An anonymous reader writes “Remember the 21-foot X-Wing with four rocket engines? It launched yesterday from Plaster City and here’s the video showing what many thought inevitable: total destruction in mid-air. From the post: “I can only say two things. The first is: absolutely amazing. And the second: poor Porkins.” “
To there wasn’t any photos. I’d love to see it myself.
On August 2, 2007, an individual named David W. Liu filed to protect the trademark Google PC. There are several men named David Liu that Mork found in his research. One is an investment banker. One is CEO of TheKnot.com. Another is Sr. VP of AOL Portals. But a Spoke profile identifies a David Liu as Legal Council for Google, Inc.
Another interesting thing: a Google Maps Street View search for the address listed in the filing — 6363 Wiltshire Blvd in Los Angeles — shows a small 5-story building with two trees in front of it. If you move the camera in front of the building and zoom in, the word “Google” appears (real or Photoshopped?) in the bottom floor window of the building.
Its been a long while since there have been any substantial rumors about the Google PC, so Mork thought it was worth mentioning this latest discovery.
I wonder if this for the 700 mhz maybe a Desktop for anyone who can pay 100$ or something like that? What do you think?
Look, there’s simply no way Apple isn’t eventually going to open up the iPhone to 3rd party support — it’s really a matter of when and how, if you ask us. Of course, the possibility we’ve been most anxious about is Apple eschewing the open platform philosophy and starting to vend only “certified’ apps via iTunes — which is what 9to5Mac is now rumoring to be the case, reporting that Cupertino has brought some former Sidekick platform developers into the fold in order to whip up a mobile app sales infrastructure for iTunes. What’s more, the rumor has it things are already progressing along with EA porting games to the iPod touch and iPhone that very same closed-platform model which would leave Apple conveniently in control of app approval, distribution, and presumably pricing. It’s anyone’s guess as to whether Apple will pull the trigger in just that way, but something tells us the enterprising open source community won’t be so easily deterred.
That’s the reason why they must of disable 3rd party apps when they did the firmware update and I wonder when they will announce it?
Look, we liked Halo 3. No wait, that’s understatement. We loved Halo 3 and gave it a ten out of ten. But that doesn’t mean Master Chief’s latest adventure has everything we want in a first-person shooter. In fact, whether you’re talking about single player, multiplayer, premise, or plot, we think there are a ton of games that have – and will – best Halo 3. No, we’re not joking. Here are ten games that should make you forget about Master Chief.
Talking about Half-Life 2, Portal, team fortress 2, Bioshock, Crysis, Left 4 Dead, Quakewars, Haze, COD 4, and UT3. All nice and all but all of thee you have to buy how about some free shooters.
