We’ve all oohed and aahed over the new iPhone. All that’s left is making fun of Apple’s sales pitch. That means it’s time for another banned iPhone promo from the hilarious John Elrick and company, whose banned iProduct promos have been going strong for two and a half years now. I’m not about to be […]
Former front man of musical group Golden Silvers, Gwilym Gold, has something new in store for listeners on his debut solo album. Tender Metal features seven moody electronic pop music tracks that slowly evolve, each time one is played. Obviously, this is only made possible by distributing the music digitally for playback with special software, […]
On Sunday night, the prestigious Hugo Awards were held in Chicago, recognizing excellence in science fiction. Realizing that we live in the future, the powers that be decided to air the awards ceremony live on the internet through Ustream so anyone in the world with an internet connection could see the awards as they happen.

Late last week, Google announced an Easter Egg for its main search page (announcing it makes it less of an Easter Egg, but whatever) by adding a random search spinner when a user hovers over the search engine’s “I’m feeling lucky” button. “I’m Feeling Artistic” leads to the Google Art Project, “I’m Feeling Playful” leads […]

Having just finished reading David Pierce’s first impressions on using Windows 8, I’m compelled to write my own rebuttal. Like Mr. Pierce, I’m primarily a Mac user, though certainly also comfortable using Windows. I have no doubt I’ll install a copy of Windows 8 on at least one of my home computers when it’s released, […]
Last night at Lenovo’s 20th anniversary celebration, Lenovo introduced the ThinkPad Tablet 2, the ThinkPad T430u, and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. I had the opportunity to go hands on with all of these products, and to put it lightly, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a ThinkPad user’s wet dream. The X1 Carbon has a 14-inch […]
Lenovo’s ThinkPad line has always been geared towards business users on the go. In the post-PC (PC plus?) era, that has meant adding a tablet to the ThinkPad family. The ThinkPad Tablet was a bit of an odd fit for the role, though. It ran Android, not Windows, which meant no access to the Office […]

This development was at the very least surprising, and at most, a direct attack on the companies who […]
In an announcement on the official Google blog, the company announced Friday its plan to kill Google Listen and immediately removed the long-suffering podcast app from Google Play search results.
