Well for starters looks like the game engine hasn’t been upgraded that much, still looks like basic Call of Duty mechanics. BUT. Damn does the campaign look epic and that alone is why I’m buying it. COD MW3 for Single Player and BF3 for MultiPlayer.

Here’s something I wasn’t aware of: Add a texture to HTML text using the CSS property mask-image and a transparent PNG. Currently works only in WebKit but degrades nicely for other browsers. Thanks, Trent.
Super Hot.

Me: I wonder if the PlayStation Network is back up yet. (clicks) PS3: Sure, just sign in and — Whoops, gotta do a software update. (Half an hour passes.) Me: (clicks again) PS3: Sure, just sign in and — Oh dear, looks like you’ll need to change your password. Hackers, you know. From…

That title screams all the problems with Android. Waiting for an App Droid user thats been a hardcore Droid user for a few years WELL TOUGH SHIT.
Could you imagine if an App were released for the AT&T iPhone that wouldnt work on Verizon or on the iPod touch. No you can’t because it doesnt happen because its all one glorious ecosystem.

Normally I’d scream KAHNNNN at the top of my lungs in the office after hearing this news and everyone would look oddly at me…. but theres enough on my plate to play this fall.
Music labels to Google: We're counting on Apple →
parislemon:
For years, all we’ve heard is that the labels were desperately looking to bolster an Apple rival to combat their dominance (and leverage) in the space. Now they’re looking to Apple to make sure those same rivals don’t succeed.
Funny.

Xbox 720 Where Art Thou?
On one hand I’m super excited about the possibility of MS showing off the next Xbox at E3, on the other hand I’m planning on buying a 2nd Xbox this fall to accomdate my wife and my differing gaming schedules *I.E her addiction to all things The Elder Scrolls Skyrim will put a cramp on my schedules BF3, Gears3, and Tom Clancy Ghost Recon game time*. Hopefully well get a little bit...

Microsoft Buys Skype - Devils Advocate
There has been alot of buzz in the past 24 hours on news that Microsoft is buying Skype for 8.5 billion, alot of money to be sure. Most of the comments have been along the lines of what a ripoff, others however have voiced concern on what Microsoft might do to Skype in the coming years.
I’d like to play devils advocate on this because I think, maybe, Microsoft actually might be able to...

WWDC T-30 Days Let the Wishlists Begin
It’s coming. The holiest of holy days for us Apple fans, the WWDC Keynote!
That means it’s time for rumor and prediction season to begin! Hallelujah!
Rumors/Speculation:
I think we can all agree based on the Keynote invite that we’re not going to see a new iPhone this June. Rather that’s most likely going to come in the customary September Apple event.
I doubt we will...
Devir Kahan: The Great Case Debate →
russianpencil:
Devir Kahan:
I don’t use a case on my iPhone, and most probably never will. Apple made the thing to be a beautiful little block of glass. Precision engineered to be as slim and light as possible. It just feels perfect when you hold it. A case - any case - ruins that. If you have an iPhone and use a case, take it off for a second. Just hold it ‘naked’ for a second, and remember...
On Bin Laden Killing Tech Blogging
parislemon:
The information in the image above is not surprising at all. But still pathetic.
Imagine that, you write 35 200-word posts featuring the words “Bin Laden” in the headline and they pull in traffic on the day it’s one of the most searched terms ever.
Were any of those stories really about technology? A few, maybe. But none were given the actual attention that a story of such...

The Facebook Bar
yozuck:
So your friend shares a link to an article, a blog post or something you can’t view directly on Facebook; apprehensively you click it but you don’t like the feeling of leaving your walled garden.
With The Facebook Bar you’ll still feel plugged-in, with the ability to like, comment and share the respective link. With some extra thinking this could become more than a bar but a way to...

Those of us who oppose this administration’s economic and foreign policies have had so many valid points to make.
Yet some have insisted on traveling beyond those valid points…
They have tried to present U.S. politics not as a choice between liberal and conservative but as a choice between American and non-American, between real Americans and between a dangerous dark-skinned...
