I like Civilization Revolution for iPad. Even wrote a collection of Tips and Tricks for Civ Revolution. Well seems there is a Civ Revolution, v 2.4.1 to be exact. Well, not really new, just a new version. The biggest change in multiplier. What you can do now is invite a few friends (or enemies) into… Read More

Called “AR Engine”, this development comes with an agreement from ST-Ericsson that will lead the integration of the chipset in ST-Ericsson’s new mobile platforms.

A repost from VentureBeat and super funny. A bad day for the Burger King social media team, but probably the best thing to happen to Burger King on Twitter. The comments from the Twitterverse about this are the best. Definitely, “Have it your way!” http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/18/burger-kings-twitter-hacked/ … Read More
Over the past few years I have been engaging a lot more with various entities in Denmark. One such group that has recently caught my attention is the Danish library system. Now I remember coming across this report years back about the city of Aarhus Main Library’s Transformation Lab. Recently Dave Arendash and I were… Read More
Normally when I buy furniture, I do like most people, go the to store, endless number of stores, and hopefully find something that looks good, fits, and in my price range, I buy it. Well this time I decided to expand to looking online and went with Amazon. Mistake. I bought 4 chairs and table… Read More
So, like any story, there seems to be 8 sides to this coin. As I just wrote about a few hours ago, Tesla’s founder and CEO Elon Musk claims that the Article written by John Broder in the New York Times claiming that the Tesla Model S was not matching claimed range and in fact… Read More
I’m already in the market to buy an electric or extended hybrid so I tend to pay attention to these story more then most people. Now, I do not exactly consider the New York Times the go to publication for news on electric cars, however, like most people, I normally accept anything I read in… Read More
Thanks to Reddit for these. Want to see what MEGA TONNES of snow looks like? check out these. If you see a few other cools pics, let me know, I’ll add them. … Read More
OK, that was a really misleading title, but in a way, it sums up what I have observed in the last few years. There are so many people with smart phones, that as I’m sitting on the train typing this, 85% of the people in my car are looking at phones or tablets, headphone in,… Read More
If you are trying to access Cydia and having issues, dont worry, its simply under heavy load at the moment. The new jailbreak evati0n just broke today, so everyone who have an iPhone 5 who has been waiting for a jailbreak has jumped at it. Odds this will last for a few days as people… Read More
And its out. Called evasi0n they claim to Jailbreak 6.x iOS’s, untethered, on the A5 chips found on the iPhone 5 and future Apple mobile devices I’m sure…. Till the A6 comes out. I have not tried this jailbreak myself, and as I ALWAYS say, give this a few days to a week to be… Read More
So I am visiting the Netherlands and got a chance to check out this augmented reality Facebook application called Free Ride. It launched last week and was developed for YoungWorks by my friends at The Young Generation. My Dutch isn’t the greatest, actually I don’t know any, so expect a follow up interview explaining more about… Read More
I just got a heads up on this. Go to this address. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/feature-packs And remember, you only have till the end of the month before the price of Windows 8 jumps from $40 to $200. If you have a PC, ESPECIALLY if you have an old one, get it. … Read More
I was around during the PC wars of the 90’s, watch people piss on Windows when XP came out, then piss on Vista (although Vista deserved it) and then 7, and now everyone is hating on Windows 8 because of “Metro”. Screw off. While I think the whole apps thing on Apps on Windows 8… Read More
As I wrote yesterday, it is now illegal to unlock your phone to work on another carriers network. This will make quite a few people unhappy, especially those who make a business out of helping people get the codes needed to unlock their phones. But they are not taking this laying down, already there is… Read More
For most people, probably not. Just in case you do not know what unlocking is; unlocking your cell phone allows you to use a phone carrior other then what is ‘locked’ to your phone. For example, if you bought an iphone that is locked to AT&T, you can ONLY use AT&T. However, if you ‘unlock’… Read More
Tomorrow, Jan 26, if you buy a smart cell phone, its illegal to unlock it to work on a different carrier. If you already have a phone or buy one today, you are safe. This has caused many people to think that jailbreaking will be illegal tomorrow. No. Jailbreaking is still legal. Which leads to… Read More
Seriously?!! Apple is already planning on making a new iPhone? If the iPhone5 what such a crash and burn (as alot of people think), shouldn’t they be taking a a little time to improve on some of the features that the iPhones are lacking? Android OS has quite a few things that put them ahead… Read More
I have been using Windows 8 on my 5+ year old PC laptop for awhile now and have been happy enough with it. In fact, I always encourage anyone I know to update to Windows 8. Its worth it. The “metro” part of win8 however, has never been of much value to me. Actually, no… Read More
Here’s an interesting AR app that launched today in Australia. The TrackMyMacca’s app takes Australians ‘behind the scenes’ of their food, showing them where their food has come from. I find this to be a great concept in adding transparency to any supply chain, but feel that the information for US McDonald’s woud have an… Read More
