SNK's oddball bullet hell shmup, KOF Sky Stage, has finally been dated for Xbox Live Arcade -- in Japan, at least. Masochists can check it out on September 15 for 800 MS Points ($10). That's a small price to pay to see Terry Bogard and company fly around and shoot stuff. And, y' know, play a super-tough game.

The game originally launched in Japanese arcades back in January. PSP users can also access KOF Sky Stage right now in Neo Geo Heroes, while those of us in the US can likely look forward to a localized release, so says an ESRB listing. If you're looking to get an early start at finding all of those sweet hiding spots to take refuge from the impending bullet swarms, head past the break for a new trailer.

The term “data warehouse” may have originated because it once took a literal warehouse to hold all the servers you needed to store a few gigabytes of information. We now live in extraordinary times where usb drives given away as promotional items can store the equivalent. The approaches taken by data professionals have not caught up to the unfathomable progress hardware has made.

I’ve seen a lot of MemoryLeaks caused by wrong usage patterns of ThreadLocal variables. As I had this problem in one of our own applications, I want to blog about this case.

The Google Data Protocol is an Application Programming Interface released by Google Inc. This API creates an interface which gives a developer tools to search and interact with many of the different services provided by google. (Google Docs, Google Calender, Youtube etc...)The Google Data(GData) API has a library for many different languages; this tutorial covers the Java Client. In this tutorial I will cover installation of the GData Java client eclipse plug-in, a brief overview of many of the APIs and finally an example using the Code Search library.

Images from abandonedchairsblogspot.com: Queen West There is something so forlorn and sad about a chair abandoned on the roadside. Innocent and sometimes beautiful, it is hard to resist taking them home and giving them a reason to live again. Some artists have been having the same problem. Moira Stevenson had filled up her Toronto front porch with rescued chairs until she had no more room. Her solution was photography: she photographs them before in their naked state.

Erin Robinson's excellent Puzzle Bots was chosen as one of the PAX 10 winners for this weekend's Seattle convention, and as a result, Wadjet Eye games has it on sale all weekend long. By entering the code "PUZZLEPAX" at checkout, you can play the cheerful little strategy puzzle title for $4.99 instead of the usual $10.

There's a free demo available if you want to try before you buy and the game will also be playable on the PAX show floor -- so if you have a friend in Seattle, ask them what they think. An excellent deal on an excellent indie title, even for those of us who aren't partying with Tycho and Gabe this weekend.

Voor 99 cent konden iTunes-gebruikers een nummer uit de muziekcatalogus omzetten naar een dertig seconden durende ringtone. Het is nog onbekend waarom Apple de Ringtones-functie uit iTunes 10 heeft gehaald.

So far, NetBeans IDE 6.10, Milestone 1, is quite impressive IMO.
