| Yesterday’s iPad Event Was Only Half The Story Posted: 08 Mar 2012 03:04 PM PST Yesterday's iPad Event Was Only Half The Story  Yesterday's iPad Event Was Only Half The Story Because of the way Apple structures their major announcements — iPad in the first quarter, WWDC and iPhone in the summer though perhaps with the iPhone, now it's fall — the iPad event is a little weird, because it's really only half an event. The first half is what happened yesterday — the unveiling of the new iPad.... |

What we haven't experienced is being the first media outlet to plunk down over $100,000 for a luxury plug-in hybrid, only to have it konk out before we even put 200 miles on it. That "honor" goes to... |

| Angelina: the experimental AI that's coming for our game dev jobs Posted: 08 Mar 2012 03:03 PM PST Angelina: the experimental AI that's coming for our game dev jobs  Angelina: the experimental AI that's coming for our game dev jobs Ok so, maybe Angelina couldn't have created Skyrim all on her own, but the experimental AI from Michael Cook (a computer scientist at Imperial College London) is still quite impressive. The artificial dev is able program enemy behavior, layout levels, and distribute power ups with random attributes. While many elements of a game like Space Station Invaders (which you can play at the more coverage link) are designed by human hands,... |

HTC Droid Incredible 4G parties down with FCC, ready for Verizon? Can't get enough of the FCC approval gossip? For some reason, neither can we. In the middle of what seems like a flood of new devices trying to get prepped for their inevitable US debut, the HTC PJ53100 appears to stand out above many of the rest. Why?

On the one hand, it offers wide viewing angles, deep contrast and rich saturation. (Not to mention, when are we ever going to complain about 1080p resolution on a 15-incher?) Still, as many disgruntled forum posters have pointed out, the color calibration seems off against... |
