Marvel Comics announced they were making some changes to their digital initiative last week, introducing a new type of online comic format they’re calling Infinite Comics. This past weekend, I attended WonderCon in Anaheim and checked out the first Infinite Comics story, a new Nova story from writer Mark Waid and penciller Stuart Immonen. Somehow, the […]
Last Friday was a monumental day in my life. As an ardent anti-Apple advocate since my purchase of a second generation iPod touch way back in 2008, I have declared Apple products overpriced, showy, and too locked-down. I believed iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks were for the yuppies of the world, the hipsters, and those who […]
My last experience with a Lenovo tablet left something to be desired. Fortunately, it seems like the IdeaPad K1 was far from the best the PC manufacturer could manage. The company’s business-focused ThinkPad line held something far better. Before anything else, I should say that my favorite feature of this tablet is the name. That’s […]
The statistics-mongers at IDC have some interesting news about the last quarter of 2011. It seems that the company that redefined the tablet market and made it something people actually want dove down to a mere 54.7 percent of shipped tablets. IDC claims Apple’s dip is largely due to the debut of last holiday’s hot […]
Apple made an announcement (something to do with a pad of some sort) yesterday, and while we’re still working on serious coverage, here are two not-so-serious pieces about it. First is from The Onion, which is completely on-point as always: This Article Generating Thousands Of Dollars In Ad Revenue Simply By Mentioning New iPad SAN […]
The Spectrum Wars continue, folks. Remember how AT&T wanted to purchase T-Mobile? That was about more than market dominance. It was about spectrum. For those not in the know, there’s a limited amount of wireless frequency available for use. The FCC licenses out publicly available spectrum, but there have been warning signs of an […]
I have a confession to make: I didn’t cover HP’s highly disappointing earnings statement because I thought you guys might be sick of hearing me go on about them. Considering the recent mismanagement and musical CEO games being played there, it’s not too much of a surprise that earnings are lower than usual but a […]
Back when Toshiba first released the Toshiba Thrive we had high hopes. Sadly, reception was not as hot. Had they released it prior to the thinner, lighter iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy 10, they might have had a shot. It looks like they thought so too because PC World has discovered the Toshiba Thrive 7.7 […]
It’s finally official. Apple sends out invitations today for its latest iPad launch event. The shindig will be held in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, on Wednesday, March 7. Beyond that, Apple withholds any details, preferring to preserve the element of surprise. Leaked photographs of various components claimed to […]
My wife received an iPad 2 as a gift in September and loves it, but my kids know how to use it better than she does. She uses the Gmail app, Safari, and that’s pretty much it. So, why are there about 150 more apps on the iPad? To keep the kids occupied of course. […]
