If you ran to the whack-a-mole booth when visiting a favorite arcade or just love to squash insects then Cartoon Roach may be just the game you need. It is one of those games with a fun, simple concept that makes for a great time killer; the object is to go nuts smashing roaches as they scurry across the screen. But you can’t get too crazy because some of them are “good” roaches and squashing them will spell your end. The more roaches you smash earns additional weapons and tools. After a few smashes you will notice golden stars accumulating at the bottom of the screen — now shaking the device will kill off all evil roaches
As mentioned previously, the Samsung Captivate launches on July 18th on AT&T for $199, making it the first respectable (in our opinion) Android smartphone on the AT&T network. So while you’ll have to wait until Sunday to get your hands on one, we were able to get an early look at the device thanks to AT&T, and while our review is forthcoming, we put together an unboxing gallery showing off the device
The term ‘iPhone killer’ has been applied to many handsets, as manufacturers have strived to produce a mobile phone that matches the market appeal of the Apple iPhone.

However, that may be about to change, and the contender for the title is a handset that no one could have predicted just a few weeks ago….. ….We’re talking about the iPhone 4

It’s a shame for Microsoft that the Russian spy caught working there was a slightly balding geek with poor taste in sweaters rather than a sexy redhead. A glamorous spy working on Windows 7.5 say, would have done something for..
When the iPhone 4 launched, there was a rush and quick shortage of the iPhone 4 Bumper Case . When Apple announced the cases, there were five colors announced (black, white, orange, blue, green, and pink,) but when the device launched, only the black case was available.

Futuristic Power Station Design? Government Drawings From The 1960’s
During the 1960’s the United States Government was busy designing new power stations. The electrical stations employed a modernist flair and were put into a book that touts the job of “electrical engineer” as the “must have” job of the future. Grain Edit provides a nice description of the stations: The problem of locating electric power structures and lines is becoming increasingly difficult. The public is sensitive to and critical of the appearance of such facilities which traditionally have been designed on a function-reliability-safety-initial low cost basis with little consideration given aesthetics.

Now I’m not a fan of a lot of Icon’s offerings, nor believe it or not does the name of Brian Michael Bendis automatically incite me to buy. (Avengers Disassembled anyone? Not the greatest of masterpieces in my eyes.) Scarlet made me eat my words however. The first few pages made me more irritated than not, going from a scene of vengeance driven death (yawn) to breaking the fourth wall by the third page. Oh my I thought. Yet more pretentious, potentially decompressed waste of my time.
Windows Phone 7 SDK Beta and Developer Training Kit Refresh Now Available
Well, it’s a bit later than expected, but it’s well worth the wait.

Among the highlights – In addition to the inclusion of Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone Developers, the beta is compatible with the RTM version of Visual Studio 2010 (no more VS 2010 RC for me).
