MAKE: Blog: PSP Lunchbox
Hey my lunchbox is on Make : Blog.

There is a new version of NeoOffice for Mac OSX out. This new 2.0 Beta 3 is sporting a new Mac OS X native Aqua interface and is simply put the best looking Office suite on Mac now and it is completely free to boot. I am sorry but Microsoft has a long way to go to convince me to buy their Office suite for Mac when NeoOffice and OpenOffice.org is kicking so much butt.

Olive High-top Sneaker: nosweatapparel
I love my new pair of No Sweat Sneakers. They were made in Indonesia by a union shop where workers made a living wage with healthcare and vacations. That is much better than the works at Nike plants. All that and they are way more sturdy than the Nike owned Converse All-Stars.

The Xbox 360 VGA cable has width issues (Xbox 360 annoyance #016) – Joystiq
I am glad to read this actually. When I play Xbox one games on my 360 using my VGA cable at 1024x768 or 800x600 the image is a bit distorted and all the characters have oval shaped heads. I am this close to giving up playing Xbox one games on the 360. It looks OK at 640X480 but then what is the point of playing Xbox one games on the 360 then?

Treehugger: Green Electronics Guide From Greenpeace
Apple has some recycling programs to step up and promote better.

4 color rebellion » Confessions of a Rebel: Hype 101
When considering the PS3 you should go read the old hype about the PS2.
“You can communicate to a new cybercity,’ gushes Ken Kutaragi, the visionary behind the PlayStation. ‘This will be the ideal home server. Did you see the movie The Matrix? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into The Matrix!’”
How many people think that the PS2 was just like living in "The Matrix"?

British Gaming Blog » DS @ PAX: Elite Beat Agents
There was more shots of Elite Beat Agents shown at PAX. It looks like a semi-sequal to Oendan rather than a port.
