Bloons - Today's Time-Waster (Download Squad)

Feb 14th 2008 11:46AM Great time waster. Looks like Widgetbox has it available as a widget if you want to add it to your own site:

iTunes: Free Tuesday (TUAW.com)

Oct 3rd 2007 12:48AM You probably know this but if you click these links on an iPhone (and iPod touch), they launch the new Wifi Music Store. Cool.

Apple introduces My iTunes Widgets (TUAW.com)

Aug 9th 2007 11:48PM Looks like you can grab these from widgetbox as well: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/my-itunes . They seem to let you change the widget afterwards and add it pretty easily to a bunch of popular places. I don't see install to wordpress but i guess you can use the widget code.

They also have a iMix-based widget that lets you build it off your iTunes playlist.

Is it worth watching X-Play to see some No More Heroes footage? (Joystiq Nintendo)

Jul 3rd 2007 11:18AM I would pose this better question, "Is it worth watching X-Play because of Morgan Webb?" And if you ever have seen this show, you would know, the answer is unequivocally "no". Even a rather attractive girl can't help this lame show. I agree with Bad Mojo, this is the epitome of suck. It's a template of what not to do for a show like this.

DS Daily: GBA stickout (Joystiq Nintendo)

Feb 13th 2007 10:53AM Like others have commented, I don't mind too much since I don't play that many GBA games much anymore. But I do wonder why game companies don't take more advantage of this fact. For example. I'm playing Final Fantasy V right now for the GBA and the tumor bugs me a bit. Why doesn't Square Enix just release a compilation DS card that has both Final Fantasy V and VI on it? I'd totally be a sucker for that and buy it. The same thing goes for the two Metroids for the GBA and the Marios. Give me 2 to 4 games on one Nintendo DS card and I'll be set.

Badges, I need some stinking badges (Download Squad)

Jan 5th 2007 4:29PM You can get this off of Widgetbox too, which makes it a little easier to configure:

Engadget Black Friday giveaways (part 1): Xbox 360 Premium pack! (Engadget)

Nov 24th 2006 3:25PM I sure would like a new system. This 360 looks like just the ticket.

How to clean your Apple Keyboard (TUAW.com)

Nov 17th 2006 7:52PM I can attest to the suggestion to just putting the whole keyboard in the dishwasher. I ended up trying this and the thing came out looking good as new. You do have to wait about 3 days and make sure you don't have any heat settings on.

I got the idea from this old boing boing post:

Apple has 13.3-inch MacBooks on the way? (Engadget)

Apr 5th 2006 6:25PM Um, sorry, my post link didn't come through last time:
Why It Will Be iBook and Not MacBook
http://www.creative-toolbox.com/2006/02/07/why-it-will-be-ibook-and-not-macbook/

Essentially, the iMac would've had to been called just Mac to follow the naming convention if they called the new iBooks, MacBooks since more than likely the new PowerMacs will be called Mac Pros.

Apple has 13.3-inch MacBooks on the way? (Engadget)

Apr 5th 2006 6:15PM Funny, I was ruminating on whether the new iBooks will be called iBooks or MacBooks a couple of months ago. I believe they'll stick to be calling iBooks. Read my post on why I think it will be iBook and not MacBook and please comment if you don't agree with my line of reasoning. Of course, I could be completely off.
