PSA: Carmageddon now on iOS, free for first day

PSA: Carmageddon now on iOS, free for first day:

Carmageddon is now on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and as promised British studio Stainless Games is offering it for free on its first day there. It's launched slightly later than anticipated, but the gory racer once infamously banned in its home nation is now available to all at no cost. Well, all the age of 12 and over - come on, it's still Carmageddon. Anyway, if you're unlucky enough not to nab it in the first 24 hours, it'll still be available but at its regular price of $1.99.

A lot's changed since Carmageddon released in 1997. Back then Grand Theft Auto was only a single game, nobody really knew who Britney Spears was, and a certain Steve Jobs had just returned to a struggling company called Apple to save them from near bankruptcy. Stainless' classic, however, plays on iOS much as it did 15 years ago, albeit with a few touch-ups. It now comes with various customized controls, editable video replays, retina display and iPhone 5 support, leaderboards, and other enhancements to boot. It of course still features, as Stainless puts it, "buckets of gibs."

The Android version is due to hit late 2012/early 2013.

iFixit opens up the Apple A6

Im more impressed with the microscope - Camera!!!



iFixit opens up the Apple A6:

The ambitious folks at iFixit have looked inside Apple's A6 chip. The gang has teamed up with engineering and analysis firm Chipworks to accomplish the feat and play with some very cool toys.
For instance, a bona fide ion blaster was used to remove individual layers from the chip itself. Also, a scanning capacitance microscope was used to reveal the "doping profiles" of NMOS and PMOS devices within the A6. Isn't science fun?
You can look at this equipment and read the results over at iFixit.com. Good work, folks!

Super Slow Motion Makes Even Gallagher Worth Watching

Super Slow Motion Makes Even Gallagher Worth Watching:




We can’t get enough of super-slow motion. Thousands upon thousands of frames capturing millions of little particles of everything flying everywhere. It turns even the most mundane moment into dramatic footage. Here’s just another glorious, gratuitously destructive example featuring watermelon-smashing comedian Gallagher.

Borderlands 2 skill tree calculator now online

Borderlands 2 skill tree calculator now online:

Posting about skill tree/talent calculators is really more of a Massively jam, what with such things typically being the fare of massively multiplayer online orc/spaceship simulators and everything, but in Borderlands 2's case, we'll have to make an exception.

Calculators like the one seen above are now available on the game's official site via each character's individual page, which can be accessed by surmounting the age gate and clicking on "Characters." We went ahead and spec'd out our siren, and we don't mean to brag or anything but that build up there is 100 percent guaranteed to be the most efficient, powerful build for the class.

Either that, or we randomly slapped it together in about 12 seconds.
