Sony Dubs Motion Controller "PlayStation Move"
Last Updated on Thursday, 11 March 2010 02:02 Written by Gary Hendricks Thursday, 11 March 2010 02:02
What happens if you take Nintendo’s Wii remote and nunchuck and paint them black, streamline the controllers, and cut the tail? You get Sony’s PlayStation Move motion controller and sub-controller. Instead of a sensor bar, the PlayStation Move platform relies on the PlayStation Eye camera to help “deliver an innovative and highly immersive experience.” The camera purports to detect precise movement, angle, and even how far away the player is from the console. As for the motion controller itself, it includes a three-axis gyroscope, a three-axis accelerometer, and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor, as well as a color-changing field sensor that the camera uses to track movement. According to Sony, this combination allows for both fast and subtle motion. Kotaku has put together a handy list outlining the differences between the PlayStation Move and Nintendo’s Wii remote (see here ), including fewer buttons, “a smarter controller,” and no wire between the motion- and sub-controller. Sony says it will launch the new controllers worldwide this fall, but didn’t offer up any pricing info. Image Credit: Sony

Last Updated on Wednesday, 10 March 2010 04:17 Written by Cedric Price Wednesday, 10 March 2010 04:17
Asus today announced the launch of its Cine5 PC speaker. According to Asus, it’s the world’s most compact five-channel speaker and serves up multi-directional surround sound. “By integrating an array of speaker drivers into a single bar, the Cine5 PC speaker helps users save space in their study rooms,” Asus said. “Additionally, installation is simplified by eliminating the need to set up multiple satellite speakers—users just need to place the Cine5 PC speaker below the computer monitor. No positional adjustment is necessary to get the sweet spot for audio recreation.” The Cine5 pumps out 25W max (15W RMS) and measures 373 x 100 x 100 mm with metal stands (373 x 100 x 80 mm with rubber stands). it comes with a 3.5mm jack for multi-channel inputs, headphone output, volume knob, and a 5.1 channel audio cable. Asus also says you can expect a bit of punch with the Cine5, despite its compact size. By using a specially-designed bass reflex port, Asus claims the Cine5 provides 15dB more bass than speakers of similar size. No word yet on price or availability. Image Credit: Asus

In the highly competitive enterprise storage sector, IBM this week had reason to celebrate, saying it achieved the highest growth among the top three storage vendors. According to a market share report by IDC, IBM’s external disk storage systems revenue grew by 9 percent year-over-year during the fourth quarter of 2009, putting the company’s growth rate well ahead of the competition. By contrast, EMC stayed relatively flat with a 0.7 percent decline, while Hewlett Packard’s revenue took a backwards slide to the tune of 7.3 percent during the same quarter. Big Blue also noted gains in the Windows and Linux OS segments in 2009, boasting a 24 percent increase in Linux storage. What makes this particularly noteworthy is that the overall Linux storage market was down 4 percent. Image Credit: IBM
