Morning Discussion
by Alice O'Connor, Jun 10, 2010 5:00am PDTAs the weekend slowly approaches, prepare yourself for adventure with the brilliant music video for Losers - "Flush". Victorian stylings, cephalopods and monarchs as colossal bio-mechanical tanks. Truly the best of British. I'm told there's also some sort of soundtrack attached but I wouldn't know about that. Gawd save the Queen!
Personally I'm not thinking about the weekend at all, only the week of mega monster media mayhem that will follow--E3. I'll be running on USA time and no doubt barely sleeping but I'm feeling confident about it all. This should be a good E3 for Shacknews.

In other news. I just noticed that there is another Final Fantasy / Crystal Defenders game for the iPhone, called Vanguard Nights. ?!? It was designed for touch? It's only out for the iOS? Why won't they make a damn iPad version (full res)? I'm STILL playing FF CD for the PSP. Man I'm such a tower defense addict. (and my love for Ivalice only sweetens the poison).

i just got invited to the beta for this site, which gave me 10 invites to hand out. you get to try the service out for 4 days. if you like it, 5 bucks a month gets you unlimited web streaming of their music collection, or 10 bucks gets you web and mobile access. they have iphone and blackberry apps right now, and the android app is "coming soon"
so, no craziness or anything. just the first 10 8 people to SM the email address they want an invite sent to, get one.
Sarah Mclachlan was on Letterman last night and was awesome. Her new song is pretty decent and her performance of it was excellent. (Also, she's looking pretty sexy these days). I can't wait to see her this summer at Lilith fair!

Over 100 features! But here's 12. And not much info on what works on what phone. What I did notice with regards to that info is this though:
"Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4."
I kinda thought it was going to work like backgrounder...but they're saying that apps have to be tweaked, re-released and re-downloaded in order to multi-task? I realize that the iPhone 3g can't multi task but that seems like a huge bottle neck to this new feature. Third party apps can run in the background!*
*eventually when the developers update them!
Anyway, I'd like a device specific iOS4 update list. Anyone got one?

I'm about half-way thru it and I think its great. Its more like "I am Legend" right now but I can feel a lot of "The Stand" in it. Excellent post-apocalyptic horror/survival. I recommend.

I saw your doppleganger on the Metro this morning. I really thought it was you. I considered walking up to say Hi. But then when you/he looked right at me with no expression, I realized it probably wasn't you.
So, I ran him through with a broad sword because there should only be one loboca.
