How many of us out there miss the original NES system… You can put your hands down, it was a rhetorical question. For many of us the original game systems (NES, Atari, Intellivision) take us back to a more innocent time when the world seemed a less scary place.

Of course, new technology reminds us of where we can go, and the potential for innovation that we have.. Even, the most minor of devices, can be sleek and cool …

So what happens when old meets new? Awesomeness is created … for instance, when you combine an NES controller and an Apple remote, you get something like this video :

It is a unique, and cool way to bring a bit of retro to your styling MacBook.  Want to make one of your own?

After months and months of rumor, speculation, and rampant guessing, we finally have a launch date for the 3g iPhone.

Gizmodo, and others, are reporting that a June 9th launch date has been confirmed.  The new device will be announced at the keynote address at WWDC 2008 in San Francisco.  It will also be made available worldwide immediately following the launch, rather then at the end of the year, as was previously assumed.

There is speculation now, that the 3G iPhone will no longer have a fixed price point, at least in some countries, and that there will be new policies surrounding the sale of the iPhone.  Some countries will get variable pricing on new iPhones based on enticements to switch carriers. There’s no word on which countries will be subject to this pricing structure.
