There are new per-street graphs in the statistics pane and also in the HUD. Yes, the HUD now has an option to draw many of its stats as bar graphs! FlopZoom 1.3 requires a database rebuild, and also starts a new 30-day trial period when installed over an expired version. 21 February 2010 21:20:31 GMT http://www.floptech.com/ http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor20 Apple iPad: $499. Custom Armani suit: $2000. First on national TV with an iPad: Priceless. We'll be seeing a lot more iPads on TV, for sure. We wonder if and when Jack Bauer will use one to save the world on "24"... 01 February 2010 05:49:12 GMT http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor20 http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor19 Apple has announced its breakthrough iPad computing appliance. Love it? Hate it? It doesn't matter. This is the future of computing, and it makes a lot of sense to us. 29 January 2010 07:38:40 GMT http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor19 http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor18 HP Tablet PC == zzzzzzz. Sony 3D TV == ping us again in 2015. Parrot AR.Drone augmented-reality quadricopter controlled by iPhone == Winner! 07 January 2010 23:17:50 GMT http://www.floptech.com/video/index.html#anchor18 http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info1-vegas-pix-200912 It's big, it's new, and it's a must-see when you're in Vegas. It's City Center and it's incredibly photogenic. Here are a few pix of it, plus a few of good old Bellagio next door. 30 December 2009 04:12:11 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info1-vegas-pix-200912 http://www.floptech.com/ So yeah, MacBook Pros are pretty tough, but they're no match for military weaponry. The bad news: Lily's MacBook is a write-off. The good news: the hard drive wasn't hit. 22 December 2009 21:47:23 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info4-17a http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-6 Each of the six TV tablists deserved to win it. They're all great players, but only one ended up with all the chips. He's got 2 WSOP bracelets already, and now he's got his first WPT win. 20 December 2009 12:32:51 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-6 http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-5 It took barely five hours to eliminate 10 players and get down to the TV six. There were plenty of massive pots and several key 3-way all-ins. And you'd never guess which of the big stacks busted and which of the short stacks have come back... 19 December 2009 10:01:51 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-5 http://www.floptech.com/ Play has blasted through the money bubble and we're down to the final 16. Big stacks busted out, short stacks became the chip leaders, and the TV table is almost in sight... 18 December 2009 09:08:23 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-4 http://www.floptech.com/ We're rapidly approaching the money at Bellagio. The tournament is half over now, there are only 36 players, and if you're not above average in chips, you're at risk. Wednesday night was also the grand opening of Aria at City Center, and we've got photos... 17 December 2009 14:01:26 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-3 http://www.floptech.com/ The player count climbed past 300 as dozens of players bought in on day 2 at Bellagio. And several players shaved their heads in solidarity with a fellow pro going through chemotherapy. 16 December 2009 09:03:42 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-2 http://www.floptech.com/ The WPT has rolled into Vegas, and so has our CEO "Rocket Boy." He took a few shots of the WPT at Bellagio and many shots of the impressive, brand spanking new City Center next door. We'll be posting his blogs throughout the week. 15 December 2009 11:18:39 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-wpt-bellagio-09-1 http://www.floptech.com/ This release addresses several critical issues in 1.2.9 and earlier versions of FlopZoom. If you have had any problems with missing sessions with 1.2.9, please download and launch 1.2.10 at your earliest convenience. This release fixes that problem as well as two problems with the HUD. It's a free update for all registered users, and we strongly recommend it for all FlopZoom users. 12 December 2009 12:08:39 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.10 http://www.floptech.com/ We spent a lot of time improving FlopZoom's statistics performance and session searching performance. We've also built the foundation for adding new statistics with even faster performance in the future. And there are several fixes, especially in the HUD. This release starts a new 30-day trial period for all expired versions of FlopZoom. And, of course, it's a free upgrade for all registered versions. 07 December 2009 23:14:11 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.9 http://www.floptech.com/ First, Apple announces its best quarter in history, smack in the middle of the worst recession in decades. Then, less than 24 hours later, Apple releases upgraded iMacs, MacBooks, Mac minis, and the new way-cool Magic Mouse. So how can you blame these CNN guys for their results-oriented giddiness? 20 October 2009 23:22:12 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info4-16 http://www.floptech.com/ We added two floating data panels to the HUD: one with player data, and another with table data. You can see your hourly rate, the win/loss amounts of your opponents, and the average pot size at any table, among many other statistics. The session pane has a new click-drag feature that lets you quickly scan for your hole cards and win/loss amounts on each hand in a session. And we've beefed up the session search feature in playback. This release also starts a new 30-day trial period for all expired versions of FlopZoom. 08 October 2009 18:55:49 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.8 http://www.floptech.com/ We put all kinds of Playback improvements, stability, performance, bug fixes, and convenience features into FlopZoom 1.2.7. You can click on hole cards to see a list of any player's known hole cards + win/loss amounts, among other things. And there are playback controls right on the table now as well.

Especially when pretty ladies are near him, whether they be poker players, railbirds, or booth bunnies. Pix of the ladies: great. Pix of the food: you be the judge... 23 July 2009 00:34:44 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info1-10 http://www.floptech.com/ Several bubbles were burst, along with the hopes of 18 out of the 27 survivors who made it to day 8. There were several huge jumps up the pay ladder, and of course, there are only 9 seats at the all-important November final table. Rocket Boy railed the event and he got pix of the nine who have locked up those seats. 16 July 2009 12:42:34 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info1-9 http://www.floptech.com/ We focused on the head-up display (HUD) and the Playback pane for 1.2.6. And we put them together! You can now run the HUD on Playback, and it will show you the exact data you saw when you played your sessions live. Go back in time and review earlier hands in sessions you're playing right now, or on sessions you played days, months, or years ago. There's also a new Learning Mode for practicing putting players on hand ranges, and many other improvements. 18 August 2009 04:26:18 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.6 http://www.floptech.com/ We've added support for Mixed Hold'em sessions on PokerStars, improved support for Pot Limit Hold'em, and fixed several HUD bugs related to multi-table tournaments.

This is a free update, as they always have been and always will be! 06 August 2009 01:47:30 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.5 http://www.floptech.com/ Hot on the heels of 1.2.3 comes 1.2.4, with a bug fix that we didn't get into the previous version. The 1.2.4 update fixes a crash in the Session pane when the Leather theme is chosen. This is a free update as always! 25 July 2009 21:16:02 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info0-1.2.4 http://www.floptech.com/ We've updated our advanced Texas Hold'em odds calculator and hand playback widget for the Mac OS X Dashboard.

But even if Apple could do this, they wouldn't. Physical keyboards are so 2006. On the other hand, a product like this could save Palm... 25 September 2009 18:35:49 GMT http://www.floptech.com/index.html#info4-12
