Etcher delivers Etch A Sketch for the iPad

I am quite sure that when you first played Draw Something on the iPad, you must have figured out that the iPad, if it had a properly programmed app, would also be able to double up as some form of Etch A Sketch, a toy that gave you many hours of fond memories as a child. Well, I guess those prayers have been answered, as a Kickstarter project that is looking for the right amount of funding has just announced Etcher – an app for the iPad that has every intention of delivering the Etch A Sketch experience right on the iPad itself. This is more like it – the convergence of the old and the new, merging new technologies with tried, tested and successful ideas.

Fahrradi Farfalla FFX requires pedal power to run

We do know that owning a Ferrari would mean you have made it in life, more or less. After all, the Italian company does come up with some of the best supercars in the world, but as we all know, supercars are far from green – even if Ferrari promises a hybrid model to arrive later in 2013. Well, here is the greenest “supercar” yet – the Fahrradi Farfalla FFX that will break one speed record by Ferrari – it is the slowest “supercar” yet.

AMD reveals Trinity specs, claims to beat Intel on price, multimedia, gaming

Itching for the details of AMD’s latest Accelerated Processing Units (APUs)? Then get ready to scratch: Trinity has arrived and, as of today, it’s ready to start powering the next generation of low-power ultra-portables, laptops and desktops that, erm, don’t run Intel. The new architecture boasts up to double the performance-per-watt of last year’s immensely popular Llano APUs, with improved “discrete-class” integrated graphics and without added to the burden on battery life.

Ex-Microsoftie Robbie Bach: I wouldn’t have made Zune MP3 players, we were just ‘chasing Apple’

It took some time after Robbie Bach left Microsoft for the Zune device line to wind to a close , but that hasn’t stopped the former music (and gaming) executive from suggesting that it should have been ramped down much, much sooner. While discussing the best way to get a startup company humming at a Northwest Entrepreneur Network event, Bach mentioned his view that Microsoft should never have started down the MP3 player path to start with and should have instead gone service-only . The Zune was a too-little-too-late reaction to the iPod, according to him, and the option to squirt your songs apparently wasn’t enough of a lure: “We just weren’t brave enough, honestly, and we ended up chasing Apple with a product that actually wasn’t a bad product, but it was still a chasing product, and there wasn’t a reason for somebody to say, oh, I have to go out and get that thing.” We’ve had some affection for the Zune in the past, but there’s no denying that it faced an uphill battle from the start

Sifteo Interactive Gaming Cubes

I’m not even sure how to describe the Sifteo Interactive Gaming Cubes . I guess you could explain it as one game across multiple screens, with different portions of the games on each screen.
