"Beware of getting hit by a motorized vehicle as you step out of the Bharti building. According to my calculations the probability of such an event is at least 10^3 times more than catching the H1N1 in any serious way." - Suban

Braid

The best game i have played recently. Its a fusion of puzzle, platform & story telling all fused in a beautiful & artistic package. Definitely the best puzzle-solving game I have everplayed and definitely in my all-time favourite list. Its the first time I have seen how gaming can be so artistic!!! For those who ridicule gaming and think its meant for kids, go and check out this game. It should dispel those thoughts & if it doesn't then you are too bland to appreciate art. Hope other game developers take note of this game and actually build some serious games rather than some sloppy stories with repetitive gameplay.

Nothing radically different in Firefox 3.5. The claimed speed improvement is too negligible to notice.

Blending 3D models with videos

Currently, we leave the work of capturing detailed videos to professional videographers & building complex & intricate 3D animated scenes to the likes of Pixar & company who take a painstaking effort, time & money in creating masterpieces. In fact even games are getting so realistic that they would be beating Pixar & company pretty soon. However, what we need is a simple conversion utility which will convert a video into a 3D world in which 3D characters can move about realizing the presence of walls and should be able to interact with the objects present in the videos. According to me this blend between videos & 3D animation is an interesting angle to research as it would open an exciting possibilities. Remeber playing Sims type game an walking down Champs Elysees with your date and making out with her, with the Eiffel Tower in the background. And obviously the woo-hoo can be done somewhere or the other :-P
