29 Dec 06 One Last 2006 Crazy Apple Rumor
Rumor: Apple and Nintendo forming an alliance to bring us the Podfondo at MacWorld. Now granted this is a partnership I’ve wanted to see happen for a long time now, being as both companies are pretty hush hush on new products, create iconic and beautiful products, and hell it would just be pretty sweet.
Do I believe this rumor? Well the first meeting took place on Apple’s 30th anniversary April 1, 2006 (April Fool’s day), and with SOOO much info being known, this rumor is one that I’m going to say is certainly not true, although I wish it were.
26 Dec 06 What did you get?
Anything exciting for Christmas? I got only 1 tech item, a new game I’ve been wanting for my DS Lite, and my dad, and brother played it for quite some time last night.
Other then that I got a bunch of bowling items, including a new ball and shoes. I received tickets to Spamalot when it opens here in Tampa with my brothers as well. I did order an Invisible Shield for my Zune to protect the screen from scratches, and am going to re-new the Zune Marketplace account.
I know a few people got Blackberry Pearls for Christmas, make sure to read my post about using it as a bluetooth modem.
Also, don’t forget to check out iTunes has a 3 for 2 special on select music videos right now, a perfect way to help fill up that new iPod you might of gotten. Some of the sets are even cheaper then regular, I just got 6 music videos for $5.98.
19 Dec 06 2 new iPod games
EA has released 2 new iPod games, Soduku and Royal Solitaire.
Sudoku has two different modes. A Normal with a partially filled grid, and a newspaper mode with a completly empty grid. There are a number of different ways to enter numbers in the grids, making it easy for any type of Sudoku player.
Royal Solitare features 10 different styles of solitaire (Aces Up, Beleaguered Castle, Canfield, FreeCell, Golf, Klondike, Peaks, Pyramid, Scorpion, and Yukon). This is visually superior to the solitaire that comes included on the iPod, and tracks your stats comparing them to everyone else in the world playing as well.
Each game runs $4.99 and can be purchased today in the iTunes Store.
15 Dec 06 Wiicall of all Wii straps
Looks like Nintendo has decided that all of the straps initially included with the new Wii system are defective, based on people smashing their remotes into their tv’s after the cord breaks.
You can sign up to have a new strap sent out to you, and it looks like you won’t have to go through the hassle of returning your old one.
14 Dec 06 Wii: Right on Target
I’ve been tipped off by a little birdy*, that Target is hoarding Nintendo Wii’s for an advertisement that is slated to come out Sunday. Every store in the country is “supposed” to have a limited quantity on hand.
I’m traveling this weekend, but might see what I can do about getting to a Target in Columbus, Ohio Sunday early in the AM.
*This post is speculation and rumor, there is no guarantee that Target will have the Wii. This is simply information I’ve acquired and am passing it along.
