We Really Don’t Know How Many Domains Go Daddy Has Lost

First let me say, I don’t like Go Daddy and I also work at a hosting company so they are a competitor. That being said I’ve see tech news websites writing about how many thousands of domains Go Daddy has lost today or this week. The truth is we don’t really know how many they have lost, check this out. Read the rest of this article…

The World’s Largest Reese’s Cups – Our Review!

You may love Reese’s peanut butter, you may even like the candy, married to a milk chocolate casing. But do you love it enough to consume an 1150-calorie (yes, over half your daily value!) Reese’s peanut butter cup, the world’s largest? Let’s just say, you’ll have to be a pretty big fan to plunk down not only the premium for the rare candy, but you’ll have to take in the excess, too. See how we handled after the break! Read the rest of this article…


‘Tiny Tower’ For Android Review – Where Are The Good Strategy Games?

‘Tiny Tower’ For Android Review – Where Are The Good Strategy Games?

Yes, yes, it’s been out for iOS for at least an age, but with its recent introduction to Android owners, of which there are quite a few more, it’s time to give Tiny Tower a look-over. In part because of its popularity and also because its average hardware spec is maturing, we’re finally starting to see a mini-Renaissance of Android games, most of which are iOS ports, but if you’ve never had an iPhone, hey, who cares right? I’ve been dying for a good strategy game on my phone and Tiny Tower is very much a Zynga-style game (of which we have played several), but like Paradise Island for mobiles, it sheds the social responsibilities of those games while maintaining all of the irritating idiosyncracies and shallow gameplay.

Star Wars: The Old Republic – SWTOR Rap

A few days ago, Dan Bull fired me off another email and told me that he’d dropped a new rap, inspired by the new EA/BioWare hit “Star Wars: The Old Republic“. Knowing some of the stuff Dan has dropped in the past (Like his epic Skyrim Rap), I popped on over to his youtube page and had a look.

HTC And Samsung Are Screwing Up Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich… Or Are They?

HTC And Samsung Are Screwing Up Google’s Ice Cream Sandwich… Or Are They?

We’ve mentioned it on here before (I think), but a stock version of Android on a smartphone is not a looker. It’d be very difficult to pitch Android on aesthetics against a stock Windows Phone or iPhone because of its utilitarian nature. Android sells 700,000 phones a day because of the OS’s ubiquity. So now that Google’s put some effort into making a beautiful operating system (thanks to webOS’s Matias Duarte), what do HTC and Samsung do? Seek to ruin it entirely.
