Missile Command on giant multi-touch screen

by Dave Rosenberg

If someone can figure out a business model for giant multi-touch video games it will make life a lot more fun. It would also disrupt the way we generally consume games through a console and joystick-esque appendages. Maybe I will dedicate my life to this idea next.

It may say something about me but a hundred years ago I was the high-score-to-beat at Mission Command. I'd say the headline above made me click through quicker than any other blog post ever. But hey... those guys seem to have an awful lot more ammo than I remember ?

My Xmas is sorted. Now to find out how to get one. Or then maybe... my 4-year old will just stick a broom handle through it.

Does anyone know how I can tell if my slow broadband connection is down to my pc or my broadband provider (Tiscali)? I ran a speed test here http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/broadband/speedtest/ and it tells me I have a download speed of 2.06Mbs and an upload speed of 243 Kbps. My laptop a dell Inspiron 8600, is about 3-4 years old some and I have Windows and is running Windows 2000.

Any or advice help would be greatly appreciated!
