Hold. The. Phone.
Someone other than Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell holds the world record for Donkey Kong. Say hello to 35-year-old Hank Chien of NY, NY, everyone. Chien broke the record held by Mitchell (1,050,200) on February 27, 2010, with a score of 1,061,700 points. He made it to the kill screen in 2 hours and 35 minutes on an original Donkey Kong machine in NY, says Twin Galaxies.
Crazy.
I wonder if Mitchell will try to regain the record.
Google has made its $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility official. Google CEO Larry Page announced the closing of the deal in a company blog post.
It’s “friggin’ huge,” as my colleague Jared Newman recently quipped, and Samsung’s Galaxy S III is also going to be friggin’ expensive if you’re in the U.S. and want firsties. While the phone’s stateside launch date is still “early June,” Amazon has started taking pre-orders for the international version.
