Forrester Research has a depressing summary of international privacy protections for data stored in a cloud service like Mozy, Google Docs or Dropbox. (It’s a clever graphic done up as a “data protection heat map.”) The worst countries to live in, if you value your digital secrets, are marked with an …
In this age of DVRs and on-demand video, only a few things stand out as appointment television for me. Mad Men is one and The Amazing Race is another (you cannot shame me on that, so don’t even try). But, for the last three or four years, the one show I have to be home for no matter what has been The Venture Bros. The Adult Swim cartoon …
As I sit on my couch and watch Season 1 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars I’m reminded why I love this fabled franchise.

And that’s weird because I thought Pedro & Me was a heart-rending portrait of his friendship with his former Real World housemate, enjoyed his Barry Ween: Boy Genius series as manic and madcap fun and dug the depth he showed on his underappreciated Vertigo series Caper. I figured he …
This is bizarre. Clearwire is positioning its iSpot 4G hotspot device towards owners of portable Apple products. The iSpot costs $100 regularly, though it’s on sale today for $29. There’s no two-year contract needed and service costs just $25 per month as long as you’re in a Clear 4G coverage area.
The press release says “The iSpot …
Sharp, the one time maker of the now defunct KIN and Sidekick brands, has declared it will bring to market a smartphone with a 3D panel that doesn’t require glasses by year’s end. It will likely have a 3D camera in tow, too. But will it be any better than the display on the Nintendo 3DS? And will it be any better than the faux 3D …
Less than 48 hours after the United Arab Emirates announced they would begin banning BlackBerry service on October 11 comes word from it’s neighbor to the west that they, too, would be banning BlackBerry service but sooner rather than later.
The Communications and Information Technology Commission of Saudi Arabia threw the …
