LET'S PLAY !

Everybody knows that the the Android Market is a joke compared to the Apple App Store. Today Google Play is out, and the things may change drastically very soon. Its the the new integrated destination for apps, books, movies, and music that replaces the old platform. Sync between devices will be automatic, developpers will be more in control of the publishing process and users will be happier.

For the launch of the new platform a lot of sweet stuff has been discondted to 0.49€. Candies like World of Goo, SoundHound, SwiftKey X, Dead Space, Sprinkle, N.O.V.A. 2, Shadowgun, Paper Camera and many more.

MOOG FOR THE MASSES

Moog introduce its latest creation, the Animoog. It's the first groundbreaking professional anisotropic synth engine designed for iPads. It's just making me think about getting my wallet off my pocket and run to the nearest Apple store.

THANK YOU STEVE

Jamie Lidell is such an inspired producer, and iMaschine is such an amazing music app for iPhone/iPad. It's "nothing else" than the brand new portable version of Maschine, a real successful software by Native Instruments.

Here's the result of the collision between the two of them: an exclusive version of "A Little Bit More" from the album Multiply (2005, Warp) made up while relaxing in bed. The entire performance was done live in one take, with nothing pre-recorded, and no post-production edits made to the song.

RUN THROUGH THE LIGHT

Santa Ragione is an uprising italian software house we all should keep an eye on. They recently came up with one of the most unique one button games we've ever seen: take a little bit of Rez and pour it into a Vectrex. Add a pinch of vib ribbon and a couple of tablespoons of The Lawnmower Man sauce and you're in for some serious retro futuristic action. You're in for Fotonica.

VENT'ANNI DI PHOTOSHOP

Oggi una delle applicazioni grafiche più usate al mondo, Adobe Photoshop, spegne venti candeline. Venti anni di monopolio. E venti anni con praticamente la stessa interfaccia e pochissimi cambiamenti significativi nel workflow.
Molti criticano duramente questa fossilizzazione, e molti nel corso degli anni hanno provato a rivoluzionarlo, fallendo miseramente.
Proprio perchè nel 1990 i fratelli Knoll, i padri di Photoshop, crearono qualcosa di praticamente perfetto.
Perchè cambiare una squadra che vince?
Perchè riparare qualcosa che non è rotto? Bella domanda.
Un'altra bella domanda è perchè fare uscire ben nove versioni quando ne sarebbero bastate a dir tanto tre. Qui però la risposta è semplice: businnes is businnes.
