Pong Revived

Posted by Jim as Gaming

This wonderful news from LikeCool. I don’t know, something in me kicks in when people talk about Pong. Maybe because I was one of the “fortunate” few who actually stayed up real late so I can touch that Atari paddle and try a game of Pong. And that was after a long line of 20 elementary school classmates who wanted their fair shot too. Yeah, that was the hip thing my friend… nothing like being there when everything was in their baby stages.This Pong table, boy is something to look out for. Designed by Moritz Waldemeyer, aiming to re-create that feeling way back 70’s when it was a real worldwide hit. This tabletop has 2,400 LEDs and two track pads embedded in its surface. When the game’s turned off, it sits like any other table.I am unsure if this is in its concept stage or would be available soon.

That’s a cool table - however it is absolutely terrible for the posture and so not very ergonomically designed!

The 3G iPhone

I’ve had 3G on my Nokia N95 enabled since I got it – which is about a month or two ago now. I was thus surprised to learn that the iPhone didn’t include this much faster way to connect to the Internet. Consequently, I wasn’t exactly surprised when Steve Jobs big announcement turned [...]
