How To: Get and Keep track of Xbox 360 Achievements

If you're an Xbox 360 owner then you're familiar with achievements and the elusive "Achievement Unlocked" sound. Your gamerscore may mean nothing to you, but then again there are some of you out there who just can't get enough points. Sure, they don't give you anything in return, but it realistically does add a ton of replay to games you wouldn't have cared to play over and over again for those extra 10G points - they are a lot like the "High Scores" of the 80's. 

Curious, though, how do you keep track of all those achievements, and how do you find the ones you aren't quite sure how to get? Youtube can be one answer, but searching that place for one single video can be tedious and outright exhausting. So why not go to a one stop shop for those achievements?

t3ch Editorial: What the Apple Tablet Could Mean for the Future

Today is the day. We're literally hours away from what analysts and "experts" have been clamoring over for months: Apple's iSlate, iBook, iTablet - whatever it's called - announcement. 

If it's what people are expecting then would you go out and buy one? I mean, what would a tablet be used for anyway? With Kindles, Smart Phones, Netbooks, and Desktops, what void could an over glorified tablet fill?

What You Can Expect At Apple's Announcement Besides A Tablet

We are all excited to see what new things Apple reveals today and of course we are expecting a Tablet. But there are more things that should be announced alongside it that people have forgotten or just don't care about because of the Tablet. I predict a number of things including the Tablet, an updated Mac Pro, Macbook Pro, iPhone OS 4.0 and many things added to the iTunes store.

See in detail what each product might include...

Video: the Best Twitter app for iPhone - Twitbird

the TwitBird iPhone and iPod Touch app

This is simply supposed to be a great Twitter client for the iPhone or iTouch and should allow you to read and tweet with ease. Before I downloaded this app, I stared at the “download this app” screen in the app store and I thought to myself, “do I really need another Twitter app, or do I just have a weird fetish?”. After I tapped “Download now” purely out of curiosity, I soon realized after 10 minutes of using the app I decided to delete all my other Twitter apps and give this one a page all to its own.

Microsoft sued over MS Points system

Everyone who has owned an Xbox 360 console has usually had a complaint that sounded similar to this: "I don't want to buy $25 worth of Points for something that only costs me $15". Usually those point values end up with a strange amount in your account, leaving you helpless to use them for anything until you buy some more to fill your cache. It's this primary complaint that has prompted Philadelphia attorney Samuel Lassoff to file a class-action lawsuit against Microsoft claiming that Microsoft is engaging in a "scheme to unjustly enrich itself through their fraudulent handling" of Xbox Live Accounts.

Google Voice Comes To iPhone Thanks To HTML5

No need to worry about all that legal mambo jumbo, Google has finally bypassed the App Store by using HTML5. The app should work on any phone that accepts HTML5 but as of now, it is geared towards the Apple and Palm devices. The app includes everything you might think it would, SMS messages, checking you inbox, and of course voicemails. To make phone calls you will select the person you wish to call, then Google Voice will prompt you to call Google who will transfer you to the person you want. The reason for this is so you can pay lower rates for domestic and international calls. The only problem of course is that your call history will be scrambled all over the place with random numbers. Hey, it's not perfect but I'm surely not complaining. Hopefully the FCC resolves the Apple vs. Google battle soon so that we can have an actual app that works even better. For now we thankfully have voice.google.com to help us access our Google Voice.
