Yes, if your a listener of our podcast you may have suspected this for some time. Today however I can confirm it, i’m an idiot.

How did this news come to light? After finishing Mass Effect 2 (a quick 36 Hour investment on my behalf) I went ahead and deleted the Mass Effect 2 folder on my 360. To ensure that the idiot test came back positive I proceeded to install Guitar Hero Greatest Hits onto my HDD.

Days later when I realised that the save game was in the folder I deleted I jumped onto my nearest computer & did a quick Google for “Recover xbox 360 save game”. I found that for $25 AUD I could purchase a HDD data transfer cable for PC, combined with either XPort360 or Xplorer360, I would be able to restore deleted data.

Upon receiving the cable & trying multiple times to restore my data, only to have both programs continually crash, another quick Google soon relieved I would only be able to recover my save game if nothing had been overwritten. Yup, you guessed it, I sacrificed 36 hours of game play (& i’m guessing a few achievement points once I complete Mass Effect 3 with the one character) for a few seconds less loading time when playing GH-GH!

Yep.  The world’s worst kept secret was announced yesterday with Apple announcing its foray into the tablet market with the oh-so inspired, meticulously thought about…ummmm…iPad. Umm, OK.

All tampon jokes aside however, I did just finish watching the promo video on Apple’s website. Firstly, all the speakers seem like they have just had the best lines of Bolivian available. Waaaaaaaayyyy to overly excited about their new gear. They were foaming from the mouths about this amazing new technology that has never been done before that, well, looks like a giant iPhone and seems to work in the exact same way. Which is OK….just not anything new.

I think the real interesting thing to see in future is how iPad will go against Kindle. Apple are launching a book store, similar to the App store, but will it be as extensive as Amazon’s catalogue?  We will wait and see.

Price tag is accessible starting from around $500 making it only slightly more expensive then the Kindle.

Of course, who am I kidding.  If your an Apple fan then you have already pre-ordered one anyway without any objectivity. I’ll hold out for version 2

The maiden voyage for the WoardPress app on my iPhone. If your reading this it’s proof the system works! Let us all take a minute & enjoy the many hours of work others have put into programing for this to have worked.

Looks like even rock stars can’t get out of Google Street View’s all probing eye. Flaming Lips front-man Wayne Coyne was caught doing one of his famous Halloween stunts in his local neighbourhood of Oklahoma City. From the Sydney Morning Herald:

“The band’s eccentric front-man Wayne Coyne, 49, can be seen in his home town of Oklahoma City lounging beneath a crude hand-painted red and yellow sign that reads “Blob in the bath”. The image can be accessed by anyone on Google Maps.

The discovery was made by a member of the official Flaming Lips forum, who verified the find by providing links to videos and pictures on the band’s MySpace page, which features the same bath.

Apparently the outdoor bath was an art experiment created by Coyne for Halloween a few years ago.

The bath was configured to boil like a cauldron and blood appears to be splattered across the scene.”
