Sony's next PSP (codename NGP): a closer look

Following the unveil of its bodacious next generation portable (NGP) PlayStation device, Sony let a swarm of journalists (including us) on stage to get a closer look at the PSP's dual-stick, quad-core successor. No touching, but we were able to direct our lens mighty close and compare the NXP with a PSP and PSP Go before the on-hand staff shooed us away. Enjoy the pictures!

Update: And now we've got video for you as well! You know where it's at.

Heads Up, Devs: Android Honeycomb Preview SDK Out [Android]

Embedly Pro Lets Your App Embed Content From Any Link

If you've ever shared a link on Facebook, you're probably familiar with the nifty preview image and text that it pulls in from the linked site automatically (it doesn't always show exactly what you wanted, but it's usually better than nothing). Most people never think twice about the feature, but when you encounter a similar sharing widget that doesn't do the same thing, it feels a bit archaic ? but it isn't trivial for developers to build, either. Now Embedly, the startup that specializes in (as you might guess) embedding content, has a solution. It's called Embedly Pro, and it went live this morning. The gist of it: Embedly has always offered an API that lets developers easily embed content from some 180 services, like Twitter, YouTube, and Posterous. But that API only works for those services ? if you wanted to embed an excerpt from TechCrunch, for example, it wouldn't be able to do it. That's changing with Embedly Pro, which promises to let developers generate embeds for nearly any site.

WriteMonkey bare-bones text editor now has "typewriter mode" and new syntax coloring

writemonkey
Version 2.0 of bare-bones text editor WriteMonkey has just been released. This release comes after a lengthy testing period (some of it covered on Download Squad), and adds several news features:
  • Text comments: When working on a manuscript, sometimes you may want to add comments and thoughts that should not be included as part of the final text. Now you can preface a paragraph with // (two slashes), and WriteMonkey will regard it as a comment. It would not be included in the word count, you could select not to export it, and its text would be slightly dimmed, using the new syntax coloring engine.
  • Typewriter mode: This mode carries WriteMonkey's typewriter metaphor to the extreme. It keeps the text insertion point in the middle of the line, and moves the text around it. So you type and the lines move back and forth. It's actually lots of fun, and can be toggled by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L.
  • More statistics: WriteMonkey's had text statistics for a while now (accessible using F12). These have been made more comprehensive, and they now show average words per sentence, estimated reading time, amount of "hard words" (words with more than 3 syllables), and more. There's also a list of word frequencies so you can avoid repetition. This feature has been around since version 2.0 preview 1, but if you haven't upgraded from 0.9 (the previous "Stable" version), it's a great addition.
There are quite a few other features - read all about them in WriteMonkey's release notes.

The Inspiration for Lady Gaga's New Perfume: Blood and Semen [Scents]

We were trying to determine what Lady Gaga's forthcoming fragrance should smell like, but rumor has it she's decided. It will supposedly smell like blood and semen. Nasty, but I guess that's exactly what a bad romance smells like. More »
