Neversoft has done it again with their third installment of thier Guitar Hero series. This game has it all, everything the gamers could have asked for. There are more songs than ever, about 70 to be exact, also, there is downloadable content that will be avaliable as time moves forward.
One big key item is that there are many more songs that performed by the orgianl artists, where as before most of the songs were covered by a different band.
Another big feature is the ability to play against people online across the globe. Not only does this game play much better than the previous ones, it looks more real and is much more visually entertaining even for those watching or waiting to play.
Microsoft released a Voice Activated In car technology that came available on the current model year Ford Motor Vehicles.
Below is a commercial advertisement for the Sync technology in a Ford vehicle.
With this in car multimedia center, from the touch of a button the driver can pick a particular artist or even a specific song. For example, the driver touches the media button and says, "Atrist, Radiohead," and the car will automatically go to that artist and play all available songs from an iPod. The driver can also link up a bluetooth device such as a phone, and have it check his/her messages, battery status, and even type text messages for the driver. Developed by Microsoft exculsively for Ford Motor Vehicles, Sync enabled cars have just hit the road, and are already makking a big splash.
Walter S. Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal, breaks down the capabilities and advantages of Sync technology in the following video.
Although it seems like the embedding of technology into our every day lives is becoming slightly ridiculous, such as ordering a pizza online, Sync presents a viable way of integrating technology. It allows the driver to multi task as they normally would, but Sync allows them to keep their concentration on driving. In recent years, the cause of car accidents has been related to drivers text messaging while on the road. Hopefully, with this technology, it will create a better multimedia environments for drivers.
The band announced Decemeber 5th that the album "In Rainbow" would no longer be available on their website starting December 10th. The band stated that the album will be released by CD and vinyl the 31st of December.
Radiohead will support "In Rainbows" with world tour dates beginning next spring.
Radiohead released their album on their website Radiohead.com on October 10, 2007. The album was released to fans just 10 days after it was complete through downloads off of their website. The fans were also given the option of paying for the album what they felt it deserved or even nothing at all.
Radiohead did a live webcast on their website to perform the newest songs from the "In Rainbow" album. Below is their performance of "Bodysnatchers."
Like most of the band's previous albums, "In Rainbow" was an amazing album very much worth purchasing once it's released at the end of December. It just goes to show that when you're an amazing band like Radiohead, you can continue to live of to the hype of new releases whereas many other bands have fallen short of fans' expectations.
