Deepworld now available on the Mac App Store
Deepworld is a game that I've been covering since last year's GDC, when the three guys running the game came to tell me that they were putting together a 2D, multiplayer online sandbox title, in the same vein as Minecraft but with a steampunk twist. Last year, the game launched on Mac, and then it arrived on iOS, and the latest news, as relayed to me by Bytebin at last week's GDC, is that the game is now out on the Mac App Store for free.
Obviously, as the game was already available on the Mac, this isn't necessarily a big

AMD roadmap shows Steamroller-based Opterons on track for 2013
AMD gave us a tease of its next-generation Steamroller architecture in 2012, but things weren't looking good for pro users when the initial timeline had current-generation Piledriver technology as the focus for Opterons in 2013. Thanks to a newer investor presentation, there's a glimmer of hope for the workstation and server users among us. Its roadmap shows Steamroller-equipped Opteron variants arriving this year, with an Excavator follow-up coming at an undetermined point

Streaming radio may be the next frontier for Apple's music efforts

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 LTE hits AT&T retail on April 5th with a $249 contract option
Have you eyed the LTE version of Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 8.9, yet remained skittish about buying such a relatively expensive tablet sight-unseen? AT&T is now willing to accommodate you: stop by an AT&T retail store from April 5th onward and you can pick up a 32GB model in person. The carrier is also offering an alternative purchase model. The $399 contract-free purchase is still available for those who want their freedom, but the initial price can drop to $249 for anyone willing to sign a two-year contract for a data plan.

Review: RadTech RadSleevz for iPad mini

It’s soft, and can be used as a cleaning cloth when not protecting your iPad. In its natural state, RadSleevz is a slightly smaller than the tablet, but it easily stretches to properly fit the shape as you insert the device through the open edge.

San Francisco Apple Store to be expanded
Apple is planning to expand its retail store in San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria, says a report in ifoAppleStore. The Stonestown store is one of Apple's smallest retail stores with a storefront that measures 25 feet wide and a footprint that offers a measly 1,500 square feet of retail space for customers, merchandise and services.
According to ifoAppleStore, Apple will be moving to a nearby location in the mall that'll triple the space of its current store. The new spot will have a curved glass front, which will fit in nicely with Apple's design aesthetics.

3 things Apple should steal from Google and Facebook for iOS 7

Whatever the case, I hope Apple will consider stealing borrowing these three UI features from Facebook and Google iOS apps to make iOS even simpler to use:

NVIDIA outs new mobile GPU line, boasts 'every leading notebook manufacturer' support

Thirty-seven years ago today Apple, a fledgling "personal computer" company, was founded. The company was later incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. in January of 1977, but those of us who share the love of pranks and fun that helped launch Apple like to celebrate the "birthday" on April Fool's day. Years later, in 2007, Apple dropped the "computer" from its title, heralding a new era beyond personal computers.

Ericsson T28z review
When Ericsson launched the T28 in 1999, it was the lightest and slimmest phone on the market. It was also the first handset ever to use a lithium polymer battery. The T28 was a premium device -- Ericsson described it as "designer technology", and it was successful with business executives before the Blackberry became popular. Unlike its bar-shaped competitors, the T28 was immediately recognizable by its signature antenna stub and "active flip" keypad cover. Ericsson packed the phone with state-of-the-art features like voice dialing and an optional Bluetooth dongle. It came in three versions: T28s (GSM 1800 / 900), T28z (GSM 1900) and T28 World (GSM 1900/900). Our

Feedly Mobile revamp caters to Reader escapees with fast search, Must Reads

Rather than simply wait for more customers to roll in on their own, though, the company is taking matters into its own hands with a major refresh of Feedly Mobile for Android and iOS.

