It set the 24 hour sales record for any entertainment property ever with $360M, but Call of Duty: Black Ops has just shattered another record to land it the title as the best selling game of all time.

The iPad 2 Shows Why Apple Doesn’t Need A Gaming Console

Microsoft has the XBox 360. Sony sells the PlayStation 3. Nintendo offers the family-friendly Wii. Apple, by contrast, doesn’t sell a gaming console.

Or does it? Load medieval fighting game Infinity Blade onto the iPad 2, hook it up to a high-definition television using Apple’s $39 digital AV adapter and it can be hard to tell.

Apple claims the new version of its tablet computer offers 9x the graphics performance of the old model — and game developerrs report the new tablet’s graphics capabilities are impressive. “Apple surprised us,” says Rob Murray, Chief Executive of game developer Firemint.

Riding in the Google Car That Drives Itself [VIDEO]

The self-driving car that Google revealed to the world last October made an appearance


The car itself traveled from San Francisco to Long Beach, California, for the conference as part of Google’s ongoing tests. While Thrun tells me he thinks we’ll see self-driving cars in the hands of consumers within our lifetimes, he notes that at this time, “It’s really just a science project … pushing the boundaries of what’s possible

Limitations of the vehicle currently include dealing with weather, as well as capturing the imagery and data necessary to allow the car to do things such as stop at red lights and observe speed limits (most of this work has been limited to the Bay Area for now).

Nonetheless, one can’t help be impressed by what Google has accomplished thus far, with its test drive clearly set up to show off just how far along the technology is (if not to make this blogger slightly nauseous after lunch).

Check our videos from inside and outside the car below:

Apple iPad 2 goes live with dual-core A5 CPU, white one too

Just as expected today Apple announced the successor of their extremely popular iPad tablet. The iPad 2 comes with a dual-core A5 CPU and retains the 9.7" screen diagonal and the XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) of its predecessor.

Apple has added a couple of video-call cameras to the iPad 2. The one on the back does 720p video and 0.7MP images (960 x 720 px), much like the iPod Touch 4G. The front-facing snapper only goes as high as VGA on both stills and video.

Thanks to those shooters the iPad 2 can now do Facetime calling over Wi-Fi.

Nokia and Microsoft enter strategic alliance on Windows Phone, Bing, Xbox Live and more

It's happened. Former Microsoft exec and current Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has married his future and his past in the holy matrimony of a "strategic alliance." Windows Phone is becoming Nokia's "principal smartphone strategy," but there's a lot more to this hookup -- scope out the official press release just after the break. Microsoft's Bing and adCenter will provide search and ad services across Nokia devices, while Nokia will look to innovate "on top of the platform" with things like its traditional strength in imaging. Ovi Maps will be a core part of Microsoft's mapping services and will be integrated with Bing, while Nokia's content store will be integrated into (read: assimilated by) Microsoft's Marketplace. Xbox Live and Office will also, as is to be expected, feature on these brave new Microkia handsets. An open letter on Nokia's Conversations site, penned jointly by Stephen Elop and Steve Ballmer, sets out the foregoing details along with the following statement of intent:

"There are other mobile ecosystems. We will disrupt them. There will be challenges. We will overcome them. Success requires speed. We will be swift. Together, we see the opportunity, and we have the will, the resources and the drive to succeed."

Motorola Xoom

Here it is, after all the marketing, the pricing and whatnot; the Motorola Xoom is one piece of technology that has created such a buzz prior to its release. One of these reasons is that this will be the first device that would run Android 3.0 Honeycomb (i.e. the tablet-specific Android). The great guys at Engadget and SlashGear have gotten themselves the tablet and you can head there for detailed hands-on reviews but for the gist of what one can expect out of this Verizon tablet, scroll below for some insights.
