    - I actually had it crossing it abut Feb 3rd. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:53 15
      - Looks to be the 5th now. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:57 14
        
        Yeah, I've had it pegged for February 5th for a couple weeks now. -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 13:00
        
        That looks right, give or take a day. It's performed above and beyond best case scenario at each and every landmark. -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:59 11
        
        When do Oscar noms come out? - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:01 10
        
        Next Tuesday, yes, but it has a problem getting double digit nods since it isn't competitive in the acting categories. -- nm - David Jan 27, 13:03 9
        
        I think it'll get 10 or 11. - Inigo Jan 27, 13:07 5
        
        Only 1 I don't see happening is Screenplay. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:09 4

        All the tech awards, picture, director and ... he could still be looking at 6-8 nominations - Will Hunting Jan 27, 13:07
        
        Yeah...but it can still get a boatload...with all the technical noms, a BP, Director, Screenplay, etc. -- nm - Jim Jan 27, 13:06 1
        
        Screenplay? Hah! That's funny. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 13:07
        
        Doesn't matter what day. It's all for the greater good. -- nm - Shaun Jan 27, 12:59
[deleted] 19
- What? Or what? -- nm - nubby, 2012 Jan 27, 12:50
- I think iPad is influential in price, only. There's nothing technologically special about it. Natal isn't that special, either, IMHO. - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 12:48 2
  - and will be common on all consoles by 2011 - decline Jan 27, 12:50 1
    - The other consoles though have the common sense to include buttons in their motion control. -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 13:03
- it two years they'll both be old news and the silicon snake oil peddlers will be trying to convince you there's some other cool shit you need...nm - x Jan 27, 12:47 14
  - two years is a bit premature. And both of them have potential use-cases that can impact future research and development. - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:48 10
    - i've pretty much given up console games, so i don't care at all about natal..nm - x Jan 27, 12:50 8
      - I don't care about Natal as a console accessory, not in the slightest. I care about it as an object recognition technology. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:51 7
        
        i freely admit i really know nothing about it at all....nm - x Jan 27, 12:52 6
        
        Using it as a console accessory is a gimmick, but to get it to work, they made some real innovations. It can uniquely identify dozens of body parts - Beryllium Jan 27, 13:01 1
        
        ... as long as you are white -- nm -- nm - decline Jan 27, 13:03
        
        Right now, for me, it's just another gimmick. I have pretty much stayed away from any reports about it though so I have 0 knowledge. -- nm - Shaun Jan 27, 12:53
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        hey, i read about it once or twice when i used to read mainstream videogame sites!....nm - x Jan 27, 12:54 1
        
        I think gamasutra's monthly NDP article is pretty well written, but the rest of the big sites really do suck. -- nm - Inigo Jan 27, 13:21
    - (for example, the helmut HUD from Halo ODST, the one that wire-frames the enemies, could probably be done with natal right now) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:49
  - 3D TV's!! Get one now! Get it while they are hot!! -- nm - decline Jan 27, 12:48 2
    - ooooh, where do i sign up? i sure hope they're expensive!.....nm - x Jan 27, 12:49 1
      - i have *so* missed you -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 12:56
SITWAP: What do we know about Microsofts new tablet "Courier"? Looks interesting - sycor Jan 27, 12:46 4
- from what I understand it was just a prototype they were playing with and will never become a product. -- nm - decline Jan 27, 12:47 1
  - that's disappointing. looks pretty cool. way better than the iPad -- nm - sycor Jan 27, 12:53
- all i know is that IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND THAT OF YOUR CHILDREN!....nm - x Jan 27, 12:46 1
  - It's gonna do what to my children, now? -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 12:49
Billy West and John Di Maggio were on the last Kevin Pollak Chat Show. (that's Fry and Bender for you non-Futurama people) -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 12:44 4
- which you can watch via Tivo now! -- nm - Soap McRemlik Jan 27, 12:50 2
  - Wait, what what now? (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 12:56
  - I've already unsubscribed from it on Tivo. I hardly have the space or time at home. I'll watch it at work. -- nm - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 12:52
- the last one ever? Jay Leno stole *that*, too? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:45
Putting aside whether you think the ipad is worthwhile or not (and even just thinking of the iphone and the like), it's really pretty amazing what you - pmb Jan 27, 12:44 13
- in the 80s we were already being told that the computing powers in watches and calculators then were greater than what was used in the Apollo missions -- nm - zork Jan 27, 13:08
- I was talking with my son the other day about how much power my Blackberry has compared to the Apple II that I grew up on -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 12:58
- you have no idea -- nm - Greg Oden Jan 27, 12:57
- I'm actually more blown away by Google's book scanning and streetview coverage. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 12:50
- I like how the Sci-Fi shows are getting beat by Sci-Reality now. -- nm - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 27, 12:48
- The iterations are getting smaller and the tech advances are getting more dramatic, too. - David Jan 27, 12:47
- i remember Get Smart reruns, and i wanted a shoe phone. it seemed like the most impossible thing. - Andie Jan 27, 12:45 5
  - I used to watch a ton of get smart reruns ... and the shoe phone always struck me as hilariously ill-planned, just like the rest of CONTROL ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:47 4
    - oh, it was meant to be absurd, but the idea of a portable phone wowed me when i was a kid. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:48 3
      - But Dick Tracy had had his radio wristwatch for thirty years by then! -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:51 2
        
        and i had walkie-talkies. but for some reason a 'phone' seemed cooler. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:58
        
        and we actually have a Cone of Silence technology, in active-noise-cancellation -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 12:52
- I'm still waiting for X-Ray glasses -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:44
alright, that mad Tv skit on the iPad was pretty funny. -- (link) - decline Jan 27, 12:43 [youtube]
David, the reviews I'm reading of Dragon say that it won't handle multiple voices - Reagen Jan 27, 12:40 11
- I was impressed by the accuracy of its transcription. If you have a computer that can be dedicated to it, I think you'll like it. -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:43 9
  - the evolution of it over the last 10 years was...impressive - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 27, 12:47 1
    - That's an amazing story. -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:52
  - what version do you use? -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:46 6
    - I just checked the box and I apparently use Naturally Speaking 10. Looking at Amazon, that appears to be the most recent version. -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:54 3
      - Per my co-worker we use V9.5 but will be moving to the V10.0 soon. - Mel - gay for pixie Jan 27, 13:17
      - the Standard version, or one of the more featurey ones? -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:55 1
        
        I got the one that came with a non-bluetooth headset if that helps. - David Jan 27, 12:57
