There's something truly refreshing about 8-bit artistry. It really does harken back to a time when video game artists were able to create some pretty damn amazing stuff when faced with some very real barriers.
More than a decade ago, long before your fancy 32-bit color palette, computers could only display 256 colors at a time and techniques like color cycling were employed to provide an optical illusion that made rivers appear to be moving and flames appear to flicker.
This effect has now been captured in it's purest form, and direct-to-browser (with one notable exception) via HTML 5. It's a bit of graphic artistry that Sierra On-Line and Lucas Arts would have be proud to call their own.. enjoy!

]]>Even wonder what a lightning strike looks like in slo-mo? This is some great footage of a strike captured at a high frame rate.. Looks amazing.
Wondering just how well your browser stacks up when it comes to HTML5 compatibility? We were, so we took a number of devices (both desktop and mobile) and sent them off to html5test.com to see how they performed.
Full disclosure; I realize that we really didn't give IE a fair shake here.. IE9 is about to be launched and should firm up the numbers and we didn't have a copy of the beta - though we've not heard great things.
Also the Blackberry score is from Blackberry 6 (not released yet) so take it with a massive grain of salt.

Here's a great mashup of all your favorite 8-bit video game baddies (plus a little bonus Portal thrown in for good measure) and some extreme sports.
Apple's iPhone 4 was just dealt a fairly significant blow, from a PR perspective anyway, as it's iPhone 4 can't be recommended by the leading consumer advice group. Consumer Reports does rate the other (read: non-phone) aspects of the device higher than any of its competitors, but was able to replicate the pesky antenna issue and thus directs users to the outdated iPhone 3GS if they want to make calls in an area of questionable AT&T coverage and don't wish to employ a bumper case of stick a bit of tape on the side.
As just about everyone knows, Apple is working on a software patch which will help the iPhone to correctly display signal bars but hasn't confirmed the antenna issue as a hardware design flaw.
Just when you thought Blackberry, with it's meager first place 41.7% market share, may have taken a back seat to iPhone and Android, they've released a new UI concept video. It's looking good, but is it really playing in the same league as Android, Palm and iOS?
In the future self-transforming objects will become common place.. right along side our flying cars and personal jet packs. This concept is a pretty cool one as the video shows and it could lead to things like configurable household objects.
"The goal is to make sheets that could fold into multiple items, like a dining utensil set or a "Swiss Army Knife" tool kit."
Nothing exploits the multi-touch interface better than a great point and click adventure. Thankfully LucasArts has taken it upon themselves to regard Apple's iDevices as a tier 1 platform, launching the re-worked Monkey Island classic alongside Xbox and Playstation offerings.

After only a few weeks, Microsoft has decided to lay it's KIN project to rest. It's not completely official yet of course.. Verizon still has product to move. Here's the closest thing to official word on the subject;
"We have made the decision to focus exclusively on Windows Phone 7 and we will not ship KIN in Europe this fall as planned. Additionally, we are integrating our KIN team with the Windows Phone 7 team, incorporating valuable ideas and technologies from KIN into future Windows Phone releases. We will continue to work with Verizon in the U.S. to sell current KIN phones."
