'Tis the Season for Big Savings on Games

ByMike Moffit

Do you have a long flight or car ride ahead of you this holiday? In recent years, iOS devices have emerged as some of the best ways to pass the time during holiday layovers and road trips. Though one can get lost in a good iBook or endlessly cruise FaceBook, playing games is another great way to help the hours go by. This year, several big name developers are slashing prices like crazy on some of the hottest games of the year for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. With EA, Gameloft and Namco on board, iOS gamers are afforded a rare opportunity to score big budget titles for up to 90% off. Supposedely these deals are only good for a few days, so get them while they last! Here are just of a few of the deeply discounted apps:

Namco

Gameloft

EA

The savings don’t stop there though. This year also marks the return of The Humble Indie Bundle for OS X, Linux, and Windows. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept behind the bundle, it is essentially a DRM free and pay what you want collection of indie games. Better yet, all contributions go towards a good cause. Buyers can easily divide their contributions between 3 charities, with an option to contribute to the developers. The lineup of titles this year is absolutely stellar and features SDE favorite ‘Braid’ among 4 other great titles. The retail cost of all 5 games would typically be around $85, but the developers have elected to let users set the price. Not only is this a great way to pickup some awesome indie titles, but also a way to support the less fortunate this holiday season. The titles featured in the bundle this year are:

  • Braid
  • Cortex Command
  • Machinarium
  • Osmos
  • Revenge of the Titans

  • Guide to External Storage

    I’m in love with my hard drives. They really are miraculous devices, storing billions of bytes and copying that data to and from drive to drive at amazing speeds. I realize that the world of external storage is pretty vast, with lots of names and terms and numbers, and thought it would be good to do a quickly summarize the differences between external drives.

    The first distinction I make between external drives is their physical size. The case around the actual drive may vary in size but there are only two sizes of hard drives–2.5-inch laptop drives and 3.5-inch desktop drives. Desktop drives require more power than can be supplied via USB or FireWire, and so they are considered “desktop” hard drives because you need to plug them into power separately.

    Laptop drives often can run off USB power supplied by a USB port, so they are considered more portable. Just like comparing laptops and desktops, you will generally get more performance and space out of a desktop drive than you would from a laptop drive.

    If you ever work with large amounts of video or want to play media off of an external drive, then a faster RPM (revolutions per minute) is worth buying. If you are just trying to keep your files backed up, then a lower RPM drive will work fine. The two specifications of drive speeds on the consumer market right now are 5400 and 7200 RPM.

    The third thing to check is the connection type of the external drive. Most drives use only USB, but some drives offer FireWire 400, 800, and/or eSATA. For general backup, USB is perfect because it’s fast, reliable, and can be plugged into almost any computer made in the last 5-10 years.

    FireWire is a connection also known as IEEE 1394. As anyone who works with video knows, FireWire is often required to download video from a camcorder or videocamera. Drives that have FireWire are generally more professionally geared because FireWire is a lower latency connection that makes transferring lots of small files faster than USB.

    eSATA is a very fast data connection but does not supply power. eSata is the fastest type of connection commonly seen in external drives, but Apple does not build this port into its computers at this time.

  • Protecting Your Photographs

    Let me ask you a few questions: Do you have a digital camera? How many megapixels does your camera shoot? How many years and how many photos do you have on your computer? Now imagine this… tomorrow morning you wake up and turn your computer on. It boots slower than normal and all you see is a flashing question mark on a gray screen. Your heart drops and you start to think about all of the memories that made up your iPhoto library.

    The purpose of all this is to get you thinking about how many pictures you take every week and what would happen if one day you lost all of them. Could be 10 days or 10 years of photos; either way your losing all of those precious memories. Your best solution is to backup your files. The key to a true backup is to have your files in two places. My suggestion is to purchase a pair of identical external hard drives. Several hard drive units ranging from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes are becoming more and more affordable.

    When you’re finished with your photo shoot, birthday party or vacation, store your photos on your computer and then back it up to your external hard drive. It may also be good to store your external hard drive in a different location than your computer and pull it out once a week to backup your new work. I like to go one step further and backup my backup. My setup includes my MacBook which is backed up onto an external hard drive which is then mirrored to a second external hard dive. This allows me to delete some photos off my MacBook to free up space while still leaving my photos on two different locations.
