iTunes Creator Working On Apple HDTV. Steve Jobs Bio Blah Blah.
Everyone’s been blathering about the Steve Jobs biography that’s been churned out with stunning rapidity, and all the juicy bullshit in it. One of the factoids that’s continue bouncing around the churning machinery and noise tunnels is that of a purported Apple HDTV.
Mobile App Downloads To Reach 98 Million By 2015. That’s A Lot of Angry Birds.
Mobile apps have gone from the hotness to for many of us what feels like are inextricable parts of daily life. We download them. A lot. At quite a clip.

Video: Taiwanese Animation On Steve Jobs’ Life Involves LSD, Anal Birthing, Toy Story.
NMA is at it again. They’ve churned out a video recounting the life of the former Apple CEO turned Full-Time ninja. As you’d expect, it’s fucking insane. Anal computer birthing, Toy Story cabbage patch dancing, and Darth Gates. Get some.
Steve Jobs Resigns As CEO Of Apple. Going Full-Time Ninja.
Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple. This is like Lenin resigning from Communism. What are they going to do without their Cult of Personality? I know what he’s going to do. Go full ninja.
Bungie Returns To Apple With ‘Bungie Mobile.’ Was Only Matter Of Time.
Bungie used to be total best friends forever with Apple. Then Microsoft made them a deal they couldn’t refuse, sending Steve Jobs into a frenzy. He hit women, ate children. Since then, Bungie created Halo, sat around as Microsoft’s pet, and then last year threw up the deuces and finally went multiplatform. It makes sense now that they’re free, they’ve returned to Apple. In some form.

Hack Away! Microsoft Kinect Hacked To Run on The Mac OS
Theo Watson is a man with some impressive skills. Well, to me at least. I don’t know if he’s like, totally wizard or whatever to other geniuses. But to me? Dude is awesome. The good chap has hacked a Microsoft Kinect, and gotten it to run on a Mac OS. Barely a week after launch! Guffaw! I don’t know the practical applications of it up to this point, but I’m not sure there’s a practical application I can think of for Kinect, in any regard.
None the less, it’s pretty cool. And with this talented man opening up the Kinect to the Mac OS, I can only assume it’ll thusly open up possibility for other people to fuck around with.
Hit the jump for a video of it in motion.
Marvel Comics To Be Available On iPad. Oh Fuck You, Now I DO WANT!
I’m not buying an iPad anytime soon. I’m broke, and unemployed, and a general douchebag. It would be a complete luxury item.
That said.
Via CBR:
On Saturday morning, Mac fans, tech heads and curious members of the public alike will doubtlessly line up in some form or fashion to be the first people to buy Apple’s new iPad device. Though while the new keyboardless computer will carry many apps built for its paper-sized screen from ebooks to video games, the question on most comic fans minds since its announcement in January has been when comics will be made available for download. And tonight, a first answer to that query came with the news that Marvel Comics will have a launch app ready for the iPad’s first week on sale, produced by comiXology.
OH GOOD GOD, MARVEL COMICS ON IT!?
Just the concept alone makes me tingly in the groin. I don’t even know if I would use it for that, but the idea alone makes me hot. I love my comic book shop, and I love tangibly owning comics, so I’m pretty torn. But if I could supplement my weekly trip the shop with some splurging in the middle of the night on a random comic?
Good fucking god.
I’m man-wet.
