I was listening to the CNBC Sirius channel (FastMoney) this afternoon and heard the talking heads blathering about the June 9th World Wide Developers Conference presentation that Steve Jobs is giving- the scuttle is that the new iPhone will be unveiled right there and then. The phone will then go on sale a few weeks later.
The time frame seems wrong to me but I guess we'll see. (not for the announcement, but for the release date.)

Wanna go really fast? And it's dangerous too!
I think I'm out of words...
It's a motorcycle you can wear.
This may be the coolest thing ever. Better than the exo-suit. These renders look phenomenal, I don't know how big the chance is that it'll ever get made but it's freakin awesome!

Mr. Niko goes to San Andreas
Completely forgot to mention this!
There was a discovery made on the GTA forums that may shed some light on the DLC that soon (this fall) will be available over Xbox Live (exclusively).
What do you think of that?
It could be just another cool little easter egg for fans of the series- or it could be a whole state full of DLC! Joystiq had mentioned that you'd need a bigger hard drive for all that GTA goodness, but not so, says I.
If the DLC was spaced out to include one major city at a time, (were there three in SA?) that would make a pretty cool little series. maybe with one major overall story arch linking the three city destinations of San Andreas into one big west coast adventure for Niko.
Then again, how about this- The DLC is three completely seperate adventures. One leading Niko to San Andreas (one location there), one leading him to a modern day Vice City, and the final one taking him across the pond to London! That may be reaching a bit but you have to admit it'd be pretty slick.

GTA madness
Who's not playing this?
I've heard it said that this is the first Grand Theft Auto with a heart. It really is. The protagonist, Niko Bellic, is the first main character in a GTA that you can actually root for. Yes, he's a bad guy- but he's got his reasons. There's also a story here that's second to none in the series as well as a living breathing world that it's all wrapped up in that's going to be very hard for any other game to top.
The 'Godfather' of gaming? Yeah, I think so.

iPhone is, like, totally 3g
It's really only a matter of time now until the g-bomb drops.
I'm hearing as early as the last week of June. That might be a little soon- there's not even been an announcement yet. Little to no hype, I don't know- it just seems wrong. Unless this is really going to be a non-event kind of thing. I really can't see that happening but that's what it's looking like if the launch is, in fact, that close.

iPhone part deux
Here's the first scuttle on the forthcoming iPhone 2.0 on Engadget. It's not much at this point, but it's better than nothing. Most of the improvements seem like things that were left out of the original, which isn't a bad thing- the biggest difference seems to be the glossy plastic shell that will replace the aluminum one. Looks pretty good to me.
My one wish for Apple though is to include a digi-zoom for the camera (and a higher mp count wouldn't hurt either).

GTA delay?
Industry analyst Michael Pachter has announced his belief that EA will delay the highly anticipated Grad Theft Auto 4 from it's 4/29 release date until sometime in the fall. This done in order to take advantage of the lucrative fourth quarter shopping season. And, of course, it should be pointed out that EA doesn't yet own Take Two- the company that actually owns GTA, so this all seems a bit premature. Especially since TT want no part of a merger.
Nonetheless, Pacter believes the only reason Take Two would drop GTA 4 in April would be because the company needs money so badly that they can't wait any longer. I personally don't see it that way (even if it rings true). With a fall release, GTA would be going up against, among others, Gears of War 2 and Resistance 2- both mega-blockbusters for their respective platforms. Not really the best idea.
But I don't understand why this is even being discussed at all. There's no deal in place yet to combine the companies! Bottom line? Hopefully the game will release on time and we'll all have our GTA fix for the spring/summer. That and EA doesn't need to absorb any more companies. Really. They don't need to be no richer.
