Members Only: Spotify Requires New Users to Get Friendly With Facebook

The problem with hitching your wagon to a shooting star, as online music service Spotify is beginning to discover, is that sometimes you can get burned. Spotify is one of several online music services that have teamed up with Facebook recently and was singled out by the social networking giant at its f8 developers conference in San Francisco last week.

TBB Review: Iphone 5

Apple has done it again, and this time they are introducing one of the best ever made hand held devices the market has ever seen. I want to shy away from using the term phone, as this term really does not do any good to this amazing device. Many of us were impressed with the iphone 4 and its amazing specs and features. However, according to the Apple engineers the iphone 5 will be one of the best iphone ever [...]

Get a View of the Past with WhatWasThere

I’ve lived in Greensboro for many years now, and I’m continually amazed by how it’s changed since I moved here. �I often notice a new building as I’m driving along and try to remember what used to be there. �Many of the houses in my neighborhood were demolished to make way for a cross-town road [...]

Boomshine is a soothing-yet-frustrating time waster

One click; just one single well-aimed click. That's all you get in Boomshine.

That single click triggers a chain reaction; circles start exploding, and other circles colliding with the shockwaves explode as well, creating their own shockwaves, which then catch other circles.

It's been done before, yes, but this one is a great iteration. The soundtrack is mellow, with lots of piano and some nice percussion (not electronic - it sounds like drums).

At each level you need to make a certain number of circles explode to go on to the next level. I got up to level 12, where you get 60 circles and need to make 55 of them explode. And then I kept trying and trying, but simply couldn't get it. I did get to 54 circles a couple of times, but as they say, you don't get points for trying.

There's no time limit, so you can carefully study the pattern of motion and place your click at the exact right place to create the best chain reaction. I've found that clicking near the middle of the screen works quite well, especially if the balls are slowly moving in that direction. By the time the first shockwave dies off, the oncoming balls usually hit it and the chain reaction continues.

What level did you reach? Screenshots please!

Disney launches two new Android smartphones, mouse ears not included

Mickey's ditching the steamboat and giving up Fantasia in pursuit of all things mobile as Disney launches the DM011SH and DM010SH -- joining the company's other Android offering. The 4-inch 3D capable DM010SH handset will be Walt's top-of-the-line variant with a 960 x 540 qHD touchscreen, 8MP camera and a 1GHz processor. Next in line is the DM011SH waterproof slider with a 3.4-inch touchscreen sporting 854 X 480 resolution and an identical processor and camera to its higher-end cousin. Both Android 2.3 phones come decorated with the signature insignia in tweentastic candy colors like pink and white, with a black version of the DM010SH available for more subdued Mouse House fans. Aside from the phones, Disney also outed the internet-enabled DM001Photo, a 9.4 x 5.6-inch digital picture frame for viewing pictures, videos and emails over 3G for ¥890 (or $11) a month. Although prices have yet to be finalized, the DM010SH is slated to hit the Japanese market in October, while the other two should appear on store shelves by December. Check out the full Japanese PR and product pages by hitting the source links after the break.
