    Review part deux: Gunnar Optiks

    gunnarJust a quick post to provide a little more detail to David's review of Gunnar Legends computer glasses, to provide a non-gamer point of view. I've been using the same model on and off for a couple of weeks, too. Unlike David, I hardly ever play games. Instead, I use the Gunnar glasses to look at laptop and desktop computer screens, which are usually three or four feet from my face. Instead of staring at moving images, I stare at mostly text all day. Also, I wear contact lenses because my vision is pretty bad.

    Steam has many deals for you to peruse

    Interrupting your Thanksgiving Day weekend (and my Team Fortress 2 Sniper marathon) with a quick deal that will appeal to many of you (I should hope). You know Steam, right, Valve's digital distribution deal? There's a crazy, multi-day Black Friday sale going on right now that includes Left 4 Dead 2 at $37.99 (25 percent off the regular price) and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for $2.49 (75 percent off the regular price). A vanilla bullshit at Starbucks costs more than that.

  • Sprint launches Samsung Moment, Android empire expands by one

    Sprint launches Samsung Moment, Android empire expands by one

    And here comes more trouble for your wallet. Mixing up that unholy trifecta of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, AMOLED screen and Android inside, Samsung's Moment -- in spite of its quirks and niggles -- is likely to lighten the load for quite a few Sprint customers today. Pricing is as expected, with a $279.99 initial outlay that gets reduced to $179.99 after rebates, but you'll also have to agree to a two-year contractual commitment. Unless you're locked in to Sprint for whatever reason, we might advise holding out for a couple of days and seeing if the DROID takes your fancy, but don't take our word for it -- check out what your fellow readers think right here.

    A 15-year old Belgian by the name of Salvatore is the latest victim in a series of mysterious iPhone explosions that have captured the attention of France’s and the European Commissions’ consumer affair watchdogs. Details are scarce for the moment, but according to local news reports the teenager was holding his iPhone in his hand, about to make a call, when the device suddenly ‘imploded’. The incident didn’t cause any serious injuries but reportedly gave Salvatore a headache for a couple of days. He has been promised a free replacement unit by Apple but hasn’t yet received a new phone.

    It seems a lot longer than a year ago that Apple first opened the door of the iTunes App Store, but a year it is, and a lot has happened since real third party applications came to the iPhone and iPod Touch. In that time, the App Store has shifted one and a half billion applications [...]

    Only a couple of days after George Hotz became the first hacker to release a jailbreak app for the iPhone 3GS on Windows, there's a Mac-compatible version out too. This time, Hotz got some help from two fellow coders to be able to please the Mac folks, but he also made some improvements to the Windows version. Happy jailbreaking, and in case you didn't know yet: happy unlocking too.

    We’ve spent some quality time with the iPhone 3GS over the last couple of days and it looks like Apple is going to remain king of the smartphones with its latest iDevice. Although the 3GS is not significantly changed from the older 3G model, there are still a number of updates that make the 3GS [...]
