The first pictures of the Nokia E90 just hit the 'net and, if you have the patience to look at really blurry shots, you'll find out a few things. If the pics are real (we won't really know until next week's 3GSM conference), we can look forward to a fold out type cellphone, like the Nokia 9500. In addition to the pics, we've got a good idea as to what the specs will be: 3.2-megapixel camera, EDGE, Wi-Fi and HSDPA (woo!). The phone's two screens impress as well, with the external one coming in at 240 x 320 and the internal one at 800 x 352.
Since it's a Nokia, it'll run on Symbian Series 60 and not that fancy Windows Mobile 6 we've all been drooling after for the past few days. The E90 seems decent, but I prefer to see pics that are better than the Zapruder film in quality. – Nicholas Deleon

Taking
Paper Mario to its logical -- albeit extreme -- conclusion, an artist / DIY'er named Keith Lam has created the first physical, playable implementation of
Super Mario Brothers. By emphasizing Mario's movement on the background, and turning the "TV" into the object which moves, the character appears to traverse the familiar landscape of SMB, complete with collision detection, brick movement, and mechanized jumping. The "system" is built using a chain-driven platform, which is shakily directed with an actual NES (well, Famicom) controller, thus allowing for some game play -- though with response times like this, you're better off just watching. Speaking of, check the video after the break and see the system in action.

You know the formula. A pure-hearted beauty falls into the evil grasp of some snarling, spitting, mustache-twirling megalomaniac. A noble hero, driven by honor, courage and - let's face it - hormones, rushes to her aid. A brief kiss ensues and, before you can say sequel, the hapless lady has stumbled into imminent danger all over again. Tale as old as time... classic "damsel in distress."
Except sometimes, the damsel isn't worth the damn trouble. Sometimes you reach the end of your adventure, take one look at your reward and wonder why you went searching for her in the first place. Sometimes you're sick of her before you've even begun.
The following are those times. Take Games Radar's advice, potential knights in shining armor. Don't bother.

Seeing as I take 90% of my the photos my the iPhone, I really like the prospect of printing shots right from the device. And coincidentally, that's just what Air Photo can make happen.
You load the Air Photo Server app onto your Mac or PC and the Air Photo app ($2) on to your iPhone. You can then browse your shots through the program and print anything you'd like with one click. I don't print a lot of shots, but Air Photo is such a good, simple idea that I wish* the iPhone could already do this natively.

Ubisoft have announced that the
bilingual PS3 port of
Enchanted Arms will be released in North America this March. When it landed "exclusively" on the Xbox 360 last year, From Software's first-to-an-empty-market initiative ticked just about every box on the official list of Japanese RPG requirements. Goofy protagonist with a hazy memory and an untapped power?
Check. An ancient evil unleashed within the opening moments of the game, completely wiping out the hero's beloved town?
Check. A surly princess who refuses to act like a princess?
Check. A flamboyantly gay stereotype and an army of sentient pizzas?
Ch -- wait, that doesn't seem to be on here.
If you were one of the few that embraced
Enchanted Arms initially, you'd know that it was a solid, albeit unremarkable, RPG with an enjoyable battle system and varied golem creation (essentially a form of enemy recruitment). The Ubisoft
press release mentions "Sixaxis wireless controller integration" as one of the PS3
enchancements, but it's unclear whether motion sensing is actually used in gameplay. Apparently, you can "use the motion-sensitive controller harness weapons, recover your EX power meter, unlock more powerful attacks and solve puzzles."
We're not convinced that means you'll be doing anything other than pushing buttons
on a motion-sensitive controller, but lack of tilt control isn't a common complaint in the wonderful world of turn-based RPGs.

Dynasty is being developed as a feature film, the creators announced today. Based on the popular soap opera of the 1980's, the focus of a wealthy oil family will be reimagined in a 1960's setting that creators Richard and Esther Shapiro liken to "Mad Men".

This will probably be the last of our "Oscar Worthy" series this season, but it's with Ezra Miller, a young actor who's gotten a lot of attention this past year, as well as an actor whom we've been fully on board the fanclub train for a couple years, ever since seeing him steal scenes from Andy Garcia and Julianna Margulies in Raymond De Felitta's City Island .
The performance that's really gotten people excited about Ezra Miller's potential is his title role in Lynne Ramsay's psychological drama We Need to Talk About Kevin , playing a teenager who has spent years tormenting his mother, played by Tilda Swinton. Things eventually come to a head when he does something unthinkable, and the film takes a non-linear path in showing what led up to that day and how the mother-son relationship is affected afterwards.

While sauntering the internet the other day for work I stumbled upon a marketing company's
website. After clicking on the executive profile page to get a better feel for who was involved, I quickly noticed the use of Mii avatars representing the management team. I've never been one for real-estate-esque mug shots on business sites, so these were somewhat refreshing, especially considering the fact that I'm a gamer. And I bet you they even used Joystiq's snazzy
Mii creator for the goods. Anyone else seen Mii mug shots in the wild?

TechNewsWorld -- By Walaika Haskins, 12/31/07:
Microsoft has warned users of its new Windows Home Server that the device could corrupt data when saving files from certain applications. The results could ruin family photos, small-business records or anything else users save on the system. The problem is the latest of three significant quality-control fumbles Microsoft has committed this year, said analyst Michael Cherry.
The world's tallest elevator testing tower has just opened in Inazawa City, Japan, and is named Solae. Why would you build a tower just to test elevators? Because the world's tallest buildings (including Taipei 101, which I rode in last year) have a need to install elevators that take you from floor 1 to floor "high" really fast. Solae will be used by Mitsubishi to test their latest drives, gears and cables in a controlled environment instead of say, a mall in downtown Tokyo. If Mitsubishi can lift me 100 stories in a minute, they can figure out a way to build a better looking Galant. [
