Shatter coming to iPad
Retro-inspired brick-breaker Shatter is coming to iPad. The announcement was made quite unceremoniously by Sidhe co-founder Mario Wynands on NeoGAF.Wynands went on to say the game would be "iPad only" because it'd require a big redesign to work on iPhone.Shatter was part of our best of the rest for 2009, and is currently available on PSN, PC and Mac.
iPhone vs. gravity is no contest
Apple's MagSafe power cords have probably saved thousands of laptops from untimely impacts -- too bad there's no such insurance policy for the iPhone. Brett Peters' phone had an unfortunate encounter with his young son and moments later, with the floor, and the result is as you see above. While the screen glass is shattered, Brett was able to lay a piece of clear packing tape on top of the phone and keep all the shards in place. You can see all the photos on Brett's blog and here on Flickr. Believe it or not, the phone is still functional; more surprisingly, except for the most seriously damaged spots, the touchscreen still works. Brett is considering a screen replacement via this procedure, but in the meantime I'm sure he's having a heart-to-heart with his son about the facts of physics. 9.8m/s^2 -- it's not just a good idea, it's the law.[via Twitter]
