Irrational Games released a new Bioshock: Infinite trailer today, and it sure looks good, and prescient (more on that in a bit).
Temple Run 2 already broke records on iOS devices by having 20 million downloads by the end of its first weekend, and now it's broken another record. In the first two weeks, Temple Run 2 has been downloaded over 50 million times on iOS, Android and Kindle devices, combined.
Yesterday, during BlackBerry's time to shine at the unveiling of Blackberry 10, Nokia sent a snarky Tweet through its official @nokia Twitter handle: "Blackberries make a great snack, but for the world's best business smartphone try a #Lumia."
Nokia's update to its Windows Phone 7 handsets starts rolling out today. The Nokia Lumia owners will be able to receive an update soon, if they haven't already, from Windows Phone 7.5 Mango to the improved Windows 7.8 operating system.
With BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) announcing the BlackBerry 10 operating system and two new devices, the traditional-looking BlackBerry Q10 and the more modern BlackBerry Z10, everyone is interested to find out how the struggling former mobile giant will fare against the upcoming competition.
You'll be able to prove to the world how good you are at Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 soon. Activision has announced that they're incorporating Twitch, the gaming video streaming platform and community for gamers, into Black Ops 2. Soon players will be able to broadcast their gameplay videos with just click of a button.

Toyota is recalling more than 1 million vehicles because of safety problems involving defective airbags and faulty windshield wipers. This, in the new year after Toyota had more recalled vehicles than any other automaker in the United States last year, according to NBCNews.
"We are Blackberry all over the world." Research in Motion, just before introducing their two new Blackberry 10 devices, announced that they've decided to change their name. They're RIM no longer, they're just Blackberry.
The Super Bowl has gotten so big, it often isn't about football at all. Now, instead of having a huge game that draws an audience so large that companies try to appropriate commercial time to sell their products, it's become a commercial media event where television ads now get trailers and promotional runs before they're actually on your TV set.
Yesterday, Apple confirmed rumors going around (and fought back the nay-sayers) by announcing that it was going to be offering a 128GB version of the iPad 4. The release date will be February 5 and it will cost $799. Which is to say, Apple almost looks like it's going out of its way to crush Windows Surface Pro

A couple of days ago, the world discovered that Twitter Vine (and any other video sharing service) can be used to show mature content (i.e., "the internet is for porn"). When that happened, I wondered out loud if Apple would have to ban the popular new app, in order to be consistent with its anti-porn policy, which saw the demise of photography sharing app 500px just a week before.
The SimCity 5 beta test this weekend is over, so now all we have to look forward to is the actual game, which has a release date of March 5. Too bad for Mac owners, who will have to wait longer, until sometime this spring, for their version.
