Nanocade turns your netbook into a lap-friendly arcade cabinet

We'd all like our own personal arcade like Flynn's, but sadly personal finances and a lack of square footage can make that a challenge. The Nanocade is much more affordable and, conveniently, much smaller too. It's a kit from designer Rasmus Sorensen that enables you to turn a netbook or mini-ITX motherboard and 10.1-inch display into a wee MAME cabinet. If you have such a donor machine when this kit starts shipping in March all you'll need is a little adhesive and technical know-how to make your own. Oh, and $349 plus shipping.

BBM 6 to add social gaming, SDK access coming

BlackBerry Messenger is one of the cornerstones of RIM's mobile platform, and it may be getting a major overhaul in version 6. According to leaked information, BBM6 will feature social gaming integration -- including achievements and in-game chat. It sounds a bit like Xbox LIVE-meets-Blackberry, with your BBM name appearing as your 'GamerTag'. A BBM SDK is apparently also in the works. While we hope that might enable someone to finally build BBM capabilities into a desktop app, we're not going to hold our breath.

BBM 6 will likely only be available to devices running OS 5 or newer, at least in the beginning -- we'll have to wait and see if RIM releases a version for older BlackBerry models.

This Is the Saddest Book I Can Imagine [Food]

Why, Ms. Allison, why? If you want single people living alone to cook at home, at least promote gas, not a bloody microwave. Using a microwave for cooking will condemn them to be forever alone. [Thanks Karl!] More »

Facebook Has Been Refining Their Troll-Slaying Comment System For Months; Finally Ready To Roll?

Back in October of last year, news started to trickle out that Facebook was completely revamping their commenting system plugin. The very thought had to send a chill down the spine of commenting startups like Disqus, Echo, and Livefyre. In a statement to us at the time, Facebook confirmed the upgrades, and vaguely said, "we'll have more to share in the coming weeks." Well, weeks turned to months ? nothing. But that may be about to change. Facebook is on the verge of launching a full commenting system for third-party sites, CNET's Caroline McCarthy reports today. She cites multiple sources who claim the product should be ready to roll out in a matter of weeks. And apparently it could be implemented at launch on a number of high-profile sites (no, not us ? unless AOL has us totally out of the loop on this one).

Kongregate Arcade returns to the Android Market with some minor changes

After being removed from the Android Market for breaking the rules, the Kongregate Arcade app is back! Yet again can you enjoy easy access to the best source of Flash games on the Web.

Kongregate Arcade was originally pulled because it itself acted as a marketplace for apps -- or at least, it appeared to. In actual fact, the app was just a portal to all of the Flash games on the Kongregate site. The original app hid the browser's address bar (why is this possible?), which made it look like everything was occurring in-app.

The changes to the app make it more obvious that the app simply links to Web pages with Flash games, rather than appearing to play games from within the app. The Arcade will now also use the browser's cache to store temporary Flash files, rather than "explicitly downloading and managing games on the SD card."

A QR code to install the app is after the break.

These Photo Wizards Turned Still Images into Video [Video]

It's easy to turn video into stills—but going the other way around? Pretty impressive. A clever photog did just that—using savvy some some computer tricks. The soaring nature fly-bys are damn impressive (and wholly beautiful). And fake. More »

CE-Oh no he didn't!: Netgear boss calls 'game over' for Microsoft, Jobs' 'ego' reason iPhone doesn't support Flash

Can't say that Patrick Lo is a name that immediately rang any bells around here. He's certainly not as recognizable as Netgear, the company that he chairs and rules supreme. But boy did he hit our radar screens this morning. Lo had plenty of criticism to spread around the Microsoft and Apple camps today during a press lunch in Sydney. Oh where to even begin? Let's start with Microsoft, and Lo's claim that, "Microsoft is over -- game over, from my point of view," when comparing Windows Phone 7's chance to compete with Android and the iPhone. Doubtful, not with Redmond's Windows 7 and MS Office cash cows fueling Microsoft's intense desire to execute on its new mobile strategy.

Lo then turned his sights on Apple, having this to say on the topic of Steve Jobs' refusal to support Adobe Flash on Apple's mobile devices: "What's the reason for him to trash Flash? There's no reason other than ego." Funny, we thought it was due to performance, security, and power consumption issues. Lo later added, "Once Steve Jobs goes away, which is probably not far away, then Apple will have to make a strategic decision on whether to open up the platform." Classy. Hit the source link below if you're just dying to hear how "closed" systems are inferior to "open" systems all over again.
