Default Robbie Knievel jumps 24 trucks

WOW this was a pretty impressive jump. if you didn't see it check it out on Youtube.com here is the link. I though he would bail and run at it again it looked like he got a little squirrly on the stating ramp, but he went for it. Check it out and have a great ride and great BBQ this holiday weekend.

Just to clear up a few things for the folks that haven't used this before:1) you only share your location with the people you wish to share with 2) you can adjust,per user, how detailed your location will be (street level, city level, or manually entered) 3) even with street level selected, it doesn't update very often, anywhere from about 15 minutes to one hour between updates 4) it doesn't show any history, it only shows your last known location and someone would have to watching it constantly to see where you have beenBeing able to manually enter a location could be handy IF you were trying to throw someone off of your trail, hint hint. convert DVD to iPad Mac SCREW IT! SCREEEEEEEEEW IT! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLLY SCREEEEEEEW IT! SCREEEEW IT!

No � the controls are not the same as a console. Not necessarily bad (though � personal opinion � it is in this case), just different. I find:1) Touch controls are better for turn based games, especially strategy games. Civilization Revolution is an example of game which just plays better on the i(Phone}Pad) than on a console. Yes, the console versions look better, but the iOS version plays better � selecting units and actions is faster, more immediate, and just plain easier with touch than with using a stick/d-pad to move, than a button to choose, then the stick/d-pad to scroll through options.2) Physical controls are better for fast paced and twitch games. On the iPhone/iPad, you have the problem of obscuring the game space with fingers, plus you have to devote some of your visual attention to keeping your fingers in the correct area of the screen. (You do not have the first problem when viewing on a TV screen, but the second problem is much, much worse.) On a turn-based game, this is no drawback at all, but in a fast game, the delay on each action ranges from frustrating to fatal. Using a physical controller, you can focus all your visual attention on the gameplay, and your proprioception will keep your fingers on the buttons automatically, letting you do nothing but play.So, to each his own � I think using iOS devices as multitouch controllers for console-style action games is a very poor experience, but they absolutely shine for strategy games. I shudder to think how many people will AirPlay Farmville once it becomes possible. convert wmv to flv Ya I have the camera roll issue too, and even with the latest update my home button takes 5-6 clicks to work, where it was fine when I first got this phone and it's been babied
