Back in my Nintendo days I was always a big fan of the Mario Kart games. There was nothing like cruising around, pooping out banana peels onto the track and watching your opponents go sliding around as a result. Well you can’t get Mario Kart for the iPhone 3G but you can get something just [...]

There are lots and lots of free games out there for the iPhone and iPod Touch but it’s pretty tough to figure out which ones are worth downloading.
Here’s a list of games I think you’ll enjoy and best of all…they’re free! They won’t cost you a cent! You can’t beat that!

Wondering how to get WAR to run on your Macintosh? Well wonder no more!
In my last column, I talked about how lame it was that Mythic didn’t have a Mac version of their fantastic new game, Warhammer Online. Well even if you can’t buy an official Mac version you can still play Warhammer Online [...]

Usually when Apple does one of these things the [...]

Spore has proven to be an incredibly popular game on the Mac and PC. Now you can get a version of it for your iPhone 3G as well. The iPhone version doesn’t let you get past the cell stage, unlike the Mac or PC version. Unfortunately you won’t get the full version that you’d get [...]

Google’s new browser “Chrome” got a lot of press last week. The technology presstitutes were falling all over themselves, drooling and blabbing on and on about how great Google’s browser is and how it was a missile aimed at Microsoft, etc., etc. Well I’m not very excited about it all for a number reasons and [...]

Comcast finally dropped the truth on its cable TV and Internet customers and now there will be a 250GB limit for all Comcast subscribers.
As reprehensible as this decision is, it should come as no surprise to ET’s readers. I talked about it in another column back in May. We all knew Comcast was considering [...]
