Microsoft in hot water over China factory conditions
Posted on April 14, 2010 | No CommentsYet another scandal coming out of China relating to its factories. Last time it was Apple that got in trouble, now it's Microsoft. An undercover investigation, carried out by the National Labor Committee over a period of three years, discovered that several factories there, including ones used by Microsoft to produce things like webcams and mice, were treating their workers like garbage. “We are like prisoners. It seems like we live only to work. We do not work to live. We do not live a life, only work.”

Fourth Gen iPhone Almost Certainly to be Announced June 22
Posted on April 14, 2010 | No Comments
"Hey. You. Come over here." A scraggly female voice rang out from the bushes.
I looked over at the gypsy, half hidden by the shrubbery.
"Why?" I asked. The last time I did what a gypsy said I almost lost a kidney, so this time I wanted to be careful.
"I have something to tell you. Something the world will want to hear."
Intrigued, I moved toward her. She raised her ancient arm, revealing her globular cliché (a crystal ball). I found the slight glow enticing. I peered deep. And all was revealed.
Through the fog I could see a man in a black turtle neck. A calendar on the wall behind him clearly read June 22 2010. He was holding what looked to be an updated iPhone.

Posted on April 5, 2010 | No CommentsRemember the last time Sprint released a new BlackBerry device? Dinosaurs had just recently stopped roaming the earth, and the only time people saw fire was when they were lucky enough to have lightning strike a nearby tree.

RadioShack looking for a buyer, possibly Best Buy
Posted on March 26, 2010 | No CommentsWe could be looking at the end of RadioShack, boys and girls. The company is said to be exploring a strategic partnership, or outright sale, possibly to Best Buy. I don't see why Best Buy would be interested: what does RadioShack sell that's either A) not already available or B) entirely too niche for its Wal-Mart approach to selling consumer electronics?

Posted on March 26, 2010 | No Comments
HP has a spring refresh coming real soon and we might finally get a look at the Envy 14 and Envy 17 that's been rumored for so long. The Envy models, along with the dm4 from the other day's rumor, were found on the same sort of support documents that supposedly leaked the notebooks late last year. So here we go again, down the rabbit hole of rumors.

Sony: “The PS3 is all the 3D gaming you need and you better like it.” (or something like)

New, arbitrary App Store rejection reason: “Minimum User Functionality”
Posted on March 1, 2010 | No Comments
So say you're really into Jersey Shore. And you want to make a phone like the duck phone in the show. And you're like "Why not make an app that quacks like a duck and makes your phone quack like a duck?" Heck, it's a free country, as far as you can tell. This is what our grandfathers fought the Battle of the Bulge for, right?
Well the cheese-eaters at Apple will say that your dumb quack app "contains minimal user functionality" and, as a result, deny your application to rock out on their App Store.

Posted on February 27, 2010 | No Comments
Good news, Palm fans! If you've taken a break from jamming on the "Update" button, it's time to go tap it one last time: the rollout of webOS 1.4 has just begun. The catch: it seems that it's only for Sprint handsets right now, with the Verizon Pre Plus and Pixi Plus still reporting that 1.3 is the latest release.

THQ CEO says Sony’s motion controller is actually named Arc, not Gem
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No CommentsLast time we heard, Sony’s motion controller was named Gem. That was according to EA’s CEO, John Riccitiello, back in early December. But THQ’s head man said today in an investor call that it’s named Arc. Either way it still seems like a novelty Wii Remote controller knock-off to us. Pass. (unless there’s a killer game and then [...]
