They could have just licensed and altered Bose's active suspension. Expensive, but probably way cheaper than the contract process DARPA must have gone through...

Your iPad 2 is also a year old, at most. How many people do you know who repurchase a (minimum) $500 device every year? The expectation that every single new Apple device should be so much better than its previous iteration that everyone should upgrade is absurd. The buyers here are going to be either original iPad…

[SPOILER ALERT]

Until, you know, Yuri. And armored bears. And pretty much any Allied superweapon (the Soviets at least had the decency to stick with nukes).

*its wonderful fan base

Photosynth is a good stop-gap if you want this functionality and don't have a developer account. Includes nifty features like geotagging and, of course, a kind of inside-a-globe feel for your panorama.

Obviously it's powering Cornish homes because they're much smaller. 7,500 Cornish homes are roughly equal to 4,000 normal homes. Total marketing gimmick.

Does this make Hipstamatic akin to Hamburger Helper?

They... They didn't label it 4G. Nobody from Apple ever called it a 4G. My idiot friends just ASKED "Is that the iPhone 4G?" and I just sighed and said yes, because explaining 4G to people is just painful (ask the ITU). So blame me.

I don't understand the need to rob the player of so much control. While obviously the storyline was a little less complex, I thought Alan Wake did a good job of guiding the storyline while still allowing the player certain elements of control.

Just a note... people see "Google" and automatically assume "programmer." An absurdly high percentage of Google employees are in sales positions. Client-facing, down-and-dirty sales positions. I have a good number of friends who are very smart, who went to go work in Google's sales department. However, they are also…

In the blogging world, breaking big news leads to inbound links, higher page views, and more money. Honan says this is blackmail because Arrington says "I'll release the details of your scandal if you don't let me break these stories in the future." I happen to agree.

Anyone know what that soundtrack is?

I call shenanigans, or at least poor editing. the picture labeled "Arahama" is just a zoomed-in version of Sendai...

@NewYorkInc: Pretty sure the lack of an invite for Giz, and a direct invite to MG Seigler (not TechCrunch, MobileCrunch, or CrunchGear) let all of us morons safely call shenanigans on your comment..LOL

worst. article update. ever.
