David who? Here in the states, this Paris born DJ and music producer may not ring a lot of bells. I have to say that I love sampling music from all of the world on a daily basis. While I haven’t sat down and listened to any of David’s work, I have [...]

Well color me impressed. Apple, like any other businesses in the world, has a goal to make money first and foremost with all other priorities falling somewhere in behind. Whatever priority number 2 was is uncertain. But I can tell you that employee health and well being now occupies that spot. [...]

Clever isn’t quite the right word. Financially gifted? Perhaps. You’d have to have at least some spare cash to create such a costume as seen in the video above. Reko and John have officially created the *almost* most geeky Halloween costume. I highlight the “almost” because while two massive 40″ [...]

Taking gadgets, old gadgets in particular, and creating new forms of art, machinery, and all out geekery is something that when executed correctly results in utter beauty. In the case of this modded PowerMac G4 Bike, it may not be beautiful in the traditional sense, though the fact that it draws your gaze upon [...]

Those looking forward to a new storage format for OS X will be sorely disappointed. ZFS which was to be the successor to the current HFS+ sometime down the road appears to have been shelved indefinitely. As 9to5 Mac highlights a comment from John Gruber, this has been a long time coming. [...]

Don’t come here looking for an exact date relating to the day the iPhone is set free or a new U.S. carrier you can look forward to switching to as I don’t have that information. What I do have however is mounting evidence that AT&T’s iPhone reign is nearing the final curtain via reports [...]
Reports out of Cupertino are showing that Windows 7 junkies looking to have the latest and greatest dual-booting machine will have to wait until dear old Saint Nick pays them a visit. According to Apple, current versions of Boot Camp do not support Windows 7. Instead, dual-booting hopefuls will have to wait until [...]

While Nokia would like us to believe they own a plethora of the technologies that make the iPhone what it is, their latest lawsuit against Cupertino instead comes off looking more like a last ditch effort by a company who has failed to make anything exciting (save for the N900) at any point in recent [...]

Looking for cheep speed? The dv6t now with i7 quad-core chips means you can have just that. Making use of either 720QM or 820QM chips ensures the figurative cake that is always being had and eaten in hypothetical thoughts is yet again being eaten. Starting at $999, the HP dv6t looks like [...]

Current smartphones may suffer from laggy interfaces and stuttering multimedia performance because of weak internal hardware. Fret no more, put away those tissues and slap a smile on that pretty little mouth of yours as such experiences will soon be a thing of the past. The savior? ARM’s new Cortex A5 multi-core [...]
Oh the geek inside of me is giddy. News of quad-core mac’s are starting to trickle forth thanks to two new Macbook Pro model numbers referenced in the latest Snow Leopard 10.6.2 build seeded to devs. Such an update isn’t too far from reality as the last update bestowed upon these mobile workhorses was way back in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference. An update must be close if the Macbook Pro’s are to remain near the top of the heap. All fingers point towards Intel Clarksfield chips being integrated (read: Core i5/i7 chips) with better power management, increased performance, and the ability to kick any processor up a few notches when extra peeds are needed. Processors aren’t the only talk of the town though as out goes Nvidia in favor of ATI’s latest 4500 mobile GPU cards which should bring a rather nice increase to mobile graphics performance. It’ll be interesting to see how the use of ATI GPU’s affects the current power/battery saving scheme Apple has crafted by using both an integrated Nvidia 9400 GPU along with a dedicated Nvidia 9600GPU.
