Ouya working with Monkey Island and Words with Friends creators, The Cave heading to Ouya
Author: Tiffany Shoman
OUYA CEO Julie Uhrman took to the stage at DICE 2013 today to reveal two new partnerships, one with Monkey Island creator Tim Schafer’s studio Double Fine Productions, and the other with Words with Friends creator Paul Bettner. So far, that means both Double Fine’s Reds and The Cave are headed to OUYA, while Bettner’s Verse studio only announced it was working on two unannounced titles. “I believe we’re about to see another disruption even bigger than this last,” Bettner said, referring to his previous work in the mobile game space. “Gamers want the App Store in their living room. OUYA will be the first to deliver it,” he said.
The OUYA arrives in March for Kickstarter backers, and in April for the rest of the world (even later for retail). It’s unclear exactly when Schafer and Bettner’s games will arrive on the Android-powered console, but we’d expect The Cave to be there sooner than later (it’s already available on other platforms).

Oxford English Dictionary editor intentionally deleted thousands of words in the ’70s and ’80s
Author:
In the 128 years because the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was published, one of its biggest guiding principles has actually been that no word should ever be removed, discussing why the full dictionary spans twenty volumes and weighs over 140 pounds. Its editors think that someone today selecting up a book from the 1920s should still have the ability to look up rare terms even if they & rsquo; re not in typical usage. Well, The Guardian reports that a solitary contrarian editor named Robert Burchfield (the same man that added swearwords) single-handedly gotten rid of words by the thousands throughout the 1970s and ’80s– a claim set out in a new book called Words of the World by former OED editor Sarah Ogilvie.
Ogilvie found that …

No Comments »Shatoetry iPhone app lets you put… words… in… William Shatner’s… mouth
Author: Brian McKinnell
William Shatner and modern technology go way back, but it’s taken him until today to get his very own smartphone app. Then again, he is a guy understood to take long pauses. Called Shatoetry, the brand-new app (iPhone-only, for the moment) lets you string together a variety of pre-recorded words– each with 3 different versions– and have the resulting “Shatism” reviewed aloud by Shatner himself. You’re then able to deliver the message to your pals with all the usual means, or even benefit from a co-op mode that lets you work together on a phrase. Of course, talked word Shatner on-demand does not come free of charge– the application will certainly set you back $ 2.99.

No Comments »Steve Jobs in his own words
Author: Conrad Thomas
I’ll always stay connected with Apple. I hope that throughout my life I’ll sort of have the thread of my life and the thread of Apple weave in and out of each other, like a tapestry. There may be a few years when I’m not there, but I’ll always come back
– Steve Jobs, 1985
That’s a quote from a Playboy interview Steve Jobs gave back in 1985. February of 1985, to be specific, right before Steve would be ousted from the company that he co-founded with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in 1976. Apple of course famously grew out of a garage, the brains of Woz, the drive of Jobs building the company over the next nine years into a powerhouse in the burgeoning home computer market.
Join us for a look back at the life of Steve Jobs.

Princeton neuroscientists map your brain, play words with subjects
Author:
Don’t speak. Princeton researchers know just what you’re saying — kind of. Alright, so the Ivy league team of neuroscientists, led by Prof. Matthew Botvinick, can’t yet read your minds without the help of a functional MRI, but one day the group hopes to take your silent pauses and broadcast them for public consumption. By mapping highlighted areas of brain activity to words meditated upon by subjects, the group was able to create “semantic threads” based on “emotions, plans or socially oriented thoughts” associated with select neural activity. So, what good’ll these high-brow word association experiments do for us? For one, it could pave the way for automatic translation machines, extending a silicon-assisted grok into our nonverbal inner worlds that churns out computer-generated chatter; giving a voice to those incapable of speech. And if it’s used for bad? More terrifically horrific psychobabble poetry penned by Jewel’s unencumbered mind. Actually, wait. We might be into that.
