Segues: Social Networks’ Eyes Are Watching You
Each Segues column starts with something tech-related before quickly branching out from there into a tangentially related thread. These articles are born from my thought and speech patterns that regularly contain quickfire transitions. For one of my birthdays, a friend made me a crown that said “King of the Segues”. Actually, it said “King of […]
Wherein We Pontificate About the Blackberry Playbook and Go Hands On
Techcitement recently questioned the relevance of RIM these days, and we’re not the only ones. RIM’s last quarterly earnings were quite lower than expected, and their stock dipped significantly. Although it appears to be climbing slowly now (but still not anywhere near past prices), maybe because the lower stock is a good deal – I’m […]

Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful or just more clutter in your app drawer?

Embracing the current 3D trend, the Thrill has dual 5MP cameras for 3D shots and glasses free 3D that Does Not Suck. The 720p HD playback we saw was gorgeous, and I just […]
Apple Service Centers Still Turning Away Smokers
A Facebook friend posted this on his wall yesterday, and at first I didn’t believe it. Apple is refusing to fix smokers’ computers. Seriously. Something I just learned: Apple will refuse to repair your Mac if anybody in your home or office has smoked in its presence. When asked for details about his house guest’s […]
MIT Makes Real-Time Hologram, Use Wrong Star Wars Reference
[yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LW8wgmfpTE’] As reported at NewScientist, smart-type people at MIT have made a huge leap in the possibility of real-time holograms. The MIT folks use, among other things, a hacked Kinect, proving once again that the Xbox 360’s controllerless controller is wasted on dance games. This is rather amazing technology. It’s extremely early, but it’s […]
Can HR Ever Be Techciting? ADP Hopes So
Odds are that by the time you read the words “Human Resources”, your attention has already moved elsewhere. However, despite the relative disinterest and disdain that some have for HR Departments, you can’t really ignore that HR is a billion dollar industry.

PriceAdvice, the New Place to Buy Used Stuff
Yesterday saw the launch of the brand new startup PriceAdvice, which has a unique twist on the concept of deal hunting. Not only does the self-proclaimed “virtual blue book” site give you an overview of what the typical price range is on the device you’re looking for by combining information from a variety of different […]
Firefox 5 – What’s New And Is It Worth The Number Change?
Yesterday, the Mozilla Project folks began pushing Firefox 5 out as an automatic update to Firefox 4 users. The first thing that ran through my mind, and surely many others’ minds too, was “Huh? Why are they upgrading me to an entirely new release via their auto-updater?” Traditionally, if you ran Firefox, you would never […]
Where’d My Event Go? From Smartphone To Just A Phone
I’ve published several stories today referencing last night’s gdgt meetup event here in New York. So far, however, I have yet to post any video or photographic evidence that I was actually there. So here it is, my documentation of going to this exciting venue: That’s it. My photo of the line is all that […]
