@LordHelmet: I wasn't talking about the Gizmodo copy, but the description by the developers in the app store. 1GB+ apps are hardly a rarity nowadays, especially for BYOM apps.

@Skitch: They showed multiplayer at the Apple iOS 4.2 event. I can see it working very well; it's essentially like Street Fighter. The difference with single player is that right now there is little incentive to be aggressive because the enemy *always* blocks your attacks—you are forced to wait for an opening. But if

@qrius: No one said all of UPS steals. The article doesn't seem hyperbolic; he did catch UPS tampering with his package.

@infmom: Yep, FedEx UPS where I live, bar none.

Big, yeah. But the GPS app on my iPhone (CoPilot) weighs in at 1.63GB, and that's only for Europe. I'm sure Riven is big for a game, but it's hardly the largest app out there.

@nandreetta: That's a good way of putting it. As a big Indy fan, comparing Infinity Blade to Indiana Jones 4 is sadly, a bit insulting to Infinity Blade :)

@Jason Chen: Or maybe the God King is from the future or another world, or the past was more futuristic than we know, or whatever.

Hopefully some of these updates will help making beating the 5th/6th God King a bit easier. He's crazy hard even with the Infinity Blade right now.

At first, I thought this was a campaign to send 100 pages of pure black to corporate fax machines, which is dumb (who doesn't use an efax system nowaday). But they're spamming actual *information* here, which I kinda dig cause I get fax spam all the time and it would be a kick to get stuff I could actually read.

@superstrikertwo: Yep, it could be out of context, that just makes the trailer seem poorly researched. Maybe we should hold out hope that the actual movie will be better :)

@DJ_Skrull: Yes, that's the premise they imply. The thing is, if you actually make that announcement to the public, people will be scratching their heads debating exactly what we are now. How does a stationary lander end up on the far side of the moon?

@Whytookay - Zoom. Enhance!: Actually, re-watch the video at 0:49. The announcer says, "We now have had confirmation: loss of signal from Apollo 11. Apollo 11 IS on the far side of the moon..."

@andsid: Actually, there is gravity on the moon, about 1/6 that of Earth.

@farcedude: Sorry, typo. I don't mean to be talking about the "dark side" but rather the far side. But the point stands. Think about it a second. How does one "lose contact" with the lander once it's landed? The announcer says, "We now have confirmation of loss of signal from Apollo 11. Apollo 11 IS on the far side of

Is it OK if I nitpick?

@Andorian25: Sounds intuitive, but I think that would have been exactly the wrong path to follow :) Then you would have an iPad 2, at 9x6, which could not then display previous gen iPad apps (10x7) without modification. Further, while it could run iPhone4 apps at native resolution, those wouldn't be tablet-interface

@FriedPeeps: If there's one thing Apple seems to want, it's for iOS app interoperability. iPhone 4 is exactly 4x the resolution of iPhone 3x, and can scale legacy apps effortlessly. The iPad's current resolution can run iPhone at 1x and 2x, and could theoretically run iPhone 4 apps at 1x. If they increased the

Retina Display on iPad? I'd really like to see how Apple can pull that off (we're talking ~300 ppi). It'd be much more power hungry, heavier and thicker, and present 4 iOS resolutions for developers to deal with.

@blyan-reloaded: My iPhone works great in the Bay Area, and I can hit 4.5Mbps down.

@wætherman: That sounds like being the captain of the Titanic :)
