Behold. . . The Power of SCIENCE!

Another Ode

Twas the night before Apple, and all ’round the net,
All the rumors were flying, but no real news yet.
Speculations were read, with the utmost of care,
With the hopes that the keynote, soon would be aired.
Apple faithful were restless, their iPhones held steady,
In hopes that Cupertino soon would be ready

Xbox Live vs PC

This is really more about the paid online service that comes with the Xbox and specifically, how it works with one game.
Specifically, in this case, Borderlands.

WWDC

So the WWDC came and went and I’m disappointed, as usual.  Still nothing compelling enough for me to buy into the iPhone as a service.  It’s like cable for me, I guess.  This monthly fee is in addition to the apps that I would have to pay money for anyway.
Gaming on the platform is right [...]
