Today in Techland: Lev struck Twitter gold with a pretty-darn-geeky Tweet meme, Steve liked didn’t really mind saw Legion, and both Peter and Lev got schooled by an 11 year-old while playing Halo 3.
For Anyone Who Ever Attended Middle School. The trailer …
As it stands, the Nexus One sells for $529 unlocked or $179 for new T-Mobile subscribers. Existing T-Mobile customers who were eligible for an upgrade and already had existing data plans had to fork over $379 while those without data plans were paying $279. Not very fair, IMO.

Been wondering who on Caprica this Allie Townsend is? She’s our wonderful little intern and we forced her into this week’s Techland Show. It was awkward. For her.
Watch as we discuss Google’s exit strategy out of China, unbox a special care package from EA, discuss whether or not the Spider-Man franchise is dead and gawk over …
The Android Market pales in comparison to Apple’s App Store based on number of apps, but that doesn’t mean the quality of apps available to Android users aren’t up to snuff. We’ve listed 12 18 apps that cover a wide range of interests and genres but is not indicative of the Android Market as a whole. Think of this as a starting …
Google threatens to pull out of China after they discover hacking into gmail accounts of human rights activists, Netflix to add movie streaming to the Wii this spring, rumors abound on the Apple tablet announcement, likely coming in late January.
All that and more in today’s edition of the daily Nerdcast with Techland’s Peter Ha …
There’s surely some connection between Google flipping the switch on https access for everyone using Gmail as a default and the China debacle but they likely won’t admit it. Not that they need to but it became quite clear that Gmail accounts had been accessed via third parties yesterday when it was announced that Google might be …
It takes big cajones to stand up to China these days and Google just whipped em out after a thwarted cyber attack. According to Google, the attack was a “sophisticated and targeted attack” on the companies corporate infrastructure, which resulted in stolen IP. *gasp*
Turns out the attack was not only aimed at Google, though. Some ~20 …
Today via its Docs Blog, Google announced plans to offer additional file storage space through Google Docs.
Instead of storing files (media, pdfs, photos, etc) in your email account, Google Docs users will be able to upload these files directly into their Docs account. (Hello, computer backup!) Says Google:

It’s never an easy task to review a device that you’ve had for less than two or three or even four weeks. The rush of trying to be beat other outlets constantly hangs over your shoulder. Do you rush to get a review out and subject yourself to the criticism that comes with having left off the most critical or asinine factoid possible? …
The Nexus One. The Microsoft tablet. The Consumer Electronics Show. All big stories in the news this week.
All utterly foreign to me.
I’m the TV and movie dude. But with Peter in Vegas, I decided to try my hand at talking gadgets. The results were not pretty. (Watch Peter Ha’s CES Report on the Nexus One and HP Slate here)
On …
Gadgets were big news this week with Google announcing their android phone and Microsoft introducing a surprise tablet device at CES.
First impressions of the HP Slate is that it’s underwhelming. While most expected something along the lines of The Courier, a live journal-like device that nerds are excited about, instead they produced …
