Harry Potter-style animated photos are closer than you might think. A U.K. company is working on technology that prints electronic circuits onto incredibly thin layers of plastic—so thin, they can be attached to paper and you’d hardly notice they were there.
The team at PragmatIC have got together with a greeting card company to put …
Dear Amazon,
Hi, it’s me, Doug Aamoth—Amazon Prime member, Subscribe and Save junkie, Cloud Player user, lover and friend. So this Android tablet of yours is looking more and more like a reality, which is cool. I think you have a lot of the right pieces in place to pull it off.
But as someone who’s spent thousands at your site …
Motorola’s next tablet, according to one rumor, will use the same 4:3 aspect ratio as Apple’s iPad, signaling that Motorola has soured on widescreen tablets.
The Motorola Xoom, like most other 10-inch Android Honeycomb tablets currently on the market, uses a 1280-by-800 resolution display. The iPad’s display resolution is 1024-by-768, …
Sometimes with Apple rumors, a little common sense goes a long way.
The latest scuttlebutt says that Apple will release the iPhone 5 in mid-August, based on several U.K. job postings for iPhone sales specialists. According to CNet UK, the posting by recruitment firm Reed seeks “full-time iPhone Sales Staff for an exciting project” …
Alas, it’s looking like Thursday as D-Day for Mac OS X Lion’s official digital-only rollout was a bad call by the Apple news gossip club. As of today, July 14th, 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Apple’s homepage is still pimping the company’s iCloud service, announced last month but not publicly available until sometime this fall. OS X Lion is, …
Last week, we told you about the Associated Press’ guidelines on social media that, basically, told staff that they couldn’t share their personal opinions online for fear that it might reflect badly on the AP. After outcry online over the issue, the AP has released an updated set of guidelines to allow for more freedom of opinion… …
For products which still haven’t been officially announced, Sony’s upcoming Android tablets sure haven’t been publicity-shy.
Sony first teased them back in April. And on Wednesday, it held press events in New York and San Francisco at which it showed them off and released more details, such as the fact that the smaller S1 will …
Remember “Locationgate”? That one time everyone was up in arms about a hidden file in iPhones that fed location data back to Apple? If you don’t, that’s okay (in internet years that’s like trying to remember the ’60s). Here’s a kind refresher.
And although Apple’s privacy policy for iOS devices (which includes iPads equipped with 3G …
The other day I received a package, or I should say what in hindsight seems a waste of one: a large box, inside which lay a jumbo-sized cardboard egg, from within which I plucked a tiny rectangular piece of colored paper slightly larger than a business card. On the card, a picture of an iPhone, a greenish tongue of flame, and the words …
Here’s a 7-inch Android tablet from Archos for $90—that’s cheap!
The same tablet sells for around $140 elsewhere but Buy.com has decided, “Hey, you know what? We need a little excitement around here. Let’s sell this thing for $90 just to freak out the establishment.”

Over at TIME.com, my Technologizer column this week is about cloud storage: ways to keep photos, music, movies, and other files on the Internet, so they’re available from all your computers and gizmos. I cover a bunch of ways to get the job done, but none of them are purely cloud based. In every instance, hard drives attached locally to …
This is not what you think it is. It’s a talking robot, modeled on the human vocal system. And hey, check it out: it can sing! Kinda.
Wait, you say. Robots can already talk. Hell, even my laptop can talk, and I got it at Walmart.
