Apple products trigger "religious" reaction in user's brains

The photo above shows a computer store, on a regular day opening their doors at 9AM as always. The thing that makes that day different is that they have an extra product on their shelf, and today is the day they decide to let people buy it. The company we’re talking about is Apple, and having hundreds of people crowded around each of their 300 of stores for the release of their new product is a pretty regular thing — but doesn’t this seem a bit strange, for a computer company?

Remembering the Sega Channel

Sometime in the mid 1990’s Sega teamed up with a handful of tv cable companies and brought my elementary school self, and countless other children, the wonders of having access to upto 50 games on my Sega Genesis, all via an adapter that fit snuggly on the console’s slot and connected to a cable box. All I can remember of those times are sparkles and glitter, oh and Comix Zone. — We remember the Sega Channel after the break!

Kevin Rose leaves Digg - The story of why it happened

Long ago, in a land not to far from here, an episode of the Screen Savers aired. Kevin Rose decided to give viewers a look at a little experiment he had been working on for a while. It was simple, incomplete and lacked any sense of design, but the idea was there. It was a service that would change the web forever — this was Digg.com.

Crysis 2 Multiplayer from the perspective of a n00b

I have confessed countless times to friends that I am by no stretch of the word a “gamer”, nor do I ever wish to be. It is by sheer curiosity that I pre-order this game and try to beat that game that in the span of my 19 years on this earth, I have beaten only 2 video games — Halo: Combat Evolved and Crysis (all on easy difficulty of course) and you are sitting there, wondering why the hell a low-life like me is writing an article about Crysis 2. Read on and I’ll tell you why…

Why I'm not upgrading to the iPad 2 and you shouldn't either

As a warning, I really have no outline whatsoever for this article. I’m seriously just venting over my thoughts of what the iPad 2 and should’ve been. And in a way you could say this is for all of you who went out and bought the original iPad last year, and now are in pondering over ordering a new, thinner one.

So if you don’t mind a little spontaneous ranting, which shouldn’t come to anyone’s surprise considering you’re reading this on the internet, then don’t say I didn’t warn you. — More after the break!

Will Battlefield 3 be worth your time?

So, Battlefield 3 just got a proper gameplay trailer and it’s looking absolutely goregeous. It’s apparently pre-alpha and if that’s the case, that’s pretty unbelieveable. The demo, as per usual with these kinds of things, was in an extremely controlled environment, everything perfectly planned to show off the engine, gameplay and sound design. The question, at least to me, isn’t will it be successful, it’s where and how it will be successful.
