The Behemoth has got to be one of my favorite indie developers as all of their games have certainly kept me and other gamers entertained for years.

Siri tells British child to ‘shut the f*** up’
I think it’s safe to say we were all secretly hoping for a humorous story like this to make headlines at one point, but I never thought I’d see the day. In Coventry, England, Kim Le Quesne is reporting with utter disgust that a display model of the Apple iPhone 4S cussed at her 10-year-old son. Apparently the son, Charlie, was shopping at a local Tesco with his father when he approached the iPhone 4S on display.

Argentina bans iPhone, BlackBerry imports to support local production
In an attempt to rectify issues with Argentina’s economy, the South American country placed a temporary ban on imports of foreign-made electronics. Two of the most well-known of those electronics are the iPhone and BlackBerry devices. Apple and RIM collectively account for 60 percent of Argentina’s smartphone market, so the ban is going to have a substantial impact on its mobile industry. What about Android and Windows Phone? Neither of the operating systems nor the hardware manufacturers were affected because they — Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. — have manufacturing … Read more

Get Siri on your non-iPhone 4S with this method
Hacker ‘chpwn’ introduced Spire a few days ago, his own unique hack to get Siri on older, jailbroken iPhones and unlike previous Siri ports, this one is completely legal and free of any copyrighted binaries.

Spire is available in Cydia, so yes your iPhone has to be jailbroken to get access. During installation, Spire downloads Siri directly from Apple. Chpwn points out that the download consumes around 100 MB of data, … Read more

As the European economy collapses, so too does Apple’s market share in smartphones

Add all that up and what you get is a shift in consumer’s preferences for smartphones. Devices like the iPhone, which typically go for around 600 Euros, are selling in fewer numbers, meanwhile Android is blowing up … Read more
