Baltimore’s storied Berger cookies have come to Washington
My wife, Liz, and I had been living near Silver Spring a few months when we attended one of her good friend’s dinner parties last summer in Dupont Circle. Like many of Liz’s friends who live in or near Washington, this woman slams pretty much anything — music, people, stores — that smacks of mainstream American culture. Especially food.

Distro Issue 55: a cautionary tale of the state-supported 38 Studios
In 2004, Curt Schilling and a badly injured ankle led the Red Sox to their first World Series championship in 86 years. That's right, he was the ace that helped break the "Curse of the Bambino" from the mound. Fast forward to 2010, where Schilling had hung up his cleats and lobbied for Rhode Island officials to give his video game outfit, 38 Studios, a $75 million loan guarantee. Just two years later, the studio filed for Chapter 7, leaving the state's taxpayers holding the tab. In this week's issue, Jason Hidalgo takes a look at what went down in New England and examines the risk of public funds being used to support private tech companies. We had folks on the ground in Berlin to monitor the happenings at IFA this week and a few notable gadgets from said event occupy "Hands-on". As far as full-on reviews go, we put the Archos 101 XS, Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE and Acer Aspire V5 through their paces. "Forum" is chock full of even more reads, eSports commentator John Sargent stops by for the Q&A, "Time Machines" kicks it old school and "Eyes-on" takes on 35mm, retro-style photography. The week is over, so hit the link that you fancy the most to grab your copy and let the relaxation begin.

Microsoft confirms first wave of Xbox games for Windows 8
Been wondering what your gaming options will be when you first take a new Windows 8 PC or Windows RT tablet out of the box? Microsoft has confirmed today that its first wave of Xbox titles (as they're now known) for the OS will include 40 games, 29 of which come from Microsoft Studios. Those include quite a few familiar titles like Angry Birds (and Angry Birds Space), Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride, as well as the old mainstays like Solitaire, Minesweeper and Mahjong -- anyone hoping for the likes of a Halo or Gears of War title are out of luck for now, though. As we'd heard previously, all Xbox games will be accessible from within the pre-installed Games app, and they'll each boast most of the Xbox Live features you'd expect, including achievements and leaderboards. You can find the full list after the break, and Microsoft promises that more will be added "through holiday and beyond."

Lindsay Lohan Accused of Trashing Vintage Elizabeth Taylor Trailer
Another day, another Lindsay Lohan controversy.
This time, the 26-year-old walking nightmare is being accused of trashing a vintage 38-foot trailer once belonging to the legendary Elizabeth Taylor herself.
Wait ... what?
According to CNN, Taylor fan Angel Alger bought the lavish 38-foot travel trailer, where Taylor's romance with Richard Burton began, for $50,000 in June.
However, due to previous contracts, Alger was obligated to allow the use of Taylor's trailer for the Lifetime film Liz & Dick, starring Lohan, for two days.
When the trailer was given back to Alger, there was an estimated damage of over $100,000 from cigarette burns, broken mirrors and missing furniture.
Yup, sounds about right.
"I was specifically told that it would come back in pristine condition and in even better condition than it was at that time," she said of the vandalism.
Alger adds, "Only a psychotic and rebellious person or people would steal irreplaceable museum belongings and leave it in this vandalized condition."
Yup, sounds about right too.
Lindsay's rep Steve Honig slams the idea that his client, a huge fan of Taylor, would do such a thing, saying, "You should ask the producers about it."
It does seem hard to believe LiLo would do that, or stiff a hotel out of $46,000, or steal $100,000 in valuables from a guy's house, or rob a jewelry store, or crash into an 18-wheeler and lie about it, or pass out so hard people call 911, or ...

Gametel Bluetooth mobile controller lands stateside for $49.99
We were awash in skepticism when we first heard of Gametel's Bluetooth controller for Android and iOS, but then we laid our hands on one at CES 2012. At the time, it'd been available in Europe for awhile, and we were told to expect it on the shores of America by Q1. Gametel missed that mark, but the gamepad's finally for sale in the US and can be had for $50. That half a hundred gets you nine hours of battery life along with a d-pad, four standard buttons and two shoulder triggers for your tactile gaming pleasure. Sound good? You can pick one up at the source below.
