Atari takes on Wii Fit with floor mat-based Family Trainer game

Filed under:


It looks like Atari is taking a few cues from Nintendo's past in order to take on the hot-selling Wii Fit, with the company's new Family Trainer game employing a Power Pad-style (or DDR-style for you young 'uns) mat controller to give you a workout. That'll apparently let you run and jump your way through more than a dozen mini-games designed to get your heart rate going, including log jumping, rope skipping and water rafting, each of which also make use of the Wiimote for some upper-body action. No word on a price just yet, but it'll apparently be landing in Europe first this September before it (presumably) makes its way over here.

黑莓手機,明星最愛?




有這麼個專門的網站,收錄了許多好萊塢明星們使用黑莓手機的照片,當然這些照片變成是黑莓手機的活廣告,這在iPhone大行其道的今天真的是另一道亮麗風景,不知道會不會有蘋果迷做個明星拿iPhone的集合,也許會引來不少點擊。

Uno,獨特又帥氣的雙輪車




兩輪,但輪胎平行地擺放方式讓它看起來又不像一般機車;有儀表版,但上面就只有一個啟動開關;造型前衛外形酷炫,卻又不是出現在電影的場景裡的動畫作品,而是貨真價實,出現在現實生活中的未來機車:這,就是 Uno。

這部由 Ben J. Poss Gulak 這位十八歲的春風少年兄所設計製作的 Uno,與其說它是部機車,倒不如說是台類似 Segway 的交通工具更為合適。這部身長只有一般機車的一半,重達 54 公斤的機器,裡頭裝設有兩個回轉儀,能夠用來感測騎乘者重心的位置,因此操作這台機器的方式也就變得更為直覺:重心向前 = 加速、向後 = 減速,左右傾斜 = 轉彎。至於採用的燃料種類為何?續航力?以及極速這些問題,目前則尚未有任何公開報導或是測試數據出現。

所以呢,也只能點選引用來源來看到更多的 Uno 照片寫真囉!

親愛的各界好友:

 
對於在5月12日(星期一) 剛剛發生的四川災難所帶來不幸,令到內地同胞痛失家園、至親至愛慘逢劇變的遭遇,我們深表哀痛及致以深切的慰問。這突如其來的災難,無情地奪去超過一萬四千名寶貴生命,直接影響高達一億人口的生計。社會各界現正進行多方面的救危、援助工作,協助遭遇不幸的同胞早日脫離苦難。我們藉此呼籲所有「.hk」客戶和同業好友慷慨捐款,更透過正籌備「網上賑災」網站,凝聚網上力量,使各界更快、有效地獲得有關四川賑災的資訊和作出相應關懷行動。
 
我相信大家都能為救災盡一分力。民政事務總署已設立了一個渠道,讓全港市民透過多方捐款途徑,幫助受地震影響的內地災民。所有籌得善款將直接交予紅十字會、香港世界宣明會、樂施會、聯合國兒童基金會及救世軍五個國際救援組織,在受影響地區進行賑災工作:
 
1.          十八區民政事務處的二十個公眾諮詢中心及各區郵局(流動郵局除外), 將於辦公時間內會集市民捐款。
2.          市民請盡量以支票方式捐款,支票抬頭須寫上「香港特別行政區政府」。捐款人士將可獲發收據。
3.          市民亦可將現金捐款交入HSBC銀行戶口「502-256803-001」。


團結就是力量!請即行動,將希望送達四川災區。有關進一步資料,請留意稍後的新聞稿公佈。如有任何查詢,請電郵 donations@hkdnr.hk 。
