In the inaugural On The Cheap, I told you how to get an iPad 2 for less than $105 via PowerMax. However, they just deal with Macs. What if you want to save on something else? Let’s check out some options. To figure pricing, I’m going to use that same iPad2 and the items I […]
If you didn’t get what this is about from the headline, then shame on you for not being geek enough. The much beloved Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is coming to iOS. Not the books, mind you — Hothead Games has created an actual interactive guide, complete with the biting humor of the original. Joel […]
Another busy week for tablets, as the market segment just keeps heating up. From the industry leader at the moment, we have some great news. Apple’s iCloud and iWork with Cloud Support have gone into Beta for developers. No news on how magical it might be just yet. Then there was Monday’s release, pull, […]
Biophilia is an innate love for the natural world, supposed to be felt universally by humankind, per the Collins English Dictionary. For Icelandic singer Bjork, Biophilia is also the title of her seventh album, scheduled for release on September 26. Interestingly, Bjork isn’t content to release this work simply as a music CD.

Apple’s goal with the iPad line was to displace the netbook as your “third screen” (desktop/laptop, phone, netbook), but for it to remain a supplemental […]
On The Cheap is a feature where we investigate low-cost solutions to staying high tech. It comes out every two weeks. Like a Paycheck. Aren’t we clever? Would you like to own an iPad2 for less than $105? Caught your attention there? If you’re the sort of person who gets techcited, then you either hate […]
Guest article by Joan Weiner For fans of Google’s ebook site (are there any of you out there?), Google announced yesterday their release of an ebook reader device designed specifically to link to the Google eBookstore.
