No comment. Just view that video (wmv - 5.3 MB)
Thanks www.planetvids.com

This is going to happen, full motion ingame advertisement in your average real-time game. This already exists but ads are still static, just like what you see in the streets. Soon, some more enhanced material will be found, offering animation and sound, juste like on TV.

"The introduction of full-motion ads on games gives advertisers more options. Massive's Mr. Davis says Hollywood movie studios have shown particular interest in running 15-second movie trailers in online games. Mr. Rich says Paramount may be interested in such ads, but emphasized that the content of any such ads shouldn't turn off gamers. [...] Massive says its technology works for both online games and consoles, but it hasn't yet negotiated a deal allowing for ad-insertion in console games. Mr. Davis says he hopes to strike a console game deal soon. Edward Williams, managing director at Harris Nesbitt Equity Research in New York, says the videogame ads won't take off until console games are included."

Please let me know as soon as you see a Loreal commercial in your favourite role playing game...

Thanks Shacknews.

Well it seems some design company has done it. Creating a keyboard on which every key has its own tiny LCD screen, allowing each program to control the value of each key. Oh, well, my explanation is crap.
The keyboard is expected to be available in 2006.

I have decided to use AdSense on www.blumaise.org, just to see what it could be to get some cash from Mr. Google.

Ermmm, let's say I am quite doubtfull at the moment, since blumaise does not generate that much traffic, and since I don't really talk of commercial products here. Well, at least I will have tried it!
