Modding consoles is quite the risky business. After all, whenever you take apart a console by yourself, you're voiding the warranty and it may not work after you put it back together. Ben Heckendorn (or Ben Heck, as he is more commonly known) is not that kind of modder. He is the modder that modders all aspire to be. Check out why and what he just did to a backwards-compatible Sony PS3 in the full article.

Sony's announcement that it will begin sales of 11-inch organic light emitting diode (OLED) monitors before the end of the year has caused rival companies to step up their own OLED screen development plans. However, as reported by AV zombie, South Korean electronics company Samsung doubts that the electronics giant will not be able to deliver on their promise.

"I hope Sony will really do it, but considering circumstances, I doubt they will be able to start selling it this year," said Yoo Eui-jin, vice president and chief of Samsung SDI’s OLED team. "Maybe it would be possible for them to make a hundred or a thousand units as artifacts, but no more than that."

The advantages of OLED screens (greater range of colors, brightness, theoretically lower costs, etc.) over their LCD counterparts has had manufacturers racing to get them out of the factory and into consumers' homes. Samsung currently plans to introduce active matrix OLED screens for mobile phones and other portable devices instead of TVs.

While the Wii has its own Wiimote revolution, there are other forms of interactivity that explore other dimensions of gameplay, both figuratively and literally. Here's one of them: MobZombies. It's a mobile game that blurs the line between the real world and that of what's inside the handheld. The gameplay concept is simple, but beyond that, it becomes quite a conversation piece.

All you have to do in the game is to avoid the zombies you see on screen. The catch is, you don't move with a D-pad. You are the D-pad. Yep, the zombie mobile game comes with a special motion sensing gadget that translates your real-world steps into directions for your in-game avatar move in. Also, you get to set down some bombs and bibles to explode those undead corpses away. It's kinda hard to describe with words, you'll have to see it for yourself:

Now, let's suppose you're playing the game and hordes of zombies start coming at you until... you come face to face with a solid brick wall. How do you compensate? Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. This is probably the closest thing we can get to a true-to-life zombie scenario.

Maybe playing too much of this game - blurring the line between the real and the virtual world that much more every time you play it - could be unhealthy. Figuratively, literally, and... Mentally? I definitely wouldn't want to be seeing zombies everywhere I go. *shivers*
