AppleTV gets 5.1 Dolby Netflix, MLB.tv & NBA League Pass

I was wondering when Apple would get around to adding more content to the current AppleTV, it was just a matter of time.  Today comes announcements of both MLB’s and NBA’s live game video streaming services are now on the AppleTV 2.  You’ll have to be a subscriber of either service to take advantage of it, but it’s good to see things starting to happen on the AppleTV.   What other services would you like to see on the AppleTV? Also, along with today’s AppleTV update, 5.1 Dolby Digital sound is now enabled in the Netflix app (for select titles), which […]

What's New in iOS 4.3

Apple’s latest update for your favorite iDevices is out, and you’re probably wondering what’s new. The 4.3 release isn’t as flashy as some of the previous releases, but let’s quickly go over what to look for. What devices is it for? iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 (GSM only) iPod Touch (3rd/2009 and 4th/2010 generation) iPad 1 and iPad 2 All other devices are left out in the cold.  No Verizon iPhone update this time around which already has some of the features from 4.3.  At some point, expect iOS versions to converge again across all current devices, like 4.2 did […]

PSN Down for a Whopping 11 Hours Today

  The Playstation Network will be down for what seems to be an inordinate amount of time today — 11 hours — for “maintenance.” Sony says the downtime will start at 8:00am Pacific and will come back online at 7:00pm Pacific. During that time, the Playstation Store, online games, friends and messaging will be offline. Read Sony’s details here. Any bets the maintenance window running longer than expected? I’ll take the over.

Google releases stable version of Chrome 10 - TechSpot

Google releases stable version of Chrome 10 – TechSpot.  I have recently moved from my long favorite web browser Firefox to Chrome.  Originally, it was going to be a week long trial.  But quite frankly, after a day or so, it was obvious that Chrome had better performance than Firefox. Google upped the browser war 2.0 again by releasing Chrome 10 today. Some of the key highlights of today’s upgrade involve security & speed: 23 Security Vulnerabilites fixed Faster JavaScript engine Better malware reporting Sandboxing Adobe Flash on Windows (because someone has to) As Firefox marches towards its long awaited […]

A post on the Crysis 2 Ea Blog alerts us to a new patch for the Crysis 2 multiplayer demo.  A few “welcome” changes in the list, the most important being the un-consolification of the demo, by changing the text on the first screen from “Press start to begin” to “Press enter to begin. ”  Also, now the servers show no ping at all.  Nice work guys. The patch will auto-update the next time you launch the game, and will also be pushed out via Steam. “Press Start to Begin” has been changed to “Press Enter to Begin” on the […]

Games on our radar for 2011

Here’s an unscientific, fairly lazy list of gaming-related titles that caught our eye for 2011. Inclusion in this list is not a stamp of approval. We’ve listed hotly-anticipated titles right alongside games that we absolutely dread, games whose mere prospect may knot our guts in a clenched ball of searing terror. We do our best to keep this updated as new games or release dates are announced, but feel free to post any corrections – or suggestions of games that we missed.   2011 hardware! Nintendo 3DS: 3/27 Confirmed Released: Lost in Shadow (Wii): 1/4 Little Big Planet 2 (PS3): […]

Optimizing an indie game

I’ve been following Iron Tower Studio’s Age of Decadence for a few years, and the game looks increasingly like it’ll land sometime in 2011. The lead artist recently posted an account of optimizing AoD’s adaptation of the Torque Engine for higher performance, complete with screenshots reflecting the iterative steps their team followed. The post offers an interesting look at tuning performance with Torque, but it’s also a reminder that indie teams often have to spend as much time on the nuts-and-bolts as big commercial projects do. There’s a lot of talent out there, working on promising smaller-scale projects like this. […]
