Frozen Synapse has been a successful title on Steam for a while now -- it's a turn-based strategy game, with twist being that you're a sort of tactical AI, running these battles on simulations and hardware rather than in real life. As a result, the big draw of Frozen Synapse is that while, like many other tactical strategy games, you are guiding a series of soldiers around turn by turn, these turns are actually simulated, and you can test them out and repeat them as many times as you like before playing out the "prime" sequence, and running the real thing. The pacing of the game is pretty perfect, then. Frozen Synapse has now been ported to the iPad, and the touchscreen gives you a whole lot of flexibility over what commands you can give your little soldiers: Just double tap on the screen to set up waypoints for them, and then you can drag those points around as needed. You can then run the simulation to see what happens, but of course your enemies don't always behave in the real world as they do in the sim, so it's up to you as commander to make sure you've planned for any contingencies in the various scripting you've passed out to your troops. Frozen Synapse is simple once you figure it out, but the UI allows you to do a lot with the little guys you control, and as a result can be fairly complicated. Still, there's lots of helpful tutorial videos included, and the good news is that there's no shortage of content for the game. In addition to a full campaign, you can also play instantly created skirmishes, or five different multiplayer modes. Frozen Synapse is available for a premium price of $6.99, but that's much cheaper than the Steam version still goes for. If you're a tactical strategy fan, this one is a don't miss for sure.Daily iPad App: Frozen Synapse simulates some very impressive turn-based strategy originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Thu, 23 May 2013 21:00:00 EST.

It's prom season — for the planets Every couple of years, give or take, planets get together in the night sky in such a way that they seem to be aligned with each other. They seem to be, really — from Earth's perspective — shyly approaching each other, asking each other to dance. This planetary mixing-and-mingling is scientifically known as "planetary conjunction" ... but it's colloquially known, probably because of the corsages and the limos and the awkward dancing, the "Dance of the Planets." We're about to have an especially rare and wonderful version of that dance. The night skies this week, provided they're clear, will reveal, yep, a triple conjunction — a planetary crossover featuring the three brightest planets as seen from Earth: Mercury, Venus and Jupiter. Between May 24 and May 29, the celestial trio will fit within a circle whose diameter is less than 5 degrees wide on the sky's dome. They'll dance around each other (as, ostensibly, "Feel This Moment" plays in the background). Read more...More about Space, Nasa, Science, Astronomy, and Moon

Tumblr was recently acquired by Yahoo for $1.1 billion. Which early employees hit the jackpot with their stock options? We rounded up 14 of the earliest employees at Tumblr. They were the site's first users, template designers, and friends of David Karp's. The first employee was Marco Arment, who went on to found and sell his own startup, Instapaper. Another early Tumblr employee, Jared Hecht, went on to sell a startup, GroupMe, to Skype for ~ $80 million. See how they all fared ...David Karp is the founder and CEO of Tumblr Date founded: 2006 Role and career history: David Karp is the founder and CEO of Tumblr. The acquisition will net him somewhere around $200 million. Prior to founding Tumblr, Karp was Head of Product at Urban Baby, a site that was acquired by CNET in 2006. The money from the acquisition seeded Davidville, Karp's creative company that ultimately produced Tumblr. Marco Arment was Tumblr's first employee. While he isn't "yacht-and-helicopter- rich," he did alright. Date joined: 2006 Role and career history: Arment was Tumblr's first employee in 2006. He calls himself an "idea editor." "While I wasn’t a 'founder' financially, David was generous with my employee stock options back in the day," Arment wrote on his blog earlier this week. "I won’t make yacht-and-helicopter money from the acquisition, and I won’t be switching to dedicated day and night iPhones. But as long as I manage investments properly and don’t spend recklessly, Tumblr has given my family a strong safety net and given me the freedom to work on whatever I want." Marc LaFountain was Tumblr's third employee and he launched their customer service office in Richmond, Virginia. Date joined: Full time in April 2008, part time before that. Role and career history: LaFountain was one of Tumblr's first 18,000 users. He started working part-time for Karp and joined full-time in April 2008 as Tumblr's "one-man tech support shop." "I just wrote them and said, hey, I'm one of your earlier and most passionate users and I would really love it if you would give me the opportunity to do tech support for Tumblr. I had a bit of an IT and support background," LaFountain told The Atlantic in 2011. He says he and Karp exchanged two emails calls and had a call that likely was shorter than ten minutes. After that, he had the job. See the rest of the story at Business Insider Please follow SAI on Twitter and Facebook.
