Picard himself, Patrick Stewart, plus his son Daniel Stewart who was in a couple episode of <i>Star Trek: The Next Generation</i>. The con took place on August 11-14 2011. The panel I saw was on Saturday 13, 2011, and was hosted by Chris Hartwick from G4.</p><p>I took a couple videos of Stewart from his panel because I believe Patrick Stewart can say it better than I can.</p><p>In the first video (below) he talks about an incident in which he was doing a scene with an alien ambassador with an incredibly long speech, so long in fact that it put Patrick to sleep right in the middle of the scene.</p><p>The second video talks about other cast members who couldn’t stay awake during their scenes, a <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjNKyoRudOQ" title="Picard singing" target="external">video</a> that never should have happened and he talks a bit about how he got the gig of Captain Picard. We also here a bit from his son about what it was like working on a couple episodes with the wonderful cast.</p><div

Nintendo is focusing quite a bit on the music of <i>Zelda</i>, in fact, offering the <i>Ocarina of Time 3D</i> soundtrack to the first people who register their copy of the game as well as an accompanying CD to the upcoming concert tours.</p><p>I&#8217;ll talk about the tour in a moment. First, with apologies for missing the start, here&#8217;s <a
href="http://www.gamertell.com/gaming/comment/live-blog-nintendos-e3-2011-press-conference/" target="external" title="">how Nintendo kicked off their E3 2011 press conference</a>:</p><div

width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JyEV_lx_Rso?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p></p><p>This gives you chills, right? How can you have followed the evolution of this music and not get goosebumps when you hear it played to its full majesty like this?</p><p>This is why I&#8217;m greatly looking forward to the upcoming Legend of Zelda Symphony Tour that Nintendo announced at the press conference. They were vague on the venues and timeline, stating only that it would happen later this year and would play various cities across the world. But if it comes to your area, it likely will be something you don&#8217;t want to miss, whether you&#8217;re a fan of the games or of symphonic music (or both, like me).</p><p>We&#8217;ll have more details on the Legend of Zelda Symphony as they&#8217;re announced.</p><p>Site [<a

Kirk Hiner and I both kept up with each announcement, from the Wii U reveal, to the <i>Legend of Zelda</i> 25th Anniversary and 3DS game announcements.</p><p>In case you missed the conference, here&#8217;s a brief look at some of the biggest news that came Nintendo on June 7, 2011.</p><ul><li>The Wii successor is called Wii U. Yes, it&#8217;s actually Wii U. It will be released in 2012.</li><li>The Wii U controller will have 6.2&#8243; touch screen in the center. There will be two circle pad analog sticks in the upper right and left corner. A camera is above the touch screen, facing the player. A microphone is below the touch screen. There will be two speakers built into it. A standard D-pad will be on the left below the circle pad, and X, Y, A and B buttons will be on the right below the other circle pad. There will be L, R, ZL and ZR buttons on the back of the controller. Rumble features, a gyroscope and an accelerometer will be built into the controller.</li><li>The Wii U will let you play a game with both screens or, if someone comes in and wants to use the TV, you can switch and play the game on the screen on the controller. It will be an HD screen and HD system.</li><li>A few Wii U games were hinted at. It looks like it will get a <i>Legend of Zelda</i>. It will definitely get <i>Smash Bros</i>. <i>Darksiders II</i> will be a launch title. <i>The Lego City Stories</i>, <i>Assassin&#8217;s Creed</i>, <i>Batman: Arkham City</i>, <i>Tekken</i>, <i>Tom Clancy&#8217;s Ghost Recon Online</i>, <i>Dirt</i>, <i>Aliens: Colonial Marines</i>, <i>Metro: Last Light</i> and <i>Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor&#8217;s Edge</i> are all coming to the Wii U as well.</li><li><i>The Lego City Stories</i> and <i>Smash Bros</i> are also coming to the 3DS.</li><li>5 new first party 3DS games are on the way &#8211; <i>Luigi&#8217;s Mansion 2</i>, <i>Kid Icarus: Uprising</i>, <i>Super Mario 3D</i>, <i>Star Fox 64 3D</i> and <i>Mario Kart 3DS</i>. All except <i>Luigi&#8217;s Mansion 2</i> were given 2011 release windows.</li><li>Club Nintendo members who buy and register <i>Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D</i> will get a free soundtrack.</li><li><i>The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords</i> will be released as a free DSiWare download.</li><li>A <i>Legend of Zelda</i> 25th Anniversary Symphony Concert tour will be held worldwide in 2011.</li><li><i>The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword</i> will be out in Q4 2011. A gold Wii remote will be released at the same time.</li><li><i>The Legend of Zelda: Link&#8217;s Awakening</i> will be added to the 3DS eShop later today.</li></ul><p>At the last moment at the press conference, Nintendo had the screens show the image above with all the different game logos for forthcoming titles. There are a lot there and some were hard to see, but a few surprised popped up. <i>Kirby Wii</i>, <i>Rhythm Heaven</i>, <i>Dragon Quest Monsters 2</i>, <i>Paper Mario</i> and <i>Mario Party 9</i> logos all showed up, so it looks like we&#8217;ll be seeing those games on the Wii, DS and 3DS in 2011 and 2012.</p><p>Read [<a

