McCain why do you support lies?

I remember back when, early in the election process, when McCain said he wanted to run a nice "clean" campaign and not bash or bring down the person running opposite of him, of course things have changed. The McCain campaign is running two ads now and both are clearing false and is shocking to hear that McCain supports these ads. Thankfully the ladies from The View are smarter then your average Fox, see what I did there, and they grilled Mr. McCain on these ads. Also in the v… Continue

iPod Touch...a true gaming device?

After seeing the new commercial for the iPod Touch its clear that Apple is now marketing this product as a mobile gaming machine. Marked at $230 the device is now ready to take on the PSP and maybe even the Nintendo DS. While there are some good games for the iPod Touch there aren't any real killer apps. There are some really good games like Dizzy Bee, Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart, and Asphalt Racing 4 there just isn't that game to sell the device. On the other hand there are s… Continue

If you own the pc/mac version of Spore then you will already know how to play the game. Unlike the full Spore this version focuses on being that single celled organism in the ocean. There are 30 levels to complete and yes you can customize your c… Continue

How smart is Genius?

Everyone knows by now that iTunes 8.0 was released today. Aside from a few cosmetic changes the biggest feature to be included in version 8.0 is Genius. This new feature determines what type of music you would like to hear based off of a particular song or artist, much like Pandora. I was skeptical about how well this would work because of my experience with Pandora. I am not saying that Pandora is bad or anything its just th… Continue
