Everyone needs help, at times…Sony studios helping to support indie game developers. Sony Santa Monica studios scout for developers for incubation program. Nontraditional games like “Journey” and “Flower” have been supported. In development, “The Unfinished Swan” explores a surreal blank canvas.

Could it have been the greatest thing ever???1982′s Grid Systems’ Grid Compass 1101 was the first laptop. Nobody was smart enough to declare its basic design would dominate the PC business. The clamshell design is one of the most clever pieces of engineering in computing history. The clamshell didn’t get a truly formidable competitor until Apple announced the first iPad.

            The game also features numerous objectives.  These include playing the game upside down, reaching the 9^th island, accumulating certain scores and being in fever mode for over thirty seconds to name a few.  After completing a series of three objectives the player earns a new nest.  Each nest adds another score multiplayer thus creating higher scores.  The only downside to this game is that there is no IPAD version you have to download the Iphone version and stretch the screen.  This game may be the most addictive game I have played in awhile.  I give Tiny Wings five wings out of five.

For those who are switching to Lion from a PC will have their fair share of problems getting adjusted because there really is not any operating system like this.  It will also be somewhat difficult for current Mac users as well unless they have an Iphone or IPAD.  Many of the Iphone and IPAD features are now fully integrated into Lion.  For those who do not have the free Mac App Store or are waiting to buy a hard copy of Lion instead of downloading it will have to wait until August and it will cost $69.99 instead of the $29.99 downloading price.

However, this app does have several shortcomings when compared to its browser version.  First off is its lack of videos.  Unfortunately, Apple still does not have FlashPlayer, so when stumbling you rarely stumble upon any videos.  Another issue I found is that fact that you actually have to leave the app in order to save images or copy links.  What I mean by this is that you have to press a button that then loads the current page you have stumbled upon on the Safari browser.  Only here can links be copied and pictures can be saved.  One of the biggest issues I have is that when you exit the app you lose the site you are at.  The app automatically restarts once you have left the app.  For these reasons, I give the StumbleUpon app a 3.5 out of 5 stars because it does have some major shortcomings, but never the less, you ill still be as addicted to it as you are to the regular browser version.

These new price hikes come as part of Netflix’s continued shift to focus more on online streaming than mail order DVD rentals.  This is also a result of Movie Studios demanding higher prices for their content because less and less people are paying for DVD’s.  Sony Pictures actually ended their partnership with Netflix resulting in their films no longer be offered by the service.  This is a result of studios wanting more money because so many people are streaming films and Sony only gets a fixed percentage.  The price hike however was met with the renewal of the partnership between Netflix and NBC Universal.

As one could expect the price hikes were not met with very much enthusiasm.  Netflix blogs were filled with complaints over the new prices.  Many people have threatened to switch to rival services like Hulu and Amazon while others have stated that they will just stock up on DVD’s.  Only time will tell how this will effect Netflix.
