The “Get a Mac” Ads are gone
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsFriends, it happened. Those long-running ads featuring John Hodgman and Justin Long as PC and Mac, are over. They have been replaced by the “Why you’ll love a Mac” page featuring pictures of Macs and a number of roll-over peans to Mac’s greatness including “It’s designed to be a better computer” and “It runs Office [...] -
mSpot stores your music* in the cloud, makes it available anywhere**
Posted on May 19, 2010 | No CommentsWhoa there, vaquero -- don't get too excited just yet. As with just about every other gratis backup service on the web, there's a catch you should know about with mSpot's latest endeavor. The free limit is right around 2GB (exact size is TBD), so if you've got more than a second generation iPod's worth of audio, this here service will only serve as a tease. For those who fall under that threshold, there's plenty to love, and if you're down for ponying up, you'll be able to secure 10GB for $2.99 per month or 20GB for $4.99 per month. Launched today at Google I/O, this "freemium" music cloud service essentially syncs your entire music library (either in iTunes or a user-designated arrangement of folders) with mSpot's servers -- provided your library is less than 20GB, of course -- and then makes it available anywhere. Phones and other computers should have no issue tapping in (though only Android will be supported out of the gate), and the app itself runs quietly in the background in order to check for new additions / subtractions and mirror said changes in your online library. For now, the service is available by invitation only through mspot.com, with public availability slated for next month. Size limits aside, the service worked well for us in our limited testing, though that first 20GB upload is a real pain over Time Warner Cable's obviously capped Road Runner internet. Oh, and if you're bummed about not being guaranteed an invite today, you shouldn't be. Hit that source link and enter "engadget" as the password -- the first 500 get immediate access, but once they're gone, they're gone.
*20GB tops, buster!

Is this nice looking browser really Internet Explorer 9?
Posted on April 1, 2010 | No CommentsSeeing as today is April Fool’s Day and the source of this pic is some random Chinese site and it looks great unlike previous versions, let’s tread carefully here, m’kay. But that pic is supposed to be a IE 9. The overall design clearly follows the same design cues found in Windows 7 Mobile: sharp lines [...] -
CastOven: TV on a microwave? Why not!
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
Say you're making popcorn but you hate watching the bag expand in the oven as it cooks and you hate it when you have to think you have to touch the bag before it's done. You know what I'm talking about, right? Well now researchers in Japan have added a 10.4-inch LCD to a microwave, creating the CastOven. It plays Internet streams.
Why did they really make this thing? Heck if I know. I guess they really like Internet TV. It runs Adobe Air and is "compatible" with Macs and PCs.

Mac pricing leak? Perhaps updated Macs are inbound.
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No Comments
In case you haven't noticed, the MacBook Pro line is starting to get a little stale with just a lowly Core 2 Duo CPU. Even the Mac Pro with it's Quad-Core Xeon isn't the fastest kid in town anymore with the six-core Core i7-980X making the rounds. Hopefully all this fuss concerning a supposed leak of new Mac pricing that's a bit higher than the current MSRPs foreshadows updates coming in the near future.

Review: BookEndz Dock For MacBook Pro
Posted on January 2, 2010 | No Comments
Mac users really haven't had the chance to use a docking station. Most PC's come with an option for a docking station but Apple has never followed suit. Third-party manufacturer BookEndz has a suite of docks for Macs ranging from the first generation MacBook, to the PowerBook, all the way to the latest unibody MacBook Pro. Over the last couple of weeks I've been playing around with the BookEndz dock for the first generation unibody 15" MacBook Pro.
Overall, the dock is well built. It adds some functionality that might be needed in the future, including extra USB ports, etc. Previous versions of the docks did have both a DVI port and a VGA port, so that you could hook up two external monitors to your Mac, but with this version, you can only hook up one monitor through the Mini Display Port.

OnLive shows off UI and iPhone use in marathon tech demo (video)
Posted on December 30, 2009 | No CommentsSure, OnLive has already done live demos of its "cloud gaming" service, but it never hurts to get another comprehensive 48-minute video on the subject. In a presentation at Columbia University, CEO Steve Perlman goes over the nitty gritty of how game streaming works, the OnLive user interface (11:53), an inevitable Crysis Wars demo (16:35), Brag Clips (17:49), and of course the iPhone app (19:31). Though cellphone integration is still limited to primarily spectating and social networking functions, PCs and Macs can get gaming via a 1MB browser plugin, or you can grab the microconsole streaming box for your TV, which Steve suggests might be given away for free with OnLive subscriptions. If you have any more unaswered questions, check out the audience Q&A at 33:14, and the full vid awaits after the break.

Netbooks are forcing YouTube to conform to their twisted will
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
I've been down on netbooks because a) they suck and b) they're underpowered. Now, however, if your $299 kleinewunderbuk is too slow, the Internet has a fix.
YouTube, for example, can be a big resource hog on many netbooks. Streaming video through a Flash player? As if! The Space Shuttle can't even do that kind of processing on the freaking fly!

Digital Contents Expo Tokyo: Pioneer’s awesome 3D display “Floating Vision” (video)
Posted on October 27, 2009 | No CommentsPioneer has showcased the Floating Vision at the Digital Contents Expo in Tokyo (that ended Sunday), another 3D display that doesn't require you to wear glasses (yawn) to view 3D images. It's not bad at all though, even though visitors flocked to Sony's booth to see their stereoscopic 3D display (which was a bit cooler). You can connect the Floating Vision to a PC via USB 2.0 to view images or videos "floating" over the display (5.7 inches, 640 × 480 VGA resolution). What's pretty cool is that you can "interact" with the image, as the device detects your hand movements. It's also possible to "control" an image with your voice (the device has a mic on its front). Both Windows PCs and Macs are supported.

Yesterday’s Macs are today’s bargains
Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
You have to love the game that Apple plays. The company never puts anything on sale and all its products generally stay at their MSRP until new models are available to replace them. Well, because of yesterday's new products, today is lucky day. (if you're in the market for a new Mac, that is)

Apple outs new Mac minis
Posted on October 20, 2009 | No CommentsJust like the rumor stated, Apple refreshed the Mac mini lineup today. The smallest Macs now sport faster 2.26GHz or 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo CPUs, 2 or 4 GB of RAM, and either 160 or 320 HDD. There is also a $999 1TB option but you must forgo the optical drive. Apple must be [...]
