Tek Nation Episode 9: Kinect Hype

In today's episode we're discussing the hype of Microsoft's Kinect as the main headline. Kinect is for the Xbox 360 and eliminates the controller. You're the controller. Now you should know all of that unless you've been under a rock for the past two weeks. Find out more details on how it works in the video above. In other news, we talked the biggest entertainment launch in history Call of Duty Black Ops. It looks like a great time with the new multiplayer options, a new campaign, and the return of "Zombies" mode should pack a punch for this game. Also Apple is discontinuing the X-serve on January 31, 2011. The success of the product has been very minor, so I understand the discontinuation.

How to Get a Refund on Any App in the App Store

I had this problem with an app last week. Every time I started it, it crashed. I would have to wait for the iPhone to reboot. Now I realize this is only $0.99 cent and most people wouldn't have gone this far for a refund, but I mean come on, there are a lot of things I could have done with that $0.99 cents.

Here are the steps I went through to get my $0.99 cent refund.

The whole ordeal is simple. Basically you request, and they say yes or no.

  • Click on iTunes
  • Click on the iTunes Store
  • Click on your iTunes account on the right corner or Login to itunes on the right corner.
  • Go to your purchase history
  • Click report a problem
  • Select the app that you want a refund for
  • Fill out Dispute and send

There you go. That's all you need to do to request a refund. The rest is up to Apple and what ever there conclusion to the case is.

Playstation Phone First Look

This video was about my initial impressions about the very interesting PSP Phone. The phone has a very similar form factor to that of a PSP Go. However, it will be running on the Android platform. It should provide the latest firmware, which will be 3.0. You will also be able to play titles from the PSP which I think is a great feature for all the gamers out there. The phone has a d-pad so that will be great for gaming. Playstation phone also packs a 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM. There haven't been too many details released about the phone, so I will continue to provide details for you! Thank you for watching!
