Portal 2 in Game Informer, scanned for your pleasure

I haven’t even looked at these yet. I saw them on Reddit and immediately came here to put them up. So that’s why this post is so short. Wait, I just read this: “Portal was a test bed. Portal 2…

Infinity Ward vs. Activision: Whose side are you on?

I’m sorry, but I’m absolutely loving this Infinity Ward-Activision brouhaha. Here you have one of the most respected developers out there at odds with a publisher that must seriously have no idea what it’s doing. If Activision thinks it can…

Video: Hasty hacker hobbles together a Windows Phone 7 skin for older WinMo phones

Wowza. Consider me impressed. It took Microsoft 3 years to develop Windows Phone 7 Series — but its only taken 2 weeks for some far-too-talented dabbler to recreate the look and feel of the new OS as a skin for…

Dear Internet: Please grow up re: Toyota zombie ad

Really, Internet? Now you’re being facetious. Thisis the ad for the new Toyota Corolla. It has zombies in it (“Equipped for a zombie attack or just…life”). It’s now “controversial” in light of the 34 deaths caused by all those Toyota…

All I wanna do is zooma-zoom-zoom: Overclocking the Droid

Some crazy programmers have overclocked the Droid to 1.1GHz, making it faster than the Nexus one. The Droid usually runs at about 600MHz so bumping it up to 1.1 was fairly dangerous. However, with a little tweaking the boys at…

JO-ZERO: Super-agile, super-cool mini humanoid (video)

A big problem almost any robot nowadays has is limited agility. While this isn’t an issue for industrial and other “practical” robots, humanoids can only move in a slow, mechanical and chopping motion. Honda’s Asimo, for example, is considered super-advanced,…

America the beautiful: Mother calls 911 because her kid was playing GTA past bedtime. Yeah.

Gotta love cops. A woman in Boston got mad at her 14-year-old son for being up at 2:30am playing Grand Theft Auto. (At least the kid wasn’t smoking dust in the street at that hour.) In fact, she got so…

Surprise! There will be another iPhone next year

After 3 years of back-to-back new iPhones, it probably doesn't take a whole lot of guts (or brains, for that matter) to predict that Apple will be announcing a new iPhone in 2010. But when this guy comes along and…
