Upcoming Symbian S^3 to take Nokia down the road of Palm? [Update 2]

Nokia fans, your future isn’t looking too great. At least, that’s the gist I get after reading Mobile-Review’s review of Symbian S^3, the next generation in the Symbian OS platform.

Countless Symbian die-hards are hoping for something revolutionary and truly innovative to challenge the likes of Android, Apple, RIM, and Microsoft. Unfortunately from what I’m seeing, it’s nothing more than some lipstick and a few other minor tweaks here and there. Certainly nothing that is screaming out to me “BUY IT NOW!”

LimeRa1n promises to jailbreak iPhone 3.1.3 wide open

You could say that I have a problem with authority. It’s not so much the “authority” part as much as it is the morons who all too often find themselves being given important roles in society. Such rants and raves are for another day however, as currently it’s late, and I have to work in the morning (yuck)! There are more important fish to fry…

This is how you say “sorry”: McAfee reimbursing victims or recent svchost.exe snafu, extending services additional two years.

For all of the bitching that people partake of concerning various flips and flops in the tech world, we rarely hear of a follow-up as to what the company in question is doing to things right. Last week, McAfee had a bad week. An update was somehow cleared for public consumption packing a nasty bug — it incorrectly identified svchost.exe (a critical windows process) as a virus, thus deleting it and causing a repeating boot loop. Uh-oh…

Comcast is the worst company in America. [2010 Poll]

If you happen to care for your general rights in this little thing we call life, you may have stopped by Consumerist once or twice. Run by the same folks behind Consumer Reports, the Consumerist focuses more on personal acts of wrong by any and all corporate entities directed at consumers.

Over the last few weeks, company after company has been knocked out of the running with only one — Comcast — living ’til the end…

Re-live the glory days with the NES Controller Flash Drive

The NES was truly a staple of gaming back in the day. While other systems were languishing in averageness and confusion, the Nintendo console came along and caused an explosion in the gaming scene. But those days are long gone.

Thankfully, the memories and functionality of that old gaming great don’t have to be. The NES Controller Flash Drive is a perfect example of how the old can become new again…

New Core i7 Macbook Pros take a queue from Nvidia, “designed to run hot”. 100 degrees Celsius!

We all joke/complain about Nvidia’s new Fermi-based cards for their power thirst and insane heat envelope, yet when you hear of the Macbook Pro hitting 100 degrees Celsius (average under load is 65-80 degrees Celsius), somehow it’s not quite as alarming to the mainstream media…

Getting cozy with the fishes. [Underwater hotel]

To some, dining in the exclusive underwater 12-seat restaurant at the Hilton Maldives Resort would have been enough. But for some, “enough” is never….enough.

In honor of the hotel’s fifth anniversary, the currently famous 12-person underwater restaurant is being transformed into a 2-person underwater uber exotic suite…
