A Look at Grapevine?s Legoland

Sat, 16 Jul 2011 16:11:17 GMT

Even before I had a kid, I wanted to go to Legoland. The California theme park has dozens of rides and attractions, a water park, and acres and acres of amazing Lego sculptures. And there’s a new one opening in Florida, too. But since it will likely be a few years before my family can [...]

Wildlife Park 3 Entertains and Educates

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:11:18 GMT

I have fond memories of playing the first Sim City on the Amiga in the early 90’s, but until recently I hadn’t found a game that offered a similar experience for my kids. There were plenty of simulation titles out there, but not many that they really connected with.
I gave Wildlife Park 3 on the [...]

Spammers exploit the Google cloud to dupe victims

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:11:17 GMT

Spammers have been exploiting cloudlike products for years to send spam -- think Hotmail or Gmail. But now they're taking greater advantage of cloud computing, employing techniques and traversing avenues we haven't seen before.

Among the many cloud services being abused are Google's popular offerings, including Google Docs and Google+. Users and organizations alike need to be aware of these threats and prepare accordingly.

Adapter Puts Nikon and Canon Lenses on iPhone

Sun, 10 Jul 2011 23:11:18 GMT

Pretty much the only thing stopping me from buying an iPhone to use as my next camera is the fact that I can’t shoot photos with a shallow depth-of-field, which throws the background into a distraction-free blur while keeping your subject pin sharp. The ridiculously impractical iPhone SLR Mount probably won’t change my mind, but [...]

Excited about Zynga?s IPO? Get Ready for Korea?s Nexon

Sat, 09 Jul 2011 11:11:20 GMT

Silicon Valley loves to dismiss Asian companies as nothing more than copycats who thrive, particularly in China, because the government protects them and punishes Western competitors. Even when the businesses in question are dramatically different in practice and scale, they are described as the "eBay of China", "The Google of China" and "the YouTube of China," not Alibaba, Baidu and YouKu. I've argued why this is mostly nonsense before. But the starkest argument that Asia does indeed innovate may be found in the world of free-to-play games and virtual goods. This is a new market we're in a lather about here with the impending $1 billion IPO of Zynga, but one that is much larger and more than ten years old in Asia. And one of the industry's pioneers, Nexon, is also said to be readying itself for an IPO. And get this: It has higher revenues, far better margins and dramatically better user engagement statistics than Zynga.

Facebook?s Andrew Bosworth: ?The Most Exciting Things Are Things We?re Not Working On?

Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:11:22 GMT

At yesterday's launch of video Skype messaging, Mark Zuckerberg showed this slide of Facebook user growth graph plotted with the launches of Facebook apps like Photos, Messages and the Like Button. Zuckerberg held that each bump in growth was fueled by a technological innovation and that Facebook is currently right at elbow of the hockeystick, waiting for the technological innovation that will propel it upwards. When asked in the above interview what this innovation could possibly be (Project Spartan, perhaps?) Facebook Director of Product Engineering Andrew Bosworth gave a somewhat surprising answer.

Blippy?s New Direction? Daily Deals For Artisanal Goods At Heartsy.me

Wed, 06 Jul 2011 17:11:16 GMT

Earlier this summer we wrote a post on purchase sharing site Blippy's decline, titled "The End Of Blippy As We Know It." While Blippy CEO Ashvin Kumar didn't want to reveal what the team's next step was at the time, we've now got a few more details to share as to what the company's ~~pivot~~ new venture will be -- Heartsy.me, a daily deals site for handmade goods and other products. Heartsy.me has been around in incognito mode since February 2011 and has gotten considerable media pick up as a "Groupon for Etsy" mainly because of its novel twist on the concept of a social deals platform, letting users vote on what deals they want to see. Even we covered it, without knowing anything about the team behind it.

Android momentum not at risk even as iPhones sales jump, says analyst

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 12:11:22 GMT

Apple's iPhone gained share among U.S. consumers who bought a mobile phone in the last three months, as the share for devices running Google's Android remained flat during the same period, Nielsen said Thursday.

In May, 17 percent of those surveyed by the polling firm said that they'd purchased an iPhone in the preceding 90 days, up from the 10 percent who said the same three months earlier.
