  • Activision has a laugh, wants to ‘broaden’ Call of Duty franchise. Because $1 billion is too tiny.

    Activision has a laugh, wants to ‘broaden’ Call of Duty franchise. Because $1 billion is too tiny.

    If Activision were a pro-wrestler, it would be the greatest heel of all time. Better than Ted DiBiase, better than Hollywood Hogan—it would even be better than Anderson Silva and his fantastic manager, Ed Soares. (Not that UFC is pro-wrestling, but some of the same dynamics are at work there.) The amount of heat this company generates over the most insignificant, throwaway comments—it's simply unreal. Nuclear, if you will. Take this latest remark: "We haven’t yet announced the content of [Sledgehammer, a new developer it swallowed]'s game, but it's going to be an innovative take that will further broaden the audience for Call of Duty." Yes, because a game that makes you one billion dollars isn't "broad" enough.

  • Copy and paste coming to Windows Phone 7 later down the road?

    Copy and paste coming to Windows Phone 7 later down the road?

    Microsoft has taken a very Apple-esque approach to the development and launch of Windows Phone 7. Now, before anyone tears into me in the comments with some crazy knee-jerk response, think about it for a second. Developed in the utmost of secrecy? Check. Closed-wall app store? Check. Minimalist user interface? Check. Apple also has a [...]

  • Want to connect your iPhone and Bluetooth keyboard? There’s a (jailbroken) app for that (Update: video!)

    Want to connect your iPhone and Bluetooth keyboard? There’s a (jailbroken) app for that (Update: video!)

    The wait has been long, but now there's finally a means by which to connect your dear, yet almost buttonless, iPhone or iPod touch to a Bluetooth keyboard for some more intense finger tapping action. The project that delivered us this teasing video back in February has at long last reached the application stage, where simple commoners like us can use it to synergize our gear -- provided we've had the wherewithal to free it from Cupertino's overbearing clutches first. The BTstack Keyboard app is now available in exchange for $5 at the Cydia store, so if you want to be the first to write a bestseller on his or her iDevice, there's no time like the present.

    Update: We've done the inevitable and had a quick play with the app ourselves. Pairing our iPhone and keyboard was a veritable cinch, and we were met by delightfully rapid responsiveness throughout, whether using it in Safari, composing text missives, or jotting those novella notes down. You should note that command, cut, copy, paste, and highlighting functions are not yet active, and then hurry along past the break to see a video demo.

  • Multifl0w project teaches Apple a thing or two about iPhone multitasking

    Multifl0w project teaches Apple a thing or two about iPhone multitasking

    Though it's relented on MMS and copy / paste, Apple has stubbornly, steadfastly continued to hold the line on the multitasking issue throughout the iPhone's two and a half-year career. Though it has a point about traditional multitasking burning through power, competing smartphone platforms -- scratch that, every competing platform -- has proven that it's still plenty possible to get a full days' life out of a battery while running a full host of apps in the background. Of course, the jailbroken iPhone community knows this full well, which is why there are a number of utilities available for backgrounding apps, but maybe none quite as slick as the just-released multifl0w. Taking a cue from the Pre, multifl0w adds backgrounded apps to a horizontally-scrollable gallery of cards; the only thing it's missing is a swipe gesture for quitting, but it's a minor point. Apple, we know you're seeing how good this is -- is there a defensible reason for why we still have to h4x0r our handsets to get this?

    [Thanks, Jai]
