Evening Reading: My Friends Are Game Dev Story Obsessed
by Garnett Lee, Oct 18, 2010 5:00pm PDTWell the games of fall are really pouring in now. Fallout: New Vegas this week, Fable 3 and Rock Band 3 next, and the Kinect launch and Black Ops right around the corner. Add in all the assorted others and it's easy to get completely inundated. Yet over the weekend it seemed like all I heard people talking about was Game Dev Story for the iPhone/iPod.
Here's what we've been talking about on the Shack today:
- World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Cinematic Trailer
- Steam Surges Past 30 Million Accounts with 178% Growth Over Last Year
- First DLC for Fallout: New Vegas Exclusively on 360 This Holiday Season
- Blizzard Sues Three StarCraft 2 Hackers
And a few random things to wrap up Monday with:
- If you haven't yet, watch our very own Del Rio make his debut in Steph and Lance Go To Compton. Seriously, it's funny.
- Why does it not surprise me Justin Bieber pitched a fit when he flunked his driver's license test
- Part of that ridiculous sum of money Microsoft plans to spend marketing Kinect will be paying to get Kinect on 'Oprah' and 'Ellen'

"We've now passed RIM [which sold 12.1m phones in the comparable quarter], and I don't see them catching up with us. It's going to be a challenge for them to become a competitive platform and to persuade developers to develop for a third platform after iOS and Android."
He also forecast that would-be rivals to Apple's iPad tablet computer would struggle to make a mark because many were offering screens only 7" diagonally – "which is only 45% of the area of the iPad," Jobs said. "We think these 7" tablets will be DOA – dead on arrival. They'll learn the painful lesson that they're too small and have to expand them next year.

Second, I use it all the time when laying down, it works great. I even read while on my side from time to time. You just need to use a case so you can prop it up easier. I will say without a case it is a bit harder to hold while laying down. The iPad will definitely get slimmer with every release, that's the Apple way. It is also probably going to get cheaper.
Third, why do people have such a hard on for expandable storage? It is such a terrible thing because you end up with slow ass storage and most people end up buying one card and leaving it in there for the lifetime of the device. Why not just buy one with large built in storage and never have to worry about it? Memory cards remind me of floppy disks, they will eventually be gone as will optical discs. It will take awhile though unfortunately, because people still live in the past.
