SIM2 never fails to stun, and it's proving yet again that it couldn't care less about the global economic situation (or that it just aims at a class of people that are simply unaffected) with the Grand Cinema HT5000E. Said device was actually outed yesterday courtesy of an HDGiants pair-up, but today we're being gifted with the official details. The three-chip DLP beamer includes a trio of 0.95-inch DarkChip4 DMDs, a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, six lens options, Ethernet jack for remote control and world-class color uniformity / edge-to-edge focus capabilities. Yeah, it'll cost you more than most vehicles and even some diminutive homes at $57,995, but at least the white glove delivery service is included. A true bargain, let us tell you. Full release is after the break.

Nintendo's Satoru Iwata has said that there is still potential for DS growth, despite critics suggesting the market is saturated.
"Some say the market for the DS is saturated, but I disagree," said Iwata, speaking to the Daily Yomiuri.

“In Japan, a country with a population of 127 million, we've sold 23 million DS units. The United States is inhabited by over 300 million people, and there are more than 490 million people in the European Union.

"Sales of the product could grow further in foreign countries considering their populations," he added. There is sales potential in Europe and emerging markets such as India and Russia, said Iwata. And while Nintendo hardware has been a runaway success in 2008, he noted that Nintendo is monitoring the current economic downturn closely.
"The number of people playing games is rapidly increasing in Europe, where the penetration of games had been slow. In Germany, bookstores have opened Nintendo sections and Wii software has sold well.

"I'd also like to focus on emerging markets such as Russia and India.

"I think the game industry will keep doing well in 2009. However, the current economic recession is something that happens only once in 50 or 100 years. We have to monitor the market very carefully," he said.

Hey, cube dwellers -- call your manager over and give him / her a look at this, because starting today, conference calling will never be the same.

Hi,

Basically, I just got myself a psp from ebay which appears to have 2.60 firmware.

When I go to the memory stick I have 3 folders, "ISO, VIDEO and PSP"

I have been putting CSO and ISO files in the ISO folder and have managed to get a handfull of CSO games working, but none of the ISO games???

In the "PSP" folder I have the following folders: "GAME, GAME150, GAME271(inside folder says eboots go here), MUSIC, PHOTO, SAVEDATA and SYSTEM"

I have tried putting eboot games into the "GAME271" folder, but these don't work.

I don't really know if I am able to upgrade the software, I'm under the impression that If I click on "update Version 2.60" I may lose the firmware and the ability to play homebrew games????

Can anyone give me advice on this firmware and How to use it ? I would just be happy to play a few more CSO file games and some of the ISO file games !

Any advice would be greatly appreciated...Thanks,

Justin

While one can't be blamed for mistaking all of composer Danny Elfman's work for sounding like his distinctive collaborations with Tim Burton, the three-time Oscar nominee has been kicking as much ass as ever when it comes to more conventional action fare, with work on The Kingdom, Wanted, and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, not to mention dramas like Milk and Notorious.

So when the MTV Movies Blog broke the news that Elfman just began scoring this summer's Terminator: Salvation, it sounded like as good a fit as any. He doesn't promise the return of Brad Fiedel's signature theme, though he also doesn't rule it out. Even if he sticks with a wholly original composition, I really think he'll bring something exciting to the table, whether or not director McG manages to.

MTV also brought less surprising news that hip-hop artist Common, who starred in Wanted and stars in this, will be contributing a track. Now I could see the beat turning up for that:

Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh -- WHAT?
Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh -- YEAH!

Y'all feelin' me? No? Well, are you at least feeling the Elfman?

Although Google keeps gaining search engine market share, people’s loyalties are far from locked in. J.P. Morgan Internet analyst Imran Khan recently conducted a survey to see if Web consumers would be willing to switch search engines. He found that 62 percent would. The biggest reason that would cause them to change? Better search results (45 percent of all respondents said this would make them switch, and 48 percent of respondents who use Google as their main engine).

The responses, in order of popularity:

I’ve recreated the poll below so that you can take it. J.P. Morgan’s poll was only among 766 U.S. residents. We can probably do better than that.

What Would Make You Want To Try A New Search Engine?

Here are some more results from J.P. Morgan’s poll, including the demographics of different search engine users. Google attracts both the wealthiest (70 percent of people with incomes greater than $100,000) and the youngest serachers (67 percent of people between 18 and 41).
