SnApp Judgments: Swiftkey X
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, […]
Voice of Subjectivity: I Need Spotify!
There is no perfect streaming music service yet. But for me, Spotify comes awfully close.
Voice of Objectivity: Who Needs Spotify?

The world of tablets these days is full of competitors with just one thought in mind, beating the iPad2. Samsung took one look at the latest iPad and sent their efforts back to the drawing board.

Olde Tyme Techcitement: The Pentium 4 Processor Will Rock Your World
Time for Olde Tyme Techcitement, when we take a look back at technology relics.
