Yo Forbes, Fuck You

forbes-fuck1TechCrunch is currently missing <%=Fucks%>, according to Forbes' Brian Caulfield. We expect to add more <%=Fucks%> into our posts in <%=deadline%>. Responds our more serious than me co-editor Eric Eldon, "Our disappointing F-Bomb second quarter 2012 financial results and outlook for the third quarter 2012 illustrates that our F-Bomb business continues to be in the midst of transition. Within our F-Bomb business unit, we have established early momentum with F-Bomb+, and we are increasing our investments in F-Bomb+ to achieve market success."

Slow And Steady Wins The Race, Too: Mobile Gaming Study Looks At Earning Potential In Under-Hyped Games

paciphoneApp store analytics firm App Annie released a report on mobile gaming this week, which focused on the earnings potential of what it defined as "long-term" versus "short-term" games. That is to say, it found that mobile app superstars with media buzz were not necessarily outperforming the slow and steady games that flew under the radar  - meaning, those that never cracked the top 25 grossing ranking, for example. Long-term games earned an average of $920,000 versus $549,000 for short-term games, App Annie says. And the top-earning long-term game earned $3.9 million versus $1.4 million for short-term.

iOS, Android Developer Gap Is Shrinking: Report

The release of Apple's iOS 6 Beta 3 and Android's Jelly Bean were greeted with almost exactly the same number of downloads from developers. This could mean that developers are more serious about Android. - For the last several years, Apple's iOS mobile operating system has been getting most of the attention from software developers every time a new version comes out, in comparison with new releases of Google's competing Android OS.
But something interesting just happened: Google's latest Android Jel...

Windows 8 welcome screen revealed, looks very Metro

windows 8 welcome screen
It's not really a secret the Microsoft had planned on bringing bits of Windows Phone 7's Metro UI to Windows 8, but we haven't seen a lot of really telling evidence. However, with the Windows 8 milestone 3 build now available to Microsoft Connect partners, it was really just a matter of time before we started to get a peek.

Thanks to Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, we've now had a glimpse at what the Windows 8 welcome screen will look like. As you can see, the typography is very Metro indeed. Within Windows also mentions that the background image is customizable, and we're wondering if it might not pull from your current Windows 8 theme. This particular shot shows the CTRL + ALT + DELETE login option, but we imagine you'll still be able to log in by clicking your account picture tile as well.

Rivera and Thurrott also mention that the tablet version of the welcome screen will allow you to log in by swiping a pattern on the screen -- as you can on current Android devices.

How much data is an exabyte? It's a billion gigabytes - and it signifies just how digital and data-intensive ...
