Aurora Feint iPhone Game Is Back Sans Security Concerns

Aurora Feint, the iPhone game that was de-listed because of security concerns, has made it back onto the App Store. So what did the developers do? They ripped out the contact list integration entirely, opting for a more Nintendo friend code-like system that they will introduce in the near future. And if you're still worried about their security, this is what they've currently got in place: More »

Aurora Feint iPhone App Delisted For Lousy Security Practices

Remember that Aurora Feint Puzzle/RPG game that we told you we liked? Turns out we don't like it anymore. In fact, we're actually pretty damn scared of this app, seeing as Apple de-listed them from the App Store due to privacy and security issues. To the developer's credit, they were forthright with what they did and didn't do. More »

Xbox Fall Update Update: Voyeuristic Friends List

Not only does the upcoming Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update bring parental timers and downloadable original Xbox games, it's going to allow you to peep in on your buddies' friends list as well. As long as your friends set their list visibility to "Everyone" or "Friends only" (and not "Blocked"), you can see who your friend friended and send a friend request to them of your own. Think of it as looking through your buddies' cellphone when he's not looking, jotting down numbers, then calling people up and asking if they'll be your friend. [Xbox via Friends of Friends]

My Birthday Wishes

I'm 30 today. I woke up this morning and went for a jog up to Twin Peaks. I noticed how much harder it is to run with an extra couple of inches on my waist. Then I looked down and realized it could be the gigantic Halo 3 Zune in my hand. I got back to the apartment, thankful for the kind weather and the rare chance to exercise, and made myself a lumberjack platter of pancakes, three eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes and a cup of ketchup and maple syrup. Damn Zune, slowing me down. More »

The makers of that Red One Digital Cinema camcorder that's supposedly able to crank out 4K resolution—that's super HD rez rivaling film—have finally rolled out a price list today, headed up by the already-announced $17,500 for the camera body. Considering that other cameras that can do similar things cost at least seven to 10 times more than that, that's groundbreaking. But that price is just for openers. More »

Don't Piss Dad Off This Holiday, Or Kiss That 360 Buh-Bye, Kids


Some kid must have been one hell of a brat this holiday season. Seems a father got so fed up with his son that he sold the Xbox 360 he bought for $100. Yup. You could have netted a $100 Xbox 360 sans box if you lived near Kansas City—but without the original packaging. Why no cardboard box? The dad wanted to teach the kid a lesson, so he kept the box, filled it up with coal and gave it to him. You probably would do that too if your kid was kicking a $2,000 stereo system in a fit of rage. No updates yet on what the kid said or did after he unwrapped it, but we're guessing his stereo system took a turn for the worse. More »
