The Jambox (or its many equivalents) is fine, but I much prefer the experience of visiting second-hand shops around the city in hopes of finding a tower speaker relic that smells musty but still has a richness of sound and vintage appeal. Now a new Kickstarter project wants to help make sure proper speakers (the kind with removable cloth covers built strictly for sound first and style second) can easily take advantage of Bluetooth.Read similar

Rocketcat goes deeper into the Mage Dungeon with Wayward

www.tuaw.com Mike Schramm 52 days ago

Kepa Auwae's Rocketcat Games is one of my favorite iOS developers: Auwae himself is full to the brim with creative ideas about gaming, and all of Rocketcat's releases, from Hook Champ to Mage Gauntlet to Punch Quest, are extremely polished and well-designed. I got to meet with Auwae in person last week at GDC, and he not only showed me what the company is working on next, but got my head spinning with all of the crazy ideas he's thinking about creating in the future. First up, Wayward is Rocketcat's next title. It's a free-to-play action RPG game, and they're "hoping May" for a release, says... Read similar

Special FX Pioneer Ray Harryhausen Dies at 92

Your summer of special effects-laden blockbuster films owes a debt of gratitude to film pioneer Ray Harryhausen. The stop-motion-animation legend died on Tuesday, according to a Facebook statement from The Ray and Diana Harryhausen Foundation.Even when I didn't know his name, I was watching Ray Harryhausen's work. Every Thanksgiving in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the local TV station would run the 1949 film, Mighty Joe Young. This King Kong knock-off featured an over-sized, but not gargantuan gorilla running amuck in the city. Unlike the more famous and ill-fated Kong, Mighty Joe gets to l... Read similar

A Coolpix for every budget? Nikon's got you covered with this latest lineup of compact point-and-shoots. The S9500, priced at $350, offers a standard mid-range lineup of pocketable-cam specs.

Nintendo introduces a fountain pen for your Wii U GamePad, as well as a screen jacket

www.engadget.com Ben Gilbert 127 days ago

Nintendo's worried about your Wii U GamePad. So much so, in fact, that the company's releasing a full on "Accessory Set" aimed specifically at bolstering your screen's HP (sorry, we couldn't help it) -- not only do you get a screen protector, but also a cleaning cloth for keeping it in tip top shape. And you'll need all that protection with the increased scribbling the GamePad will assuredly see when employing your new fountain pen-esque stylus, also included in the set. The whole thing runs $12.99 when it arrives at retailers on February 4th (at least in the US and Canada). Show full PR t... Read similar

Kickstarter might be better-known for funding films and hardware projects, but it’s now getting its first synthetic biology proposal. A Singularity University alum, a Stanford post-doc and a Stanford Ph.D. are looking to use synthetic biology and software from startup Genome Compiler to creating plants that glow. While the first several generations of plants might be weaker at emitting light, the long-term idea is to replace electric or gas lighting with natural lighting from plants. “We live in a world that is generating too much carbon dioxide,” said Antony Evans, who is on...

'Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon' Is Crazy, Stupid Good

feeds.mashable.com Lauren Hockenson 23 days ago

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is crazy, stupid and one of the most brilliant pieces of gaming this yearA veritable send-up of the first-person shooter genre as a whole, Blood Dragon takes the immersive mechanics of its Far Cry brethren and melds it with the mind-numbing ridiculousness of ‘80s post-apocalyptic action heroism. Somehow in this garbled salad of ideas, the team at Ubisoft Montreal managed to make a game that is actually quite enjoyable, and perhaps worth more than its price tag of $15It’s hard to believe that Blood Dragon even exists in the first place.

GameStick wraps up successful Kickstarter run with nearly $650K

www.engadget.com Ben Gilbert 112 days ago

With a sum totaling around six times what the folks at PlayJam initially requested, the GameStick Kickstarter campaign can certainly be called a success. The project ended today just shy of $650K ($647,658 to be precise), resulting in its successful funding. Now all the folks at PlayJam have to do is deliver on the promise of their Kickstarter: produce and ship around 5,500 GameStick's by April (not to mention the Dock, and various special edition versions of the GameStick itself). A tall order, but one no doubt assisted by an infusion of cash six times what PlayJam expected to be working wi... Read similar

App Maker Kidaptive Debuts “Parent's Pad,” A New Way To Track A Child's Educational Development On iPad

Parents of preschoolers can finally let go of “iPad guilt” – the term that refers to that terrible feeling you get when you use the iPad as babysitter. Today, a company called Kidaptive is launching one of the most comprehensive feedback systems for parents to date, allowing them to get a hand of their child’s learning and development by simply handing over the iPad and letting their child play. It’s a shame that despite the wide variety of educational apps out there, too many parents still treat the iPad as a toy, letting kids rot their minds with time-wasting ga... Read similar
