I have no Klout, I don’t want Kred Posted: 29 Sep 2011 11:40 PM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE As if Klout wasn’t enough we now have Kred, a new social media influence measuring tool that is as pointless as its aforementioned competitor. Yawn. Klout brands itself the ‘Standard of Influence’, and Kred, while providing almost exactly the same pointless service, is measuring how powerful we all are in social media circles in a [...] (Read more...)

Who will win Battle of the Shooters 2011? Posted: 29 Sep 2011 08:40 PM PDT Categories: GAMER.BLORGE Battlefield 3 or Modern Warfare 3? Wait, what about Uncharted 3? They’re all shooters, they’re all brilliant, and they’re all being released soon. Shooters have become the dominant genre of gaming now, at least amongst the hardcore. So while the casual mainstream are puzzling over puzzle games and socializing over social games, the hardcore elite [...] (Read more...)

Before the lawyers, Jobs’ peace overture rebuffed Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:20 PM PDT Categories: MAC.BLORGE Apple has gotten a lot of bad press for its litigious ways. Whereas no one doubts that Cupertino invented the smartphone and tablet, people have faulted the company for fighting its product battles in court versus letting nature take its course in the marketplace. But that’s not the whole picture. The Next Web reports that, [...] (Read more...)

Kindle Fire is cool, but the rollout was masterful Posted: 29 Sep 2011 12:00 PM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE Let’s get the easy parts out of the way — the new Kindle line will succeed and the $79 model, in particular, must have publishers poohing themselves. However, I’m pretty sure Apple will continue to succeed with the iPad as Amazon’s going for a different market. Who’re the big losers? Samsung, RIM and anyone else [...] (Read more...)

Net neutrality rules go too far but not far enough, rival challenges claim Posted: 29 Sep 2011 07:20 AM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE As expected, the FCC has been hit with a lawsuit over its net neutrality plans. But the suit comes from a surprising source — and with a surprising reason. As we noted last week, the FCC has formally published its new regulations in the Federal Register meaning they are officially on record and will take [...] (Read more...)

Gran Turismo 5 Spec 2.0 DLC release to coincide with Forza 4 release Posted: 28 Sep 2011 11:40 PM PDT Categories: GAMER.BLORGE Polyphony Digital has a lot going for Gran Turismo 5 currently with a reality show airing on the Speed TV channel and with the game continuing to sell well worldwide.

Rumor: Final Fantasy Versus XIII coming to Xbox 360? Posted: 28 Sep 2011 11:40 PM PDT Categories: GAMER.BLORGE A new job posting for Square Enix has the rumor mill buzzing around a possible development of an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. The title has been long confirmed to be PS3 exclusive for some time. In the past executives at Square Enix have repeatedly shot down rumors of Final Fantasy Versus [...] (Read more...)

Apple to kill the iPod? It’s about time… Posted: 28 Sep 2011 10:00 PM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE Apple is rumored to be preparing to kill off the iPod. And it’s about time too. On October 24 the humble iPod will celebrate its tenth birthday, and what a decade this device has enjoyed. It’s fair to say the iPod and its mp3 player brethren revolutionized the way we listen to music on the [...] (Read more...)

Flashback trojan finding willing victims Posted: 28 Sep 2011 07:40 PM PDT Categories: MAC.BLORGE When it comes to a trojan, the only way you can become infected is to click install. It’s that simple — bad things only happen if you allow yourself to be fooled. And, here’s how not to get fooled by this latest trojan, which as these things go is fairly sophisticated. Antivirus software maker (chicken [...] (Read more...)

iPad broke IT’s back Posted: 28 Sep 2011 12:40 PM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE We’ve been hearing about the “consumerization of IT” for years and the phenomenon has only continued to grow. And, very much like when people say “tablet” they are really talking about iPad, the benefits of IT consumerization are to a greater extent accruing to Apple. Are you seeing a lot of iPhones, iPads and MacBooks [...] (Read more...)

Let’s talk iPhone 5 ship date Posted: 28 Sep 2011 08:00 AM PDT Categories: iPHONETOUCH.BLORGE Apple will be making iPhone next announcements on Tuesday, October 4 and it’s overwhelmingly likely that Tim Cook will lead an ensemble cast on stage at the company’s 1 Infinite Loop headquarters where the event will be held. That’s all very well and nice, but when can I get one? This comes from the going [...] (Read more...)

Google Plus traffic explodes, but what does that mean? Posted: 28 Sep 2011 05:40 AM PDT Categories: TECH.BLORGE Logically enough, traffic at Google+ rocketed last past week after the service became public rather than invite only. It’s still too early to say how many people will wind up using the service, but it’s already close to the number of visitors of MySpace and Linked In. Hitwise reports a week-on-week rise of visitors of [...] (Read more...)
