Sony delays PS3 ‘Home’ virtual world until Spring 2008

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [2]

Despite an attempt at slight of hand - unveiling the upgraded Dual Shock 3 controller for the PS3 - Sony couldn't quite bury the unfortunate news that the launch of their planned 'Second Life' rival, 'Home', originally slated for the end of this year, has been delayed until Spring 2008.  In a contrite and apologetic speech, Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai blamed the company's perfectionism for the hold-up:

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

If you're driving yourself crazy counting down the hours until T-Mobile release the next-gen Sidekicks, then maybe you could do with the almighty distraction (and hunting ground for emo kids, new bands and any sexual predators that have managed to escape the regular security sweeps) of MySpace.  Now that Helio no longer have the exclusive contract for the ridiculously popular social networking site on mobile handsets, apps have been springing up all over; T-Mobile may have taken a little longer than some rivals, but their implementation looks to be a good one.   Read The Full Story

My plans for a luxury lifestyle are constantly scuppered by not having more than a few pennies to my name, so I'm forced to admire stunning pieces of modern design through the shop windows (before I'm moved on by the police) rather than in the comfort of my own home.  That's why it's so good to see a DIY version of furnishings store Habitat's Daft Punk-designed LED disco table.  For around €325 the writer of this Instructable put together his own mini dancefloor (though you probably wouldn't be safe to clamber up on it) which looks, to my greedy eye, a pretty good facsimile of the original. Check out the video of the table in action, after the cut... Read The Full Story

, Sep 20th 2007 Discuss [6]

If you're waiting on the new Sidekick LX to hit stores, you'll be happy to see the blurry snapshot below. You've got just over a month to wait. According to this blurry card, you'll be able to find the new LX in stores on October 24.

If you want to re-live the excitement with your 360, you're in luck. Thanks to that crafty modder Ben Heck, you can use that old mammoth-sized controller with your 360. Read The Full Story
