Tech Tip: It is hard to keep up with all the digital advances like CD to DVD and the upcoming new generation discs and also standard TVs to rear projection and now plasma and LCD and the new High Definition TVs. However we may be moving so fast that even tech companies like Sony and Microsoft can't keep up. Blu-Ray Discs and HD-DVDs were supposed to be fighting a big battle as the successor to DVDs. However with new TVs having hard disk drives like computers, then iPods with iTunes offering both audio and video, Foxtel IQ and ultra fast broadband not far away these type of discs may be unnecessary.

Computer Jargon: The Microbrowser is Also known as a mobile browser is the type of Internet browser you see on your mobile phone or PDA when on the Internet. As the screen size is generally too small to show websites fully like on a normal screen, these browsers are able to convert content to a manageable and readable form for the smaller screens. Spyware is not affecting these browsers yet!

Product: To go back to the future, did you know that in the main, film cameras produce better quality than digital cameras and especially mobile phones? Did you know that LCD screens are only now catching up to overall display quality of the older chunkier CRT monitors? You have probably realised that analogue mobile phones had much better call quality and drop out rates on average than our current digital equivalents. Basically when things are shinier and seem better at face value (i.e. a screen on a digital camera) we think it is automatically better. I guess its true that you can't judge a book by its cover!

Did you Know? The internet, broadband, emails and blackberry have allowed us to work from home but what are we actually doing. A recent US survey has shown that one in eight men don't bother getting dressed at all, just one third wash and shave and one in five take an afternoon nap! From the boss's perspective, women don't fair much better with one in 14 naked at their computer and only half taking a shower. 40% of people us the time to do regular housework but interestingly 75% believe working from home improved their productivity which begs the question what are they wearing and doing at work!!

Major Gripe: Bans on smoking, computer games, alcohol, porn access and mobile phones are in affect to varying degrees in schools around the country. Now in the case of smoking, alcohol and porn there are laws prohibiting minors from these materials but in all of these examples the usage by young people is on a massive increase which is detrimental to society in so many ways. There is now a proposal to ban soft drinks in schools which probably like all bans will not work especially since this is a legal item for minors. Instead of prohibition which has never worked, what about promoting PE, sport and cultural activities and then responsible use of technology like mobile phones which like it or not will be a part of their lives in the future.

F-Zero is one of most popular racing titles on Nintendo. It has landed its name on nearly every console has million seller titles for nearly all of its main console games. F-Zero is futuristic racing series in which over 30 racers are to be selected into a 30 man race. Racing can go up to speeds to around 2000 miles per hour and the tracks and racers are often deadly. The most recent F-Zero title is F-Zero GX, a popular racing title for the Nintendo Gamecube.

Recently, there has a been a large rumor around about the advent of F-Zero for Nintendo Wii, the newest gaming console for Nintendo. This rumored game was given the title F-Zero Z. This news was first reported by the German gaming site Planet Nintendo. It was widely circulated around the web and few have been able to tell whether the rumor is true or whether it is one of those urban myths that gamers love to spread.

I have done extensive research on the subject through many sources and wanted to find out myself if this rumor is true or not. By most accounts I have read, the rumor of F-Zero Z is one big urban myth. It was considered a late April Fools' Day joke but evidently it went too far. Although the rumor has been debunked, it is not unlikely that the game will appear on Nintendo Wii sometime. Although may not under the title F-Zero Z, Nintendo will surely revitalize the series and give it the good old Wii touch.
