Toys R Us offers action figure and $20 gift card with ODST purchase {Joystiq}
Sep 20th 2009 1:14PM If this is anything like the promo they did for Arkham Asylum, the gift card doesn't activate for 6 hours, essentially forcing you to come back the next day.
DJ Hero's Daft Punk trailer will 'Robot Rock' you {Joystiq}
Sep 16th 2009 1:12AM I like pretty much everything Daft Punk does, but that was pretty uninspiring. Maybe they should have asked Girl Talk to do the mix instead.
Spelunky explores XBLA in 2010 {Joystiq}
Sep 2nd 2009 1:56PM Le gasp! I love Spelunky! I lost hours and hours of time this last spring trying to get to the end. It's so gloriously, diabolically difficult while still being fun.
Sgt. Johnson shows off Halo 3: ODST's Firefight mode {Joystiq}
Aug 26th 2009 12:26AM @DiggyStyle: You can! He plays one of the other ODSTs, and supposedly Wash is the third. It's like kicking ass with half the crew of Serenity!
This Wednesday: The NBA drafts the Watchmen on XBLA [update] {Joystiq}
Aug 24th 2009 4:14PM I can see it now: Combine vs Human Resistance Basketball, played with gravity guns.
PS3 Slim drops optional OS install feature {Joystiq}
Aug 18th 2009 4:49PM But what about linking dozens of them together into a cheap-ish supercomputer?
Samsung Instinct S50 now reportedly the Instinct HD, 'HD' officially the new black {Engadget}
Aug 13th 2009 2:23PM Everything is "HD" these days. I saw an ad on the television the other day promoting laser eye surgery that would give you "HD vision". I guess it's the same kind of idea as TV dinners?
Editorial: Taking the iPhone 3GS off the job market {Engadget}
Jul 10th 2009 4:40PM I spent 6 months using the HTC Kaiser and then the Touch Pro and type just as fast on my new iPhone because I had to always wait for the software to catch up with me on those WinMo phones. (And yes, I had speed-oriented ROMs from the 'tubes.) Of course, I also have small hands, which might be a factor.
I agree that the iPhone needs native multitasking. Backgrounder is fairly broken on OS 3.0 and frankly should have never been a necessary piece of software. Here they have something to learn from WebOS.
This editorial mentions that the email functionality is "brutal" but doesn't go into detail. I'm not in love with the mail app, but it certainly doesn't seem broken.
Of course, the amount of work it sounds like the author was trying to do is almost assuredly too much for pretty much any phone on the market. Swallow your pride and carry a laptop if you want to get things done.
The iPhone gets a lot of things wrong, but gets just as many right. That's more than I can say about my experience with Windows Mobile.
Sonic turns 18 tomorrow, Sega giving you all his presents {Joystiq}
Jun 23rd 2009 12:55AM Man, really? I remember when Sonic turned 10 and they released that special edition of Sonic Adventure 2 with the soundtrack compilation CD and the "10 Years of Sonic" sticker that is still on my Dreamcast to this day. The time, she is flying.
Matching IDs suggest fake matte iPhones may not have been so fake {Engadget}
Jun 10th 2009 11:34PM But then it's hard to fit it in your oh-so-fashionable tight pants pockets!
