I’ve been petty rough on Facebook’s Android messaging in the past, but it looks like things may be about to change. Courtesy of the developers from group messaging app Beluga, which Facebook acquired in March, Facebook has released a new dedicated messaging app for Android and iOS today. The app has more in common with […]
Hollywood takes a lot of flack these days for 3D movies. The 3D effect is irrelevant to most viewers at best and actively detrimental to the experience at worst. In exchange, theaters increase ticket prices from the usually ridiculous to the simply outrageous. Admittedly, I’m the first to agree with these complaints. I saw Harry […]
HP’s Touchpad hasn’t exactly gotten off to a great start. Reviews have been less than enthusiastic, with comparisons widely made to the iPad of last year, rather than this year’s iPad2. The hardware is too bulky, the software too buggy before this week’s update, and the lack of apps just appalling. Last week’s $100 price […]
Let’s face it, the landline is dying. We all have cellphones, and every day fewer people feel the need to pay for a landline phone that no one ever calls them on anyway. Unfortunately, cell phone reception indoors isn’t always the best. Besides, wandering around your house talking on your cellphone seems like a waste […]
Wi-Ex’s zBoost provides a direct solution for a straightforward problem. If you have bad cellphone reception, zBoost makes it better. I took a look at the METRO model for apartment dwellers, but Wi-Ex also offers the similar SOHO if you live in a larger home. Setup is a breeze. Attach your antenna to a window […]

Voice of Objectivity is an ongoing column meant to temper the tendency of the Techcited to run away with the most exciting or controversial ideas in technology’s near future. The opinions presented here do not necessarily represent the views of Techcitement or this writer. Someone’s got to keep a cool head around here. I guess […]
Veebeam starts with a simple yet elegant concept. There’s content on your computer. You want it on your TV. You don’t want wires running all over your house, and Veebeam claims to help you with that desire. Unfortunately, Veebeam’s execution leaves a lot to be desired. Veebeam comes with a USB device for your computer […]
We’ve been patient. Really, we have. But seriously, can Android users have a decent Facebook app already?
Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer? Jeremy Goldstone is off geeking out at San Diego Comic-Con, […]
