The dust from the 24-hour Dragon Age: Origins Warden’s Quest tournament has begun to settle, and the sleep-deprived, blood-soaked winner has been declared : The team representing the nation of Hungary. The Hungarians trailed in the rankings until the fourth round of the contest, when they rallied to pass the BioWare Community team (who finished in second place). We guess you could say they were just Hungarier for victory then everyone else. America, however, must have only been slightly peckish , ending up with a disappointing ninth place (or next-to-last place) finish, and getting eliminated in the third round of the competition. This might be a small blow to our egos, but hey — at least we’re still better at dragon slaying than the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Booyah!

If you aren’t sure whether your favorite Mac apps are compatible with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, SnowChecker can help. It scans your hard drive for apps, and then checks their compatibility against the info posted at snowleopard.wikidot.com . Not only does SnowChecker show you whether your apps are incompatible, it also gives you details notes about which features are broken. To quickly see which apps are going to have issues under 10.6 and might need to be updated - either by you or by the app’s developer - sort the list by status. Red Xs are apps whose functionality is completely borked in Snow Leopard, while yellow alerts represent apps where one or more inessential functions don’t work. SnowChecker will sometimes even offer a workaround for these, like running the app in 32-bit mode or disabling Google Gears.

Nikon, never satisfied with merely standing still, have brought out a lovely new iPhone app that acts as an always-there photography guide. If you’re an amateur, semi-pro, or even a professional wondering how certain effects or styles are pulled off — this app would make a great addition to your iPhone’s arsenal. This new app, Learn And Explore , allows you to hunt for professional examples to show you what’s possible in a given situation. There are guides that will show you how to take photos in tricky conditions — indors, outdoors, low-light, long-exposure — it’s al lhere. They’re promising continuos updates and access to their Nikon World magazine through the app. No reason this would only be of use to a Nikon user either — though if there’s any kind of Nikon branding on the software, I’m not sure a Canon user would be seen dead with it… [via CNET ] Original source: www.pheedcontent.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru

As I mentioned yesterday , internet movie channel Epix launched this weekend. The TV channel is available to Verizon FiOS customers, who can also login to the EpixHD web site to watch dozens of movies including new releases such as Iron Man and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as well as older, more obscure titles including Bubba Ho Tep and Son of Rambow . If you don’t have Verizon FiOS you can request a 3-day weekend trial of the service, but I’m not entirely sure what the point is, since Epix doesn’t plan to launch a web-only version anytime soon. Perhaps they’re hoping you’ll contact your local cable, satellite, or other TV provider and request they add Epix to the lineup. If your invitation hasn’t come through yet, you can take solace in the fact that I did score an invite. OK, that may not be much comfort, but I did manage to grab a bunch of screenshots of the user interface. It’s kind of a mixed bag right now. The search function works quite nicely and you can click the watch button from the drop-down menu that appears when you’re searching for a movie — if the movie is available. Unfortunately, there are a ton of listings for movies that you can’t actually watch yet, including Star Trek , GI Joe , and The Godfather I, II, and III
