Spore to Ship 'When It's Done' And Not Before 135

Posted by Zonk on Thursday August 02, 2007 @12:54PM from the sometime-before-i-am-fifty-please dept.

Citing the sheer potential of the title, EA executives John Riccitiello and Frank Gibeau stated in a conference call yesterday that Spore will not ship until it is finished. Next Generation reports: "'It's one of those breakthrough products that might come across the industry every three, five, seven years ... We could not be more bullish for the potential of the franchise as we are right now,' said Riccitiello. He said that he still expects the game to ship in the 'March, April, May' 2008 timeframe. However, Riccitiello said, 'We will make the choice of shipping a better game than an on-time game given the high potential for this franchise.'"

Submission + - Interesting mobile touch screen adaption

An anonymous reader writes: A paper was recently published about Shift at the Computer Human Interaction Conference earlier this month. The authors [Daniel Vogel, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Toronto and Patrick Baudisch, a research scientist at Microsoft Research] developed the technology to solve several problems with mobile-phone touch screens, and also created a short video with a demonstration of how Shift works. Shift builds on existing technology already developed and known as Offset Cursor. Offset Cursor displays a cursor just above the spot a user touches on the screen. That allows users to place their finger below the item they wish to choose so that they can see the item, rather than hiding it with their finger.
