Sure, there were little stories like HP officially dropping the Touchpad’s price to $399, but for all extents and purposes there’s really only one bit of tablet news this week: the heating up of the lawsuit between Apple and Samsung. Apple managed to get an injunction from a German court blocking the sale of the […]

Why the heck would I go shoe shopping when I can buy a sexy pair of robot pants instead? I recently did some YouTube surfing to catch up on the latest development in robotics and was surprised to find how far we’ve come in the development of exoskeletons. As of 2007, Berkeley Bionics had created […]
In the inaugural On The Cheap, I told you how to get an iPad 2 for less than $105 via PowerMax. However, they just deal with Macs. What if you want to save on something else? Let’s check out some options. To figure pricing, I’m going to use that same iPad2 and the items I […]
If you didn’t get what this is about from the headline, then shame on you for not being geek enough. The much beloved Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is coming to iOS. Not the books, mind you — Hothead Games has created an actual interactive guide, complete with the biting humor of the original. Joel […]
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 […]

A great assemblage of hackers and crackers in both the black hat and white hat variety, you’re almost guaranteed some great stories (not to mention drama). This year, DefCon thinks of the future with DefCon Kids, their first ever meeting aimed at younger hackers (think Oliver […]
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 […]
Yesterday, I noted that HP’s Touchpad tablet was going on sale for the weekend. Today I wake up to see that internet retailer Woot.com has beaten Staples and HP’s $100 off by pricing the Touchpad at $379.99. For those unfamiliar with Woot, they’re one of the first of the deal-a-day sites. Bought out by Amazon […]
If there’s one thing I miss about the days before Google Navigation, it was tricking out my Tom Tom Navigator with custom voice prompts. Voices like Austin Powers, Sean Connery era James Bond, Darth Vader, and of course the obligatory KITT from Knight Rider were all the rage on the internet, from official paid downloads to […]