Claiming that 67% of the world has, as Geise put it, "concluded that you need" cell phones and other portable devices, the company is focusing a lot on iPhone and iPad docks. They also have some portable Blu-ray players, an Android-based device for your car and - get this - personal hearing assistants.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div

Ranging from a $15 digital alarm clock with USB ports to $130 iPad dock with motorized rotation. Most of the products are coming out April, March and May 2011.</p><div

Citing $2000 to $4000 hearing devices and the continued loss of hearing across all age groups, Audiovox is releasing two PSAs. Promising less loss, digital clarity and rechargeable batteries these will be sold in retail stores (and targeting surprisingly younger people).</p><p>The first is by RCA called the Symphonic and will be available April 2011 for $300. The second is by Acoustic Research and will be available May 2011 for $349.</p><p>There were also a bunch of portable Blu-ray players and configurations. One will utilize a mounting system that attaches to a standard headrest instead of requiring  straps. They are also releasing a rotating player that will display in any direction.</p><div

That does mean, of course, that you can watch movies and play Android games.</p><p>The company is also pushing digital TV products including a couple small screen display devices. That will mean that local stations will need to buy the broadcasting equipment. It was promised to work at speeds of 100 mph.</p><p>There is also a line of auto safety devices including a rear camera system that combines GPS, radio and a single camera instead of four sensors. And, yes, an SD slot.</p><p>There is also a forward camera setup system that live detects the road and other vehicles to warn the driver when they cross the line or when there is the possibility of a collision. That will be $600 fully installed.</p><p>Site [<a

Those will be available January 30, 2011. The price is a whopping $229 for the full kit and $150 for glasses alone.</p><p>Also being promoted were more emphasis on audio (including a concert by Earth Wind and Fire that they are also filming in 3D).</p><p>They also have a new high-def set of headphones coming out, HDHS debuting with the Tron design.

src="http://admintell.napco.com/ee/images/uploads/gamertell/playstation-home-avatars_thumb.jpg" title="" alt="New updates will improve Home experience this September" width="300" height="198" align="right" />Recently announced during Gamescon 2009 in Cologne, Germany, and confirmed on the Sony PlayStation blogs, Sony Home will have a major overhaul with the release of version 1.3 in September 2009 with tons of updates and much welcomed additions to make the experience more fun.</p><h3>Sony PlayStation Home v1.3</h3><h4>Launching Simplified</h4><p>According to the recent blog post, players will find they will be able to launch into any PS3 games that support launching like <i>Street Fighter IV </i>and <i>MotorStorm: Pacific Rift</i> without having to leave Home to start the game. An icon will appear above the player&#8217;s avatar to allow friends to join the game as long as it supports multi-player functions. This will be made easy to set up just by loading the disc into the system while logged into Home and following the directions to get started.</p><h4>Photo Opportunities</h4><p>Another new feature, everyone in the community has been begging for in the forums, is the new camera function. When the update takes place in September players will be able to take photos of their favorite areas or pose with friends for a picture they can hang in the personal spaces. The photos can be taken in first person or third person view to make the photos more personal with a few new poses or action emotes to choose from to make the photo interesting. All images will automatically be saved onto your PS3&#8242;s XMB.</p><h4>Improved Experiences on Home</h4><p>To improve the Home experience there will be a few new portable items much like the irritating bubble machines we find everywhere. But this time, players will now have the option to block another player&#8217;s portable items from their screen to avoid the annoyance. Speaking of irritating players you may run into, this same function will also allow players to remove the offending player from their sight by simply blocking the player. So that you can not only mute what they are typing, you don&#8217;t even have to look at them, they will be gone completely from your area. Can we say Hallelujah?</p><h4>A Shop-aholic&#8217;s Dream Come True</h4><p>For those of you who like to shop as much as I do, a new function will be added to the shopping mall that will allow players to try the clothing items on their avatar before making a purchase to avoid downloading an item that will sit in the inventory never to be worn again &#8230; ever. Or even preview how the furniture will look in personal spaces before the final purchase. Because once the item is downloaded all sales are final. But luckily players can always suggest adding that function in the PlayStation blogs where Sony they encourage players to post ideas and suggestions so they can improve the gaming experience everyone wants.</p><h3>New Spaces Coming Soon</h3><h4><i>SingStar</i> and Audi Space</h4><p>Once the new version has been released a new space will open for all <i>SingStar</i> fans. This club-style space will feature a dance floor, video jukebox and a <i>SingStar</i> Music Quiz mini-game.</p><p>No further information about the Audi space is available as it was just announced, but you can check out the video below for a glimpse of the <i>SingStar</i> space and a glimpse of all the additional features mentioned and more coming to the Sony Home in September:</p><div
