That’s right folks… put your dicks back in your pants, because here comes chatrouletteMAP.com. This new site, launched today, matches everyone’s IP addresses with Google Maps in order to Geolocate where you are. Since chatroulette.com uses peer-to-peer technology, it is possible for someone to record each IP address that you connect to when randomly meeting up with a person around the globe.
Chatroulette.com is a brand new service for one-on-one text, webcam and microphone-based chat with people around the world… It taking the world by storm as the newest social media technologies out there. Spun-off the name of a casino game called ‘russian roulette’, the main purpose is to test your faith by randomly pinning yourself against another person in the world.
Over at the Capcom blog, a short message was posted instructing Xbox360 owners to check out the exclusive trailer that will be available on Xbox Live, on Feburary 23rd. The short message following of “What could it be about? You’ll have to check it out…” has gaming fans on forums everywhere speculating whether the title will be a current Capcom series or something new all together.
Nobody knows for sure, but one thing is for certain. Come Feburary 23rd countless people will be logging in and checking out the video. Hopefully whatever is behind the veil will be worthy of the interest it has garnered.
For many, the Street Fighter name is synonymous with with fighting genre, and today, fans of that genre rejoice! Street Fighter IV is the long awaited Capcom production that was announced back in October 07′, and people have been clamouring for it ever since. Many fans wondered if the new title would provide the high energy precision that seems to run with the SF name, and were also attentive to the fact that the developers really wanted to get the game’s build right.
At first glance the new art direction is very detailed and everything is rendered in 3D.
Oh but don’t worry, the fighting remains on its conventional 2D plane, true to the SF titles of the past. Character art is stylized to give a hand drawn feel, and on screen visuals compliment this style by showing brush strokes, and ink splatters during the action. The art style draws from a bright, and varying color pallet, which really helps to bring the 3D backgrounds to life.
Combat is also faithful to the genre, as well as bringing in it’s own new flavors and a few other neat tricks. Super combos feature a breakaway camera, that pans to various cinematic action angles, during the combo for a better view of the action. Ultra combos are a new addition to the series, and are based off a “revenge gauge” that requires you to get hit by your opponent in order for the gauge to fill up. This is also known as the Ultra gauge. The camera will also break away during an Ultra Combo so that players will get a better view of the devastation that is being laid out. The last new addition to the combat side of things are the new Focus Attacks. Focus Attacks feature a multi-phase “absorb and counter” system that will most likely create a more “back and forth” style of fighting, that will be a near parallel to boxing.
Overall, the new entrant in the Street Fighter series is living up to it’s proud name already, by showing it is as innovative and fun to play as its predecessors.
It is not easy, but it is possible. I still recommend waiting for some program from The Dev Team.
We take no responsibility. Please read everything before you try this…

At Occipital, we’ve been working really hard on a better camera application for the iPhone, called ClearCam, and we finally launched it on BigBoss/Cydia!
ClearCam takes 6 photos in 2.5 seconds, fuses them together using an algorithm called super resolution, and creates a sharper, 4 megapixel photo with less noise. There is also a QuickShot mode that takes 4 photos in under 2 seconds and saves the sharpest to the camera roll.
Here is a comparison photo of using ClearCam and NOT using ClearCam:
We spent a lot of time optimizing our code to make it run fast enough on the iPhone. A lot of our effort went into being able to align photos precisely with sub-pixel accuracy (required for super resolution), and to also do it fast.
You can check out more information at our site. There’s also a pretty good post about it here.
If you’ve been hoping for better photos from your iPhone, give ClearCam a try. If you really like it, feel free to buy it and support some hungry programmers =).
