At the mere mentioning of the word “satellite phone” some of you may start to cringe and remember a failed attempt at what looked good on paper. Instead of having to deal with wireless towers sucking up physical space, why not just launch some more junk in to space to meet our wireless communication needs.

Everyone has been getting all hot and bothered lately about Apple’s next UI overhaul. What will it look like? Well, since iTunes 7 came out with a darker look, you have probably been staring at the next Apple OS UI and didn’t even know it. Apple loves simplicity, eye candy, and used to cherish uniformity. However, with the darker look in iTunes 7/8 and now the new iLife ‘09 suite, Apple seems to either be going through a slow transition as to not shock us all at once, or they themselves don’t even know what they want to do, like they’re stuck between Aqua and “Marble”. All of this uncertainty on UI styles brings up the question: Why one style? Come inside for a look at several styles OS X has taken and the possibility of what future renditions hold…

Apple’s Push notifications while grossly past due from their original due date of last year, were at least delayed for good reason. At the iPhone OS 3.0 preview, Apple stated the delay was because of “developers suggesting ideas and methods of implementing the push service that they had never thought of”, which in return required a complete re-write of the service, hence the massive delay. But the real question is why does Apple refuse to bring by far the most requested and undoubtedly most important feature, background processes, to the iPhone platform?

When you hear the words “auto industry” in this day and age, it is hard to think of a properous and youthful market. One that is expanding and on the leading edge of automotive technology. However, we all know that the U.S. auto industry is anything but “leading edge” or prosperous. Unfortunately, they aren’t the only market to start feeling the pinch of not only economic times, but also the technological times as technology and digitized goods become more and more a part of our daily lives. So what area of the market has been thrust into the spotlight claiming to be in the most dire need of help and a solution…the newspaper industry…

Terms of service are becoming increasingly restrictive as well as increasingly cryptic. What exactly can you do with your own property/services? What can big corporations do with that data?

When one thinks of an “over night success” or a company or product that has become so big, so ingrained in our everyday lives that it begins to be used as a verb, you almost take for granted said service. The service I’m talking about is YouTube. While it has only been around a few short years, YouTube has gone from a niche site on the web to an online video powerhouse with millions upon million of users and videos. What would happen if all of a sudden that resource was gone?

Do you cherish the internet? See it as the portal to the world? Do you download gigs of data everyday? Every week? Every month? Are you downloads pirated content or legitimate stuff? The RIAA or “the almighty satan” as known by most never really gave up on tracking down individuals. No, instead they went behind the scenes and started coaxing ISP’s to become their new roommates. Why waste time and money suing a single person when you can have someone else waste their time and and money while you sit back and simply collect the lawsuit winnings when everything is said and done?

Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.  California being the environmentally conscious state that it is, is taking a rather drastic and ridiculous step.  They are proposing banning the sale of certain “inefficient TV’s, mainly Plasma and LCD TV’s.  The strain on California’s power grid is apparently too much and they are looking for every [...]

If you are an all around music nut, composer, or artist, you will surely appreciate this. Digital pianos bring a level of complexity and sound that no analog piano could ever keep with. Sure the actual piano sound may sound better than the digital version, but this gap is quickly shrinking. What digital pianos really shine at is making a one man band one man orchestra. Now a single human being can sound like hundreds in a full symphony. Taking the digital piano and evolving it further, the Baby Grand Master is a modern disc jokeys dream.

If you are thinking to yourself the “race” to create the most absurd and “out there” USB drive is anywhere close to nearing an end, you my friend would be dead wrong. Why would someone want to carry around a lifeless, unoriginal, and downright guaranteed to lose typical flash drive when you could instead be toting around the USB Rubber Chicken?

Though this isn’t gadget related, it is undoubtedly cool. The human body while certainly a walking vessel full of miniture miracles or feats of science happening every second, is still limited in its abilites. For example, our eyes are weak.
