    Why play through Modern Warfare 2 single-player when you can watch this 60-second synopsis?

    Is saying “I play Modern Warfare 2 for the single-player” the new “I read Playboy for the articles”? It might as well be. But get this: I play Modern Warfare 2 for the single-player. I stink at multi-player, so why even bother? That said, I know that many of you bought the game merely to play the multi-player, and thus have no idea what the single-player's story is about. Thank God for this video, then.

  • “World’s Sexiest App”? Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models Now Clutch Themselves On The iPhone.

    “World’s Sexiest App”? Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models Now Clutch Themselves On The iPhone.

    Posted on July 21, 2009 | No Comments
    The print magazine business isn't doing so hot right now, but Sports Illustrated might just have found a new business model: selling an iPhone app featuring models from its 2009 Swimsuit Issue. Although the Swimsuit issue came out in February, the app just hit the iTunes store today (iTunes link). Marketed as the "World's Sexiest App" with a 17+ age rating, it costs $2.99. I'm sure it's going to make a mint. What do you get for $2.99? Photos of 20 models including Brooklyn Decker and Danica Patrick in various states of bikini nothingness and "breathtaking bodypainting videos." There are also other "intimate" videos for each model. Does Playboy have an iPhone app? It might save them too.

The short story here is that NASA will not have the budget to keep the huge space station in orbit. It seems [...]

    Howard Stern not on the Sirius XM iPhone app because of ‘contractual rights thing’

    Posted on June 23, 2009 | No Comments
    So how's the Sirius XM iPhone app treating you? I hear good things! (Remember: I don't have an iPhone, and I never will.) But here's something that probably should be brought up: the lack of Howard Stern. He's not my cup of tea, and my loyalties lie elsewhere, as you know, but to deny his show's importance to Sirius XM is silly. Anyway, Mr. Stern explained yesterday why his show is nowhere to be found on the iPhone app. Citing a “contractual rights thing,” Mr. Stern then said he hopes to be on the app “one day.” Hoo hoo.

    Playboy says Roku is getting Hulu

    Posted on June 3, 2009 | No Comments
    The latest issue of Playboy is stating that Hulu support is coming to Roku. Not that Playboy isn't a reliable technology source, but we're still a tad skeptical. Hopefully the support is coming though, not for Roku's sake, but because that would mean TiVo and Moxi shouldn't be that far behind.
