Skulls of The Shogun - Multiplataforma (en Microsoft)
Este juego no se ve mal, y salvo la xbox, las otras dos plataformas me llaman la atención.

Gabe no bromeaba - Steam se expande
I think that Windows 8 is kind of a catastrophe for everybody in the PC space. I think that we’re going to lose some of the top-tier PC . They’ll exit the market. I think margins are going to be destroyed for a bunch of people. If that’s true, it’s going to be a good idea to have alternatives to hedge against that eventuality. But when you start thinking about a platform, you have to address it. You have to address mobile. You have to look at what’s going to happen post-tablet. If you look at the mouse and keyboard, it was stable for about 25 years. I think touch will be stable for about 10 years. I think post-touch, and we’ll be stable for a really long time — for another 25 years. I think touch will be this intermediate….Además de lanzar Steam en Linux en un futuro cercano (hay mucha gente que sólo usa Windows para jugar, pues wine y otras opciones a veces no alcanzan) y optimizar su añejo source engine para que corra más rápido en ubuntu (¿se acuerdan cuando Carmack y su id SOftware eran los únicos?).
That the Linux version runs faster than the Windows version (270.6) seems a little counter-intuitive, given the greater amount of time we have spent on the Windows version. However, it does speak to the underlying efficiency of the kernel and OpenGL. Interestingly, in the process of working with hardware vendors we also sped up the OpenGL implementation on Windows. Left 4 Dead 2 is now running at 303.4 FPS with that configuration.
Launch Set of "Software" Titles Coming Sept 5
Aug 8, 2012 -- Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the first set of Software titles are heading to Steam, marking a major expansion to the platform most commonly known as a leading destination for PC and Mac games.
The Software titles coming to Steam range from creativity to productivity. Many of the launch titles will take advantage of popular Steamworks features, such as easy installation, automatic updating, and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you.
More Software titles will be added in an ongoing fashion following the September 5th launch, and developers will be welcome to submit Software titles via Steam Greenlight.
"The 40 million gamers frequenting Steam are interested in more than playing games," said Mark Richardson at Valve. "They have told us they would like to have more of their software on Steam, so this expansion is in response to those customer requests."

Kindle Fire... Amazon la está rompiendo y otros no lo notan
Sus libros de kindle están en todos los dispositivos, ahora están por convertirse en una editorial, regalando apps diario dieron a conocer su tienda para Android y están en una posición increíble para explotar a los usuarios que ya están hartos de crackear, descargar y que saben que si hay consecuencias, en serio no se porque Amazon no está acaparando la discusión.

Kindle Fire - touch - keyboard
The kindle lineup grew and we know have some remarkable items that are really interesting.
The kindle fire runs android (as we knew it would) and takes advantage of the store amazon had been prepping up to this point, and it was announced a few days before this launch that this is now a global store.
If we are to stay realistic , the Kindle fire is no iPad killer, it is a threat to the nook color and a nicely priced tablet that will be an interesting proposition.
The iPad was the cheapest option for a tablet with that size (people don't realize that sometimes) and the Kindle fire is in a different league, some like the 7 inchers better and with the price of the fire now someone with a real grasp of the business can finally present an option to the ipad, so let us hope that Google and amazon can make this really appealing.
I just want to know what happened to the DX Will we see it ever again? and I believe the only reason the kindle keyboard still exist is to deplete their stock without discounts and to avoid price protection complaints for the jerks (like me) that had just bought one.
Dear Customers,
There are two types of companies: those that work hard to charge customers more, and those that work hard to charge customers less. Both approaches can work. We are firmly in the second camp.
These are high-end products – the best Kindles we’ve ever made. Kindle and Kindle Touch have the most-advanced E Ink display technology available, and the 3G Kindle Touch adds free 3G wireless – no monthly fees and no annual contracts. Kindle Fire brings everything we’ve been working on at Amazon for 15 years together into a single, fully-integrated experience for customers – instant access to Amazon’s massive selection of digital content, a vibrant color IPS touchscreen with extra-wide viewing angle, a 14.6 ounce design that’s easy to hold with one hand, a state-of-the-art dual core processor, free storage in the Amazon Cloud, and an ultra-fast mobile browser – Amazon Silk – available exclusively on Kindle Fire.We are building premium products and offering them at non-premium prices.
Thank you for being a customer,
Jeff Bezos
Founder & CEOp.s. – Kindle Fire has a radical new web browser called Amazon Silk. When you use Silk – without thinking about it or doing anything explicit – you’re calling on the raw computational horsepower of Amazon EC2 to accelerate your web browsing. If you're curious, watch this short video to learn more about how it works.

Xoom ad
Actually the xoom ad that Motorola aired during superbowl is actually not that anti apple.
Well, ok, it is, but it never says the name or show the fruit, and if you use the white buds that come with the iPod, well, you might be a robot, those thing sound like shit.
Motorola struggles mightily and rarely comes out with great hardware, the droid was the last time we regarded Motorola's design with something tantamount to respect, so I believe we can understand why they want to pick a fight with apple, but what I don't get is how the hell they think they can get something out of calling the apple loyalist soulless drones , I already spoke about about this, people with ideals when buying hardware are few and actually not so prone to expend money on day one and only because this is the "anti iPad". so I think this ad is cool only because it reminds us of how far is apple from the company they believed they were back in 1984 when Ridley Scott directed that legendary promo (that was never aired again for copyright infrigement of Orwell's work)
The xoom is going to cost $800 (USD) so they have an uphill battle and that is only against the original iPad, if apple remains loyal to it's tradition we''l have a new ipad at the same price point in a few weeks.
Are the fandroids coming to Motorola's rescue? I don't think so, most Android noisy fans do not own top of the line terminals.

Xoom Honeycomb tablet video #2
¿tambien nos queremos robar al señor Ive?
Xoom by Motorola
En lo que LTE llega y se afianza, Motorola tiene una tableta con la versión de Android "aprobada y santificada" por Google Honeycomb y aquí hay una serie de bulletpoints sobre sus features.
Que ya hasta las tablets sean dual core es señal de que la gente si puede pagarla no está dispuesta a esperar ni un segundo más d elo necesario para correr una aplicación, y que ya la vida d ela batería hay que tratar de prolongarla con otras técnicas.
HAy specs de esta tablet d elas que hablaremos después, pero si hay alguien que le dice CPU a la cajota donde se alojan los componentes de su PC, pues con ellos ni hablar.

Demo de Honeycomb (Android 3.0 for tablets) @CES 2011
Algo pierden las cosas cuando dejamos de imaginarlas , eso si, queda claro el porque Google intento indirectamente que Samsung se "aguantara las carnes" con el lanzamiento de su tab.
