tech news: 11-8-2006

happy tech news day ybp’ers! i hope you all voted yesterday. it looks like the balance of power has shifted in the house of representatives and the 6 years of republican monopoly is slowing to an end. i feel bad for not being a part of changing history, but i guess that’s the price you pay for being overseas.

anyways, some noteworthy announcements and news:

gears of war came out yesterday for xbox360 (get look getting one). as many blogs will point out, the average metareviews are 95/100. apparently the game developers, epic, did a great job to ring in the new-era of next generation games.

just like the macbook pros, macbooks get a core 2 duo upgrade. as engadget pointed out, i’m hoping they snuck in the 802.11n standard with the new chipset.

in a move that i think will be big as time goes, microsoft announces that you can officially download and view tv shows and movies in standard and HIGH DEF through the xbox 360. though a hard drive update is likely to come, microsoft singly handedly slapped sony (no download service for ps3), in-demand, netflix. too bad their never get any ABC or Disney shows! here’s a howto.

sprint gets a slvr (finally) and a comment war about it and the katana ensues.

information is good. the web is good. 13 nations still don’t get it.
