Yeah, Apple wasn’t integral in Light Peak transfer technology
Posted on September 30, 2009 | No Comments
So Apple wasn't so integral in that whole Light Peak thing after all. Rumors that Apple was integral in the design Light Peak process seem to be false which could put a damper on Apple's plans to implement the technology in its new hardware.

Me hanging with Nate Lanxon and Randall B on TechVi… in 3D!
Posted on September 28, 2009 | No CommentsJust had a nice little interview with Randall of TechVi and Nate of CNET about 3D TV. My dream 3D kit? Something like the Death Star simulation on board the Rebel ship in Star Wars. My nightmare kit? Watching someone play a 3D video game when there’s only one pair of glasses in the house. -

PS3 Slim expends half the energy of the PS3 Fat
Posted on August 27, 2009 | No Comments
What would it be like to have a real testing lab instead of working in the makeshift "lab" that is John's attic? A blogger can dream. Or we can take a look at an outfit like Cnet.
The boys over at CBS tested the new PS3 Slim against the PS3 Fat using an array of power consumption tests. The verdict?

Steering wheel for iPhone — yes, iPhone
Posted on August 5, 2009 | No Comments
In what may be considered an enormous oversight on Apple's part, tilt-to-steer racing games require weak technology lovers to hold their arms up in the air for tens of minutes. Tens! No iPhone owner possibly has that kind of upper body strength. A company called CTA Digital knows this and has thankfully developed a racing wheel accessory.

DIY home surveillance
Posted on August 3, 2009 | No Comments
It's like the Internet knows what I'm looking for! Josh Lowensohn at CNET just ran through a few webcam-based surveillance systems. I just bought the Linksys WVC54GCA so I can watch the front door for the FedEx man while I'm in the attic and lo and behold Josh has gone and apprised a few of the better models out there. This, in turn, helps me in my quest to be completely obese and immobile inside my house while watching the exterior on cameras arrayed around the perimeter.

Apple fixes up Logic Studio to make me sound less like a tone-deaf yodeler
Posted on July 23, 2009 | No Comments
I've never really used Apple's high-end audio or video software - I've tried Logic Express and found it to be a little too overwhelming - but there are plenty of folks out there who will be lining up for the new version that just dropped. It costs $499 and includes a number of cool features that have piqued my interest.
CNET has a nice rundown of the new version. It will include an Amp Designer and Pedalboard system that will let you model your guitar sounds using specific amps and pedal styles, all in real time.

Foxconn employee interrogated over lost iPhone prototype, suicide ensues [Update]
Posted on July 21, 2009 | No Comments
So the story goes that a 25-year-old man at Foxconn - where iPhones are born - was to send 16 iPhone prototypes to Apple, but one was lost somewhere. The Foxconn security department then proceeded to illegally search the man's apartment and interrogated him. But that was too much for the man that might be responsible for leaking a prototype of the next iPhone.

So Mafia games are really popular?
Posted on July 3, 2009 | No CommentsI guess Mafia games are a big hit these days. Zynga's Mafia Wars, a multiplayer game that's playable on social networks like Facebook, as well as the iPhone, has attracted some 4 million gamers to its clutches. (This, despite the fact that it's more or less a rip-off of the earlier Mafia Life game.) Part of the game's success, I think, can be attributed to the fact that, unlike in games like World of Warcraft, there's not as much of a social stigma attached to “whacking” rival mobsters—slaying dragons and whatnot is still sorta “nerdy,” something that good ol' Cnet says, too. So we're in good company here.