Prank crashes iMessages
Late last week, several iOS developers were hit with a denial of service attack that used Apple iMessages as the vector. According to a report in The Next Web, Grant Paul (chpawn), iH8sn0w and a half-dozen other developers were flooded with text messages that crashed the iMessages app on iOS.
The person or group behind the attack is not known, but The Next Web believes it originated with a Twitter account that sells UDIDs and provisioning profiles to iOS owners who want to sideload pirated apps. The attacker likely used the OS X Messages app and Applescript to automate the sending of text messages. When the attack was in

Gigs2Go: USB-Sticks im Einmalpappgewand

Galaxy on Fire Alliances takes Fishlabs' setting in a new direction
A little while back, Fishlabs announced that they were working on a new title in the Galaxy on Fire space exploration series of games, and that it would take a bit of a new direction, as a strategy MMO rather than as an action title. Last week at GDC, I got to sit down with the company and see the new game, and I can say it was very impressive indeed. Fans who just wanted to play another version of the same game may be a bit disappointed, but Alliances represents a great new direction for the series, and has provided a good chance for Fishlabs to use this great engine they've built to show off their talent in another genre.
I'm not sure quite what this genre is called: I guess "strategy MMO" is closest,

Apple's 'iPad Mini' Trademark Application Initially Denied, but Resolution Should Be Simple
Over the weekend, Patently Apple reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office had refused Apple's trademark application for the term "iPad mini". While some such as The Verge's Nilay Patel were quick to note that the refusal was simply a first office action that is nowhere near final, the refusal does offer an interesting glimpse into the thinking of patent examiners. The examiner's primary objection to Apple's application takes the view that the term is "merely descriptive" rather than creating a unique brand name that is worthy of protection. The examiner argues that all elements of the name, including "i", "Pad", a

Since I'm a huge Warhammer 40k fan, I was very excited to hear that a company named Full Control is planning to port the old Space Hulk board game to iOS, and I was even more excited to find the game up and running on the floor of GDC last week in San Francisco. Unfortunately, Full Control's game has quite a bit of development yet to go. It's definitely working, and the team is moving towards an iOS-playable version of the famous Warhammer board game. But the animations and the balance both need a lot of work yet before the title is set to arrive this fall.

Cutetown San Francisco is an interesting iPad app for creating 3D maps
This app won't be easy to describe, but here goes. Cutetown is a free iPad app equipped with an aerial photo of San Francisco and parts of the Stanford University Campus. You can select buildings from the 2D photo, then extrude them in height, width and depth before adding pre-formed 3D roofs, windows, doors, etc. When you are done, a 3D building has been added to the map and you can go back and grab another. It's not a serious map making or 3D app, but kind of like having some control over a Sim City layout without the animation.
The app features a tutorial -- which isn't always clear -- after which you're sent on your way to start creating buildings. You have to sign up for an a

Semi-official 'Apple Refurb' Ebay store closed
An eBay store that sold refurbished Apple products -- seemingly with Apple's blessing -- at prices equal to or below those of Apple's own refurbished store has been closed, at least temporarily. The store, which sold officially-refurbished Apple products under the seller name "refurbished_outlet" (a long-standing power seller on eBay) now has no products listed after zeroing out all inventory sometime Saturday. The store gained notoriety by selling some items below normal refurb prices, offering a PayPal option, and avoiding taxes in some states.

Wieder einmal bereitet der Schutz eines Markennamens Apple Kopfzerbrechen: Das US-Patent- und Markenamt hat einen Antrag Apples abgelehnt, den Namen “iPad mini” schützen zu lassen. Die Begründung: Der Name sei lediglich deskriptiv. Dabei bezieht sich der Bearbeitet des Antrags nicht nur auf den Zusatz “mini”.

Tesla Model S axes 40kWh battery option, surpasses sales goals
Thinking of picking up the budget Tesla Model S? Think again: the electric automaker just announced that it won't be sending its 40kWh battery pack option into production, citing a lack of customer demand. Customers who opted for the lower range configuration will still get a car, of course, but it will be a 60kWh machine with software restrictions on range.

Tim Cook High School yearbook photos reveal Apple CEO was voted "most studious" two years running
Largely regarded and respected as an extremely hardworking and efficient, recently released High School photos of Apple CEO Tim Cook reveal that Cook was diligent as a student as he is now as an executive.
The photos below were unearthed this past weekend by a user on Reddit and show that Cook, like most of us, was a gawky teenager prone to the fashion of the times - in this case, an interesting pair of plaid pants. That's certainly surprising and somewhat comical given Cook's current reputation for being rather straight laced.
Here we see a photo of Cook, along with his snazzy pants, holding a trophy for winning his school's optimist oratorical contest.
