One little thing I’ve always wondered about was at what times do people hit the digital waves the most? There’s been plenty of studies and surveys looking at the desktop side of things. But what about mobile? If the mobile is truly “always on” and always there, is there any real peak? According to Ground Truth’s latest April survey, there is. Specifically, mobile data junkies hit peak usage between the hours of 7-9pm. I honestly would have...

You know, I’ve always wanted to travel the world, see the sights, and meet new people. Maybe, just maybe I’ll take a pitstop in NZ sometime around 2020. The reason? Fiber. Last year, the NZ government set up a plan that will see roughly NZ$1.5 billion invested in a country-wide fiber rollout.

Now, instead of having physical bodies yelling at me to put my coat on, I can have a net nanny coat hanger do it for me. If you haven’t got it by now, the coat hanger is connected to the internet...

Oh the irony. Apple today took the wraps off of a new HTML 5 & Web Standards page, showing off to devs and end users alike what HTML 5 and other bleeding edge web standards are capable of. Only problem — this “openness” is limited (artificially) to only Apple’s Safari browser. Now I know for a fact the latest betas of Chrome and Firefox can do at least half the stuff in the demos. But I digress. For Safari users, head on over to the HTML 5...
