Flash vs. HTML5. HTML5 vs. Flash. Whatever your take on the respective merits of the two high-profile technologies for creating splashy Web content, you can’t deny that the rivalry between Adobe’s venerable Flash and the assortment of evolving open-source …
The most interesting thing about Motorola’s new Xoom tablet–which I reviewed for this week’s TIME.com Technologizer column and is available from Verizon dealers starting today–is that it’s the first tablet that runs Google’s new Android 3.0 Honeycomb operating system. The second most interesting is the support for Verizon’s speedy LTE …
As part of my research for this week’s TIME.com column on tech-savvy cars, I got to spend a few days test-driving a 2012 Ford Focus Titanium hatchback that was decked out with MyFord Touch, an advanced infotainment system with an 8-inch color touchscreen, voice input and output, Bluetooth, multiple jacks for hooking up external devices, …
My TIME.com column this week is about Motorola’s Atrix 4G, an Android handset that’s available for pre-order from AT&T starting on February 13th and is scheduled for release by March 6th. I spent most of my wordage on the aspect of the phone that’s unquestionably most interesting: the optional laptop dock that gives the Atrix a big …
My TIME.com Technologizer column this week is about camera phones and traditional digital cameras. I love ’em both. But I’m frustrated by the fact that conventional cameras–which still take the best photos–remain some of the least Internet-savvy gadgets around. (As I say in the piece, most people still get photos off a camera and onto …
This week’s Technologizer column on TIME.com is about e-books–and how e-reading software for computers and smartphones lets you enjoy them without splurging on a Kindle, Nook, or other piece of specialized hardware. Writing it got me thinking about a fact I’d forgotten about: I started reading e-books back in the mid-1990s, before …
My new TIME.com Technologizer column–now a Thursday feature at the site rather than a Tuesday one–is a recap of the state of the tablet wars as of last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show. There were dozens of upcoming models at the show–new Android models, RIM’s still-a-work-in-progress BlackBerry PlayBook, dark horses …
For this week’s Technologizer column on TIME.com, I wrote about the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which will take over Las Vegas this week. I’m going to hop on a plane in a few hours and go there myself–and even though the show is massive, crowded, frenetic, and tiring, I’m looking forward to the experience. But if I …
For my latest Technologizer column over at TIME.com, I peered ahead into 2011 and compiled a list of products and trends that should have an impact before the year is out. I tried to avoid making out-and-out predictions: I think that so much is unknowable that if your prognostications pan out it may be due to luck as much as anything …
My Technologizer column over at TIME.com this week is about the time I spent with a Cr-48, Google’s experimental Chrome OS notebook. It’s called “The Promise and Pitfalls of Cloud Computing.” And really, I dislike the buzzword “cloud computing” so much that was a major concession on my part using it at all. Like many buzzwords, it (A) …
For this week’s Technologizer column on TIME.com, I reviewed Google’s Nexus S phone–the new “pure Google” phone that sports Android in exactly the form that Google intended, without any of the manufacturer- or carrier-related modifications that rarely seem to result in a noticeably better handset, and sometimes actively damage the …
In this week’s Technologizer column at TIME.com, I take a stab at answering technology’s longest-running question: “PC or Mac?” My answer won’t please everybody–it’s a topic that instantly sends some people into prickly, combative mode–but it’s the only one that makes sense: “It depends on what you’re trying to do, and how much money …
