Techy ChickWho Says Women Don’t Know Tech Stuff

Nintendo DSi, which will be available April 5, will come with two cameras, one on the inside and one on the outside. We don’t want to sound paranoid, but the way that silent, unblinking lens on the outside stares at us is reminiscent of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. And since we’re eight years removed from 2001, there’s no telling what this technological marvel is capable of. Actually, putting our distrust aside, we do know that these lenses make the DSi capable of taking pictures to share with family and friends as well as opening up a world of possibilities for developers to come up with creative ways for players to interact with their games. It’s almost like the DSi has been given the ability to see, and that’s what scares us about it. We’re sure one day we’ll say, “I’d like to play a game now,” and the DSi will reply, “I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.” But until that fateful day when gaming handhelds become self-aware and attempt to take over the world, we can enjoy the fun stuff these gadgets can do. For example, The DSi promises the ability to save sounds and music on an SD card and interact with it while you play it, changing the tempo or pitch, altering voices and more. The SD card compatibility will also open the door for a variety of downloads and applications. As scared as we are of the DSi’s new powers, we’re sure we’ll end up with one, anyway. You should reserve one, too.  I know for sure.. that a friend who has  Mesothelioma would love and enjoy one of this as well.
