Quake III Now Available for Android Mobile Phones
If you’re an Android owner and happen to be sick to death of hearing about great iPhone games, you can now rest a little easier as the classic Quake III is now available. You’ll find everything you want, including audio, keyboard input (or touch screen or trackball), OpenGL 3D rendering, networking and ARM optimization.
Installation:
- Download the kwaak3.apk from the download section and install it on your phone. (Note you need at least Android 1.6)
- Create a directory quake3 in the root of your sdcard and also create a baseq3 directory inside it.
- Copy pak0.pk3 of your Quake3 CD (or from the demo) to the quake3/baseq3 directory.
- Download the Quake3 1.32 point release and copy pak1-pak8.pk3 to quake3/baseq3
- Start the game
Google and TiVo partner to analyze viewer data, sell ads, get filthy rich
We’re actually sort of surprised that this hasn’t happened earlier, but TiVo and Google announced a data-sharing partnership today that’ll give the Google TV team access to TiVo’s second-by-second viewing data — anonymized, of course. That means advertisers who buy their TV ads through Google will only have to pay for the ads that customers actually watch — a system the networks obviously aren’t so keen on, but which makes total sense given Google’s pay-per-impression online advertising model. Google’s already processing a billion remote clicks a day as part of a similar deal it’s had with Dish Network since April, so the new TiVo data should just help Mountain View inch its claws even deeper into our everyday lives. Happy future.

Switched On: Chrome’s shine could blind Android
It’s been a year of milestones for Android in the U.S. The number of handsets with the Google-developed software has grown from one to eight. Three of the four major national carriers, including Verizon Wireless, the country’s largest, now offer Android phones. HTC’s Hero and Motorola’s CLIQ have shown how Android supports customization by manufacturers. And the Motorola Droid has marked the debut of Android 2.0.
When the T-Mobile G1 was launched, Switched On discussed Google’s growing rivalry with Apple. But now Google itself an even more formidable threat to the Android than Apple or even Microsoft. Growing out of the group that created the Chrome browser, Google’s Chrome OS creates a relatively lightweight layer of hardware management code primarily for the purpose of running one native app, the Chrome browser. While Chrome OS can take advantage of local processing and resources, the OS foregoes local applications, citing a need to preserve speed, security and simplicity.

Nintendo Power teases … Indianapolis?
Filed under: Rumors
How does a satellite image of Indianapolis link to imminent Nintendo news? That’s the question posed by Nintendo Power’s latest “Next Month” teaser. Seemingly yanked straight from Google Maps, this is one of the vaguest hints we’ve seen from the magazine for some time, and one that has predictably set message boards and comment threads alight.
The most popular guess we’ve seen concerns some kind of Google content appearing on the Wii, which doesn’t sound implausible, but is that really worth building hype in this way? Other speculation ranges from a localized Disaster: Day of Crisis to a Pilotwings game to (with absolutely crushing inevitablity) Earthbound. Your speculation, show us it!
