Brandon DavenportMassive Explosion at Foxconn forcing change
Massive Explosion at Foxconn forcing change
On Friday, three workers died and 15 others were injured after an explosion shook the ground at a Foxconn factory in China on Friday evening. Foxconn is the leading supplyer of Apple products, and yet working conditions are horrid. Apple has become frontman when it comes to blame, but consumers demand better products at lower prices, and companies are forced to out-source manufacturing to other countries to meet those demands — but what really disturbs us is the fact that as soon as people die, or get injured at Foxconn, all the focus goes to “iPhones”… what about those people?

This is where we introduce you to SuperSonic, an iOS app that lists similar artists and streams you 30 second clips for you to judge. — More after the break!

Modern Warfare 3's First Gameplay Trailer
Modern Warfare 3's First Gameplay Trailer
Well, after the giant Kotaku leak last week, Infinity Ward and Sledghhammer have come out and shown the first official gameplay trailer for Modern Warfare 3. They seem to be billing this as their fictional World War 3 but the real war between them and Battlefield 3 will be a true sight to behold. Let’s hope the game itself turns out to be better then it’s previous modern installment!

Awesome Gmail Desktop App could be coming soon
So, there have been many Email Desktop apps popping up in the past while (mostly for Mac), and most of them support Gmail, but there haven’t really been any great Gmail only apps. There are some features in Gmail that don’t translate to other email providers, so sometimes they are stripped out of these Email apps to make sure the experience is consistent, but what if there was an app just for Gmail, and what if it worked on a multitude of OS’s?

Green with Envy trailer -- Oh yeah, it's actually called "The Muppets"
Green with Envy trailer -- Oh yeah, it's actually called "The Muppets"
It’s been a while since the Muppets have appeared in any kind of theatrical production, or even making an appearance on tv for that matter. Disney thinks it’s the right time to bring them out of hiatus and introduce them to a new generation — the hipsters who are like “I was into the Muppets Show before you were born”.

Dead or Alive 3DS canceled due to boobies
Well, maybe not canceled around the world, but at least in Denmark, Sweden, and the Norway. So what’s all the fuss about? Apparently, the DOA girls themselves and the fact that they’re all underage — mix that with the game’s “figure” mode, and you have the perfect reason for some to freak out as if its kiddy porn. — More after the break!
