iJigg combines the idea of Digg with music. You can post music like you submit stories on Digg and visitors can listen to them on a little Flash player attached to each post. Users can then Digg Jigg the song.

The developers have commented on Digg that it’s like youtube as well. I’m guessing that’s the case since you can embed the song in your site/blog, or they’re a little optimistic. In any case, they shouldn’t limit themselves to just music. Eventually they’ll probably move up to video for music videos. Bandwidth, I’m assuming, is the issue for this startup.

I found this on TechEBlog. They had a post about 7 things you can do with paper. I found this one to be the most practical. The cup is good too.

This is a gas that’s five times thicker than air and they make an aluminum foil boat float for a little bit.

This is a chart of the stocks of Apple, Palm, RIM, Motorola, and Nokia on January 9th, 2007. You can see when iPhone was introduced and when Palm and RIM (blackberry) pulled their hair out, started to go home, and beat their wives/husbands.

Funny good!

I don’t know why but this picture made me laugh out loud by myself. It’s the 5th picture in the photostream. You should go through them in order to replicate my experience.

This is a video of someone who hacked one of those portable credit card processors. I see these all the time at computer shows but the reception is bad on them so the vendors have to run outside of the convention hall to process credit card purchases.

Anyway, someone hacked them so that they could play Tetris on it. Here is the link to the article about it. Link

I was reading an interesting article about how the PS3 is a dud for Sony. Then I came across a preview for Gran Turismo HD, which the demo for is now available to download. As you can see to your left and in the screenshots at the article, Gran Turismo HD looks incredible. There’s no denying that it is by far the best looking game you can play on a console at the moment. Then I realized it’s not the best graphics you can possibly get at this exact moment and this won’t change for a long time. One of the biggest arguements for console over a PC loaded with a high-end graphics card, CPU, RAM, etc. was the price.

Obviously, you can easily spend more than $500-600 for the graphics card alone but I think there’s a line in price where the hardcore gamer that demand the highest graphics possible and the more casual gamer meet, and that line is lower than $600.

Sony has priced themselves out of the console wars. It no longer competes as a gaming machine, it’s an entertainment box with gaming capabilities. Sony admits to this. When the Xbox 360 HD-DVD add-on came out the PS3 was no longer the best entertainment box you could get. Now, both the 360 and the PS3 have the ability to play High Definition movies but one major difference, PS3 cannot play your old DVDs! The PS3 only has the Blue-Ray blue laser sensor that can only play Blue-Ray discs, it is different from the regular red laser used in normal CD/DVD players. So you would need a separate DVD player by your television to watch all those DVDs you’ve bought over the years. Either that or buy them again in Blue-Ray version, of course if the movie you want is under the studio that supports Blue-Ray.

Right now there is no way that I would buy a PS3 even if it was cheaper than the Xbox 360. I would not have fun with it. Then again, I’ll probably get one once Final Fantasy XIII comes out (the picture below is an actual gameplay screenshot).

This is what a $1.6 million car looks like until it decides that it doesn’t want you to look at it anymore.

I got bored and redesigned my blog. And here it is. There are still a few little improvements, but it’s getting there.
