During his spiel at the Goldman Sachs technology conference Tim Cook addressed the giant pink elephant that’s been sitting in the corner for the last three years: Apple TV. According to Apple’s COO, the set-top box is still a “hobby” and they’re going with their “gut” by keeping it around. Apple isn’t interested in …
Gather round, children, for we have things to give away for free to you.
Today’s “Free Stuff” comes courtesy of Thumbplay, a streaming music service provider who happens to be beta testing a BlackBerry app. They dropped by the office the other week to show off their ‘wares and I was pleasantly surprised. Primarily because the …
We currently have two products in the lab that need to be tested – Casio Exilim EX-G1 (a camera) and Casio G’zOne Brigade (a cell phone). Both products are of the rough and tumble variety, so our goal is to break them. How should we do it? Everything will be caught on camera so sky’s the limit.
Over the last few days Apple has inexplicably pulled a number of apps thought to be offensive or a wee bit too titillating.

What’s most interesting is that the design team that puts together the print edition of Wired in Adobe …
A bit of MWC news that’s actually applicable to the US. Huzzah!

When Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone 7 this morning, they showed that they were finally ready to bring something stronger than NERF guns to the increasingly contentious smartphone street fight. They also indicated a level of commitment to a business that’s been even more neglected: mobile gaming. Games will be one of the six primary …
When you think about Microsoft, a lot of adjectives come to mind, but hip and cool are probably not among them. Many consumers associate Microsoft only with the Windows machine they’re using. And all those “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads have made Apple users like me feel kinda sorry for PCs.
