Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt certainly doesn’t lack confidence. Last night, Schmidt made the assertion to a large room full of advertisers that internet video doesn’t need to concern itself with supplanting standard television watching because he says, “That’s already happened.” Having recently surpassed the one billionth unique visitor landmark, YouTube has a reason to […]
If you’ve spent more than 10 seconds on YouTube, you know it’s home to some of the worst trolls the internet has to offer. Seriously, haters are like a cottage industry over there. This morning, Isabel Fay and the rest of the folks at Clever Pie released “Thank You, Hater!,” a response to trolls in […]
Somehow I missed the news in May that Yahoo had sold the Delicious brand to YouTube founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen. After Sunday’s New York Times article on their plans for the once-preeminent online bookmarking service, I’m positively stoked.

Confession: When Techcitement saw the Drop being demoed at a recent event, we almost walked right past it. A connected scale? Big deal. Except the Drop is more than a scale that shows results on your tablet (iOS only for now, Android coming soon). The goal with Drop isn’t just connectivity, but contextual awareness. You […]
Way back in 2011, Techcitement got to run the ScanSnap S1100 through the paces. We were impressed and it has come in handy for sudden scan needs. Except as you all know, tech doesn’t sit still. What has the company been up to since? For one thing, there’s the impressive looking update to the S1100, as […]
Sprint hosted a “Take the Edge” off event in New York City the other day. There wasn’t too much mystery, especially when one got there and saw the Sharp logo all over the place. As predicted by almost every website, the new Sharp/Sprint device was a no-bezel device dubbed the Sharp Aquos Crystal. You might […]
