The original Karate Kid was about self-discipline; the new incarnation is far more about self-preservation. And while at the outset that distinction is a subtle one, it’s jarring enough to give the whole movie a different, pulpy flavor that can, at times, skew uncomfortably violent.
After all, how brutal do these fist-to-fist duels …
Quick Overview:
Please note that in the above video I state that the VAIO P will start at $800 and be available June 8th, but Sony’s site has recently listed the price for this model at $899.99 and a shipping date of “on or about 6/25/2010″ which is a change since I made the video back in late May.
Since the introduction of …
These days every manufacturer sets out to pack everything including the kitchen sink into a device but very few actually achieve such nirvana. HTC, however, managed to cram everything and anything into the EVO 4G for Sprint.
At its core, the EVO 4G is a beast of a device, both in size and specs. The 4.3-inch 800×480 screen is …

Five years ago, if you’d tried to tell me that a series other than Tony Hawk Pro Skater would be ruling the roost in the skateboard video game category, I would’ve laughed at you and gone back pulling off …
A friend forwarded me a review of The Losers by the Hollywood Reporter, and I was a little startled to read the opening sentiments: “The Losers is a cartoonish nonstop action movie in which characters zip around the world, breaking, entering and blowing things up without any pretense to logic,” it begins. “It’s a world devoid of …
There’s only so much I can say about a Windows Mobile device without wanting to gnaw my own foot off. The software is horrendous and the only people I ever encounter that have one are Microsoft employees or the PR folk who represent them. But the HTC HD2 for T-Mobile is different enough – screen size aside – that it warrants a smidgen …
It wasn’t that long ago when your choice of Android-based devices was limited to two or three models. Nowadays each carrier has at least two (AT&T: 2, T-Mobile: 6, Sprint: 3, Verizon: 5). And HTC is leading the charge with the likes of the Nexus One, Hero, Evo and now, the Droid Incredible for Verizon. I’ve had one for the last few …
Today Cisco officially unveiled the latest addition to the Flip family: SlideHD. (I hinted at a new model back in January, by the way.) Flip products have always been simple to use and the SlideHD doesn’t venture too far off the reservation.
What’s unique about this particular model is the 3-inch resistive touchscreen (recording …
“What am I going to do with this thing?”
This is what I’ve been thinking about since I first laid hands on the iPad back in January in San Francisco. While the rest of the Internet bitched and moaned about the lack of this (camera) or that (SD card slot/USB port/etc.), which I couldn’t care less about, I wondered what developers …
