I’m not responsible enough to get a real dog. I can barely take care of myself and you want me to care of another living being? No way, not yet! Thankfully, Cube Dogs for iPhone are super easy to care for, it’s like Tamagotchis but in dog form. Which means, it’s better silly. More »

Poor AMD. While Chipzilla just keeps shattering its own earnings records, the little company that could from Sunnyvale is struggling to chug its way uphill. Its total revenue of $1.57 billion represents a two-percent drop from the last quarter and five percent from the same time last year. Total profits fell from half a billion in Q1 to just $61 million. News was particularly bad at the graphics division which saw revenues plummet 11 percent from Q1. In total, the former ATI brand lost $7 million. It’s not all bad news, though — the company did ship a record number of mobile CPUs, won some awards, and increased its presence on the top 500 super computer list by 15 percent. That’s gotta count for something right?
[Thanks, Matt]

Is Nintendo Video launching in the US, or is it just coming soon? Someone over at the house that Mario built needs to make up their mind — Reggie knuckle sandwich, anyone? The application was quietly announced this morning via Nintendo Download, then listed as a non-downloadable item on the eShop and featured on the company’s official site with a release dated today. So, where is it then? Your guess is as good as ours. When it finally hits your parallax display, expect this 3DS only app to update weekly with fresh content, promising limited-time only 2D and 3D comedy, action and adventure shorts. Head to the eShop right now, and you’ll be treated to a music-backed, text-only tease of the service and a College Humour video, apparently. If a curated experience from the makers of the Wii U fits your bill, then go right ahead and set that Spotpass to download.

Many of the projects I see on Kickstarter seem interesting, but all to often they crumble under investigation. The thought of sponsoring a product makes one feel like it should be perfect, like just the thing you’ve always wanted. If something doesn’t measure up to that standard, then why go through with sponsorship and waiting […]

Having a hard time parting ways with a certain plucky, lightning-scarred orphan? J.K. Rowling feels your pain (as she counts her money) and has teamed up with Google to help you fall in love with the world of Hogwarts all over again — e-book style. The voluminous tomes will be making their exclusive electronic debut through Google’s eBooks platform as part of the Sony-backed Pottermore site launching this October. El Goog’s open format plays nicely with “more than 80 ereaders” — we’re looking at you iRiver Story HD — and can also be downloaded in app form for iOS and Android smartphones. But the integration doesn’t end there — under terms of the agreement, Google Checkout “will be the preferred third party payment platform” for all the site’s Harry Potter knick knacks your credit limit will allow. It’s ok, you don’t have to let go of the dream just yet. There’s still a little wizard inside us all.
