Hitler Hates the New Digg v4 - Video
There has been an unbelievable amount of negative feedback on the new Digg v4, and Digg’s hardcore users seem to be closing their accounts, and moving elsewhere (aka: Reddit). There’s talks that Digg is going to die off in less than 2 months, but that seems a bit far fetched.
Kevin Rose recently posted an article on his blog, underlining some core issues with the latest release, and some pretty vague answers to leave us puzzled. Our question is, has the new Digg officially been a major screw up, or do you digg it?

Asus NX90Jq Now On Sale: Dual Trackpads FTW
Almost 9 months after its CES debut, Asus’s dual trackpad beast of a laptop is finally ready to go on sale. At a price upwards of $2000, it certainly won’t be “bringing something previously available to a privileged few to a mass market,” as stated by Asus’s CEO. But the Bang & Olufsen designed exterior isn’t the only thing worth mentioning about this 18.4” laptop.

Apple says "Apps can't require user registration before allowing access to the content"“It seems to imply that apps cannot require registration and if they do, they still have to function without an account. I cannot imagine most companion apps to web services would be very useful without an account. For example, would you want to use an account-less Facebook app?” — Read it Later Blog

Verizon bound Desire HD/EVO 4G-ish Device Leaked
Remember that Desire HD device we saw leaked a while back? It seems that the brother of the EVO 4G is now back with a couple more hi-res clear shots from Boy Genius. We get comparison shots with an iPhone 4 and a super clear shot of the back outlining HTC Sense, an 8 megapixel camera, and a kickstand.

Griffin PartyDock Turns the iPhone into a Gaming Console
Griffin decided that playing games on one small iPhone screen just wouldn’t do so they filed the PartyDock with the FCC to solve this problem. Using this docking station, you will be able to play iPad/iPhone games using just one device and 4 included wireless controllers. Of course, you won’t be able to play just any game you please. Griffin will be releasing PartyDock specific games that allow the accessory to function properly. No word on pricing or availability but expect an official announcement from the company soon!

Lets sue some companies!” — Paul Allen, entrepreneur and cofounder of Microsoft has decided to create the biggest abomination in patent lawsuit history — he has filed a lawsuit against 11 companies for infringements on his Web search patents.

Red Dead Redemption has the Funniest Glitches in History
Red Dead Redemption has the Funniest Glitches in History
I have to admit, I have never played Red Dead Redemption, neither do I have the desire — but seing this made me realize that part of what makes videogames awesome is the fact that they’re never perfect. Personally, after seeing the donkey lady, I was laughing so hard I may have broken my will to “keep it together”. These are by far, the most insane, funny and down-right weird glitches in videogame history — that is, if their not spoofed.
Having dipped my toes into the videogame developing world (aka: modding Grand theft auto), I know that you can switch around textures and models for different players and NPC’s in the game — so this may in fact be as simple as accessing the PS3’s filesystem and switching around some models and textures. I still hope that this is genuine, and I didn’t spit Pepsi all over my desk for no reason.
