Mixed ups and downs for the start of 2012

Posted by Neobond in Neobond's Blog, 18 January 2012 - - - - - - · 1,181 views

On the 2nd of January this year, Christopher White published a story that eventually went on to gain over 140,000 unique views; if you haven't already seen it, it's the "Samsung flips off Apple, uses same actress in ad" story. We set a record for...

On October 27, 2011, Sony announced that it would acquire Ericsson's stake in Sony Ericsson for €1.05 billion ($1.47 billion), making the mobile handset business a wholly owned subsidiary of Sony. The transaction's completion is expected to occur...

My opinion of Metro on Windows 8

Posted by +warwagon in warwagon's Blog, 13 January 2012 - * * * * * · 1,167 views

Don’t get me wrong I think Metro is a beautiful UI for a touch interface, fantastic even, but only for a touch interface. The problem with Microsoft is they don’t think out of the box. They think everything needs the same UI. This is why, when in early 2001 / 2002 Gates tried to get tablets mainstream he failed. To him everything had to run windows. He...

Tablets in 2011

tablets, android, mobile, reviews

I have seen several articles in the past few days stating that Tablets had failed in 2011. I would have to disagree. Prior to the iPad's launch tablets had been bulky, generally just a laptop that had a screen that flipped around and the interfaces on them had been horrible. After the launch of the iPad numerous vendors had come out with their own...

My Top 10 Albums of 2011

Posted by +MightyJordan in Woo Woo Woo, You Know It!, 08 January 2012 - * - - - - · 660 views

Got lazy this time around. Tried to get this finished by New Year's Eve, but obviously failed. Oh well, better late than never, I suppose. BTW, I actually posted this list on New Year's Day over on my Facebook, but I forgot to post it here.

To make things even lazier, there's no writeups on each album this time, so here's the...

Skyrim's music

Posted by +Dr_Asik in Dr_Asik's Blog, 05 January 2012 - - - - - - · 262 views

It is no secret that I don't like the Elder Scrolls series, especially Oblivion and Skyrim. Morrowind at least had the merit of creating an original, alien world: with their run-of-the-mill settings, the latest two installements have managed to squander any potential for retaining my interest.

However, since others have explained why Skyrim sucks way...

If you've seen my Neowin blog before, you'll have probably read about my dislike of Sennheisers CX300-II - which everyone seems to buy, and say that sound quality is great.

( Old Post: http://www.neowin.ne...iser-cx300-iis/ )

Well, I offer up an alternative which is better in every way, for practically the same...

Well on Monday I managed to win myself some tickets to XFM's Naked Breakfast. Cannot wait, will be a whole radio show totally recorded live, including all live music, jingles and adverts. So far confirmed there are Stereophonics, Paul Weller, Smith and Burrows, Tim Minchin and a few more too. Should be a blast! ...

GTA5

Posted by +mikebiacsi in mikebiacsi's Blog, 02 November 2011 - * - - - - · 65 views

So the trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto game will be gracing our screens sometime today. I love the GTA series and have been looking forward to this for a while now, and my money's on Vice City for the next location. There has been talk about using the same technology found in LA Noire, but personally, I'm not too bothered if they...

Well I re subscribed todayand had some issues mainly with my Signature. Thanks to Dave Legg and all others that helped me with this problem. I am watching game 6 of The World Series and it looks like neither team wants to win. Five errors through 6 innings is not cool.

Two months ago I applied to be a Microsoft Student Partner, not with much confidence mind you. A few weeks later I received an e-mail that read

"Congratulations!

Thank you for applying to be a Microsoft Student Partner. I’m delighted to tell you that your application has been reviewed and you’ve been...

My vow to all headsets...

Posted by HeroDavies in Extrogasmic, 16 July 2011 - - - - - - · 45 views

Over the past couple of years I've had my fair share of 'gaming' headsets. Let me first start by saying that the job in which I purchased them to perform, they all succeeded perfectly well.

A Great Loss - Ryan Dunn

Posted by vetAndrew Lyle in Andrew Lyle's NeoBlog, 20 June 2011 - - - - - - · 64 views

Since the beginning of Jackass, when the first episode aired on MTV, I was hooked. I've watched it all from their launch parties, late night talk shows and their entire library of antics - yes, even the Steve-o series.
