Microsoft had previously promised to show more upcoming Xbox One games at E3, because at the end of it all, when the hardware finally ships, it's all about the games. We are glad that the company kept to its word. Throughout their E3 press conference which was held earlier this week, Microsoft and its partners showed some of the blockbuster titles that we will all be looking forward to playing as this holiday season draws ever closer. and when the hardware finally ships, it's all about the games.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Well, I had to do it. Just days after writing on this very site that I wouldn't dump my iPhone 5 jailbreak On 6.1.2 for a shiny new version of iOS, I'm sat here looking at iOS 7 on the very same iPhone 5.
Well well well, just when you think it's time to settle down for Apple's WWDC keynote someone goes ahead and pulls the rug from underneath you. Just when you think you've got tomorrow's announcements all figured out, someone says just enough for a little bit of doubt to creep in.
We take a lot of screenshots here at Redmond Pie. We take screenshots of Macs, and we take screenshots of Windows. We take screenshots of Android phones and we take screenshots of iOS devices. No matter what the device, or what operating system it is running though, we seem to always end up with the image in some sort of photo editor just so that we can crop it.
Should i ditch my iPhone 5 jailbreak to try iOS 7 beta 1? That's a good question actually, and one I've been contemplating for a few days now.
When Microsoft announced the Xbox One a couple of weeks ago, the big unveiling left more questions unanswered than it actually answered, especially when it came to things like the ability to lend games to a friend, or how resale of those games will work if at all. This caused something of an online backlash against the unreleased machine, and was something that Microsoft could have potentially avoided if it had had all its ducks in a row.
Those Grand Theft Auto fans really know their stuff, especially when it comes to the massive in-game worlds that the titles have revolved around. The most keen fans can reel off the locations of all the cool stuff too, which is impressive considering we can't even find our car keys in our real world homes!
All the focus from much of the tech world may be on Apple's mobile devices, but that doesn't mean that the folks in Cupertino aren't beavering away, trying to make the Mac as bug free as possible. That's when they're not adding entirely new features, of course.
Having all singing, all dancing smartphones is all well and good, but if all we're going to do with them is send messages, make calls and take photos of our food then we can't help but think they're being somewhat wasted. What happened to the imagined future that saw us living our lives through those phones, replacing other devices and outdated equipment as we go?
Apple quietly released a new iPod touch yesterday, adding a 16GB offering to the fifth generation of the popular iOS-based music player. More than just a new, smaller capacity clone of the existing models though, the 16GB iPod touch variant is actually a new design when compared to the other iPod touch models, and it even loses one or two of their features in the process.
