Not only is neotaku.com very surf-able on the iPhone and iPod Touch, if you bookmark it and add it to your home screen, I've created a custom graphic that makes a nice icon for your device. Neat, huh? Hit the jump if you wanna know how to do it for your site.
The simple process:
1. Create a 57x57 document in photoshop.
2. Add your image/graphics/etc. Keep it simple.
3. Don't try to simulate the button look, the device will do that automagically.
4. "Save for Web" in Photoshop and save as a PNG called "apple-touch-icon.png".
5. Upload to the root www or public html folder of your site.
6. Test it out. If you upload another, you'll have to clear your Safari cache and then try bookmarking it again.
Here's what it looks like before the device buttonizes it:

Well, I thought it was cool. :D

"While it is unfortunate that HD DVD was discontinued, there is still enjoyment to be had from your Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. You can take this as an opportunity to build out your movie collection! There are around 500 HD DVD movies to choose from and many at great deals, so there is a fair amount of content for HD DVD on the market. It also is a terrific DVD player and it allows you to have game discs and movie discs, whether HD DVD or DVD, within the console at one time. The HD DVD player also adds two additional USB ports to your console." Said Microsoft Game Studio's Coporate Vice President Shane Kim in an inverview with GameDaily.
Yeah, all right. While I'm sorting my Betamax-Collection, and remove the dust from my 200 Laser-Disc-Collector's-Edtions, I'll do Microsoft a great favour and take all the HD-DVD's from the shelves, because I'm sure... they will be worth a lot - in a very close Future, probably tomorrow.
But seriously, who am I kidding? We all got Mr Kim's message: The XBOX 360 needs two disc-drives, because he's too lazy to put the disc back in its box. Or maybe, in his next statement he claims that the future is downloadable content.. No changing disc any more! And HD.. and not HD in the box, at once. Wow, inventions.
Just saw this on BoingBoing and thought it was cool. Apparently a storm rolled in and it's braking system failed. Ouch. Enjoy the carnage.

The Japanese electronics Company Toshiba called the quits and retired from the format war. Sony and their Blu-Ray-Discs seized the crown of the next generation's disc-format. Even Microsoft, who where standing behind the HD-DVD-format, now might consider using the Blu-Rays for their XBOX-gaming-system. A bitter pill for customers who had bought the external HD-DVD-drive for their XBOX 360. Because most sellers don't take them back. Also a quite harsh decision: Even Toshiba refuses to repay their customers for the loss of their high-def-solution and won't take their stand-alone-HD-DVD-players back. Again waiting seemed to have its benefits.

Got a shit-ton of remotes on your coffee table? Are you the only one that is able to control your sick gaming setup? It's time for a Harmony.
Last weekend I got fed up with my old Xbox360 Harmony remote. It had served me well for about two years but it was on the fritz. It may have something to do with the vodka I spilled on it and my $200 diNovo Edge Keyboard. Yeah, that one hurt.
Anyway, I went to BestBuy and picked up the recently-announced-at-CES Harmony One. A sleek, black, ergonomic remote that has a beautiful color touch screen. It ran about $250, which may seem like a lot for a remote, but in reality a small price to pay to effortlessly command even the most difficult and convoluted setup.
For those of you not familiar with Harmony, here's how it works in a nutshell.
1. Install Harmony software on your PC
2. Hook up remote via USB
3. Tell the software all about your TV, receiver, consoles and cable boxes.
4. Download the config to the remote
5. Presto. Everything is controlled with one button press.
As with all Harmony remotes, there are caveats to consider. If you have obscure equipment or your equipment has some wonky IR commands (like my DLP does) there may be some (read: hours) of fine-tuning you'll have to do. My biggest gripe is that it cannot control Bluetooth™ devices like the PS3 (which is always Folding@home anyway) and the Wii. So I still have to get my lazy ass off of the couch to turn a few of my devices on manually. Someday there will be a Bluetooth™ Harmony... there's got to be... Someday... Also, as with anything black and shiny (like the PS3) touching it while eating Cheetos® is never a good idea, and I'll have to be extra careful with the vodka from now on.
That said, I love my new Harmony One. It turns itself on everytime I pick it up (the motion sensor is awesome) and it's RECHARGEABLE! Yes. No more batteries as it comes with its own shiny charging dock. Highly recommended, you can snag this baby at Amazon by clicking the link above.
