Biography


      Chris Cardinal is an avid writer both for personal projects and Gear Live, in addition to freelancing. After spending six months at Gizmodo, he took off to continue building his web application business, Synapse Studios, and is currently working towards a further expansion of his business.

He is also an avid traveler and enjoys playing the drums. He has a dry sense of humor that allows him to write in the third person without reproach, and a sarcastic, rapier wit that only occasionally gets him slapped.

  • Software is really not the focus of CES. Microsoft has to push Vista because of how tightly it integrates with all the major hardware vendors and simply because it's what they do. There were a *few* web/software companies (eBay, Google and some antivirus stuff, etc.), but no open source applications that I can even think of, if for no other reason than because of how expensive exhibiting at CES is.

  • I'm sure they have some of the same features, but no mini-micro stereos I'm aware of have 7 days of alarms, which is the primary feature this clock offers. Further, sound quality is much of a concern to whom in the earliest waking hours? Also, most stereos are, well, stereos. You don't want them on your bedside and they tend to cost more than $35.

  • Yeah, I was pretty upset as well. And I lost my BOC as well to server problems.

  • Yes... And perhaps TiVo will sue them. And I think RCA came up with the first TV remote controller, so THEY might jump on that boat as well. Just because they used a similar form-factor as a remote control doesn't mean they "stole" a concept from Phillips- let alone an awful, non-interactive, lackluster and difficult to use design that failed miserably. I don't recall the CD-i having motion sensing, screen-distance sensing and light gun capabilities, nor the ability to daisy chain it with an analog stick. But, you know, correct me if I'm wrong. I never owned a CD-i.

  • I have to say, at first glance, this is a worrisome little gem. But, Nintendo being Nintendo, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and researched the unit more. I have to say that I'm impressed with their completely unique implementation and their incredible foresight in making the Revolution backwards-compatible with existing GameCube controllers. I think this is the type of thing I absolutely cannot form any concrete opinions around until I get my hands on one, but I'm intrigued and I'm a Nintendo fanboy at heart, so I'm eager to try it. Let me say this just once: Graphics are nice and all, but stellar, blow-you-away, make-you-come-screaming-back-for-more gameplay is incredibly important, and Nintendo always has an amazing knack at landing just that. They manage to redefine gaming at so many points, and it's refreshing to see something other than a simple hardware & specs contest. Who cares how many polygons your system pumps out if the game play is the same that it always has been, and you can predict every element of what's next. Give me a brand new experience over a new setting with new visual flares anyday. I can't wait.

  • Jesse, let's be honest: We were lucky if the others in the Media Room had showered that week, let alone gotten haircuts. Yeah, I remember you. You guys sat next to me a bunch of times. I think you had a crush on me, but were just too nervous to say anything. Or you wanted on Gizmodo more. I couldn't tell which, but it's very flattering. :-)
