I’m excited about the new iPad even though I won’t be buying one

First off there is nothing "new" about this new iPad. We’ve seen the retina display before and other devices have multiple cores. The cameras while better quality aren’t new either. When you put them all together it’s a new package, even though these are all things currently on the market. That being said, if I didn’t already have an iPad I would be foaming at the mouth to get this one. The resolution is impressive, the battery life is great and the power is pretty damn awesome. This should solidify the iPad as a portable media center and game console. I can’t wait to see what new games come out to take advantage of all that power. It’s sort of a double-edged sword though. The more power you give people, the more power they seem to need and then it isn’t powerful anymore. I think the resolution of the new iPad is damn amazing. Kind of seems like the iPad […]

EA is making a royal mess of things

I haven’t exactly been impressed with EA over the past several months and they’re iPad offerings. And now they really seem to have made a mess of things. To start at the beginning, games like Monopoly, while decent are exceedingly overpriced. The same is true for Scrabble and Yahtzee. Those are simple casual games and they can’t seem to get them right. But when you couple that with some poor game play, excessive bugs and bad updates and it’s no wonder EA is screwing up on titles like Battlefield 3 and Simpson: Tapped Out. I haven’t even looked at Monopoly Hotels because I’m totally against in-app purchases. Here’s the problem, stop making these piece of crap Freemium games! Nobody wants them and they’re aggravating as hell! Make a decent game and charge me a fair price for it. Don’t keep rolling out these half-assed, half-baked games that annoy the hell out of me with demands to spend money to progress […]

XYplorer Lifetime License Pro–50% discount

If you’re looking for a high quality file manager then XYplorer is well worth looking into. I bought this last time BitsDuJour had it on sale and have been impressed with how it works. In fact, this is the type of file manager that should have been built into Windows in the first place. It supports multiple tabs, highlighting, searching, bulk file rename, integrates with TeraCopy, supports the Shell Context Menu, file preview, background copy, and tons of other stuff. Normally the app is $70, but today the discount drops it down to $35. That may seem like quite a bit, but keep in mind this is for the lifetime license. And this app gets updated quite frequently. You won’t be waiting years for the next update to come around. This is a great app for a really good price! XYplorer Lifetime License Pro
