Xperia Play
Posted in: playstation, smartphones A quick look a the world’s first Playstation smartphone
We spent some time with Sony Ericsson’s new Xperia Play mobile phone, which combines the latest Android Gingerbread operating system with a Playstation gaming console. Geared toward the gaming-first niche of smartphone users, the Xperia Play is essentially a sleeker version of the PSP. Simply slide it open and the phone goes immediately into gaming mode, with a category-defining controller right at your fingertips.
What the first generation Xperia Play lacks aesthetically it makes up for it with its abundance of entertainment options. This multimedia powerhouse allows you to effortlessly upload clips straight to YouTube or video chat with friends using the 5.1 megapixel front-facing camera. The 4″ multi-touch screen is powered by a Snapdragon graphic processor, making colors crisper and 3D gaming graphics smoother than ever. All this combined with full access to the Android Market and more than 60 games available for download within the first week of launch makes for an incredible gaming experience.
Already available in most of Europe and Asia, the Xperia Play will be available stateside spring 2011.

An uncluttered reporter who does all his field work with an iPhone 4
Posted in: UncategorizedIf you drive in Washington, D.C., you very likely listen to WTOP radio. Every 10 minutes, on the eights (:08, :18, :28, etc.), WTOP reports traffic conditions and then the weather. In between the traffic and weather reports flows a steady stream of award-winning local and national news coverage.
Neal Augenstein, a WTOP reporter who covers everything from hard news to fun feature pieces, has recently been outed by the station as being “… the first major market radio reporter who does most of his field production on an iPhone.”
In an article for PBS’s digital media blog MediaShift, Augenstein explains in detail how he ditched his old equipment and made the switch to using an iPhone 4 for his field work.
With the VC Audio Pro app from VeriCorder, I can quickly pull cuts, edit and assemble audio wraps, and adjust volumes on a three-track screen similar to the popular Adobe Audition used in many newsrooms. The amount of time saved by not having to boot up the laptop and transfer audio has been my single greatest workflow improvement.
He also gives specifics for how he captures audio, video, and images, and how he broadcasts them from his phone.
He admits the setup isn’t perfect — claiming the sound quality of his field reports is just “92% as good as when I use bulky broadcast equipment” — but that there are amazing benefits to being uncluttered, incredibly portable, and always able to record.

Josh Nimoy on the secrets behind the special effects in Tron Legacy
Posted in: Uncategorized
Josh Nimoy spent six months developing software art to generate special effects for Tron Legacy working along side Bradley “GMUNK” Munkowitz, Jake Sargeant, and David “dlew” Lewandowski at Digital Domain. He goes into great detail to explain the process behind the VFX and maintaining integrity in the UI design.
I take representing digital culture in film very seriously in lieu of having grown up in a world of very badly researched user interface greeble. I cringed during the part in Hackers (1995) when a screen saver with extruded “equations” is used to signify that the hacker has reached some sort of neural flow or ambiguous destination. I cringed for Swordfish and Jurassic Park as well. I cheered when Trinity in The Matrix used nmap and ssh (and so did you). Then I cringed again when I saw that inevitably, Hollywood had decided that nmap was the thing to use for all its hacker scenes (see Bourne Ultimatum, Die Hard 4, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, The Listening, 13: Game of Death, Battle Royale, Broken Saints, and on and on). In Tron, the hacker was not supposed to be snooping around on a network; he was supposed to kill a process. So we went with posix kill and also had him pipe ps into grep. I also ended up using emacs eshell to make the terminal more l33t.
