Read SD cards on your iPhon ewith “ZoomIt”
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 2:47 pm
One of the chief complaints I see with certain Apple laptops is the lack of more ports. The SD port in particular was a big one until Apple recently added them to the Macbook Pros. But an iPhone? The makers of "ZoomIt" seem to think the iPhone platform is a perfect fit for their services. In order to get the full experience, you'll need to pick up both the iPhone ZoomIt app and ZoomIt SD card adapter that attaches itself to the phone. Once plugged in, users can transfer over photos from the ...

The state of online content for the Olympics in the digital age: 2 live streams and plenty of nothing…

Posted February 9th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
You know, it's getting to the point now where writing about the absurd and asinine decisions by media executives just isn't fun anymore. Instead, anger and frustration have largely taken over, removing some of that childish joy I used to get. So who's done it this time? NBC. No, this isn't a repeat of the Conan O'Brian/Jay Leno fluster cluck that radiated throughout media world last month. This time it involves something a bigger than a simple TV show. It involves the Olympics.
The last...

Microsoft restricting Xbox 360 units from Army because the sale wouldn’t give them enough money?

If there were anything that would make Uncle Sam angry, blatant ignorance and greed when lives are at stake is probably up near the top. Now keep the upcoming text light hearted as this hasn't been confirmed in any way by Microsoft (as if they'd admit blocking the military...).
The military is growing increasingly digital these days. With that growing reliance on digital services and applications naturally comes the increased need for more and more personal computers. You typical military...

Shocker: Music labels site slowing sales growth after iTunes
variable raised pricing scheme.

Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
You know, sometimes I wish I could reach through my monitor and punch the select few "media moguls" who run the record companies in the throat. Why the graphic outrage? It isn't so much outrage as it is "see, I told you so". During Warner Music Group's earnings call today, the company sited slowed sales growth since variable raised prices hit iTunes. I crossed out the "variable" as it's damn near impossible to find a $0.69 song, with most either staying at $0.99 or being bumped up to $1.29. ...

Android sorrows: Adobe Flash to only be supported on 2.1 and above. Dev community to remedy situation in 3..2..
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 10:55 am
Well this is certainly disappointing news:
The much talked about Adobe Flash 10.1 which is slated to drop in the near future on a bevy of mobile devices, will at least in the Android world, leave a fair chunk of users out in the cold. If you're Android device is running on 2.0 or lower, you will not gain Flash support! The reasoning behind this is some sort of "software-level access" that only 2.1 and future updates will include.
Any developers out there please correct me if I'm wrong,...

New Macbook Pros go on to live another day in secrecy. Today is reserved for Valentines Day themed accessories and Aperture 3.

Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 9:59 am
Looks like the validity of yesterday's Best Buy internal screenshot is still in question. After several painstaking hours of hitting the refresh button over, and over again, the Apple Store is finally back up -- without any new hardware.
No, folks. It seems the reason for the global downtime was for Aperture 3 and -- Valentines Day themed accessores. Super. For the professionals out there, I'm sure this new Aperture release is a big deal. And believe me, I'm happy for ya. But I can't he...

IT departments of the world: today is your day. While you aren't always the most technologically savvy -- trust me, this is a fact -- or on top of the latest and greatest in gadget world, you do at least appreciate a good gadget related tool when you see it. So what would you say after seeing a new 2.5" 600GB enterprise grade hard drive from Seagate spinning at a harmonious 10,000RPM's?
I myself would say: "How much?" and "Where can I get one?". Unfortunately for you and I, the general p...

Waze launches Valentines Day treasure hunt. Real prizes such as Movie date for 2 and chocolate being given.

Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 8:14 am
I just received an email from Dan of Waze and decided that this little tidbit was worth sharing.
I've covered Waze before. If you still don't know, Waze is a GPS/navigation/map app that plays on user generated content and social networking. By driving around and updating Waze's database, users have the chance of winning prizes as they rack up points after "driving over" various icons spread around on the Waze's maps.
Now that the preliminary chit chat is over, let's get to it, shall we...

“Intuitive UI” learns how you use your Android device, adjust homescreen accordingly.
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 6:34 am
Intelligent apps and gadgets are on the cusp of becoming "the next big thing". Being "intelligent" is sort of tied into a form of AI, though even now our gadgets and electronics are still quite a ways from such things. But just because they aren't as forward thinking or rational as true AI enabled devices, intelligent devices are here right now.
One such option is found in "Intuitive UI", a homescreen replacement for Android users. It is this UK-based company, Intuitive User Interfaces, ...

The iPhone home theater in a box.

Posted February 9th, 2010 at 6:21 am
If you're on a tight budget (and don't kid me, we've all been there), normal everyday activities such as going to the movie theater become nothing more than a dream. For without the required paper money, they won't let you in. Finding yourself in this predicament is an unfortunate one for sure. It's at down times like these, creativity flourishes as people have more time to devote to hobbies or side projects. In lieu of the aforementioned words, why not take it upon yourself to mercilessly...

Best Buy puts it’s “e-cycle” e-waste billboard where it’s mouth is…or something like that.
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 5:22 am
Looking for the latest display of electronics companies supporting more green and earth friendly practices? For such a display, one only has to look at a new ad that has cropped up in Times Square in New York City. Non other than Best Buy has erected an e-waste recycling ad that is actually constructed of "e-cycled" electronics as they put it.
I'm not a huge tree hugger by any means, but I can certainly appreciate and support not being overly wasteful. Slapping a huge ad in Times Square pr...

Google throws Nexus One owners a line, a much needed and welcome support line.
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 5:13 am
One of the biggest complaints end users had concerning the Nexus One can officially be crossed off of the list of "reasons not to buy" today. The announcement of the first (and only) Nexus One support hotline should be the sounding horn of relief for many agitated Nexus One owners who have found the answers and pleas help go pretty much unanswered until this point.
For interested parties, dialing (888) 48NEXUS (63987) between the hours of and 7:00 am – 10:00 pm PST from here on out will ...

The Samsung shakeable “TicToc” mp3 player knows what you want by how hard you shake.
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 1:32 am
I was at CES 2010, yet I didn't even notice this little gem in Samsung's booth miniature city. In the midst of pencil thin TV's, smartphones, and 3D everything, a little mp3 player that does nothing more than play some songs seems pretty unimportant.
And for the most part, it is. But there is something cool to be had to whomever purchases this little player. The built in accelerometer can change the music by shaking. "Big whoop" you say? How about this -- if you shake it slow, a slow son...

BlackBerry Application Suite Pro leaked!
by
Mike
Posted February 9th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Why would you want to pick up a copy of and install BlackBerry Application Suite on your Windows Mobile device? Well, if you wanted to give RIM's BlackBerry OS a try without jumping fully on board, this would be a way to do so. It's been quite awhile since the Application Suite was shown off on camera -- many months to be exact. At that time, RIM themselves mentioned that both BES and BIS versions were coming. See as how this leak is an unofficial release, the lack of a "complete" package is...

Oh geeze, I know what is going on gadget/gamers wish lists this year -- Crysis 2. Even though a good chunk of computers still can't run the visually demanding and sensory pleasing game, one of the co-devleopers of Crysis (Crytek) aren't sitting down, content with the still virtually unchallenged work.
Come this holiday season, Crysis will finally be unseated as "the" game to benchmark. It's been a wonderful couple of years. Heck, besides being a great all around game to play and look at,...
