Dekaron SEA – Now On It’s 2nd Week of CBT

August 19, 2008 · Comments 

Dekaron SEA is now on its second week of closed beta testing. For all of you n00bz out there who ain’t got the 733t haxxor skillz I do (for shiznits!), when a game goes into ‘closed beta testing’, it means the game goes live for a limited number of people in order for the publisher or developer to gather data prior to releasing the game publicly. It’s like your momma giving your friends free cookies before she starts her own catering shop. Or your sister sleeping with your friends before she turns into a bonafide hoe. Amazing what metaphors can do in this day and age.

Anyway, while you were busy getting your rocks off to your favorite yaoi, Dekaron SEA has been in closed beta for a week now. And you didn’t know, did ya?

Dekaron SEA started accepting registrations for closed beta testers as early as July 23 (last month), and gave out the activation codes Monday of last week, August 11. The CBT client has been available for download the day before the actual CBT began, but no one was able to log in until the virtual gates were open, and when they did, boy, it was a cyberstampede!

Wearable eye-controlled gadgets in tests

June 30, 2008 · 4 Comments 

eye controlled gadget

Ever get tired of wasting more time looking for your TV remote or tired of standing up just to get the remote just to turn up the volume? Well, this is for you.

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo is testing a gadget where you can turn up the volume of a portable music player by just rolling your eyes and tapping your fingers to turn on a DVD player.

Although it is still unknown when or will it be out in the market. But if ever it gets in the market, I bet it will sell like hot-cakes specially to those who is lazy to stand up..  :D

In a demonstration Tuesday, researcher Hiroyuki Manabe wore a giant headset covered with wires to show how computer graphic lines in a monitor connected to the headset darted wildly whenever his eyes moved.

He turned up the volume on a digital music player by rolling his eyes, and he jerked his eyes twice to the right to fast forward.

Local Company Explores Bluetooth Technology as a Marketing Tool

June 30, 2008 · 2 Comments 

BlueZoneSince most of the mobile phones and other electronic devices released nowadays usually come with Bluetooth, a local firm is now exploring to use Bluetooth technology as a marketing tool.

They are setting up “BlueZones” in some areas within the SM Hypermart where consumers can go and use their cellphone’s bluetooth functionality to buy specific products.

Products like ring tones, games and electronic coupons among others are the ones most probably available on demand on these “BlueZones”.

Since I think majority of the consumers got a basic, non-bluetooth mobile phones, most likely, this initiative will get a minimal support from the regulars.Nevertheless, this is a nice idea in utilizing an existing technology.
