		<title>Apple&#8217;s iPod Touch (2010) Review, Not a Poor Man&#8217;s iPhone 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week Apple announced a complete overhaul of its iPod lineup including a new Shuffle, a new Nano (with multitouch screen) and a new iPod Touch. While the nano looks cool, it’s pricey and honestly I haven’t been interested in a dedicated MP3 player in about a decade. The new iPod Touch however piqued my interest. With many of the same specs as the iPhone 4, I wondered if the new Touch ...

		<description><![CDATA[Nintendo released firmware updates earlier this week for the DSi and Wii that reportedly block the use of many popular piracy-enabling flash carts and software modification on the systems. The official release notes for DSi Menu Ver. 1.4.1U state only that the update "provides behind-the-scenes improvements to system performance." But forum posters at GBATemp.net report the new firmware breaks ...

		<title>iPod touch (2010) torn down, found to contain an awful lot of battery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As predictable as the sun rising somewhere over east Japan, the iFixit crew have put their tools and wits to the task of deconstructing the latest generation of iPod touch . Their teardown is still ongoing (exciting, isn't it?), but here are their observations so far. The new touch is noted as being the easiest to crack open yet, and yes, its retina-busting 640 x 960 LCD is fused to the external ...

		<title>Batman: the Brave and the Bold Wii is a lighter Dark Knight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Batman is an always an interesting character, but the most recent takes on the Caped Crusader have been almost oppressively dark. Go back and read the comics that took place before Year One and you'll find a Batman that sometimes smiles, is much more at peace with himself, and gets the job done with a sort of sly humor. That Batman is on full display in this Wii game, an adaptation of the ...
