HP CEO confirms webOS-powered Slates (but you’ll never guess what else)
Posted on May 18, 2010 | No Comments
The very instant it was announced that HP had purchased Palm,one idea set the hearts and minds of geeks everywhere aflame: webOS-powered tablets. webOS is a wonderfully glorious OS, hindered only by half-baked hardware - strap that thing onto a big ol' slab of glass, and you've got my money.
Aaaaand sure enough, that's one of the things that HP's got lined up, along with... something else.

Is the Asus Rampage III Extreme the best motherboard ever or overpriced hype?
Posted on May 13, 2010 | No CommentsMoments ago, in our chatroom, I said that, if I had the money, I'd buy two Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboards: one to use and one to hang on the wall like a diploma. That's how great the thing looks. Never mind that, simply reading the stats, it's one of the best motherboard money can buy as of today—it looks as if it was designed by an extraterrestrial being, one with an advanced outer space art degree. It's a very good board, but is it OMG BEST THING EVER~!

Verizon price cuts the Palm Pixi Plus down to free
Posted on May 10, 2010 | No Comments
Downward, downward, ever downward. Verizon just keeps dropping the prices on their Palm devices lower and lower. The Pre Plus dropped from $149.99 at launch to a paltry $29.99, while its baby sister, the Pixi Plus, dropped from $99 to.. the same price as the Pre Plus: $29.99.
Weird, right? A technically lesser phone floating around at the same price point as the heftier one? Verizon's gone ahead and patched up that little pricing oddity.

Posted on May 5, 2010 | No Comments
You've probably noticed on the 'webz today that the floodgates known as "the Kin review embargo" have opened, spewing forth impressions, opinions, analysis, and reviews for the masses to bathe in.
There is a general trend emerging, too. Something along the lines of "What have Microsoft done?"

Photo report: Darth Vader promotes DoCoMo cell phones in weird campaign
Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
NTT DoComo, Japan's largest cell phone carrier (55 million customers), is currently running a pretty bizarre viral promotion campaign in this country (both on- and offline). The company has set up a weird website [JP] that, for some strange reason, shows Darth Vader running around Tokyo and asking who's his boss ("Who is my boss" is the official tag line of the campaign).

Video: BioWare explains why The Old Republic combat will be super-duper
Posted on April 23, 2010 | No CommentsIt'd take a cataclysmic explosion at Yellowstone to knock World of Warcraft off its perch atop MMO Mountain, but if there's one game that will give it a run for its money it's BioWare's The Old Republic. Two reasons for that: one, it's BioWare, and two, it's Star Wars. Star Wars in the capable hands of BioWare = goodness. And I write that knowing absolutely nothing about Star Wars—I only saw Episode I and Episode III! Anyhow, a video!

PSA: New Virus Found On Windows Mobile 6.5
Posted on April 15, 2010 | No Comments
This is a heads up for anyone running Windows Mobile 6.5:
A little over a month ago, an xda-developers member reported that his phone was waking up on its own and attempting to dial out international numbers. Soon after, other users started reporting the same thing, and after some investigation, it turned out that a virus was to blame. The virus is particularly alarming because it has the potential to cost the phone owner a lot of money.
The virus comes in the form of the game "3D Anti-Terrorist". DO NOT INSTALL THIS GAME.

Is this the first home controlled solely by iPads and iPhones?
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No Comments
I said it a few days ago and I'll say it again, the iPad is the future of home automation. I'm clearly not alone in this thinking, either. At least one installer has already embraced the iPad and rolled out what could be the first whole-house system controlled by two iPads and one iPhone. This includes everything from the security systems, HVAC, cameras, three media servers, a Russound audio system, to even the pool can be controlled via these devices.
The installer has seen the future and it includes lots of iPads and money. via CEPro,
"My plan is to sell many more automation systems," he says. "The stumbling block for clients in the past hasn't been the control system, it's always been the cost of the user interface. With the iPad, this problem has been completely removed. This is a tremendous victory for the future of my business. I don't have to sell expensive products that don't multitask. And I get to charge each time I program an iPad or add one to the system."

FoxSoccer.tv learns that Web sites work best when they’re actually online
Posted on April 7, 2010 | No CommentsCall me crazy, but Web sites usually work best when they're online. Nobody knows this better than we do here at CrunchGear, where the site is down a good 20 percent of the time. But at the very least you're not paying for our crummy service, unlike the poor FoxSoccer.tv customers. Fox wants $45 per season for online access to a whole host of content, including live games from all over the world. It's really not a bad service when it works, but when it doesn't work people freak out, and rightfully so.
