GPS app Waze has been a matter of much discussion for the last few weeks. The Israeli startup has been around for a bit; I recall trying it when there were only a handful of users to pull traffic data from. Since then, the company has become a bit more popular, to the point that […]
Apple’s annual development conference kicked off with a hell of a keynote. One of the worst kept secrets was that Apple would be unveiling a new iOS 7. The latest version is the first helmed by Apple Design Guru Sir Jon Ives, and it shows. If you were a fan of skeuomorphism (the act of borrowing […]
Upon seeing the new Mac Pro, my first response is to say, “Hello, sexy.” Back in the 90s, I lusted after the Apple Cube, an attempt at changing how people looked at desktop computers. The Cube was a cube enclosure (thus the name) with an upgradable body that slid out (for a limited value of […]
“You know what we need? Yet another Android handset maker,” would be my sarcastic response to almost any company announcing plans to join the fray. Off the top of my head, you have HTC, LG, Kyocera, Motorola, Huawei, Pantech, and Sony all desperately scrounging for that wee bit of market share that Samsung isn’t dominating. HP’s […]
We here at Techcitement are waiting for our Slate 7 review unit to show up, but then again, so is everyone else. The tablet is suspiciously absent from major review sites. So, we can’t comment on the first (official) Android tablet from HP just yet. What we can note is that HP’s lower end pricing […]
Pop quiz: What was the last smartphone to be built in the United State of America? If you gave any answer other than “none,” you’re wrong. Back at the start of 2012, the New York Times detailed why so much tech manufacturing is based out of China, which basically boils down to infrastructure. Odds are […]
In what may be an identity thief’s wet dream, an ad agency has created a Pepsi machine that dispenses cans in exchange for Facebook likes. Did you catch the sinister, Orwellian note to the end of that video? And thanks to this new way of sampling we know exactly who liked, tried, and enjoyed an ice […]
Interested in Microsoft’s SurfaceRT or Surface Pro tablets, but not willing to pay the premium prices of $599 and $899, respectively? On the off chance that you’re registered for the 2013 Microsoft TechEd conference in New Orleans, then you’re in luck. The Redmond-based computer giant has slashed prices for attendees with full conference passes. The […]
The coming month is a busy one for Apple. June traditionally brings new product announcements. The company has been making sure to stay in the public eye, opening the D11 conference with teasing about new products in the pipe, a redesign of iOS by Jon Ives, and a nice slam at Google Glass. What there […]
In what is likely a strong contender for the worst kept secret ever, Microsoft has announced the first major revision of Windows 8. Gone is the internal “Blue” codename and avoided is the boring SP naming of old. Instead, it’s time to meet Windows 8.1. Those hoping that Microsoft would see the error of 8 […]
