I haven’t seen the hype machine on an Apple device this high since the original iPhone. If you took all the “leaks” and put them together on one device, or at least all the good ones, you’d have something really awesome. Unfortunately, that’s not going to happen. No matter what fairy dust they sprinkle... »
How Will Our Gadgets Evolve?
Here we are, at the beginning of 2010, and we’ve come a long way in the last 15 years. The question is, where do we go next? This year’s CES was somewhat of a dud, in my opinion. There were feature upgrades to a number of products, but nothing that seemed terribly original. 3D televisions... »
CES 2010 Thoughts
With this year’s CES wrapping up tomorrow, I thought I’d take a few minutes to point out a few things about the announced products. Not everything that was shown off will make it to market, and that’s probably for the best. There are too many eBook readers. Not only are there too many in general,... »

CES, which kicks off today in Las Vegas, is going to be rife with eBook readers of all shapes and sizes. The two most popular ones have already been released (Kindle and Nook) and seem to be selling very well. There are some early leaks that show a lot of variety in that segment... »
Apple’s next product announcement predictions
The 2010 MacWorld Expo is going to take place this year from February 11-13. Apple stated after last year’s Expo they would no longer formally be participating in this event, which in the past few years has been one of the key dates for new product announcements.

2010 Gadget Predictions
As 2009 winds to a close, I find myself wondering where we’ll be focusing our attention this time next year. So, here are a few prognostications. Cell phones iPhones will still be “the” phone to have, but there will be a large number of Android phones sold of varying types. The app space will also still... »
Google Chrome OS – The Future of Computing?
It’s not been very long since Google officially announced the creation of their PC operating sytem – Chrome OS. The naming of the OS is somewhat difficult to wrap my head around because they already have a web browser called Chrome. If they rename it Chrome Browser, maybe that’ll fix it for me, but... »
Google Latitude – Review
Google Latitude has been out for a while now. When it was initally released, I installed it on my work Blackberry, went through the menus and that was about it. I didn’t want to do any friend requests at the time for two main reasons: Privacy, and lack of interest from friends/family. Since I’ve been... »
Two minutes with Verizon’s Droid
I went in to a local Verizon Wireless store to check out the new Droid. You know, the one that’s the latest iPhone killer, etc etc. I must preface these few notes with the fact that the two display models didn’t work properly. The clerk said that their security device had shorted them out... »
Google Wave – Invited
I got my Google Wave invitation this morning. I clicked the link, verified my login, and got to the main screen, as seen below. The next step is to figure out what to do with it. Then get more people invited so collaboration can begin. »

An article recently written over at displaymate.com provides more evidence that the LCD industry is out to take your money away with gimmicky advertising. If you’d rather read the short and sweet version, head over to gizmodo.com and get the summary. Thanks to Matt for his article a few months ago breaking down the technology in... »
What has Apple done to improve the computing industry?
In the past few years, a few trends have emerged that I realized Apple is the company mostly responsible for. While they may not have invented the technology behind all of these items, they forced it upon the community with their laptops, desktops, PMPs, and phones. Successfully. Had they not taken the reins on... »
