      Downloadable Games Can Be Fun and Affordable

      May 1, 2010 /

      Downloadable games are enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether someone is a casual player or a gaming genius, game players still want the world’s best games along with unique and incredible game experiences.

      So with that in mind, what if you could download games or play online easily and simply? What if you could do this whether you had a PC or a Mac? What if you could play the games you love and have them always at your fingertips? What if you could play your favorite online games while knowing your computer was absolutely safe from viruses?

      Too good to be true, you say? Not at all. There are some outstanding gaming websites where the games are always flowing and always virus-safe; and where you can find countless downloadable games at your fingertips while enjoying an affordable membership that is designed with you in mind.

      Many of the best gaming sites have multiple membership options so that members can design a plan around their interests and desires- not to mention their pocketbooks. Therefore, whether you are looking for free downloads or top games that you can buy and own, there are plans that suit these specific needs. Of course, the hottest gaming sites offer the most popular new game releases currently in demand; these games come from the very best game publishers in the world and are always sought after.

      One last thing: If you are a game developer (and most gamers certainly dream of developing their own games) and have an interest, some gaming sites will actually help you distribute your games! Imagine having your games online with gamers, like yourself, actually downloading these products that you have designed and developed. Now this is a true gamers’ dream come true.

      Apple supposedly warned HTC before it sued

      March 10, 2010 /

      iPhone with some devil horns.Part of the hullabaloo surrounding Apple’s recent litigation against HTC was that it supposedly came with little warning. That would have left HTC without much time to find suitable workarounds for the infringements in question, if it actually wasn’t warned in the first place. According to Oppenheimer’s Yair Reiner, Apple did warn handset makers that it would be much stricter with regard to IP violations in the new year.

      “Starting in January, Apple launched a series of C-Level discussions with tier-1 handset makers to underscore its growing displeasure at seeing its iPhone-related IP [intellectual property] infringed. The lawsuit filed against HTC thus appears to be Apple’s way of putting a public, lawyered-up exclamation point on a series of blunt conversations that have been occurring behind closed doors,” Reiner wrote in a report on the matter. If he’s to be believe, HTC may be the first in a string of suits that could lead to lucrative licensing deals for several of Apple’s technologies.

      Kindle opens up for app development

      January 21, 2010 /

      Kindle development kit.Amazon announced today that the Kindle would be opening up for development of third-party apps. It’s getting everything too, not just weather widgets and email browsers. You want games? You got ’em. Though, you’ll probably hate most of them on that e-ink display.

      Really, this has to be a future-proofing move for Amazon. I can’t imagine many developers will be clamoring to get apps on the device, especially with the limitations in place. Free apps have to be less than 1MB and use less than 100KB of data per month. Paid apps are under the same usage limit but can be as large as 100MB, though anything over 10MB has to be downloaded via USB.

      It’s hard to imagine the kind of apps that could be successful on a Kindle. The screen refresh works for ebooks, but imagine trying to play a game. It’s just not going to work out. The real benefit, it seems, will be to get developers involved before the release of some sort of color Kindle with a real screen. Until then, I’m pretty sure the “apps” will just be ebooks that serve specific markets.

      More Facebook privacy issues surface

      January 11, 2010 /

      surprise!This weekend Zuckerberg sat down with Michael Arrington to talk Facebook privacy. I found Zuckerberg’s comments pretty disconcerting, even more so today after an anonymous employee gave an interview to The Rumpus.

      The most interesting was when the employee admitted to a master password for every account, one that used to be ‘Chuck Norris’ spelled with letters, numbers, and symbols. Now, the password only worked from inside Facebook offices, but I can’t imagine a scenario under which an employee would need to actually log in to the site as anyone else. Wouldn’t there be internal diagnostic tools for viewing that information? A database viewer perhaps?

      There’s also the fact that Facebook logs all of the information pertaining to your usage. That allows it to implement handy features like remembering whose site you visit most so it appears at the top of your searches. But that’s not all that gets logged. There’s also all of the information you’ve ever entered, including the stuff that you’ve deleted.

      I hate to sound like a fear monger, but I think it’s important for people to be aware of how much information is held on Facebook’s servers and how many people have access to that information. It’s more than I thought, on both accounts.

      Fusion Garage unveils the $500 JooJoo

      December 7, 2009 /

      Chandra showing off the JooJoo.The Fusion Garage webcast has come and gone and there’s not much new to report. The company is indeed moving forward with the device formerly known as the CrunchPad, now dubbed JooJoo. It’s going to cost $499 instead of the approximate $300 for the original CrunchPad and will come in just one color.

      I think I’m still siding with Arrington on this one. Chandra Rathakrishnan made a serious attempt to vilify Arrington during his webcast, and he mentioned several times that Arrington had contributed nothing, but then why has so much changed? Was the color scheme Arrington’s idea? And what of the price? Why is suddenly more than $100 more expensive than rumored, even at the highest CrunchPad prices?

      Rathakrishnan’s one decent point came when he was asked if he thought the device could be a success without Arrington’s marketing. He reminded us that all we had from Arrington was blog posts. It’s true, but if that’s really all that Arrington and TechCrunch had contributed I doubt there would be serious legal action underway.

      Unfortunately, the one truth I can see from this is that we won’t be seeing the device under either name. I know JooJoo is supposedly going to launch this week, but I’d be shocked if Arrington let that happen. If this goes to court and Arrington wins, you can bet he’s not going back into business with these guys. If he loses, it’ll likely be after a lengthy process, and JooJoo will be too little, too late. At $500 it’s already way too expensive for what it does.
