Luke! Obi Wan never told you what I wanted for Father’s Day… Yes, it’s almost that time of year again. I speak, of course, of Father’s Day.

They have at least 00001001 (nine, if you insist on base ten) super awesome prizes fit for any geek. And all you have to do is enter. If you’re dad isn’t a geek, well, you don’t actually have to give the prize to your dad if you’re chosen, so, you know what to do.

The contest ends Sunday night.

Early next week, Appletell will be announcing a giveaway contest so mind blowing, it will, if I may steal a line from Michael Ian Black, “blow your mind all over your face.” Despite the headline, it will have nothing to do with gifts/attire for beautiful young brides, unless said brides have awesome taste in non-traditional more »

It’s been a week now since Apple has released the iPhone 3G and iPhone 2.0 software, and we’re not done celebrating. To prove it, we’re ready to share some gaming goodness with you, our faithful readers.
