Star Trek prequel coming to the iPhone
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Multimedia, Software, Odds and ends, iPhone, App Store, iPod touch
Ok then. Apparently J.J. Abrams, who's directing the new Star Trek movie, has worked with some comic book creators to (get this) bring a prequel of the prequel to the small screen before it appears on the big one. Whew. They're releasing a series of iPhone apps, which are actually "mini-comics" telling the pre-story of the movie. And here's where it gets really confusing (and spoilerific): apparently, while the movie is a prequel featuring a young Kirk and Spock, the story's villian is actually a time-traveler from Star Trek: TNG times. Which means the iPhone comics actually star Picard and his TNG crew, and tell the story of the movie's villian, a Romulan named Nero. I originally though the film was a non-canon reboot of the series, but no -- apparently even though we've never seen this era on film before, it is still mean to fit right in the Federation's universe.
Still with us and interested? You actually are a Star Trek fan! (I prefer Star Wars myself.) The comics are going for 99 cents each (you can apparently pick up the same comic in print for $3.99), and are available in the App Store right now.

Seagate to Launch its First 2 TB 3.5" HD Soon
Seagate unveiled a new NAS model, the BlackArmor. Beside its performance and its support for up to 4 HDs, specifications indicate that it will soon be available with 8 TB storage space (8 TB = 4 x 2 TB). In other words, Seagate will soon join Western Digital as the second manufacturer of 2 TB HD. It might even be the first 2 TB HD spinning at 7200 rpm, however, there is no define release date.
iPhone 3.0 Wish List: Accessory-Powered Apps We Want
Forget copy-and-paste. The real seed of innovation planted in the upcoming iPhone 3.0 upgrade is the OS's ability to interact with special accessories via Bluetooth and the dock connector.
AMD Will Launch its Radeon HD 4890 on April 2nd
It is on April 2nd that AMD/ATI will officially launch the new flagship, the Radeon HD 4890, which should be immediately available.
Without bringing any deep modifications, when compared to the Radeon HD 4870 recently made available for Mac Pro owners, the Radeon HD 4890 brings an average 10% performance gain. This is mostly achieved by increasing both GPU and memory frequencies. In addition, some early tests have shown that this graphic card can easily and stably be overclocked. Some sites claim to have pushed the GPU fequency to 1 GHz instead of the default 850 MHz. The best news is most probably its price, as it should be around 250 USD. If one can find a way to flash this GPU with the bios from a Mac edition card, the Radeon HD 4890 might also become popular among Mac users, especially for those who do not need the DisplayPort output.
Sway releases a free version
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Gaming, Software, Developer
The full version still costs $4.99, and if you enjoy the free version, I highly recommend it: there are many more characters that you can pick up and choose from, and the stages actually get really tough, as there's a lot of precise swinging that you'll have to do to explore the whole area and find everything there is to find. Sway might be a sleeper hit for the iPhone -- it took me a little while to figure it all out, but once I did, I found a control scheme that's delightfully original. If you haven't tried it out yet, definitely take advantage of the free version.

In weak economy, Adobe touts CS4 productivity [video]
The recession has brought a sea-change in the way Adobe is marketing CS4. Instead of focusing on fancy new features, the new mantra is ROI -- return on investment. To that end, the company has commissioned what it says is independent research proving CS4 can save "thousands of dollars a year" over the previous version thanks to built-in timesavers and other workflow improvements. In other words, C...

If it is too early compare the price Mac Pro with models from Dell, as configurations are not accessible yet, one can play a simple game, and try to identify which of the following two computers illustrate Dell's skill for integration?
