Amazon Video Streaming On Demand on Tivo

It appears Netflix isn’t the only one streaming video to Tivo. Amazon appears to be launching their own Amazon Video on Demand, as seen above in the Tivo menu. Although the "Available in High Definition" menu option doesn’t work yet, it appears it will soon.

This could be bad news for Netflix.

Microsoft Confirms Xbox 360 Arcade has 256 MB of Internal Storage

Microsoft has officially confirmed the new Xbox 360 Arcade will have its own 256 MB of internal storage. A Microsoft spokesperson said:

"We are constantly updating the console’s more than 1700 internal components. We can confirm that we are moving to internal memory for the Xbox 360 Arcade. The physical internal memory is the same size as the previous external memory units - 256MB."

Why couldn’t Microsoft have done this in the first place, instead of forcing previous customers to buy a memory card?

Evolution of LEGO Miniman

This video of the Evolution of LEGO Miniman is just cool. Thought I’d share it.

Nokia N97 To Challenge iPhone and G1

Nokia revealed its N97 phone, which is meant to compete head-to-head with Apple’s iPhone, and Google’s G1. The N97 has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 32 GB of storage which is expandable to 48 GB via a 16 GB memory card, a 5 megapixel camera, a GPS with turn-by-turn directions, and a 640×360 16:9 touchscreen.

The one weak area is in the applications. Although the N97 is open to third-party developers, it may have been smarter to do that, plus run a virtual space that allows iPhone and G1 apps to be installed and run on the phone. If you’re going to compete, blow the customer’s, and competition’s, socks off.
