Today, It's All About Gadgets, New and Old
Gadgets, they're everywhere...beeping, ringing, buzzing, vibrating, working behind the scenes in computers and cell phones and handheld everythings. And as today's No. 5 top blog post from Fosfor Gadgets points out, lots of them used to be a lot BIGGER than they are now. "Makes you feel like you're living the future already to compare them," says the Age of Aquariums LiveJournaler, to which I can only respond (having lived through all of them!), you're right. It IS the future. Appreciate it now, because it used to be a lot heavier AND slower. And baking a potato in the pre-microwave-everywhere 1970s used to take an hour. Honest.
E3 Gadgets
Gadgets are also generating buzz at the E3 show, as evidenced by today's key phrases, which include references to the new Sony PlayStation 3controller, new video games being introduced. The E3 event also has its share of live bloggers, including minute-by-minute updates from Engadget and Joystiq. Gamespot has more info about the PS3 and Microsoft has more info about XBox 360. Which of the three leading game platforms - Nintendo, Microsoft Xbox or Sony PlayStation - leads in buzz?
Miscellany
Meanwhile, today's top links and blog posts feature news from Appleinsider of possible delays for new Macbook notebooks, sneak peaks of Windows live (it's in beta), and TechCrunch news of AOL's AIM Pages, billed as the MySpace.com competitor.
