Ahoy there, mateys! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, and while I'm swabbing the decks and preparing to set sail for distant lands (well, New Zealand), here be the news of the day.

If ye are plannin' on installin' iOS7, beware! Lest it send yet iGadget to the briny depths, with more info hyarrr. Users' iPhones were rendered useless they were unable to download the update at all, while others experienced errors during the installation process. Some update downloads failed completely, turning their phones into glorified paperweights.

The Dread Cap'n Newell says that Linux be the future of gaming, and they have some new hyarrdware on the horizon. Newell has previously promised to unveil a Linux-based "Steam box" to compete against living room gaming consoles sometime this year, and his company has updated the Steam software to work better on TVs. While he didn't specifically mention the Steam box today, Newell hinted at an announcement next week. "Next week we're going to be rolling out more information about how we get there and what are the hardware opportunities we see for bringing Linux into the living room," Newell said. More hyarrr.

We always hear about the eeevils of violent video games, but these fine lads saved the day while sailin' back from picking up their GTA V booty at the stroke of midnight. On their way home with their new game, the brothers heard the sound of smoke detectors, screeching from a nearby house. Smoke was pouring from the window, and they heard a man inside crying for help.

Those mangy currs at Techspot have benchmaaarrrrked Aarrrrma 3. ARMA 3 will offer the largest official terrain of its franchise, with ground area covering approximately 270 kmē across the Aegean islands of Altis and 20 kmē on the Greek island Stratis. Between its expansive world and graphical advancements, it's no surprise that the developer's recommended specifications are set relatively high.

One issue with sendin' robots to do a soldier's job is when you get too fond of the little tykes. "They would say they were angry when a robot became disabled because it is an important tool, but then they would add 'poor little guy,' or they'd say they had a funeral for it," Carpenter said.

Talkin' all piratey like makes my beard ache, so may the stars guide your way and your sails always be full, and as befittin' tradition, here's our TLAPD mascot again.


Yarrr!
