Wi-Fi on the rails in Kazakhstan

The idea of installing Wi-Fi on passenger trains has been around as long as the idea of installing wireless broadband on airplanes. But despite a number of trials and a handful of service launches – most of them in the UK and Europe – Wi-Fi on trains has been slow to catch on, especially in Asia.

With One Huge Hit Under Its Belt, Tapulous Debuts Another Music Game Series: Riddim Ribbon
Posted by Jason Kincaid on February 7th, 2010
Back in July 2008, Tapulous released a music game for the iPhone called Tap Tap Revenge (TTR). The game proved to be a massive hit, growing to 1 million users within its first few weeks. Over the last year and a half, TTR and its sequels have become the most popular series on the App Store, with over 25 million installs. And tonight, Tapulous is ready to release an entirely new music-focused gaming series: Riddim Ribbon (iTunes link), featuring the Black Eyed Peas.
Riddim Ribbon is a fusion between racing, popular songs, and to some extent, remixing music. After choosing a song, the game throws you into a hyper-colorful racetrack, where you pilot a futuristic spherical vehicle. The track is filled with small orbs (which are good) and obstacles (which are not), and there’s a path showing you where you should be driving. To control your vehicle, you tilt your iPhone from side to side. Most of this is standard fare for racing games, but Riddim Ribbon comes with a twist: you actually can modify the music you’re listening to during the race depending on how you navigate the course.
