A recent study by the Reputation Institute (which I presume is reputable because otherwise they’d never have a name like that;)) looked across 24 countries and 600 companies and placed Google at the top of the most trusted with a rating … Read more

Natal was rumored to be released by Holiday 2010…know anything else with that release date? Yup, WP7 is also ‘Holiday 2010’. And we … Read more
Saw another app floating around but I like it more for what it represents than the app itself. Well the app is a ‘dress up’ app where you can dress up characters in different clothing, etc. There’s certainly a market for that out there and this app seems to handle it well. The thing I’m … Read more

For those of you into soccer (futbol – whatev) you have a few options to track the World Cup. Of course, drinking heavily and never leaving pubs. That’s great if your lifestyle affords it.

A port of Arknoid (Brick Breaker) called XNArknoid has been made available (including the source code). The reason it’s significant is because we’ve been talking about Silverlight apps a lot recently. This is actually written in XNA – the code used for Xbox games. The dev clearly knows what he’s doing. Arknoid cannot be done … Read more
