For last week’s Technologizer column over at TIME.com, I took a look at Google+, the promising new “project” that consists of several loosely-knit services that add up to a plausible Facebook alternative.
At the moment, it’s a sort of Fantasyland where almost everybody is a tech geek, and nearly all the talk is about Google+. And …
Today only, Amazon is selling the Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for $47—it regularly sells for $60.
The keyboard measures a third of an inch thick and self-charges using the available light in your office—”even desk lamp light,” according to Logitech.
Once fully charged, it’ll work “for at least three months in total …
Google’s social networking Facebook rival test-launched not quite two weeks ago, and it’s already suffering growing pains. In fact Google+’s storage well apparently ran dry this weekend, prompting the service to spam users with a sudden fusillade of error messages.
On Saturday, Google+ senior vice president of “social” Vic Gundotra …
Who’s the search engine that knows the theme to Shaft?
No, not Google. But maybe Wolfram|Alpha can ring in as the savviest search engine out of ’em all, because it knows the theme to Shaft.

In an attempt to further tighten the national belt, the U.S. House moved this week to cut the James Webb Space Telescope from the budget, effectively threatening NASA’s follow-up to the Hubble, and the future of our eyes-in-space program. There’s something poetic (poetically dismaying, that is) about the timing, too: Space shuttle …
We’ve all heard about taking your work home with you, but what happens when your work decides to visit you online and start telling you what you can and can’t say during your off-hours? To wit: the Associated Press has issued an internal memo telling staffers that they should be careful expressing personal opinions on Facebook or …
Very few games have the kind of anticipation surrounding them that BioShock Infinite does. The first BioShock came out in 2007 and got hailed as a modern-day classic almost immediately for the way it wove character development, environmental design and philosophical underpinnings into a chilling and hypnotic experience.

I know, I know: You’re still upset about ABC canceling All My Children and One Life To Live in favor of cheaper daytime talk shows. But here’s the thing: The shows aren’t really going away – they’re just going online.
News is breaking that both shows will continue as web series, with Disney licensing the shows to online production …
We can all agree that Scrabble is the greatest mobile game in the history of mobile gaming, right? It makes a good board game, too, ironically enough.
But Scrabble’s been missing from Android phones for so long that I was beginning to wonder if EA and Android had some weird Scrabble-related falling out. Maybe Android invited EA over …
So you’ve maybe heard about Amazon offering unlimited server-based music storage (call it “cloud” if you must—I prefer the apparently retro/old-school term “online”). Like me, maybe you have a massive music collection that you’ve shopped around the online scene without success because of service storage limits (take a bow mostly Google …
As the team at Fox News discovered—to its chagrin—earlier this week, security lapses on social networks can have wide-ranging consequences.
As we reported, persons unknown took control of the Fox News Politics Twitter feed in the early hours of July 4th, and started trying to spread rumors that the president had been …
With the rise of video-on-demand services like Netflix and Hulu, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the internet is becoming an increasingly lucrative medium for media companies.
Certainly, the Writers Guild of America believed so, going on strike for four months between November 2007 and February 2008 for reasons that included …
