When you think of a parallel universe, do you think of a universe, or a world, similar to ours but different in some fundamental quality. Bill Clinton, for instance, is a happily celibate priest. Or George W. Bush delights his fellow Mensa members, at parties, with his verbal games. Or, perhaps, you only have a science-fiction quality vagueness to what you think of a parallel universe: pointed ears, warp-drive through worm holes, and form fitting Lycra body suits on a thin, well-groomed crew. A parallel universe, it may surprise you to learn, is actually detectable in your own home, office, or almost anywhere indoors. All that’s required is a red laser pointer, a pin, and a piece of paper. More... | |

The highlight of the first day at E3 was getting “hands-on” time with the new Nintendo DS or Dual Screen handheld. Nintendo has decided to put in Bluetooth connectivity in order to encourage mini-LAN play in a circa-100 foot area and the double-screen does even more than we initially expected. While the DS still features the familiar touch pad and four-button diamond pad, the bottom screen is a touch pad that can be used to provide additional on-screen details or serve as the game interface. We played with games featuring the traditional Nintendo IP characters in which you could race with the traditional controllers a la Mario Karts and in which you could use a stylus on the touch pad to circle items or creatures on the touch screen and have them disappear from the top screen.

Take a look at your computer and see if you can guess which piece of hardware hasn’t changed in about 15 years. No, it’s not your power supply. Even it has gone through some major changes over the years. Give up? It’s your floppy drive! Sure we have zips and the LS-120 tried real hard to replace the floppy, but it never happened. The sad thing is, we really need this stone age piece of hardware and it’s next to impossible to live without one. Especially when it comes to installing drivers, updating a mainboard bios, or even formatting a hard drive for the first time. | |
