PAX’09: I Primi screenshot di FIFA 10! (No Comments)


Dopo aver visto i primi dettagli, al PAX’09 sono stati rilasciati nuovi screenshots in-game relativi al prossimo titolo di Elecronic Arts: FIFA 10.

Dalle immagini possiamo notare che il gioco dispone di un d-pad analogico sulla sinistra, per controllare i giocatori e due pulsanti A/B, in stile nintendo DS sulla destra, per scegliere il tipo di tiro o passaggio. Sarà possibile eseguire un passaggio con un singolo click oppure un cross con un doppio click veloce.

Per selezionare il giocatore che intendiamo controllare sarà sufficiente cliccargli sopra, utilizzando il touchscreen e successivamente i normali tasti virtuali. L’intelligenza artificiale dei singoli giocatori è alta e questo assicura un ottimo livello simulativo di gioco.

Ci saranno ovviamente varie modalità di gioco che ci permetteranno di avviare un Torneo, giocare le amichevoli, esercitarci sui rigori e “diventare un professionista” controllando un solo giocatore che porteremo a livelli altissimi con la funzione “Be a Pro”.

Per quanto ci riguarda pensiamo che il lancio sia previsto per il 2 Ottobre

Found Footage: Snow Leopard hidden features, great video by a 16 year-old (No Comments)

Filed under: , , ,


Matt Fisher
is a 16 year old high school junior and Apple enthusiast who has been putting up tutorial videos on all things Macintosh since December of 2008. I just saw one that is so good I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Matt has created a video on hidden features in Snow Leopard and although we have covered some of these before, this you have to see. In four minutes and twenty-nine seconds Matt covers more content than most people can cover in an hour, and he does it with grace and total clarity.

Matt found hidden features in:
  • Coverflow
  • Spotlight
  • Resizing of icons
  • Preview viewing modes
  • Hiding windows in dock icons
  • More organized keyboard shortcuts
  • Location based setting of time and date
  • Showing the date in the menubar
  • Stacks
  • Text and symbol substitution
  • The re-emergence of the trash 'put back' feature.
Take a look and I think you'll not only be impressed, but pick up a few things you didn't know.

Thanks go out to Mustafa Histoni for sending in this tip.

It seems that Games seems to be the most downloaded type of application followed by Utility, Social Networking and Productivity apps. I would say that I tend to install games most often too however, the apps that I use most often would be utility type apps.

You can still vote on this Poll in our Poll Archive page. You can also vote/view all the past polls on the Poll Archive page as well.

Ok, the next poll has a story to it.

Today, I left my iPhone in a store for the 1st time ever. I realized my tragic mistake as soon as I turned out of the store’s parking lot. So, I quickly went around the “block,” parked, jumped out of my car and headed inside to see if I had lost my iPhone for good. I knew exactly where I had left it and when I got there… it was gone. I quickly asked the cashier if she had seen it and she said she gave it to the manager. I spotted the manager and realized, to my relief, that he was holding my iPhone in his hand. I then realized that he was doing more than holding it in his hand, him and another manger where playing on it… both had a look that was a mix between confused, awed and guilty. I walked up and asked if they had my iPhone. He handed it to me as he quickly spit out, “We were looking for a way to call you.” I’m not sure if believe that or not. Even if they were, I’m not sure they would have figured out how.

As I walked out of the store, confusion set in as to how they had gotten into my iPhone. I then realized that since I broke my other iPhone and replaced it, I hadn’t put my password back on it. Then I got to thinking that maybe I should leave the password off so people can contact me if they find my iPhone however, I personally prefer the password. So now I’m in a conundrum and do not know if I should have a password or not… I will think about it a while longer. Anyway, that is why I thought of this next poll. Do you use the password feature on your device?

Flickr Find: Apple Store Carosello opening in Milan, Italy (No Comments)

Filed under: , , ,

Ahhhh, Milano! The name makes me think about the Milan Cathedral, La Scala, fashion models, and the aggressive drivers in that city. And now, when I think of Milan, I can also fondly think of the new Apple Store Carosello.

TUAW reader Filippo sent us a link to his Flickr gallery of the opening earlier today, which appears to have attracted a huge crowd of Apple fans. PhilApple, as he is known on Flickr, also captured the traditional "running of the geeks" in a short video upload. This is the well-known phenomenon in which the first customers are greeted by the applause, cheers, and general silliness of the Apple Store employees and other customers.

While I wish Apple had chosen to place the store in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the Piazza Duomo, reputed to be the world's oldest shopping mall, I'm happy for the Milanese to now have their very own Apple Store. Grazie, Filippo, for this set of photos!

Catch a satellite on your iPhone this weekend (No Comments)

Filed under: , , , ,

As summer draws to a close for much of the northern hemisphere, try to get outside for some (hopefully) clear skies and a little star gazing.

We've taken a good look at many of the star gazing apps available for the Mac and the iPhone, and I thought it would be fun to try the 'next step', an iPhone app that finds passing satellites and the International Space Station. There are a lot of websites that give you this information, but having it in an app is even nicer.

I've just tried Satellite Visibility [iTunes link], a US$2.99 app that does the job and worked for me the first time out. You tell the app where you are, or let the phone GPS determine your location. You then get a list of all the brighter manmade objects hurtling around the earth that you can see over the next couple days.

If you click on one, you get detailed info on when it appears, when it falls into the earth's shadow, and what direction to look. In addition, you get little sky maps that show where the object will be in a graphic format.

It was partly cloudy here in Arizona last night, but I did locate the International Space Station as it made about a 1 minute appearance in the southern skies before it went behind a cloud bank.

The data for the app comes from a useful website called Heavens Above which has the information that this iPhone app picks up and uses.

The charts are helpful, but the trail of the satellite against the sky is sometimes subtle on the small iPhone screen. Even though I had my GPS radio on, each time I used the app it turned that option off. It does retain your last location, but I think it should just grab the info and not change my settings.

There are other similar apps available for the iPhone, some more expensive; others are free but missing some features that Satellite Visibility has. I think this app has a nice mix for the money.

If all you want is info for passes of the International Space Station, the developer has a US$1.99 app [iTunes app] that skips all the other satellite data.

I think hunting satellites is fun on a nice clear night, so here's a fresh holiday weekend activity you might enjoy.
