    LEGO Rock Band 16/11/2009 14:05:00

    Crossovers in entertainment media aren't anything new. If there was money to be made and merchandise to sell, you could bet your Saturday morning that the Jetsons would find their way into a Flintstones plot before you could say "continuity error." Now, the Traveler's Tales line of LEGO games have taken an interesting approach to the tried-and-true intercompany crossover conundrum: take an iconic pop culture franchise (so far so good) and then throw in an iconic... toy... block... franchise?

    Rock Band is the top grossing app on iTunes 24/10/2009 10:10:00

    It's not just the top grossing game on the app store, but Harmonix' Rock Band is pulling in more money than any other app in the app store right now. The game, which hit earlier this week for $12.99, includes 20 tracks that can be played on the device's touchscreen with all four of the franchise's trademark instruments (yes, including vocals) fully implemented for both single player and multiplayer sessions. The game supports Bluetooth enabled four player gameplay, but currently no Wi-Fi or Internet play. Songs can be download from the app for $0.99 each.

    Free software for making panoramas 23/10/2009 07:55:00

    Panoramas have been around for at least a century. In the old days, though, you had to combine a series of photos using scissors, tape, and elbow grease.

    Will Apple's new iTunes put you on cloud nine? 10/09/2009 16:01:00

    Earlier today Apple introduced iTunes 9 at the "It's Only Rock and Roll, But We Like It" media event. iTunes 9 has a number of new features, such as iTunes LP (which tries to bring full-blown album art, liner notes, and so on to the digital world), Home Sharing (which allows you to sync your music across computers in your household), and the redesigned iTunes Store. Though these new features make iTunes an even stronger media-playback app, you may find this version a little disappointing if you were hoping for a major revamp.
