Every once and a while a video game is launched that seems so different, it is a must have. Limbo is exactly this with its unique style and mysterious gameplay. Set in black and grey, along with stark sounds and gloomy foliage, Limbo gives players an atmosphere of uncertainty not knowing what lurks beyond the deep shadows.

Audi A8, a Driving Wi-Fi Hot Spot

Gadgets | May 25th, 2010 by Staggs

Continue reading for more!

The last place to have Internet readily available wherever you are is that car that you have. But now, given you have enough money, you can get the new 2011 Audi A8 with a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot that can connect anything from your laptop to an iPad, up to eight devices wirelessly. The device works by connecting a cellphone SIM card into the car or by connecting the phone wirelessly via Bluetooth. The device will then be able to use the cellphone service to give the wireless Internet connectivity. Other products that allow this sort of connectivity require their own data connection plan, but because it is connecting to the cellphone or SIM card directly, there is no need to have another charge added to your phone bill.

The 2011 Audi A8 is the first car to offer a factory installed wireless Internet device. While the function is optional, I’m sure that plenty of the people buying this car will opt to have it. Audi tends to stay at the forefront of technology and as more people sign up for data packages for their cellphones this is a great way to give people what they want. Once a user has connected, the device can serve wireless Internet at speeds of up to 7.2 mbps that is WAP2 encrypted. The wireless transmitter is located at the top of the car near the antenna. You think this is cool, what else is this car packing…

Facebook’s Tentacles are Growing

Think Tank | April 28th, 2010 by Staggs

Continue reading for more!

The Internet is no longer a collection of “webs” and pages. It is now an increasingly complex information system, and many large web sites are finding that the only way to go is to become interconnected, and intertwine webs with each other. Facebook, which is nearing a monopoly of social browsing, is attempting to connect other webs to itself. So far, it is already working with other near-monopolies, like Microsoft, in its endeavor to spread its reach.

The iPad Launches

News | April 5th, 2010 by Staggs

The Apple iPad has officially launched this past weekend: it is now available to be purchased at all retail Apple stores and through the online Apple store. For those who want to utilize the 3G version, you will have to wait a bit longer, as it appears that they are still only available for pre-order, expecting to be filled in late April.

Now that the Apple iPad is available, will you purchase it?

Be a Mayor with Foursquare!

Think Tank | March 24th, 2010 by Staggs

Have you heard of Foursquare? Some of us have, and some have not. If you have not heard of this service, listen up, a lot of people are talking about it lately.

Foursquare is a mobile web service, which is already racking up over 500,000 users, that lets people find their friends depending on where they are. Users can broadcast their current location via mobile phone and check-in at known places, such as the local Starbucks. Once the user does that, their friends can see it and choose to meet you there, or “Shout” you a message (maybe asking why you are there), etc. — you basically tell your friends where you are. If you are thinking it is Twitter-esque, it is… sort of.

iPad, Excitement for its Applications

Gadgets | March 15th, 2010 by Staggs

I have been weary about mentioning the iPad, for various reasons, until now. My perception on the matter is that the iPad is a hyped up, unimaginative device that only hardcore Apple followers will be willing to throw down money for. I still feel this way and believe that the product will be left unappreciated, and rejected by many consumers. Apple should have put more thinking caps on when developing this device. However, one aspect of the iPad that does deserve applause is its application abilities. Without applications, the iPad would just be a sitting duck. With the success of iPhone apps, there is now a great market for new and better apps to come along with the iPad.

If you are not aware, the iPad will natively run every iPhone application that is currently in the iTunes App Store. You will not have to wait for the publishers of your favorite application to churn out a special iPad version, it will just work. Nothing could be more simple. And to that, your favorite application developers are probably already working on new, more exciting applications that will use everything the iPad has to offer to its users.

Site Updates and a Changing Mission

News | March 3rd, 2010 by Staggs

It has been a while since I’ve updated the web site, but the time for change is coming. I will be implementing various, small design changes over the next week, but more importantly is that I am changing the mission and purpose of this blog. While I’ve been trying my best to get only the best of new technology and entertainment, simply put there has been a lacking of new innovation and a lack in generally anything new and exciting for the basic consumer.

As you know, my mission has been to focus on the great products that most people have access to, and highlight only the truly innovative and fresh of those products. It is a high bar, and I realize that it might be too high to focus on. For this reason, our mission will change.

The new mission of WhatsLeet.com will be to focus not only on gadgets and entertainment, but also include innovative and amazing things in general. Anything goes if it is new and exciting. This will give me more room to listen to a more broad area of topics and have more to talk about and communicate. I hope this is a good direction to go in, and I feel that the more area I can cover, the better my content will be.

Thank you for reading my web site, and I appreciate your support! Onward, the show goes on!

A Connected Government

Features | January 26th, 2010 by Staggs

President Barack Obama has not only been working hard bringing some fresh ideas to the United States, he has also been created a more transparent, more easily accessible government. His campaign web site, BarackObama.com, was one of, if not, the first of its kind to connect with interested voters and allowed them to find others to support him locally. It served as a great look into the future of government connection through the Internet, and a year later, that communication has finally evolved from the stone age of technology.
