Play bingo, but skip the bingo hall with iPad Bingo

The iPad has already made millions of things easy to do from the comfort of your home, or anywhere on the go: chatting with friends, playing board games, and now, the classic game of bingo. While Bingo by GameDesire is far from the only Bingo game in the App Store for the iPad, it is one of the most extensive, offering a number of options and styles of play for veteran and new players alike. Like most iOS apps, we found installation simple and setup intuitive. The interface, however, once the game started, is far from simple. Whether because bingo … Read more

Play along with CNET's iPhone event bingo!

It's time for another Apple special event and all that it entails. Sure, the new device (or perhaps new devices) will be the biggest news from Tuesday's "Let's Talk iPhone" session, but a new iPhone will be only part of the experience. Though CEO Tim Cook is expected to preside, it's still a mystery as to exactly which Apple execs will take the stage with him. And even besides the "who" and the "what," Apple events have always had their own unique style with signature music, seamless onstage demos, a … Read more

The 404 596: Where the new iPhone is old news (podcast)

After months of speculation, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is finally here, and everyone except Jeff is eager to see what Steve Jobs will unveil at the show. You can follow all the coverage on our CNET live blog, and don't forget about CNET's WWDC 2010 Bingo Card!

We won't spend too much time speculating, since we practically know everything about the new iPhone anyway, so let's put that off until tomorrow and discuss the other big news of the day: Facebook merch.

At last week's D8 conference, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg became so visibly … Read more

The official WWDC 2010 Bingo card is here

Here's your obligatory Steve Jobs keynote Bingo card, readers.

I've been to five or six Stevenotes over the years. They're a lot of fun--if you're not there. If you are there (as a journalist at least), you're too concentrated on getting the quotes right, getting the news out, uploading photos, and keeping an eye on your batteries to really enjoy it.

This time, though, I'm going to have fun, as I'm not covering Monday's WWDC keynote live. (Don't worry, we've got Kent and Erica on the job.) I've made … Read more

A simple speaker from simpler times

After seeing so many crazy speakers on the market (with equally crazy prices), we often find ourselves pining for simpler products from simpler days. So it was almost a relief to come across the "Retro Hi-Fi Bookshelf Speakers" from Exeluxe.

As indicated by their name, these loudspeakers are a throwback in the best sense of the word, handmade in the color of your choice while housing 5.25-inch drivers and a 1-inch dome tweeter. Each unit is about a foot square and 7 inches deep, according to GeekAlerts, with vinyl covers that would fit perfectly in the ever-popular … Read more
