For only the third time during his presidency so far, President Obama expects to veto upcoming legislation when he strikes down a bill that would otherwise dismantle the net neutrality provisions adopted by the FCC last year. The bill at the crux of the issue is Senate Journal Resolution 6, which states Congress disapproves of […]
I’m pretty fanatical about running. It’s something I haven’t wanted to admit about myself, but when I look at the fact that I’ve been running every day for the past four or five years, I have to admit that somewhere in there, I became fanatical. I run outside, quite frankly because it’s free. However, because […]
I’m sure you know the details, but I’ll briefly go over them just in case you don’t. IBM recently named Virginia Rometty as their new CEO. She’s been with the company since 1981 when she was hired as an engineer. For the last 30 years, she’s been using that big beautiful brain of hers, her […]
When David Carnoy, an executive editor over at CNET, asked an official Apple Genius for help with his iPhone’s battery life, I don’t think he was prepared for their answer: turn it off to save your battery. I’m not making this up. Apparently, the official Apple Store technicians (referred to as Geniuses) say that leaving […]

These two plants produce approximately 60 percent of their products. (A third plant in Malaysia is unaffected by the floods.) Seagate has two Thailand […]
Baby Panda’s New Home is brilliant! A little silly, yes, but also brilliant. I am an animal lover and defender through and through. I get it from my father who takes short rests from counting his money, working too much, yelling at people on the phone, and giving me a hard time, to spoil and smother […]
We’re fairly fond of Samsung here at Techcitement. They make good products, are kind enough to send us review units, and invite us to events. However, what kind of blog would we be if we did not point out when companies we like do something stupid? No, we’re not talking about Ch@tOn, Samsung’s addition to […]
Back to the Future 2 has become the litmus test for whether or not we’ve actually entered “the future.” It looks like we may be one step closer to entering that reality — a team in France has made a hoverboard. That said, the device doesn’t have “the POW-ah” to float more than 2cm off the […]
Google “Bill Gates is Evil” and you get a whole lot of results going over all the horrible, terrible things that Gates has done. People don’t like his business practices, his public persona, or his products. Fine, but I personally think evil is oversimplifying. The concept of “this businessman is BAD and everything he […]
