30. September 2006
For those of you that read BIDB regularly, you know Jason Statham is my hero (Transporter 2 and Crank are outrageously awesome fun), he’s up there with a few select people that I just love to watch kick ass. A lesser known fact is that Jet Li is completely and utterly awesome, if you like [...]

30. September 2006
This is one game I am very excited about. I am starting to lean farther away from classic FPS and Fighters and really get into RPG-type games, mostly games with strong story lines and characters and Alan Wake absolutely looks like it will have all of the above. To prepare you for this or to [...]
Continue reading...Professional Java Swing Interface
30. September 2006
Wow, was reading through the Swing Sightings recently and saw the announcement of UltraMixer as the “best looking Swing interface we’ve ever seen”, I have to agree: I think it’s obvious from the website and the interface that this is the result you get when you mix software development with professional graphic artists, so [...]

29. September 2006
‘SupraLB‘ posted some shots recently of his beautiful new WD-65831 on the BDI Deploy Max stand (personally this is the setup I will be gunning for if the XBR2 flops and don’t dazzled consistently across the board, so it was nice to see). The first pictures shows that glare from all the windows in the [...]

28. September 2006
Ok this one is for the Samsung lovers out there, ‘RayPaganJR‘ asked me to host these shots for him over on AVS and it was just too pretty of a setup not to share with all of you… notice the THX-ceritifed power amp, combined with the Samsung BluRay player and some hugely complex tuner… it [...]

28. September 2006
Caution: Venting ahead… I’ve been eBaying on and off for about 10 years, and as I’ve gotten older and grumpier I’ve noticed more things about more pieces of software and hardware pertaining to usability that have gone from not noticing them, to absolute rage-induced comas brought on by the stupidity required for such design decisions to [...]

26. September 2006
Jason Clinton put together a pretty insightful writeup about some factoids (from IRC groups, issue trackers and rumors around the water cooler) that point at Novell’s Evolution and KDE’s KMail applications development almost completely stymied and/or maintained by very small teams. In the case of KMail there are considerably bugs that have been hanging around [...]

26. September 2006
Ok so I grabbed the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic demo off of Steam and tried it out and here’s my verdict: awesome. You can check out GameSpot for some more information and screenshots on it (check out the movies). To be honest when I saw the movies I didn’t think much of it, [...]
