I’m a big fan of file syncing service SugarSync. The 5 GB of free online storage had me happy from day one. Being able to easily send files of any size to others via email, even if they don’t use the service, has been invaluable. And the fact that, unlike competitor Dropbox, SugarSync allows me […]
All my life, I’ve had trouble with tinnitus in both ears. It’s getting worse as I get older, so much so that I often have considerable trouble sleeping. When I got my fancy Android phone last year, I started looking for a noise generating solution in the Android Market. Enter Lightning Bug, an app from […]
I just finished reading an editorial put out by ZDNet where the author expresses his opinion that Apple’s new “iCloud” announcement marks Apple’s attempt at making the PC take a back-seat to doing things over the Internet, without regard to which platform is used to make the connection.

It’s clear from the moment you see the Start Screen that the Windows Phone 7 team was involved in the new design. I say “Start Screen” because […]
Twitter has announced on their blog a brand new Follow Button. Instead of the square button we’re all used to seeing with a simple link to a user’s Twitter page, Twitter will serve up a chicklet that leads to a special page with the user’s last few tweets, along with a brief list of followers […]
There’s been a lot of recent talk about the virus MacDefender, a bit of clever Malware for MacOS that depends on the user installing it. There was a lot of “See, we told you so” from the pundits who have warned for ages that the wider adoption of MacOS would make it a bigger target […]
Unless you’ve been chilling under a rock, you probably caught that Google announced the new Google Wallet. Using an NFC chip and MasterCard’s PayPass system (the one they’ve been slowly rolling out here in NY for ages), you can use your phone to pay for things.
