For one, we’re in the middle of production on another game, and can’t simply drop everything to implement this because Google finally delivered on a year-old promise. And secondly, as I mentioned on Twitter, our Android apps aren’t making money.
Winning.

In his diary, Warhol later wrote, “I said that once some man had been calling me a lot wanting to give me one [a Macintosh], but I’d never called him back or something, and then the kid looked up and said, ‘Yeah, that was me. I’m Steve Jobs.’”

All told, STAR went through almost a thousand rumor stories over the past six months.
The only problem I have with this is including Mac Rumors and AppleInsider.I know that sounds strange, but you expect to see rumors on those sites. They report and aggregate rumor stories for us, which is they’re whole model.
What I’m more interested in is the sites that publish rumors that don’t say they are rumor sites.
Still, fascinating findings.
“Customer response to the new iPad has been off the charts and the quantity available for pre-order has been purchased,” Apple said in a statement. “Customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date.”
So much for the people that said it wouldn’t sell.
This is just classic from Matt Thomas.
If you were wondering what security fixes iOS 5.1 features, Apple posted a document on its Web site.
It’s possible, notes a researcher, that beards are meant not to attract women, but to “fend off other males.” Perhaps that makes sense: Males described the bearded men as older and tougher.
Women love the beard.
This is cool. Find a font you like and then pay what you want to use it.
John Gruber is on vacation so Dan Benjamin is joined by Jim Dalrymple of The Loop to discuss Apple rumors, 20 years of publishing and following Apple, the new iPad, iPhoto, the future of Apple, and much more.
It was a pleasure to fill in for John.

680 News is a local AM station in Toronto that does all news all the time. They started a Twitter feed back in 2008 that alternately informs and annoys. Then there are times you wonder if the person tweeting is actually lucid.
With crime lord Charles Jericho now on the loose, San Francisco faces a terrible threat. Only one man can stand against him. He has driven the streets of a hundred cities and spent his whole life putting criminals behind bars. But to take Jericho down, there can be no turning back, and he knows that this may very well be his last ride. His name is John Tanner. He is the DRIVER.
I’m not much of a gamer, but I like driving and shooting games.
After the iPad event ended, I had the opportunity to test out the new device and see if it really was as good as it seemed in the demos. […]
The iPad event will start at 10:00 am PT. I’m at the event and will bring you updates as they happen. […]
This update resolves an issue when restoring a Mac from a Time Machine backup. This update is recommended for users running 10.7.3 with Time Machine backups.
People keep talking about the iPad and if it can replace their PC. The truth is, for a lot of people it can replace the PC, but I think many people are looking at this the wrong way. […]
The Sun:
Sony music suffered its second major security breach in a year, with thieves targeting songs and unreleased material by the superstar singer.It’s alleged they downloaded more than 50,000 music files, worth £160million, in the biggest ever cyber attack on a music company.
Has Sony ever heard of security?
I’m sure I’ve been been at this light.

And I also don’t think they really understand the idea that people want to have access to that content anytime, anywhere and on any device they own.
Tim’s article is just chock full of quotes I could pull out, but for me, this is one of the biggest reasons Apple can take over the industry. Traditional market leaders don’t want things to change and that’s exactly why Apple dominates the music, smartphone, tablet and MP3 player markets.
Apple isn’t afraid to turn a market on its head and introduce a new way of doing things.

Strolling around the Microsoft Store in Santa Clara, Calif., there’s no getting around the fact that you’ve seen this all before. Like, across the street — where a brightly lit, glass-paneled Apple Store stands.
A couple of screenshots and the 2011 trailer.
The picture says it all.
Impressive.

Apple on Monday named the winner of its 25 billionth app download. The app counter rolled over to 25 billion on Friday night and people have been wondering who the winner was ever since.
According to Apple, the 25 billionth app downloaded, Where’s My Water? Free, was downloaded by Chunli Fu of Qingdao, China. Chunli Fu will receive a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
“We’d like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve this historic milestone of 25 billion apps downloaded,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. “When we launched the App Store less than four years ago, we never imagined that mobile apps would become the phenomenon they have, or that developers would create such an incredible selection of apps for iOS users.”

The difference between DRM in eBooks and DRM in music is now DRM’s main purpose isn’t to combat piracy but to ensure competitive lock-in.
Some interesting thoughts.
