Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Oct 05, 2010 5:00am PDTToday is going to be a busy day. Brian is out of town at a press event and I'm venturing deeper into Toronto to see a few upcoming titles, as well. So, for the rest of the day, the keys to the car that is Shacknews are in the willing and able hands of Garnett, Alice, and Jeff.
We're gearing up with some great exclusive coverage over the next week or so, so make sure to keep refreshing Shacknews every chance you get. Starting...now!

I'm flashing a hacked together version of 2.1 onto my Backflop! Here's hoping that it runs better than 1.5 did - plus, this way I can get the newer versions of all of Google's apps (FINALLY).
What's some awesome shit for Android 2.1 that I couldn't have installed and played with on 1.5?

Last night, the court threw out the desired injunction that Tim Langdell (owner of Edge Games) was trying to put on EA for "Mirror's Edge" , part of a number of other trademark claims on the word "Edge". The courts believe Langdell's complaint has no merit and perhaps may be even fraudulent, which could lead to criminal charges against Langdell.
The part about the game announcement? Mirror's Edge is coming to the Mac later this year, as listed in the court document.

"Redesigned commercial website, ... , to utilize an object-oriented model."
Like I can kinda see what he possibly meant there, but for the most part if you weren't talking about a web app it just seems a little weird to "utilize an object oriented model" for a site redesign.

Anyone have any luck with some good artisan bread cookbooks? I've been having great luck with the standards and I think I'm ready to move to the next level and would like a solid cookbook based on delicious (and good looking) breads. Suggestions?
Should a game's overall "score" be penalized because it
1) Didn't innovate the gameplay over the previous game, given it's a sequel
2) Copied another game's (fantastic) gameplay
Inititally, I quickly concluded "yes," but after thinking it over for a little bit, I'm not so sure anymore, and I think I'm leaning more towards "no."
This came up after reading a few paragraphs of a review for the new castlevania.

I'm still really skeptical and this is still kind of backwards of what I want. I want to use these digital services on my computer and then easily be able to watch TV from there as well.
