Like some other current-gen fighting games, Capcom's Street Fighter IV will be receiving premium downloadable content. As revealed by Japanese magazine Famitsu (via IGN), the latest in the SF series will witness weekly updates of additional costume packs, starting on and following after the Japanese launch date of February 12.
There are five costume packs (priced at ¥400 or 320 each) in total, with each one containing alternate costumes for five different combatants. If you do the math, that makes one extra wardrobe change for each character on the 25-fighter roster. However, it might be more worthwhile for clothing-crazed fans to wait until after all packs are released before grabbing things off the racks. Why? Because Capcom has plans of a "combo pack" enclosing all that content at a discount (¥1,200 or 1,000) sometime after everything is made available. Call it an out-of-fashion clearance sale.
Not everything needs to be paid for, however, as Street Fighter IV will also have a free Championship Mode update offering tournament-style network play. High-ranking players will have their replay data uploaded online for the public to watch and study. Though all of this currently pertains only to the Japanese version, it's likely safe to assume that Capcom will make similar announcements for worldwide releases very soon – especially with the launch so near.

We love alternative inputs. They can revitalize an old classic or add a twist to most any mundane task. Here, we see a perfect example where the game Punch Out for the NES is being controlled by a punching bag type thing. The impact sensors were made by hand, and wired to a PC game pad. They were mounted on some foam, allowing for a nice mushy punching surface. There’s some feedback too, when your character is hit, a custom script detects the change in the sprites color and sends a signal to an Arduino. Right now, it just lights an LED, but the goal is to signal a strobe to make you flinch. This looks like it would be fun to play with, especially if you were to make it a little more high impact. You can see a video of them lightly assaulting it after the break.

[Raphael] sent us this nice kick pedal mod for Guitar Hero: World Tour. After breaking his kick pedal repeatedly, he decided to build something a bit more robust. He went to the music store intending to pick up a cheap kick pedal to start with and happened to start a conversation with an employee who had a practice pad to get rid of. [Raphael] relieved him of his practice pad and promptly made a base to hold it in position. After attaching his piezo sensor to the back of it, he had a very robust kick pedal. we can’t imagine him breaking this one any time soon.

This morning Google announced that it has new software that will let mobile phone users share their whereabouts with family or friends, and that it will be on the iPhone soon.
It's being called Google Latitude and the technology is a new feature of Google Maps. The software is for mobile devices and it comes with an iGoogle gadget that can be installed on your computer.
Google says:
"Once you've opted in to Latitude, you can see the approximate location of your friends and loved ones who have decided to share their location with you, So now you can do things like see if your spouse is stuck in traffic on the way home from work, notice that a buddy is in town for the weekend, or take comfort in knowing that a loved one's flight landed safely, despite bad weather."
However, even Google acknowledges that this software could be used for stalker-ish purposes but says they have built in "fine-grained privacy

There are rumors circulating that the new version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard has been seeded to some of the top developers for beta testing. The latest build is said to be 10A261. The prior version of Snow Leopard delivered to developers was in December (build 10A222).
According to Macity, the latest version does not seem to contain anything different but does seem to be more stable. They report:
"The interface has not been revised and currently there are only small changes in System Preferences, have been resolved a few bugs in the Finder and little else. According to the sources of Macity the impression is that this release is more reliable than those previously distributed."
Apple has said that they intend to focus on quality and performance in Snow Leopard and there have been rumors for some time saying that Apple has been tweaking the OS to achieve this. Apple has also made it clear that the OS will give exceptional support for multi-core
