EA Games exec leaves to start iPhone gaming company – Ngmoco
Ngmoco is the newest mobile gaming start-up to hit the scene. With mobile gaming getting a renewed push from the iPhone, Neil Young decided it was time to leave his executive position at EA Games to form a new start-up aimed at making games exclusively for the iPhone. Apparently, a stagnated mobile games market was ripe for change and Young believes that "we are finally at the place where we can reinvent the experiences and the economics of the mobile games business." Young adds that the mobile gaming industry "has been stagnant for a few years. I feel the iPhone is a real opportunity to change that industry." |

The coolest, simplest, coolest iPhone jailbreak and unlock ever - Using iTunes to jailbreak/unlock you iPhone
Check out this video demonstrating the "iPhone Unleashed" as it's updating from a jailbroken iPhone v1.1.1 straight to the iPhone v1.1.4 firmware. The kicker here is that the update process, via iTunes, automatically and seamlessly jailbreaks, unlocks, and activates the iPhone into v1.1.4. What you see is an iPhone "that are belong" to the "iPhone Unleashed" team, running a jailbroken iPhone v1.1.4 and locked on to T-Mobile's network |

The Aura
If you want to understand why a product has become an icon, you of course want to talk to the people who dreamed it up and made it. And you want to talk to the design experts and the technology pros and the professors and the gurus. But what you really want to do is talk to Andrew Andrew. Andrew Andrew is a ''highly diversified company'' made of two personable young men, each named Andrew. They dress identically and seem to agree on everything; they say, among other things, that they have traveled from the future ''to set things on the right course for tomorrow.'' |

Bass response
The third generation iPod had a weak bass response, as shown in audio tests. The combination of the undersized DC-blocking capacitors and the typical low-impedance of most consumer headphones form a high-pass filter, which attenuates the low-frequency bass output. Similar capacitors were used in the fourth generation iPods.[40] The problem is reduced when using high-impedance headphones and is completely masked when driving high-impedance (line level) loads, such as an external headphone amplifier. The first generation iPod Shuffle uses a dual-transistor output stage, rather than a single capacitor-coupled output, and does not exhibit reduced bass response for any load. |

The Surface
Ive introduces himself as Jony, but really he seems like more of a Jonathan: Friendly and soft-spoken, almost sheepish at times, but also, with his shaved head and English accent and carefully chosen words, an extremely precise man. We spoke in a generic conference room in Apple's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters, decorated mostly with the company's products. Before I really had a chance to ask a question, Ive spent about 10 minutes talking about the iPod's packaging -- the way the box opens, how the foam is cut. He talked about the unusually thin and flexible FireWire cable, about the ''taut, crisp'' cradle that the iPod rests in, about the white headphones. |
