Chopper 2 Uses Your iPhone As a Fancy iPad Controller

We’ve already seen some innovative uses of the iPhone in iPad gaming—specifically, as a pricey tile board for Scrabble—but Chopper 2’s iPhone-as-controller is one of the first of its kind. How’s it look? Um… awesome. https://gizmodo.com/the-real-cost-of-scrabble-for-ipad-5508312 The iPhone (or iPod Touch) controls the game over bluetooth, and shouldn’t face any approval hurdles.

A Little Chip Company Called Intrinsity, and the iPad A4 Chip’s Secret Recipe

There’s not much secret left in the sauce for the iPad’s A4 chip—it’s a faster, customized version of what’s inside the iPhone 3GS. But the recipe probably comes from a tiny chip design firm Apple purchased, called Intrinsity. https://gizmodo.com/deconstructing-the-ipads-a4-chip-its-still-a-giant-iph-5510191 The informed speculation is that Intrinsity’s custom 1GHz ARM chip, codenamed Hummingbird, is in fact the…

Experts: Kindle Helps You Sleep, iPad Causes Insomnia

According to sleep experts, the iPad’s bright LCD display could be hampering your body’s ability to create melatonin. Translation: Insomnia.
