Telltale’s Walking Dead game sells 1 million copies
In lower than a month’s time, a game based about a niche comic book franchise that has been turned into a effective TV show has been capable to become its own breakout achievement. The Walking Dead Episode 1: A New Day has been downloaded a million instances amongst the Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, plus Steam. It’s hopefully a superior signal because future shows of the game are introduced. The full game is set to be split up into five shows, every of that will be available found on the digital download platforms for $ four.99.

Anyone else still using Kickstarter? Go home. The Pebble smartwatch has you utterly and completely beat. The project recently broke the $ 10 million mark, and while there’s still 8 days to go until the project is officially finished, all 85,000 watches have sold out. A staggering achievement to be sure, although sure to cause disappointment for those who didn’t get in on the action. It’s not the end of the world, though. Pebble will keep churning out watches later on in the year, you just don’t have the opportunity to be part of the first wave anymore. The first watches are expected to ship in September, and will now feature Bluetooth 4.0 bringing with it a low-power mode. Pebble is still accepting donations to the project, but you won’t get a watch. A $ 1 donation will net you “exclusive” details about the project going forward, but a separate [...]

Verizon hard sells LTE Android over iPhone says report
A look into the trends of salespeople in Verizon Stores has discovered that the company may be training its employees to tout the benefits of 4G LTE on Android so that it makes the iPhone pale in comparison, with some sales personnel even being quoted as calling the iPhone “outdated.” CNN found a notable number of users who had stories of going into a Verizon store wanting to buy an iPhone but being convinced to buy something like a Droid Razr instead. Reporter David Goldman wrote, “I had 10 conversations with Verizon sales representatives in New York stores, on the phone, and in online chat sessions, asking about my options for a new smartphone.” “Here’s what I found: Next time you walk into a Verizon store looking to buy a smartphone, expect the hard sell on a 4G Android device,” he continued. He said that in 100% of his discussions, [...]
Charges Filed After Chinese Teenager Sells Kidney to Purchase iPhone and iPad
Reuters reports that five people have been charged with intentional injury in southern China after a teenager sold one of his kidneys in order to purchase an iPad and iPhone. According to the report, those charged include the surgeon who removed the kidney and another person who arranged for the transplant into an undisclosed recipient. The boy, identified only by his surname Wang, now suffers from renal deficiency, Xinhua quoted prosecutors in Chenzhou city, Hunan province as saying. According to the Xinhua account, one of the defendants received about 220,000 yuan (about $ 35,000) to arrange the transplant. He paid Wang 22,000 yuan and split the rest with the surgeon, the three other defendants and other medical staff. The iPad 2 in Apple’s Chinese online store ranges from 2,988-5,499 yuan, while iPhone pricing begins at 2,888 yuan for an unlocked iPhone 3GS and goes up to 6,788 yuan for a [...]
Apple iPad sells 3 million over launch weekend
Triple what the iPad 2 managed, despite the lesser queues spotted on Friday Apple has released the first numbers for the sales of its new iPad, and when it comes to tablets, the Cupertino company can apparently do no wrong. Another record has been broken, with the third-generation iPad shifting no less than 3 million units over its initial weekend on sale, Apple claims. That rather goes against the stories of lesser queues than the iPad 2 witnessed on launch day – sales must have been far more consistent throughout the weekend, as opposed to just on day one. The iPad 2 only shifted a million over its launch weekend (only being a relative term, of course). And the original iPad managed just 80,000, meaning the new tablet outsold it by a factor of 37. It seems that high-resolution display is proving to be as attractive as we guessed it [...]
