PayPal has long been the standard in sending money electronically between two people. The e-commerce business has also been a stalwart in the SMB website market for accepting credit cards, and PayPal makes it easy for non-profits to accept donations from members. However, PayPal’s user interface has been the same for years and the company [...]

One of the big perks about my new hometown, Houston, is that it’s one of the select few cities where Sprint’s high speed LTE network has been rolled out. This replaces the original high-speed WiMax network, largely spanked by AT&T and Verizon’s LTE networks. Heck, in some cases T-Mobile’s HSPA+ has beaten Sprint’s WiMax, and [...]

My friends like to joke that they’re bitter because it’s the 21st century and we don’t have our jetpacks.

None, however, seemed to get as much attention as that first model. We at [...]

Microsoft is making it a habit to surprise me when it comes to Windows Phones. After years of frustration with the power user-centric Windows Mobile OS, Microsoft managed to put out a viable, consumer-based smartphone operating system aimed at the general public. Indeed, the tile system used in the OS has proven popular enough that [...]

While Techcitement has given a glowing, if quick, review to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one feature we only touched on is the operating system. Because I’ve been shopping around for a new operating system ever since HP decided to ditch the phone business, this is a good time to put Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream [...]
