Just perusing apps and I saw Where’s My Car? which is an app designed to help you locate your parked car. More on that in a second, but I think the neatest feature is the live tile support: Set a parking meter timer If you want to set a reminder to get back to your … Read more
My commute to work would be unbearable were it not for the Howard Stern show. It’s just about the only thing that keeps my head from exploding, as I sit in pointless traffic every morning. So, the news of Stern’s much-ballyhooed contract renewal more than justifies my keeping my subscription current with Sirius XM. Details … Read more
Andy Rubin uses Twitter sparing – this is the second time ever (Twitter says third Tweet but only shows two – maybe he can figure out why their search results are off). Anyway, guess he had something big he wanted to share.
We’ve mentioned this game not less than 4 times already because it simply looks that sick. And in our last post, we mentioned that the release date was December 9…hey, that’s like NOW! Yup, it’s available for $6 for iPhone 3Gs, iPhone4, iPad and iPod Touch 3rd/4th gen. Oh and don’t think this will install … Read more
If at first you don’t succeed…throw more resources at it until you do! That seems to be where MS is headed at this point.

Slingplayer for Windows Phone got hit hard in the ratings for having connection issues. Now I don’t know what was fixed, but wp7AppList shows that an update just went live so if you had issues, check out the update and share with the group. At $30 it should be pixel perfect…
The Marketplace just opened up apparently with a lot of new apps hitting the market today. Let’s go through some of them. Spinballs is a game that Windows Mobile fans probably know very well. It’s a logic/puzzle game where you rotate the discs to connect the same color. It’s fun as most of you likely … Read more
Another week and two more Xbox Live games are in the Marketplace. First up is Bubble Town 2. Apparently this was a Facebook cult game but ultimately it reminds me of Snood with more levels (and I love Snood). There’s 45 levels and 3 environments plus 5 bosses and a new ‘lob shot’ that lets … Read more
I was fortunate to attend a lecture delivered by Jared Cohen today at the New York City’s Bar Association. He has worked for the State Department under both Rice and Clinton, a good four years, before recently defecting to the private sector to direct Google Ideas. I have no idea what Google Ideas is (are?) … Read more
Today is official ‘app monetization day’ it appears. The original Microsoft Ads SDK only supported Silverlight if you recall. And as of today it supports XNA (high end games) as well. It’s still US only but this opens the door to more apps that developers can monetize (you know, release for free and get some … Read more
In the comments to the WP7 app data post it seems like we’re all starting to talk about what app pricing should look like so let’s focus on it a little bit here. The MS Marketplace is supposed to be a place for devs to make money and presumably that’s in sales and it isn’t … Read more
