The most popular free iPhone game of the year has gotten a full overhaul with more Open GL
goodness, more frantic Guitar-Hero-inspired music tapping, and most importantly, more Daft
Punk.
Several major musical acts have found their way into new App Store games based on the Guitar
Hero-like Tap Tap Revenge, developer Tapulous has announced. The first, Christmas With Weezer,
includes six original Christmas songs by the rock band, as well as two singles off the most recent
studio album. The second game, Tap Tap Dance, features a host of electronic dance acts such as

href="http://gizmodo.com/5027790/why-we-still-need-the-iphone-app-black-market"feeling the burn of
Apple's SDK restrictions/a (not allowing access to a user's own iPod tracks, like in the jailbreak
version of old), developers Tapulous have hit a nerve with Tap Tap Revenge, which is now released
weekly with new songs from big-label artists like Q-Tip and NIN./p pTap Tap Dance, as its name
would suggest, focuses more on the electro bangers, which suits the tapping just fine. More
importantly, though, the game is based on an all-new OpenGL-based platform that allows for more
variety not just in crazy background graphics, but in changing the layout of the tapping tracks
themselves which is a nice switch up in game play. Tapulous CEO Bart Decrem says that the platform
also allows for embedded video for even more craziness in the background eventually and interactive
music videos of sorts./p pAdding embedded video and more craziness might lead to slowdowns, which
in a rhythm game is a no-no. The version we played can get a little jerky at times, but on the
whole is smooth and looks great. Tap Tap Dance is $5, but the free version will continue to receive
its weekly updates and new tracks, and will eventually be ported over to the new Open GL framework
itself next year./p pobject width="640" height="361"param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" param

width="1" height="1" //divpNovember was a big month for Boris Johnson. Policy initiatives flowed,
on transport, on culture, on youth crime; some were still at the consultative stage but all have
given shape and substance to a regime initially defined by its haplessness. For months, the Mayor
Boris story was one of drift and departing advisers. Now, at last, true political battle can be
joined. A year ago, candidate Johnson seemed too posh, too daft and too much of the cartoon right
to become London's mayor. Today, his opponents may find him a more elusive target than they'd
hoped./ppThere was widespread expectation that the Blond's ambition was to be Ken Livingstone's
antithesis. Reality is proving more complex. In keeping with his mandate and spurred by the
downturn, Johnson has cut jobs and spending across the Greater London Authority bureaucracies, yet
has talked up the virtues of public spending on Crossrail, the Underground and an Olympics legacy.
Public transport fares will rise above the rate of inflation in January, but discounts for the
poorest will be retained. Most intriguing of all, Johnson's gut economic liberalism is being
complemented by his own version of its social counterpart./ppThere is more to this than his broad
adherence to David Cameron's "caring Conservatism" agenda. Johnson has gone strikingly further, in
supporting the London Living Wage and in commissioning a study into the effects of granting earned
amnesties to long-term illegal immigrants./ppBoth moves have had Tory top brass leaping to safe
political distances, but they pose a greater threat to Johnson's challengers. There are cases to be
made that his housekeeping will hurt the vulnerable most and that his housing policy favours those
on middle incomes. But it's harder to depict him as a Thatcherite xenophobe when he's bumping up
working-class incomes and lobbying for 400,000 rule-breaking foreigners to be freed from the
underground economy./ppOpponents will have to respond imaginatively to his line on inclusion and
opportunity. Though he is wearingly persuaded by the rightwing whine about so-called political
correctness, he has acknowledged that the agitation for minority rights Ken Livingstone fostered in
the 80s had good reasons for existing./ppJohnson still often recoils from such stuff. Endorsing
Barack Obama in his Telegraph column he wrote that a benefit of the US electing its first black
president would be the end of "race-based politics" and the associated "grievance culture". With
typical Tory dimness, he seems to imagine that Obama's victory could still have happened had
"race-base politics" not prepared the ground./ppHis strategies on culture and equalities are
similar in disdaining the identity politics that emerged from those civil rights campaigns. Yet
they emphasise widening access and encouraging participation. Johnson's approach highlights
important questions. Identity politics are often defensive, a reaction to hostility. In the city
London has now become, is such defensiveness necessary? Is targeting grants at minority groups the
best way to tackle discrimination, or does it sometimes institutionalise a limiting introversion?
If the goal is to break down barriers against full participation in society, what is the best way
for the mayor to help achieve it?/ppJohnson is feeling his way towards a formula that works for
him, a blend of can-do, moral intervention and an old-fashioned Tory pragmatism that recognises
that the capital is the loser if hundreds of thousands of people are marooned in its social
margins. At the same time, it seeks to address Johnson's image problem. Yet paradoxically, it's
also one that could build on some of the finest achievements of the left. If it does, how will the
left respond?/pp· Dave Hill blogs about London at a

Likely a huge hit at any Halloween party it attended, Casey Pugh's Daft Punk helmet - It's a 16x5
LED matrix installed inside a cheap motorcycle helmet I found on Amazon. I used the Arduino to
program all the animations. (arduino.cc)
The LEDs are on cardboard, so I punched holes between every single LED and some larger slits
around the sides in order to see out. Straight-up awesome. [via Synthtopia]

Arduino.
