Crime City Syndicate

With the addition of the Syndicate feature in Crime City, I decided to create one of my own with an investment of $25 million and nearly 50 bricks. If you’re interested the code is 465481612. But before you get all crazy let me just say this – if you’re one of those people who buys a vault of gold and spends 1500 bars on events then you are probably too damn hardcore, not to mention looney for this Syndicate. I’d looking to hook up with some people who casually play the game, use cash opens for events, earn some respectable cash from their hood, have a few items to their name and want to invest in building up their defenses a little bit. I like Crime City as much as the next player, but I’m not investing my life’s savings into this game. It’s meant to be fun right? From the couple of comments that have been left there are […]

I don’t want Free Apps, I want to pay for them

All this news about Real Racing 3 leads me to believe that you should just charge a fee for games in the App Store and be done with it. Nothing good ever came from these supposed free games. Zombie Farm was a great little game that was ruined by the need to spend gold to get the brains in order to buy items. Within a day or two you hit the wall and this cool little game was ruined. Gameloft ruined Let’s Golf 3 with the same mentality of ripping off customers left and right with the need to buy energy in order to keep playing the game. The same problem for Dungeon Hunter 3. Gears and Guts was another great little game ruined by incessant in-game greed. And Big Win Football. The list is becoming far longer than it should be. What the hell happened to the idea of just charging me a decent price for a decent game […]

This iOS6.1 fiasco could be the kiss of death for iPad in the Enterprise

It wasn’t designed to take on corporate networks, but the iPad is a staple in big business and connecting to an Exchange Server happens all the time. For the most part it works fine, but as we’ve all becoming painfully aware, there are some issues. This latest cock up from Apple can quite literally get an iPad or iPhone to tear an Exchange Server apart. Once it mangles the Outlook Calendar, all hell breaks loose and the Transaction Logs start spinning out of control. Then it’s only a matter of time before bells and whistles go off and a rescue attempt needs to be made to clear hard drive space before the database goes offline. And through it all, users generating huge amounts of traffic will be sent to the upper levels of management. So right there a users name and their device will be in front of the world to see just how much havoc they caused. In the […]

Surface Pro just doesn’t hold my interest

With the release of the Surface Pro I went to check it out and see what it had to offer over the somewhat neutered RT version. I walked away thinking the Surface Pro is extremely underwhelming and a complete waste of money. It’s a machine that seems to be confused with it’s identity and what it wants to do in life. Is it a tablet, is it a laptop? Quite frankly, it’s not good at being either. The Surface Pro is a laptop jammed into a different case. But it’s not a good laptop. Nor is it a good tablet. You all but have to use the attached keyboard and mouse to use any of the built in apps. Word, Outlook, etc are not built to be manipulated through touch or gestures. You have to use them the same way you would on a desktop. What’s the point? By contrast, the apps inside Android and iOS have been built with […]
