PSX4droid brings thousands of emulated PlayStation games to your Android phone (Download Squad)

Aug 6th 2010 8:24PM "First things first, PSX4droid isn't a free app: it costs $5.99 on the Android Market. That said, given how gaming experience will vary wildly depending on what phone you own, I would recommend you torrent PSX4droid first before spending money on something that might not work."

"Update: you can also buy something from the Android Market and get a full refund within 24 hours -- so you can do that instead."

"So I can see! Odd that it's in the small print on the actual Purchase page, rather than an actual 'try it now' button on the app's Market page."

Oh the irony!

Use The Tracktor to track Amazon price shifts (Download Squad)

May 3rd 2010 8:10PM Your mileage may vary.... It didn't get much when I tried it, so maybe something broke.

Tried a bunch of old DVDs on my wishlist, and each one came back with
"March 04, 2010 is the earliest date availble with price information."
Which is annoying because I have been manually tracking a few of them for a few months before that...

Also tried it with some old video games that frequently fluctuate in price due to "offered by" sellers taking advantage of amazon's listing system and having their offer listed first. Same thing.

Tried the above example and it worked, so I doubt it is my web browser.

Steve Jobs to porn viewers: "Buy an Android phone." (Download Squad)

Apr 20th 2010 4:05PM Hay Steve, what is with your legal department suing and DMCAing sites like Mac Rumors over your lousy serial number format?

BTW, you might also want to sue google:

Hiding helpful consumer information for finding out what Macs suffer from what production issues; maybe there will be an Android app for that...

No, it isn't the emulator, the controls actually are that horrible.

FedEx Senseaware tracks everything about your package, probably causes OCD (Engadget)

Nov 27th 2009 6:07PM Now if only they stopped leaving the darned packages just sitting there outside of your apartment in plain sight instead of the office like all other decent package shippers...

I also hate it when places don't flat out say who they are using for shipping until well after you order.
