It'd already been known that HTC got a little help from the boys and girls at San Fran-based One & Co in designing its beautiful, WinMo-defying TouchFLO 3D user interface along with the Touch Diamond on which it premiered; apparently, HTC likes the result so much that it's snapping the privately-held firm right off the market. One & Co's expertise certainly isn't limited to phones -- its clients span from Coca-Cola to Adidas, Dell, and Palm -- and interestingly, HTC has decided that the move won't spell the end of the design consultancy, so if you were hoping to get your hands on an HTC-designed K2 snowboard, you might just have a shot. We're told that the injection of fresh thought that found its way into the Diamond will ultimately filter its way through HTC's entire lineup, which we're taking to mean Android- and WinMo-based devices alike -- and sorry, G1, but if this means that we can eventually land a Google-powered set with a giant display and some glossy facets on its rear, you know you're getting eBayed right quick.

Sortie : 4 décembre 2008 Shaun White Snowboarding est comme, son nom land#039;indique une simulation de Snowboard tournant avec le moteur de Assassinand#039;s Creed. Bien loin des sensations arcades de SSX, Shaun White Snowboarding gérera plus finement le centre de gravité du surfeur et ne proposera pas des figures incroyables. La petite particularité, cand#039;est que le joueur sera libre de se promener dans des environnements ouverts (quatre montagnes sont prévues : Alpes, Japon, Alaska et Utah) avec chacun leur particularité. au programme : Descente classique, course, pipe etc.

Il n'y a pas qu'au Japon et aux Etats-Unis qu'on pourra jouer à Family Ski 2, en Europe aussi. Images.

Saison d#39;hiver oblige, Atari confirme la localisation de Family Ski amp; Snowboard pour le mois de février en Europe. De quoi confirmer le choix des uns et des autres qui se tâtaient pour le premier volet en attendant l#39;éventuelle arrivée sur notre sol de cette suite, forcément plus belle, plus complexe, plus complète. Rappelons que le nerf de la guerre dans ce Family Ski amp; Snowboard réside dans la prise en charge de la Wii Balance Board et que cette dernière pourra désormais faire office de snowboard (forcément, c#39;est comme le Port Salut, c#39;est marqué dans le titre). A vous donc les joies de la poudreuse bien au chaud dans votre salon (ou chambre, c#39;est selon) prochainement sur Wii. N#39;oubliez pas vos bâtons et vos tablettes d#39;Ovomaltine.

Echte Abenteurer zieht es in die Rocky Mountains. Kälte, Einsamkeit und die aufregendsten Abfahrten der Welt soll es da geben. Aspen oder Park City in Utah kennt man auch. Doch was ist mit Skifahren in Montana? Was mit den Alpen? Oder etwas skurriler: Dubai? Marokko? Hier sind die Most Amazing Places.

Mandy Sellars n’est pas quelqu’un qui a de la chance. Elle est la porteuse du syndrome de Protée, une maladie génétique complexe comprenant des hamartomes (malformations tissulaires) de taille importante impliquant plusieurs tissus : tissu conjonctif, tissu épidermique et tissu osseux. Ses jambes sont 3 fois plus grandes que son corps – 89 cm – et pèsent plus de 70 kg. Quand elle est née, elle avait déjà des jambes de grande taille et d’une année à l’autre elles continuaient de grandir, même si son corps avait une taille normale. Malgré sa maladie, Mandy Sellars est une personne active et créative. Même maintenant, alors qu’il y aura peut-être amputation des deux jambes, elle déclare qu'est prête à accepter cela comme une nouvelle forme de la vie. « Sans jambes, se sera plus facile de faire du snowboard ou du radeau », plaisante Mandy.
