A Very WebOS Wednesday
HP has sure as heck had a busy week. The Touchpad, not even two weeks old, has been taking a bit of a hit from reviewers for essentially not being a good enough response to the iPad2 (which makes sense, as it was a response to the original iPad). On Monday, the senior VP of […]
Haptic Feedback Asks Can You Feel Me Now?
Every touchscreen smartphone user has experienced it by now: the sudden realization that it’s impossible to manually dial a number without looking at the display.

So Glad I Turned Off Email Notifications In Google+
Google+ had its first major glitch on Saturday, and many users learned why Google is calling its slow, ongoing roll-out of the service a “field trial”. It seems even Google can run out of hard drive space, and Google+’s early high levels of activity surprised the search giant. It seems that the disk that was […]
A Users’ Users Guide for Google+
