stopcrazypp commented on Nissan Developing Electric Car For 2010, at 9:49 PM on May 13 @goatrope: NVH and temp isn't even an big issue for li-ion batteries since all that requires is a good enclosure and good temp control (not exactly really high tech stuff considering its just basically an air-conditioned aluminum box). On the other hand, the cost and energy density of such batteries are more pressing problems that still haven't really been solved. That said, most of the delays in EVs/PHEVs are on things unrelated to the battery, like the transmission in the Tesla and the redesigned accessories (air cond, wipers, sound system if I remember correctly) for the Volt. Thing about Nissan is that it's Japanese and it's no secret the Japan government really supports EV development. more »

stopcrazypp commented on Gametrailers Blows It with PS3/360 Footage, at 3:18 AM on May 11 I still like gametrailers because their streaming is excellent; didn't give half a flying sh*t about those comparison videos anyways, b/c I don't feel you can judge a game/console by a few comparison videos; didn't know there was such a huge following for those. more » [kotaku]

stopcrazypp commented on Rockstar Patches GTA IV's PS3 Online Play, at 5:53 PM on May 7 @bobee: I don't think these people understand there are multiple different freezes and the most serious being the one which makes the game unplayable and disabling the internet doesn't fix it. more » [kotaku]

stopcrazypp commented on Hands-On with the HTC Touch Diamond (Verdict: Slightly Sluggish, But Has Nice UI Touches), at 10:34 PM on May 6 Don't think the sluggish response is solely the software, it's a combination of the fact resistive touch tend to be less responsive (or rather it needs a harder press to register) and that the processor is slower in this phone. more » [gizmodo]

stopcrazypp commented on GTA IV Lockup Solution: Disabling PSN?, at 3:09 PM on May 3 I suppose Rockstar should get a lot of blame for this, but I think people have to realize this game is selling millions of copies and we don't know how widespread the intro freeze and this random freeze is; even 0.1% is in the 1000s and 1% is in the 10s of 1000s. more » [kotaku]

stopcrazypp commented on Rockstar Support Suggests 12-Step Fix For GTA IV Lock Ups, at 3:40 AM on May 2 I think the best advice is still to wait for the patch, maybe only try this once following the EXACT steps, because I heard some people bricked their PS3s by trying the uninstall fix too many times, but this 12-step "fix" points to that there might not be a patch if this somehow makes the game work. more » [kotaku]
