Something is amiss at Tapulous, the popular iPhone developer behind the mega-hit application Tap Tap Revenge. In the past week, the still-fledgling company has lost three key employees: Sean Heber, the company’s first employee, Tristan O’Tierney, a senior iPhone engineer, and Louie Mantia, a designer. Together the employees constituted a large fraction of the company’s full-time workforce. The company has everything going for it - Tap Tap Revenge is prominently featured on Apple’s homepage, and ...

The G1 event has come and gone and it looks like we’re seeing an epic paradigm shift in the mobile space. iPhone started the ball rolling and Android is about the finish the job. The change? Phones are now officially computers and the expectation for most users is that they behave in the same way a powerful laptop or desktop PC would perform, albeit in a considerably more compact package. I was struck by something ...

Very interesting take on the role of Android. I do hope however that it is a bit slicker than Linux/Unix though or else it won't stand a chance in the market.

When entrepreneur Alexander Muse kept running into developers Rylan Barnes and Jason Hudgins over the course of several weeks in Texas, Muse knew he had to work with them. It was a smart move. The trio set up Big in Japan, an application house that focuses on mobile platforms, and by the conclusion of Google’s first Android Developer Challenge, the team had a hand in creating two of the top ten winners. While Hudgins had ...

photo by: ikegami I’ve been too busy to blog lately, and for that I apologize. But here’s a quicky detailing the technologies (internet related and not) I’m excited about right now: Drizzle. For years now, I’ve felt that MySQL has been doing in a direction in opposition to my use case. Stored procedures, views, etc etc have added bloat and complexity without offering me anything useful. Turns out I’m not alone - and thus Drizzle ...

It’s barely even lunch time, and the HTC Dream rumor mill is already churnin’ away at full force. Just minutes ago, an insider involved with the development of Android confirmed to us that the HTC Dream will set you back just $200 bucks after contract. While they weren’t able to provide a sans-contract price, they did say that T-Mobile’s subsidy wasn’t very large. Read more… Crunch Network: CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and ...

Updated at the end: Google’s rumored acquisition of game delivery network Valve — and it is, at this point, just a rumor — would give the search giant a robust platform for delivering, updating and charging for digital content. If true, it’s a smart move for Google, and one that should make content delivery firms nervous. It’s also a volley in the war between centralized and distributed computing. Paying for games with advertising is a ...

At 6:40 pm last night, a RockYou employee sent out an email to RockYou’s entire existing and potential advertising partners - 450 people in all. The email itself was a simple notice of RockYou’s new advertising website, and a request to “please change their ad tags to reflect the changes in our ad servers.” Pretty run of the mill stuff, except RockYou included every email address in the CC field, providing every recipient (and everyone ...

As the Web becomes more sophisticated and audio and video becomes a more important part of our online lives, we need something that will help us sift through the junk and find what we’re looking for in all that content. To address that, Google announced Wednesday that it has launched audio indexing in Google Labs. Dubbed GAudi, the new service is designed to work with YouTube, and will catalog all the words uttered during an ...

It's too late to buy Google stock. You're not going to make much money buying it at its current high price. I think the same attitude should apply when trying to meet new people. If you're a relative no-name trying to build a network it's too late to reach out to Mark Zuckerberg to talk about entrepreneurship. He's too busy, too high profile. If you're an aspiring writer and want to meet other writers, you ...

Panda, an open source project, will let any site owner willing to do a little coding and integration work to allow user video uploads and playback. Think YouTube in a box. The software itself is free and will run on Amazon Web Services EC2, S3 and SimpleDB. You’ll have to pay for the Amazon services, but this is a nice step forward from a variety of existing paid services out there like Zencoder, SesameVault and ...

The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), a massive, extremely popular website detailing all aspects of many movies and television shows, has finally added what the site has curiously been missing all along: video. The Amazon-owned site will now offer 6,000 movies and TV shows free of charge from Hulu, CBS, Sony Pictures Television, and hundreds of independent filmmakers. The content will rotate (much as it does on Hulu), depending on the content-owners’ wishes. IMDB will host ...

I love RPGs. I've played them for nearly as long as I've played video games. Even after all these years, I've never lost my enthusiasm for them. If my total hours playing games were translated to a pie chart, RPGs would represent the biggest slice of pie...and, oh, what a tasty slice it would be! :-) In particular, I've always loved Japanese RPGs. I realize not everyone shares my enthusiasm, but the 16-bit era - ...

A Google patent application filed two years ago but published this fall is getting some new attention because it's just too interesting to ignore. The patent (link) is for putting data centers on ships at sea and harvesting the energy in waves for power. The biggest benefit for the company, though, could come from changed legal and tax status by placing the ships outside of national jurisdiction.
