Here’s what else is going on in nerd news around the web:
Finally, love is possible for Apple elitists: Introducing Cupidtino: The first and only dating site for Apple product owners.
[via The Daily What]
Potentially the greatest thing I’ve seen all day:
Potentially the greatest thing Peter’s …
I don’t watch Ellen since, you know, I have a job that requires me to work during the day instead of watching TV, so I missed this the other day. It’s actually pretty funny, but Apple didn’t think so.
Hewlett Packard has unveiled its updated line of Envy notebooks, with the big draw being the 14-inch Envy 14 priced at just under $1,000. The computer measures an inch thick and weighs 4.4 pounds, which is pretty good for a machine with a 14-inch screen.
It’s actually a 14.5-inch screen for those of you keeping score, and HP is …
Earlier today I brought a little bit of insight into what Microsoft’s KIN is all about. Or, at the very least, who helped mold the devices and software running behind the latest Windows Phone platform.
Let me be very clear about this – the KIN does not compete with Android, the iPhone, Palm or BlackBerry devices. Think of the …
Microsoft is making bold strides to change their image and listen to customer’s needs and wants. And you can tell by their marketing and advertising campaigns from the last couple of years. (I loved the Seinfeld and Gates spots, BTW.) The concept is nothing new, of course. But I have to believe that for a project like KIN, they had to …
Everybody try to remain calm when I tell you that Best Buy may be getting ready to offer in-store pickup for the iPad. Currently you have to search store inventories, see which stores have them in stock, and then head to the store hoping to get your hands on one before they sell out.
The in-store pickup option lets you put a credit or …
During my meeting with T-Mobile last week, Andrew Sherrard, the VP of Production Innovation, informed me that first generation myTouch 3G owners will soon get an update that modifies the vanilla Android UI to match the updated UI that T-Mobile has built for the myTouch 3G Slide including key features like the Genius Button sans hard …
I hinted at the myTouch 3G Slide the other week and earlier today in our Mother’s Day Gift Guide and now it’s finally official.
(More on Techland: Unboxing the T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide)
It won’t be available until June, but the myTouch 3G Slide is the perfect (and I’m not joking about this) smartphone for every member of …
I’m one fed up Hotmail user – and a Hotmail user who writes for a web site. So I get to make my rant public. Bear with me, I’m just the culture guy here -
Somewhere around 3 a.m. last Thursday, my e-mail account was closed. Deleted. Destroyed. Assassinated. Presumably by Hotmail administrators. Without any notice to me. I’ve …
I kinda have a love/hate thing going on with my Wii. You see the worst kind of shovelware and craptastic mini-game collections proliferating on Nintendo’s uber-successful console. Worse yet, the company’s success with the Wii can be seen as reinforcing a cautious conservatism with their approach to hardware and first-party …
Word came down from the hilltop last week that lala.com would be closing up shop at the end of this month. The whole of the Internet and its gaggle of pundits were quick to jump on the ‘iTunes.com is coming!’ bandwagon. I, for one, thought the same thing. Why else would Apple have purchased lala in the first place? But now I’m not …
Hot on the heels of Steve Jobs’ Thoughts on Flash post from last week, wherein the Apple CEO made his case for why app developers shouldn’t use third-party cross platform development software, the New York Post is now reporting that “the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission are locked in negotiations over which of the …
