why bother with a host at all. The low ratings reflect the safe choices the Oscar continue to choose and this years winner will join the previous in the march to becoming trivia answers. Apple //c Unboxing - Click the link to see the unboxing of an Apple computer built in 1988 but only opened for the first time 20 years later after the dropping $3k in an ebay auction.
Final Fantasy XIII Crystal Engine - If you like the Final Fantasy series, you might find this article about the developer engine that is being developed by Square to help in the building of the game and future games called the Crystal Engine. This "engine" is basically a set of tools and scripts that allow developers to more quickly and cheaply build games so that the same set of instructions do not have to be built from scratch for each game. For example if you know that its a shoot em up, you don't have to keep reprogramming the controls, aiming, movement etc, the engine would already have that.
