Today is just like any other ordinary Wednesday save for the fact that the all new iPad 3 was announced. But even though the announcement was far from a surprise, and the iPad 3 itself has seen it’s final form more or less revealed, the hype and excitement around today’s event is as high as ever. The iPad 3 Tim opened up the iPad 3 unveiling by citing the iPad’s previous, runaway quarter of 15.4 million units sold (Q4 2011). Compared to actual PCs figures...
We’re pretty big users of Dropbox around these parts. There’s something about the cross-platform service that’s exceptionally easy and fun to use. Of course, the native wWindows and OS X apps also weigh heavily in our favoritism for Dropbox. But to some, there’s another lesser known service by the name of Box.

A blogger meet-up was scheduled last night and after a long trek through the Caesar’s Palace, we finally made it to the event. As we drank our beverages we were given a sneak peak at their new line of drives featuring Apple’s highly utilized Thunderbolt technology. A handful of companies had Thunderbolt hard drives announced and...
Today just a few hours before CES Unveiled kicks off the pre-CES festivities, Acer officially revealed plans for their own iCloud competitor, “AcerCloud”. Like iCloud, AcerCloud will connect all devices (desktop, tablet, smartphone) with a personal cloud and allow syncing of data between said devices.
