Posted: 09 Jun 2011 09:49 AM PDT

For Chris Malloy, it all began with a fateful helicopter ride. Long story short (and canceling out the obligatory anecdote), riding a helicopter compelled him to build an honest to goodness hoverbike for a more intense flying experience.

Apple Changes In App Subscritption Rules

Posted: 09 Jun 2011 04:47 AM PDT

When Apple launched its new publishing platform for newspapers and magazines, the rules that went along with it meant that content providers would have to offer to sell the content through Apple as well, of which Apple would take a 30 percent cut.

Many newspapers and magazines were against these rules, and we even saw companies like the Financial Times launch their own iPad friendly web apps in attempt to get past Apple’s rules.

Now it seems Apple has had a change of heart, and now applications that offer content outside of Apple’s subscription service, will be able to allow access to that content as long as they don’t have a buy button that would let users purchase content from an external store.

We’ll just be honest here, although Cryptic have done a solid job on the visuals, we were expecting a hell of a lot more out of this Neverwinter trailer. There is literally not one suitably epic-feeling RPG that didn’t have an eye-meltingly awesome trailer before release. Just try and name one. See? Doesn’t exist. And while a fairly nice showcase for the artwork, it’s that impression that it’s just going through the motions that has us worried.
