So we know it’s coming… the iPad 3. It’s due to be released within the next few months, anywhere from as soon as January to as late as April. But a new rumor is surfacing that the 3rd generation iPad will be out for Steve Jobs birthday, which is February 24th — that is, if Apple can get it out by then. Also, Jobs would’ve been 57 in two months. — More after the break!
There have been software updates to fix games, and even firmware downloads to patch security issues but there’s yet to be found any paid DLC (downloadable content, for all you non-gamers) on a Nintendo system to date. Well, that’s all about to change, now that a new Fire Emblem game is heading onto the 3DS, and will be bringing with it additional content for you to throw your hard earned pennies at Nintendo, cause y’know… they don’t already have enough of it. Reports are also saying that the Wii U will also take advantage of paid DLC. — More after the break!
So last night I personally just finished the Song of Hero quest, which roughly is at the very last leg of your journey to complete the main adventure, and I came out of it unscathed. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case for what could be hundreds of fellow Skywardians (?) who’ve been plagued by a stupid game-breaking glitch. Well, unlike the olden days in which you would have to start all over again, Nintendo will be releasing a specific channel on the Wii to help restore game saves. — More after the break!
In this 1990 video, Steve Jobs (then at NeXT) and Stewart Brand, of Jobs’ favorite publication “The Whole Earth Catalog”, talk about the importance of the Library of Congress and its future. Of course, Steve goes onto talk about how it can be accessed by anyone and everyone if it were all digitized and networked, but he also goes to describe his thoughts on the video game phenamenon, and his belief that games are basically simple simulated learning environments.
We’ve been posting leaks, trailers, and all that good stuff, so by now you’ve more than likely heard the infamous muffled voice of Tom Hardy’s Bane. It suits the character for sure, but is it too much? Some members of the media who were given a sneak peek at the 6-min. prologue complained that Bane sounded a little too “unintelligiable”. And movie-goers also raised their concerns to Twitter when watching both the prologue and trailer. The studio is on Chris Nolan’s back about this but he seems to want to go with what they’ve got, as if it’s part of his master plan. — More after the break!
Where have the days gone? TechTV was a critical part of me becoming the geek-centered person I am today, and watching the Screen Savers nightly at 9PM before heading to bed for the night, mind you I was in middle school, was one of the greatest television programs to ever grace cable airwaves. Now bask in the glory that is Martin Sargent (and no, the old lady set as his Twitter avatar is not him).
Turning the iPod Nano into a wearable watch may have been the first step into this new direction in Apple devices becoming the apparel of the future. Google is also hot on their heels, looking for ways to integrate wearable tech. This isn’t a far off notion as you might think considering for those who are tied to their smartphones and just can’t live without them — having them on your person at all times will make lugging around separate devices save time and also add a new definition to brand recognition. — More after the break!
