It’s no secret that the best ideas hit you while you’re either dreaming or in the shower. Best of luck trying to write something down while you’re asleep unless you sleepwalk habitually, in which case your scribbling probably looks like “Osmosis is after me. Bread! Taking Shasta by noon.”
Writing in the shower is a much more …
It’s come to the attention of the nerd collective that two of Apple’s iPad accessories will be delayed until May. That’s right, the iPad keyboard and 10W USB power adapter are being pushed back until sometime in May.
I’m wondering why Apple doesn’t delay the iPad, too. The case won’t even ship until the week after. And who …
Over the next few months, it appears that we’re going to be seeing a distinct divide between tablets and slates. There will probably be some crossover in naming conventions—some slates called tablets, maybe some tablets called slates—but for the sake of argument, let’s refer to tablets as devices that run more mobile-ish …
Well that was entirely unexpected. Looks like Google is now offering the Nexus One to AT&T and Rogers customers. Anyone biting?

Microsoft is slowly (slooooowly) making its way back into the mobile phone arena with the impending Windows Phone 7 initiative. It’s seriously like the guy who waits until 10:59:59 to check out of a hotel. Apple, Google, and even Palm are halfway to Albuquerque and Microsoft hasn’t even showered yet.
But Microsoft’s got a …
“MOG is where your music listening dreams come true. All of them. Weird.”
There’s something about music that has the ability to lift your spirits, crush your soul or keep you even-keeled. Maybe it’s an inherent trait that’s built into all of us or maybe I’m an emo kid that relies on music to dictate what mood I’m going to be …
So I was talking to my brother the other day about pre-ordering the iPad, which I didn’t do, and he mentioned this SD card adapter that he was going to buy. I thought he was talking about ZoomIt, but it turns out that Apple is making a camera adapter for the iPad. My brother claims that it was announced during the iPad press conference …
Starting today, Apple is accepting pre-orders for the iPad, which hits stores Saturday, April 3. Apple has limited iPad reservations to two per customer and is offering free delivery or free in-store pickup. (More on Techland: Hands-on With the Apple iPad)

So no, Up in the Air didn’t win best picture Sunday night. And I sort of thought that was a shame (in my year-end top ten list, it was the only movie to beat out Avatar for my top slot).
But the movie is out on DVD and Blu-Ray today, so you can now see what all the critical clamoring was about around the holidays, when the George …
Now that Apple has made it official is anyone picking up an iPad or pre-ordering? The April 3rd date is specific to Wi-Fi models in the US. There’s still no word on shipping dates for the 3G model, but Apple says they’ll be shipping in late April. (More on Techland: Hands-on With the Apple iPad)

This takes me back to the olden days of 2003 when I was still rockin’ out with my Palm Pilot.
Google announced Gesture Search late yesterday as a new addition to Google Labs for Android devices running v2.0 and higher. It’s a pretty straightforward app but it has to be open to work. Sort of defeats the purpose if you ask …
Ask anyone what they think of Sony today and chances are you won’t get a positive response. The company that once dominated the consumer electronics sector has fallen on hard times in recent years. Every facet of the business is playing catch up to companies like Microsoft, Samsung and Apple. What went wrong?
I fondly remember my …
