Yeah, I can echo some of his thoughts. I used to love it when games had more story driven plots- now I typically get annoyed when a game is trying to tell too much story. I also don't sit and play for hours like I used to. 1-2 hours is my max most of the time. I did make exceptions for these with FFXIII- which i…

@pixelsnader: It really doesn't relate. Text messages are sent via transmissions that are already occurring between your phone and cell towers. It doesn't cost the cell companies anything to offer the service because the transmissions are already happening with your phone and cell tower. They don't setup special…

@John-Hamptonshire: yeah... they're clones...copies.. call them what you want- but they're GOOD copies.

Yeah, I picked up this app a month or so ago and its pretty cool. I was impressed with the features and the onion skinning works well. Unfortunately, I've done very little with it so far, but it's really cool and worth it.

@lonewanderer: Well, if you pay attention at all with game updates, you'll be able to figure out what games do have Game Center support when you update them. Support has to be added to all games by individual updates to each game- when you see there's an update for the game, it will state what its adding, including…

actually, that looks like it could be an effective interface. Since your thumb/finger would be moving, it wouldn't be stationary and covering up any 1 part of the screen for long- plus, I'm sure the software would detect your finger position and not have any albums/categories under that spot. You see what you want,…

It's hard to believe it's been that long! I got my PSX the day it came out.. I was a die-hard Nintendo fan up to that point. I saw a worker playing an import Playstation at a now defunct game store (I forget the name.. kinda like a Funcoland) and had a feeling it was going to be huge. I was hooked and immediately…

I Epic Citadel tech demo is pretty amazing. There aren't any characters in the town, but you can wonder around and check out the sites. I was pretty blown away. When you see it on an iPhone 4 screen- it holds its own against many current gen games. I just don't know if they'll be able to keep it up once they add in…

I signed up last night and there was still a button for Facebook in Ping. When I clicked it, I got a message saying that the browser needed Javascript enabled.

Yeah, nothing will ever beat a dedicated device for gaming (unless it as extremely versatile in both hardware and software - like a PC). I'm an iPhone, PSP, and DS gamer... and I like them all for different reasons. The iPhone is extremely convenient because I ALWAYS have my phone with me and I have 10+ games…

looks like an R2-D2 kids calculator circa 1982. I love Star Wars, but that's pretty hideous to actually carry around and use as an adult.

The book

Crap.. and there goes my idea I was thinking of patenting.. their diagrams are awful examples.. but there's a lot more stuff that can be done with this which can help solve shortcomings of tablet devices that require holding it with 2 hands.

@mricyfire: yup, I've always been a gadget geek and blackberries have never done a thing for me.

@Dmack34: Yeah , I think there's something else going on. My iPhone keeps everything open and my battery lasts all day. I think I ran into a bug once where something may have gotten 'stuck on' and my battery drained really quickly. I haven't been able to recreate it since, though. My iPhone 4 lasts longer than the…

I really don't like the Kinect packaging.... or the packaging for the new 360 :\

I'm also a happy iPhone 4 owner. I've experienced no interruption in calls- although I can recreate the death grip in low reception areas. It's never cut off a call for me though.

@Squirrelbot3000: ha, I haven't seen that video before. Yeah- it's a good question. :)

Microsoft and mismanagement? (eye roll). That's been the story of their company for the last 8 years or so. I'm not a Microsoft hater, either. How much has to get screwed up before they oust Balmer and put someone in charge who knows how to be collaborative and a visionary? Balmer seems to have neither of those. I…
