Number Of iPhone 4S Users Still Using Siri After A Week: None
Siri is going to revolutionize how we use phones. Siri is the first real implementation of voice commands ever. Siri is going to be worth upgrading to an iPhone 4S. You know what no one mentions about Siri? That it’s a cool parlor trick at best, something to show your friends. “Hey Siri, where can I dump a dead body?” “Hey Siri, close the pod bay doors!” Then wait for the cute responses! I’m not giving it enough credit though, Siri is a cool trick, but iPhone users are going to discover something about voice commands that Android users have secretly known for years…

iOS 5 Tips, Tricks and Things You May Miss
When I first got iOS 5 I kinda knew what was new and what I could do but there were certain things that didn’t make sense to me and took forever to figure out. Now that I have figured everything out, because I’m a genius and no not the Apple store kind, I thought I would share it with you. I don’t have an iPhone 4S because I’m still weighing my options so these tips will not cover Siri. Siri is like the only pro I have to upgrade from my 4. Read the rest of this article…
Is 4chan In Decline?
The internet started as bulletin boards. You dialed into them on an individual basis to chat with others, one post at a time, your identity backed only by a handle. Those bulletin boards later became the dial-up ISPs we knew as Compuserve and AOL. Then we didn’t need them anymore. We had raw access to the internet, we didn’t need those walled gardens. But for many communities – from web forums to IRC chats – the need for anonymity is still strong. That last bastion of anonymous hope? 4chan. But in an era where presenting yourself exactly as you are, with your identity exposed for all to see, makes a lot of economic and social sense, where does 4chan fit in the grand scheme of things?

Ever Wanted To Own A World of Warcraft Server? Well, Here’s Your Chance!
No, I’m not talking about the little private pirate servers you kids run and tweak variables and play with yourselves. That’s just sad, this is cool. After recently upgrading their hardware, some of which has lasted since the game’s tumultuous launch in late 2004/early 2005, these now-obsolete Hewlett-Packard server blades have been encased in glass and adorned with a plaque indicating the name of the server it hosted and its service period. The blades go for auction in four waves starting on October 17th with net proceeds going to St. Jude’s for kids.

Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil – Movie Review – An Almost-Clever Slasher Film
I almost didn’t see this film. When Kelly pitched it to me as ‘rednecks in the woods, but different’, every possible stereotype flooded my mind. I became sick almost immediately with ‘casual southern’ fatigue. Thankfully, this film’s a little bit more than that, but only a little bit. If you’ve ever seen a slasher film, you know the formula: group of college kids end up somewhere and are terrorized by the locals, torn to bits one by one. But in Tucker and Dale that the formula is flipped and our rednecks (Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine) are in fact the ones terrorized by the college kids.

Rage – The Final Review
You are about to witness the last, and most definitive, review about Rage. I have spent the past two weeks working out of a subway car, we call it the Fez Bar (pictured above), building this for you while Rob stands guard. It is comprehensive, it is thorough, it is pretty much everything you need. Plastered everywhere in the game’s marketing is the fact that this is indeed a game by id Software, makers of Doom and Quake. But, despite the pedigree, you’re gonna toss a lot of that out as the Mesquite-based shooter house has spent the better part of a decade assembling this post-apocalyptic adventure. Playing Rage will make other games look flat. It will make Fallout 3 look like chess. It’s also incredibly fun to play. Stay tuned for our Final Review of Rage after the break!

What Windows Phone Needs To Survive
Dear Microsoft,
You’re screwing this whole thing up. No, I take it back, not everything. Windows Phone as an OS, now with Mango, is now competent and as other major outlets have said, remarkably similar in capability or better than Android or iOS. So how can Apple unveil one phone this month and do almost as much business as your entire lineup this quarter before it even releases? You guys are absolutely failing in your obligation to provide this industry with a new standard. You’re putting billions behind it because you realize this is your only stable attempt to bridge the ecosystem between Windows and the post-PC universe, yet you have little to show for it. They’ve even been out for a year and I still don’t have one. Look, I don’t run your business, but I did try to save Best Buy, so let me try to bail you out, too.

The Thing (2011) – Movie Review – Limp Remake Imitating Prequel
If you were in any way, shape, or form anticipating this film, then the only optimistic thing you’re going to get out of this review is the gorgeous picture above of the dazzling Mary Elizabeth Winstead with a flamethrower. In anticipation of seeing this Thing, I went on Netflix last night and saw Jack Carpenter’s 1982 Thing and left it with the knowledge that I had seen a great horror film. Twenty minutes into this prequel, I began to hate it immensely. Why? Because despite claims otherwise, this film is an almost note-for-note remake of that better film; a suspense-free, overproduced imitation.
