John Gruber and Ian Betteridge got into a discussion recently about Apple, Google, hypocrisy, and hyper-competitive nature (I made a Readlist for it here, which I will update with any future discussions). It’s an interesting read no matter on which side of the fence you rest (or, if you carefully walk across the top of [...]
Oh, yeah! That’s right, I’m busting out the rhymes for this one. Except I’m done, now. Go beatbox somewhere else. And get off my lawn. Now, where was I? Oh, yeah. Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is in the App Store. For free (as in beer). It’s pretty. I like to play it. If you enjoyed [...]
One of the coolest features available to iPhones and iPads has been the ability to mirror your devices display to your television using an Apple TV. AirPlay has been around even longer, which let you direct a video or audio stream to your Apple TV or (in the case of audio) to an AirPort Express [...]
Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Stargate SG-1: Unleashed was available in the App Store. I was surprised because I hadn’t even known that the game was so far along in development. I had read about a Stargate game coming from Arkalis Interactive (the developers behind the other officially licensed Stargate iOS app: [...]
I recently signed up for App.net (a paid Twitter alternative) and have quite enjoyed the conversations in which I’ve found myself involved. Two of the more interesting discussions have been about the future of the Apple TV (more on that later) and Apple’s rumored wearable iOS device that Michael Norton (@zenimpulse - ADN) recently dubbed the [...]
Technically, I think that’s a proper noun (to my knowledge, the clearing of four lines at once, is still written as a Tetris, not a tetris), but it’s a good one, so I’m not complaining.
I came across a decent number of good articles today about Apple, all of which are worth a read, even if you don’t like Apple. Why? Because if you’re the type of person that expends any amount of energy repeating the misinformation that passes for journalism these days, it’s important to know when you’ve been [...]
Three things: One, The Bard’s Tale for iOS is free for a limited time. It’s a birds-eye view dungeon crawler similar in style to the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, X-Men Legends, Champions of Norrath, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. While the original The Bard’s Tale series was a western-RPG in the vein of Might & Magic and [...]
I’ve been a fan of Japanese roleplaying games since I was a young child, when I first played Dragon Warrior (originally, Dragon Quest, in Japan) and Final Fantasy on the NES. That love did not fade throughout the years, and I still love to play a good, old-fashioned melodrama now and then. The Final Fantasy [...]
A couple weeks ago, Google updated their Android version install-base breakdown and revealed that Ice Cream Sandwich had finally (after nearly a full year) reached 20% of Android phones in use today. To fully understand the significance of this, Apple’s iOS 6 reached 15% of eligible devices in 24 hours. An important distinction, however, is [...]
