Saturday Feature: Amazing Gaming Screenshots

After discovering this site in the latter part of this week, I am very, very amazed by it. Essentially everything on photoblog Deadendthrills is a screenshot of a video game, but completely unedited and looks absolutely, amazingly, awesome *insert different synonyms for aforementioned vocabulary here*. Check it out, and come back here when you’ve had enough screenshots for one day.

Macbook Air 11.6-inch Review

It’s an Apple product, folks. If you’re a hater of the most close-minded and close-sourced manufacturer in the industry, read something else on LaptopMemo. If you’ve realized that Apple has been leading the market in design and innovation for mobile products (read: iPad and iPhone), then continue reading, because you’re smart enough to see things as they truly are. Moving on.

Giveaway: 5 Battlefield Play4Free Closed Beta Keys!

Listen up readers! My internet frandz at EA just gave me the O.K. and now they’ve been kind enough to hand me over 5 beta keys for Battlefield Play4Free! As a few of you might know, it’s like Battlefield 2, but with massively updated graphics with many Bad Company 2 elements. I’ve been toying around with this game for a while, and can’t say that it’s half-bad — it’s quite fun to play for a “free” title, actually.

Rules: Go ahead and leave a comment below saying why you want a beta key. One comment per person, no silly I.P. address trickery, and you must have the permission of your parents if you are under 18 and want to enter, as well as if you win, to play the game. Winners are announced on Friday, March 25.

Good luck!

Leaked: iPad 2 Keynote Presentation Date (And Some Proof Of It Occurring)

Recently, in one of my late-night jogging of the blogs, I stumbled upon Dustin Snider (again). Turns out, he had an exclusive running on his site, TechCores. What he claims to have leaked is the keynote date for the iPad 2, and the time-frame of which invites would be sent to the press. Obviously, all Apple rumors are to be taken with buckets full of salt, so I pressed on for something tangible.

Hello, email with numbers and dates.

Most of this is under very, very tight wrapping, but from the reliable sources I could squeeze this out of (and there’s more than one, hence the use of plural), this seems to be good enough to make the assumptions needed to state that, one, the iPad 2 is being announced very soon, and that two, the persons involved are very — ahem, dare I repeat the cheesy phrase used by print publications as, “people in the know”. But don’t hate on us if this turns sour. Via: TechCores

Neapolitan Astronaut Ice Cream Review: Freeze-Dried Goodness

This is Astronaut Ice Cream. Space astronauts usually have a freeze-dried version of the delicious dessert we Earthlings know as ice cream, but in the form of a dried brick. After ordering some of this stuff for $3 at ThinkGeek (no affiliation with them), I chose the classic “Neapolitan” flavor, which consists of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Read on for the full review, and learn how this stuff is made!

A Windows Phone 7 Review Right Before The New Year

After much waiting and anxiety, one of my flying ninjas was able to send a Windows Phone 7 device my way, and the review is up two days before New Year. The new mobile smartphone platform is aimed at being Microsoft’s new entry into the smartphone market, with many original design elements, and an easy-to-understand user interface. As an Android and iOS fan, I can be extremely straightforward: it feels better than Android, and provides direct competition. Read on, and see why.

LG Quantum Hands-On

Another box (smaller than the CR-48, of course) showed up today, and it contained an LG Quantum. This will be just a quick few quick impressions of what’s it like to use a Windows Phone 7 device (specifically the Quantum itself), in the bullet points below.

  • It’s a little heavy and bulky, and is a gallery of different plastics of different qualities. The Quantum is the lowest-end feeling handset in the WP7 line, and it shows (but it isn’t bad).
  • Windows Phone 7 flies on the 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
  • Slide-out keyboard is a little too large for comfortable use, and the FN/caps keys are oddly shaped and positioned.
  • The 5 megapixel camera with 720 HD recording are both well-balanced in terms of colors, and shutter speed.
  • The screen orientation doesn’t change when you open the keyboard. That is utter failure on LG’s and Microsoft’s part.
  • I’m going to have to spend plenty of time with the Quantum and WP7 to fully understand its pros and cons.

And a gallery is below, for your viewing pleasure (you’re welcome, don’t mention it).

Hands-On With The Cr-48 Chrome Laptop!

Either this is surprise package day here at LaptopMemo HQ, or the tech gods are happy with us. In came the CR-48, Google’s reference hardware for Chrome OS. Right off the bat I’ve unboxed it, and found that the setup is extremely fast and easy, that all my bookmarks, apps, and history are available, and that this will be one of the most interesting tests I’ve done for a laptop.

The built-in camera works relatively smooth, the matte screen can be pretty (very) bright, and of course, the island-style keyboard is very comfortable (reminds me heavily of the Macbook Air and black Macbook). And as most reports have confirmed, the touchpad sucks, so I’ve connected the Tron Razer mouse which I reviewed earlier, and guess what? It works! The VGA port I haven’t used yet, and the SD card slot confuses me (don’t know where to browse the contents of the card). The USB works very well though.

Now if you’ll excuse us, it’s time to have lunch, and start extensively testing the CR-48. Check out the gallery below while I’m doing that and you’re — doing something.
