    I think this is the best shot in CrazyKinux's must see top ten favorites of EVE Online screenshots. Say what you will about EVE's pungent mix of trading, combat, and spaceship destruction (every time I turn around, people are saying they've lost their ships in EVE Online), but there is no question that the game is a work of art. Everywhere you turn, there's an amazing nebula or a breaktaking planet for your ship to pose in front of.And if you like those ten, CrazyKinux has also put a whole Flickr set of his favorites online for your perusing pleasure. Experience the universe of EVE the way it probably should be experienced more often-- all of the beauty, none of the ISK worries.

  • Apple posts two new iPhone ads

    Thanks to TUAW readers participating in tonight's TUAW TalkShoe chatcast, we found out about two new iPhone ads Apple has posted to their site. Both ads bring a new perspective to the iPod's appeal, focusing on how much it allows you to carry - or stop carrying - in your pocket. The first, titled Instead, informs viewers that they can simply carry an iPod in their phone, instead of an iPod and their phone. The second ad, titled Amazing, expands on the idea of how much you can carry: your favorite music, all your email, today's newspaper and - of course - a phone. The ads are both well done and, I think, speak a bit more clearly to the potential of owning an iPhone. Having all that stuff in one sexy little device that effortlessly syncs with one app is indeed a wonderful thing, and I bet these new ads might strike a stronger chord with consumers still on the fence about buying one to replace their other gadgets.
