Official Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer Reveal Trailer

11:36 AM By


Screen grabs on Digital Spy here:

New multiplayer modes include Cranked and Search and Rescue, the latter of which sees players attempt to save teammates by collecting dog tags. Maps, meanwhile, include 'Chasm', 'Prison Break', 'Whiteout' and 'Strikezone'. Elsewhere, it was revealed that the Xbox 360 version will launch on two discs and require a 3GB install. Multiplayer, meanwhile, will be limited to 12 players on current-gen platforms. The news comes after earlier reports suggested that Call of Duty: Ghosts will introduce an Alien-based co-op mode, titled 'Extinction'.
My teen son is already clamoring over this game, so this will probably be one of the next in line, as far as video game purchases for us.
It's all I have been hearing about 24/7, I sometimes wish I could get a lobotomy.

First person shooter's are cool, but I'm a sports gamer guy, so the games I want to see are the new Madden 14 and NBA2K14 games on the next generation consoles.

I also have some interest in the two new WWE game releases as my teen aged sons are heavy into pro-wrestling right now.

Side note - My autistic teen son loves it, so I try to get into it a little bit, but in my mind, that's just a well scripted soap opera for guys and gals involved around wrestling, nothing more...

(It's a huge, billion dollar business, but reality is "not good for business" in the WWE Universe)

San Francisco's bay barge mystery: Floating data center or Google Glass store?

11:31 AM By


KPIX reported that Google has been unable to acquire the permits needed to bring it to San Francisco. The TV station was told that the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission has been unwilling to grant the permit. A CNET request for comment from the same commission last week was not returned. The idea of a floating Glass store is an odd one, but anything is possible from Google. In fact, after our story ran on Friday, I was contacted by someone who said he had knowledge that the project in the works is a Google store of some kind. The tipster, who is well-connected in Silicon Valley but asked to remain anonymous, told me that he had heard from multiple sources at Google that the company plans to float the Glass stores from city to city by rivers, and that the idea for the project came straight from either Larry Page or Sergey Brin, Google's founders. Finally, he said, the idea is in part that Google wants to launch stores without looking like they are trying to chase Apple.

Could be a new data center push or a floating Google store and/or museum of innovations.
An Idea that would be unique in itself, as you could move it all across the nation for huge events like the Super Bowl, E3 or Comic Con for example, at a moments notice.

Such an forward thinking innovation would be a clever marketing ploy and a gigantic "one up" on Google's battle against the declining Microsoft brand and the world-wide giant, Apple.

At least for me, curiosity lingers and I can't wait to see what is in the huge floating, metal box.

iPhone 5s - 3.8% of all iPhones in use, US has highest 5c adoption rate

11:15 AM By


A very strong showing for Apple as far as market share growth of the 5s globally and at least in the US, the 5c is gaining traction:
The figures were published on Monday by Localytics, which examined more than 40 million unique iPhone devices through its analytics software utilized by developers. The survey found that 3.8 percent of all iPhones worldwide are now the iPhone 5s, while the iPhone 5c accounts for 1.7 percent of all active iPhones. Apple's iPhone 5, released in 2012, remains the most popular handset from the company, accounting for nearly 40 percent of all iPhones active today. Coming in second is the iPhone 4s, with a 32.9 percent share, followed by the iPhone 4 at 20.2 percent.


 Japan is king for active phones one month after launch. The Japanese, being huge technophiles, way back before it was l33t and cool, this wasn't really surprising and kind of expected.

As a former Ipad owner, I loved the platform, but I didn't really like the lack of free apps and games that the Android platform offers.
Don't get me wrong, the Itunes store did offer a ton of great apps, but if I'm gonna shell out a half of 1K or more for a tablet, loosen the belt a little and give users a little taste of why your device is so great.

Probably in the end, I will always be a Apple guy even though my wife is Android to the core.

While she has sold her soul to the devil, I mean Google, I choose to munch on the technological forbidden fruit of most things Apple in origin...

This is amazing and a epic teaser for this movie.

I love how they make the sentinels look like a love embracing, peace keeping machine when they are from from that and are built with other intentions in mind.
