The battle between Microsoft and Google has extended into nearly every realm, encompassing a variety of services, especially their smartphone operating systems. Heating the fight up even more is Google’s decision to stop supporting Microsoft’s Exchange standard for Gmail on Windows Phone 8, calling for the usage of the more universal CardDAV and CalDAV protocols […]
The NRA has shamelessly released an iOS app almost a month after the Newtown massacre and in opposition to Wayne LaPierre’s very own words. Drowning in irony thicker than maple syrup, the aforementioned CEO personifies the idiom “do as I say, not as I do” by creating a gun-oriented video game. My problem isn’t with the blatant hypocrisy […]
Griffin announces the PowerDock 5, a solution for simultaneously charging up to five of your favorite iOS devices (even if all five are iPads in bulky cases). The toaster-like platform features adjustable plastic dividers and separate USB charging cables to attach to each device. The PowerDock should be available by Spring 2013, with a retail […]
I confess that I didn’t expect today’s Apple Press event to surprise me. The whole world expected an iPad Mini and new Macbook. We even heard that there would be a new version of iBooks, Apple’s eReading app. What I don’t think many of us expected was desktop refreshes and yet another new iPad. Let’s […]
The current version of Apple’s video chat solution, FaceTime, only works over WiFi. This is allegedly to spare cell networks the beating video calls would give them.

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, […]
Facebook has updated its iOS app today to brand new version 5.0, which will hopefully address a top concern of users that the app has been clunky and slow. Facebook Inc. launched the app via the iTunes App Store, with few listed improvements, but one major change: the app has been rebuilt from the ground […]
Every night at 3:15 AM Eastern, Amazon gives away a free paid app through its Amazon app store. I let you know if today’s app is useful or more clutter in your app drawer that just plain isn’t worth downloading. Today’s free app of the day is Flick Kick Rugby, a game in which you […]
RIM (Research in Motion) is dying. That’s been evident since the release of the iPhone by Apple all the way back in 2007. Instead of immediately going to work on a new platform to compete with the iOS enemy, RIM insisted physical keyboards were the way to go and that touchscreens were a fad. Even […]
