Xbox Live Fall Update Coming Monday, November 1st [Microsoft Announces Xbox Live Fall Update Will Be Available November 1st, Four Days Before Kinect…
I have a spotted past with Xbox Dashboard Updates, even though there’s only been one so far. Back when Microsoft introduced the New Xbox Experience, I complained very loudly about it because I liked the way my Dashboard was, and I hated the idea of goofy looking avatars getting in the way of my Xbox. As far as this upcoming update is concerned though, I just want it to get here, and it looks like I won’t have to wait long.

Jonathan Guberman of Toronto’s Site 3 coLaboratory hackerspace wrote in to share his Automatypewriter project: Introducing the Automatypewriter, a new way to experience interactive fiction! It’s still a little rough around the edges (in particular, you can see that the spacebar sticks a little, and the whole thing needs to be tidied up), but you get the idea: the Automatypewriter is a typewriter that can type on its own, as well as detect what you type on it. By reading what it types to you and responding, it can be used interactively to play a game or participate in a story (in this case, Zork). See the project page for technical details.

Nintendo & Smartphone Market Not Happening, 3DS Main Concern [Nintendo Says 3DS On Their Mind, Smartphone Market Not So Much]
Reggie Fils-Aime is pretty confident about that. Why, you would ask, for a company that got its start in playing cards and experimented with a taxi business, a love hotel chain (exactly what it sounds like), a TV network, food production (yes, Nintendo sold instant rice) over its long and storied two century plus history, are smartphones such a problem since they already have manufacturing capabilities, and all the other kids are doing it ? Reggie doesn’t say, but he makes it clear whatever Nintendo gets into, it’s going in games-first: “certainly we are adding more and more elements to fill out the experience and take away more and more time from competing devices. But our handhelds will always lead with games.” He also went on to say “3DS content will be dramatically unique to our platform, because I don’t think a smartphone manufacturer will invest to put a 3-D parallax screen in their device and not have the content to bring it to life.” Man, Nintendo is so lucky Barney Stinson doesn’t work for Sony
