How SpellTower’s Zach Gage took on Angry Birds, lost the fight, and came out ahead
great game, great story, and a great opportunity for me to crow that I'm actually really good at this game. I am ranked #17 in Tower Mode!

Picking the right keyboard for writing on the iPad
I got the Apple keyboard a while ago and used it once with the iPad. All these solutions seem clunky next to a MacBook Air, or just getting good at the on-screen keyboard...

What's Really Next for Apple in Television
Siri as the new remote. The big problem though is that big content and the cable/sat providers still control the industry. If Apple is seen as a threat, big content can stop licensing the shows, and cable providers can make non-bundled internet accounts prohibitively expensive. But perhaps Apple is planning on buying all the studios and starting its own ISP with all that cash.

Crimson: Steam Pirates
"An iPad-only steampunk adventure game published by Bungie and developed by Harebrained Schemes, a games company founded by Jordan Weisman, whose past work game players might be familiar with—BattleTech, Shadowrun, and Crimson Skies." Wow, I really haven't been paying enough attention to Bungie news these days. Must get this. (<a href="http://funkaoshi.com">via</a>)

Mario Shunning IPhones Leads to Growing Discontent by Nintendo’s Investors
how the mighty are falling. Nintendo's stock price spiked up on rumours there was going to be a Pokemon for iOS, and went back down when they denied it. Did I mention the 3DS price drop after only a few months on the market?

Why we’re betting everything on FCP X
CrumblePop on the new FCP. BTW I've spent about a half hour playing around with FCP X, and so far I think it's a good thing. The new timeline is a real timesaver. Much less fuss about codecs. Still getting my head around the new bin display though.

Aperture #1 Grossing Product on App Store
Apple dropped the price on Aperture from $200 to $80. The linked article is a little partisan, but it is indeed an interesting development. One thought though - if the Mac App Store lacks upgrade pricing (like the iOS store), it would mean it will cost another $80 to update to the next version.
