Hewlett Packard has unveiled its updated line of Envy notebooks, with the big draw being the 14-inch Envy 14 priced at just under $1,000. The computer measures an inch thick and weighs 4.4 pounds, which is pretty good for a machine with a 14-inch screen.
It’s actually a 14.5-inch screen for those of you keeping score, and HP is …
If the iPad’s lack of Flash support has kept you from shelling out the $500+ to join the whole tablet movement but you’re still intrigued by the idea nonetheless, you may want to check out the prototype Android tablets that Adobe has been showing off at the Web 2.0 Expo recently.
Perhaps most impressive, aside from being able to …

Welcome to ‘Zombie of the Week,’ folks, where each week we’ll present you with a different brain-eating member of the undead that has captured our fancy. There is no methodology to our Zombie Awesomeness meter, just our own piqued interests. Got a zombie we should see? Comment below. No zombie is too small, too short-lived, or too …
Microsoft is making bold strides to change their image and listen to customer’s needs and wants. And you can tell by their marketing and advertising campaigns from the last couple of years. (I loved the Seinfeld and Gates spots, BTW.) The concept is nothing new, of course. But I have to believe that for a project like KIN, they had to …
It seems pretty fitting that a year of personal triumph for Roger Ebert should include being honored as the Webby Awards’ Person of the Year.
His recent thoughts on video games aside, Ebert has used the Internet to supplement the loss of his voice, transforming a blog and a Twitter account into something more than a just …
Here is the short version of what might end up being a very long pull list this week. As I mentioned yesterday DC is coming very strong with its heaviest hitters. Brains are on the menu as well.
