Sirius XM radio coming to Android “soon”
Posted on April 26, 2010 | No CommentsHey, Android handset owners! Tired of your iPhone-toting friends bragging about how they can tune into SiriusXM radio on the go, while you can’t? Me too. (Don’t have any friends who happen to have both SiriusXM accounts and an iPhone? Me neither. We’re pretending, okay?) Fret no longer! Your time in the shadows of inadequacy is [...] -
Different Wi-Fi standards: Israel blocks iPad imports from the US
Posted on April 14, 2010 | No Comments
For some people, buying up iPads in the US in bulk and selling them in their home countries for $2,000 and more means serious business. But don't do that in Israel, at least for now. The country's Ministry of Communications has started banning all iPad imports yesterday because of the difference in Wi-Fi standards in the US and Israel.

Messi: You know you’re good when people compare you to a PlayStation!
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No CommentsHow do you know when you're a great athlete? Oh, I don't know, maybe when the top-tier manager of the opposing team calls you a PlayStation! Like, you're so good it's almost as if someone goes into Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer or EA Sports' FIFA, creates a player, than gives said player 12 out of 10 in all the key stats: speed, attack, technical skill, etc. Leo Messi is like a PlayStation.

Well, it looks like Sprint might soon be getting not one, but two new BlackBerry handsets to bring [...] -
Those drones you use in Modern Warfare 2? They could be illegal in real life.
Posted on March 24, 2010 | No CommentsYou know all those drones you kids use to rain grim death upon your unfortunate friends in Modern Warfare 2? Well, according to an American University law professor's Congressional testimony, they may be illegal under international law. Of course, they could be totally fine, too, it's just that nobody really knows for sure. That's probably not what the U.S. military wants to hear, given how much it has spent, and will spend, on drones.

Digital camera is half-inch thick, costs $25
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No Comments
Welcome to the future of digital photography, friends. This $25 camera measures 13.5 millimeters thick and takes what I can only assume to be mind-blowingly detailed 640x480 photos. That’s not all! The built-in memory holds 52 images! There’s no expansion slot but like I said, it holds 52 images. You’re not going to need an expansion slot, am I right?

webOS Gets A New And Much Improved Facebook App
Posted on March 3, 2010 | No Comments
Update: Added a few screenshots - check'em out after the jump!
At long last, webOS has been granted a Facebook application worth its weight in kilobytes. A completely revamped version of the Facebook application has just gone live in the Palm App Catalog - and boy, is it an improvement.
Palm has offered some level of Facebook support on webOS since the launch of the Pixi - but as we noted in our Pixi review, calling what it had "Facebook support" was probably exaggerating. You could sync your Facebook contacts, read your news feed, and.. well, that's it.
The new app, however...

Remeber that post about the wire shoe thing?
Posted on February 22, 2010 | No CommentsExciting news, friends. I've just come back from the future, and I have some news to share. In the year 2050, the United Nations will hold a "Remember Blogging?" panel, and it will be chaired by the encapsulated head, à la Futurama, of Cory Doctorow. There will come a time in the panel when Doctorow's head turns and says, "Now, blogging wasn't all shits and giggles. Some of it was truly dreadful. Par example..." This will all be done in Mandarin Chinese, of course, which replaced English as the lingua franca of the world in 2035. Anyhow, Doctoro's head will say, "You see, I seem to remember a post on reasonably popular tech blog CrunchGear that described some sort of wire-frame shoe. It was rubbish."

Ubisoft claims new DRM scheme was designed by ‘PC guys’ who are our ‘friends’
Posted on February 21, 2010 | No CommentsIs it even worth getting upset over this Ubisoft nonsense? By now you've certainly heard about the company's plans to implement a new form of DRM for its PC releases—I've only written about it 800 times in the past month! The DRM is bat-shit crazy, sure, but it's the sentiment behind it that has me concerned this Sunday morning.
