Carmack Shows Us The Future of Gaming on iPhone [Video]

id Software isn’t new to impressive tech demos. Remember when they first showed Doom 3? The game eventually turned out to be pretty boring and full of cliches, but the technology behind it was impressive.

John Carmack, co-founder of id Software, showed off Rage for iPhone yesterday at QuakeCon 2010. Yes, that Rage. The tech demo is impressive, and it relies on the proprietary megatexture technology that id Software used in the past. Carmack said that demo was working on an iPhone 4, but the engine (he calls it “game framework”) works great both on the iPad and the original iPhone 2G. According to the VG247 the title will be available in the App Store later this year, and a second one will be released together with the official PC version in 2011.

Check out the video below. [via Engadget]

The iPhone, iPad Controlled Massage Chair You Want to Have

I’m sure Steve Jobs has upgraded his squeaky office chair for the Human AcuTouch 9500 by now. Not only does it automatically adjust to all those tender spots on your delicate body, it remembers how you like to lounge and transitions any susceptible being into a state of orgasmic relaxation. I’m not kidding when I say this is the most advanced lawn chair/massage ornament in existence.

Keep Track of Where Your Money Is with Tabs

Sometimes you lend those 5 bucks to that good friend of yours and you never get them back. But he’s a good friend, right? “I promise, I’ll give your money back as soon as I get paid!”.

Sure. I’ve been fooled many times. Too many. Now I have an app for that. And yes, I’m looking at you - you supposedly good friend of mine who still has to give me 37 Euros  for the dinner I bought you three weeks ago.

Tabs by Patrick Mandia lets you keep track of where your money is and notify “your buddies”. You create a new tab for each contact who owes you money, you enter date and amount, then you’ll be able to either call him (mob-style), send him a message or an email. Too bad there’s no “here’s where he lives, go get him” option in the Settings. Perhaps in a future update.

Tabs is only $0.99 in the App Store. Go buy it, but don’t gift it to anyone.

This is an offer you can’t offer you can’t refuse.
