WII - Turnip v0.1 Released14/7/2009
by Makar,


Conanac has released a application (named "Turnip") that can show you what Tom Nook (from Animal Crossing Wii) will offer to buy your turnips each day. It is done by checking your game save (after you have bought turnips) from an SD Card. It shows the prices for each day/time from the time you buy them to the time they get rotten. It also provides the user with a derived or add-on game (a game that some or all of its inputs come from other game data) which uses those turnip prices information. For more information, look at the source.

My Opinion - I don't play Animal Crossing anymore, but if I did would really love to try this.

WII - Nintendo Power talks about the new Legend of Zelda11/7/2009
by Makar.


The new Nintendo Power magazine features an overview of this years E3. Here is what they said about the new Legend of Zelda for Wii:

"Nintendo made some big announcements at its E3 press conference, but one of the biggest came at a media briefing with Shigeru Miyamoto, held after the first day of the show: the unveiling of an all-new Legend of Zelda game for Wii, Granted, the game might not be out until after 2010, and all Nintendo had to show was one illustration, but any new Zelda is a cause for celebration. Nintendo representatives wouldn't confirm who the mysterious female character behind Link is, but her head sure is pointy- kinda like a sword-and her unique robes and belt have some sword-hit-like properties. Miyamoto emphasized that he wants Zelda games to create personalized memories of the experience with each player, especially where dungeons and puzzles are concerned. Additionally, Sport Reseort might be a lot like how those activities are handled in the next Zelda game; it's even possible that the next Wii Zelda will be played exclusively with the Wii MotionPlus accessory. Hopefully we won' have to wait long to find out more." - Chris Hoffman, Senior Editor.

My Opinion: Although Link is not wearing a Sword of anykind in the picture, I don't think that female character is anywhere close to being a sword.

PC - Google makes Chrome OS9/7/2009
by Makar,



First there is Google Chrome... Then there is Chrome OS. Google is making their own Operating System. It will be really devoted to Web functionality, making computers faster, and opening it up for third party developers (unlike Windows).

"The operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web," Google said on it's official blog, "It's our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be."

Chrome OS will be available as "open-source" technology. That means software developers will be able to mess with the code behind the system, allowing them to develop new applications for it. Google's services are free, but keep in mind that this doesn't mean the OS will be.

Google's blog says its OS will be designed specifically to work with netbooks at first. Later versions are expected to target the larger desktop and laptop computer markets. Google says that it's "going back to basics" with this operating system.

The company writes:

"People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up. They want their computers to always run as fast as when they first bought them. They want their data to be accessible to them wherever they are and not have to worry about losing their computer or forgetting to back up files. Even more importantly, they don't want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware, or have to worry about constant software updates. And any time our users have a better computing experience, Google benefits as well by having happier users who are more likely to spend time on the Internet."

Chrome OS will be available this coming fall or winter.

My Opinion: I am definitely going to try this. Who knows... Maybe they will make a video gaming console as well. Google is really expanding.
