Call of Duty World At War?

The new Call of Duty game has been announced. It is apparently going to be set in World War 2 and will feature the same breath taking graphics that were in CoD: MW. It is also claimed that it will have vehicles online now, as well as some new perks on the single player.

Thanks to Spike for the heads up!

Everything you always wanted to know about Lego

Yes, I’m going a bit off topic considering what we normally post here, but I thought this was an interesting find that I thought I’d share with you.

You ever know how many Lego bricks are produced per minute? How many have ever been produced? What’s the best selling set? What has been the worst? Do they recycle? How did they survive the crisis that almost killed them? How successful is Mindstorms? What are the actual names of each of the pieces? What are there no blondes in the Lego sets? Why are there extra pieces sometimes? Some of these questions are just ridiculous, but today we have the official answers from Lego.

Microsoft then and now

Who would have predicted all the way back in 1978 that this collection of nerds and hippies would come to rule the desktop? Back then a PC in every home was just a vision and as Bill Gates said, “640KB of RAM ought to be enough for anybody”. That’s the original Microsoft re-photographed 30 years later (except for Bob Wallace who sadly died back in 2002), just in time for Bill Gates to go into retirement.

iPhone 2.0 Firmware and App Store on July 11th

Despite some recent reports about an early Firmware 2.0 release, we recently discovered that Apple’s iPhone 3G press release pinpoints July 11th to the be day of the 2.0 software launch:

iPhone 2.0 software will be available on July 11th as a free software update via iTunes 7.7 or later for all iPhone customers

This also correlates to what Apple and AT&T representatives are telling enterprise customers.

Meanwhile, one analyst believes that Apple has increased their order for 3G iPhones to 15 million for 2008, well above their goal of 10 million iPhones. Finally, we’ve heard that some locations have already been seeded with an iPhone 3G in anticipation of the upcoming launch.

Six disappointing things about the iPhone

The new Apple iPhone, due to be launched next month is destined to be 4.7 ounces of awesome. You can browse the web, listen to music, and flip through your voicemail messages - only a lot cheaper, but will it be all it is hyped up to be?

The Cost

Imperfections still lurk, despite Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs’ attention to detail. While the new iPhone is a lot cheaper than the previous version, $199 vs. $499, it will still be no cheaper to own. In fact ,it will actually in the long run cost as much as $160 more, as AT&T have decided to up the price, to pay for the subsidized iPhone. Gizmodo said that it is a small price to pay for such an awesome device, although The New York Times feel it could even be step backwards for consumers.

Fluid

Today I’m doing something different from the news post. Today I’m going to introduce you to a thing called Fluid. So what is Fluid? Fluid is a program for Macs that allows you to create programs for accessing your favourite Web 2.0 Applications. It’s sounds pointless at first, but imagine having say, Google Docs as a desktop application. That’s what this program makes possible. In fact, I’m actually using it right now for my Stunich admin panel. Don’t believe me? Well here’s a screenshot:  

See? All I did was create a Wordpress application, and there you go.
Anyway, enough of my bragging, here’s the site.
