Die Hard Review » 148Apps » iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch App Reviews and News

First off, let’s get the disappointing thing out of the way: players control Jack McClane, not the famous series protagonist John McClane. This is a tie-in to the movie A Good Day to Die Hard, but apparently Fox Digital Entertainment couldn’t pony up for the rights to Bruce Willis’ likeness? Dude was in Apocalypse for the PS1, come on! Players can unlock the classic outfit from the first Die Hard movie (the best Christmas movie of all time) but not playing as him is a bummer. The game’s pace could be quicker; Jack McClane isn’t going to put Usain Bolt out of a job any time soon. Those racewalkers or …

Lenovo Yoga Review and how to fix trackpad bug and hard disk space

UPDATE | 1:22 P.M. Nov. 26, 2012 – Added link to updated trackpad driver from Lenovo at the end of the post and corrected photo cutline. After spending two weeks with the hottest Windows 8 Ultrabook around — the Yoga is flying off Best Buy store shelves — I have no regrets, even though I lost about $ 350 in the trade and the laptop has some drawbacks that require third-party fixes. In case you’ve missed the commercials, the Yoga’s patented hinge technology allows the screen to fold back 360 degrees, transforming the device into a tablet. It is an eye-catching and valuable feature. Most reviews, from Walt Mossberg to …
