Google Mobile App For iPad Now Approved and Available

If you’d previously downloaded the Google Mobile app for iPad, you might have noticed it’s changed recently—as Apple has finally approved it.

Do Not Watch Samsung 3DTV If Drunk Or Preggers

Samsung’s 3DTVs come with a list of warnings as long as you are tall. Basically, you shouldn’t watch 3DTV under the same conditions that you wouldn’t drive a car. Better wear a seatbelt, then.

Post-Apocalyptic Moscow Looks Like A Surreal Dream-World

I’ve got a real soft spot for post-apocalyptic scenery. It reached a peak when I visited Chernobyl a few years ago, and after seeing these wallpapers of the Kremlin an apocalypse doesn’t look too bad now, does it? A commenter at the English Russia site puts it best: “After the apocalypse you will still be…

Hitachi Working On Glasses-Less 3D LCD

Another company has fallen down the glasses-less 3DTV route. Hitachi’s going to use Sharp’s parallax barrier technology (supposedly used in the Nintendo 3DS and that mysterious StreamTV panel) on some mean LCDs, hopefully just as slim as their previous models. https://gizmodo.com/giz-explains-3d-technologies-5084121 Last year at CEATEC Hitachi showed off a 10-inch prototype with a VGA screen,…

Blotto: Space Miner!

HOW GOOD IS SPACE MINER. The answer is INCREDIBLE GOOD. It’s probably the best original game to hit the iPhone. Imagine Nintendo made Asteroids, adding a mild upgrade path on top of extremely gratifying space flyingabout.

Flip SlideHD Review: Too Much To Be Good Enough

The pocket cam’s claim to fame is being “good enough.” The Flip SlideHD strives to be a little more, adding a sliding touchscreen for watching videos on the camera itself. That’s biting off more than it can, or should, chew. The genius behind the Flip pocket cam was simplifying the needlessly complicated process of shooting…

When It’s Superman Vs. Jackie Brown, Television Wins

After last week’s Smallville (in which Clark explained how he could control his supersonic orgasms), this week’s episode – “Checkmate” – was a nice palate cleanser. It wasn’t revolutionary, but where else can you see Pam Grier versus Martian Manhunter? First off, circa 1970-something, Pam Grier used to look like this. Now that we’ve gotten…
