Keep in mind that we're talking Arcades here not consoles. It caught everyone by surprise and even the so called experts overlooked Pac-Man while reviewing arcade games (don't the experts always do things like that?). Renamed to Pac-Man in the US, it became an instant hit. Nobody had ever seen a game like it before. Namco and Iwatani may have developed "Puck Man" in Japan, but it was Midway who marketed to the United States and saw sales fly through the roof. Strangely enough, it was NOT a big success after launch. After a short 18 months, the game was complete and launched as "Puck Man". This odd sounding name (odd only because it's not English of course) is symbolic of the noise made when one opens and closes their mouth rapidly. Iwatani drew inspiration for his game via a famous Japanese phrase known as "Paku-Paku Taberu". Toru Iwatani designed the game over the short time of 18 months (yeah back then one guy could write a game on his own, imagine that today?).

I think I understand nixing Adsense – It may be a question between real traffic and bot traffic.It would just be nice if Google had an alternative in their Google+ with at least a semi-open API so I can send RSS information there. It’s sad that Google is cutting a program where so many rely on. All my feeds are found on the top-right hand corner of the webpage. The ones I do have will need to heed this warning and get the show in another location. I don’t have that many subscribers on my Feedburner feeds. I suppose that with Adsense closing, I have no reason to keep my Feedburner active except for those pennies I make from it.īut what about those blogs and podcasts that have grown their Feedburner subscribers? The people that make hundreds of dollars on this service? I guess they are going to have to ween their audience to another outlet – and quick. Web programs like WordPress do a great job in RSS feeds. I still use RSS feeds to send my information to iTunes, Twitter and Facebook. It’s also rumored that Google feels RSS feeds are giving way to Social Media. Rumors have pointed to Adsense for Feedburner getting shut down. How could a company shut down something that so many websites use and make money with? It’s never going to do that…ĭuring the summer, Google announced the API for Feedburner was going off-line. I remember when I heard the first time I was told I shouldn’t use Feedburner. – Geek Smack: Feedburner is slowly closing. – Kids iPad app only begs the day that someone reports they’ve seen a porno on the site. – Why isn’t iTunes on Android? Why isn’t iTune more open?
– Possible event marked for October 10th. – A bug has been fixed that allows Verizon users to run Wifi on iPhone5 – Officials say the hacker didn’t breach the security system. – Google is now the second largest company behind Apple. Maybe Samsung has a “5” phone out there already… Other shows: Day in Tech History – Geekazine Special Media Feed – iPad365 Geek Smack! episode 238 Tech News: You can catch me on Twitter Geekazine Facebook Group – About.Me Subscribe to the podcast via: Feedburner – Zune – iTunes – TechPodcasts – Blubrry – Stitcher Read all policies on the Geekazine review page.
