Chip gets a TouchPad, HP gives up on PCs (and TouchPads), Robert Scoble doesn’t love Twitter anymore, Chrome extensions can be riddled with malware, and Apple might be making its own chipsets for Macbooks after all.
Nintendo’s woes, Apple’s secret and subtle plans for social, GTA is the root cause of the London riots (or possibly not) iOS 5′s hidden voice controls, and high praise for the under appreciated Bioshock 2.
The iCloud rises! As does the Apple TV, wifi and Canadian politicians, MTV supplanted by Youtube, and much, much more!
Lion! New Apple gear! Nintendo on the way down, Lego as the perfect animation medium, and trouble with Google’s G+. All that and a whole lot more on the newest episode of Platformer!
Lots and lots of Apple news and speculation, including the possibility of an iPad Pro, Zynga being Zynga, Free to Play taking names and kicking buttocks, and lots of banter about app stores and ecosystems. Plus we sorta kinda lament the move from tinkerer/geek toy to everyday device our good friend the computer has taken in the last few years.
Even though we’re nominally a gaming podcast, the disastrous release of Final Cut Pro X deserved some attention…and Chip managed to wrangle things back to gaming with a comparison between the FCP X launch and Star Wars: Galaxies debacle of many moons ago. Also, Marathon is coming to iOS, the iPhone 5 is apparently Apple’s first step to world gaming domination, and the United States Supreme Court has just ruled games are a form of expression and thus subject to free speech protection. Heady stuff. Enjoy!
Mac Pros and Minis incoming in Auust? Airplay mirroring works great in iOS5! New York Post blocking Safari access via iPad? iCade + iAmiga = Awesome! Explanation points? Explanation points!
New iPhone in September? According to some telecom guy in the UAE, yes. According to us, no. Warren rescues his Boot Camp partition from BSOD hell, Todd makes a game, and Chip is victorious in getting publishers to charge us all more money. All in this week’s Fruitygamer!
No Chip this week, but Warren and Todd stared a short newslist right in the eye and digressed like the strapping gentlemen they are. WWDC speculation, Mac gamers as second class citizens (or are they?), an EA memorial day sale, and more!
Upgradable (nor not) iMacs, Playbook bashing, second thoughts about Atomix, and Portal mods…for PC only. Boo! New episode of Fruitygamer! Yay!
