Foxconn Goes Automated

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Dec 11th

It’s a bit of a hobby of mine to keep track of what’s going on with China’s vast manufacturing wing that has gobbled up megatons of worldwide outsourcing. I was more of a morbid curiosity a year or so ago when the workers at the plant were throwing themselves out of windows because how bleak the conditions were, but now I follow what’s going on because so many of our favorite consumer electronics are put together...

Google Lover, iPhone User

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Nov 30th

I feel like I’m a traitor to my own cause. I use the hell out of Google products…yet I am a staunch iPhone user, and I can’t really think of any proper excuse.

Infinity Blade Series Boasts $30 Million in Sales

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Jan 5th

The Epic / ChAIR hit for the iOS platform, and easily one of the best looking series of games on the platform, has come out with a staggering number tied to sales of the games…and that number is $30,000,000. Not too shabby if you ask me.

WPR’s Totally Absurd Predictions for 2012

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Jan 2nd

It’s easy to do a year-in-review post. Hell, every big blog out there has done one either today or yesterday (depending on your timezone), but it takes a site that wants to have a bit of fun with the media we love to make a predictions post. Here is what WPR thinks we’ll see this year…maybe.

Apple’s Manufacturing Stranglehold Just Got Tighter

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Dec 21st

I’m sure you’ve read the stories already of how Apple has been tightening it’s grip on any and ever manufacturer that deals in Apple branded hardware. Whether it be batteries, screens, or memory, Apple wants to own the entire process…or so it seems.

Apple 1, HTC 0

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Dec 20th

I sincerely hope that if you’re in the market for an Android based phone from HTC, that you get on the ball and pick it up soon…because the USITC have decided that next year, HTC’s ability to sell certain phones in our market will be hindered.

Gasp, is Siri the Anti-HAL 9000?

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Nov 30th

With all of the politics and drama that goes on in the real world that most of us WPR staff try to avoid, we rely on our gadgets and gaming systems to be impartial bastions of neutrality…like they’re some sort of mechanical and digital versions of Switzerland.

Good Christ iPhone Fans, Seriously?

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Oct 10th

If you’re in the Apple community, then you have to make sure you always have the best and biggest that the company has to offer but in my humble of humblest of opinions, the iPhone 4S just isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have the iPhone 4.

Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 1 – iPad Review

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Aug 13th

I haven’t played most of the various incarnations of the Monkey Island series. It’s one of my biggest shames, and yet at the same time a boon because I can now go back and enjoy a series that I missed out on.
