Lame: The iPad is banned at Yankee Stadium
Posted on May 24, 2010 | No CommentsBad news, Yankees fans. Apparently the winningest team in the history of sport doesn't want you sitting inside the stadium with an iPad on your lap. That's right: the iPad is banned at Yankee Stadium! So says a poster on one of the IGN messageboards. The Bronx is burning.

Nuance’s Dragon Dictation for E-Mail now available for BlackBerry
Posted on April 21, 2010 | No CommentsTyping is hard. I hardly ever type unless I have to. In fact, roughly 80% of MobileCrunch’s operating bills go towards paying a full staff of invisible underlings to write what I say and censor my vulgarity. Unfortunately for the livelihood of the aforementioned underlings, they’re now replaceable by a BlackBerry. Following up on the launch of [...] -
Pew Internet report reveals what everyone already knows: Teens like to text
Posted on April 20, 2010 | No Comments
If you've seen a teenager in the last two years, then you've seen a teenager texting. Seriously, I can't think of a situation in the last couple of years where I saw a teenager without a cell phone. The teenagers in my extended family send text messages seemingly all day long, every day. Now the Pew Internet and American Life project has released a pretty comprehensive analysis of teen texting behavior.

Nuance Launches Voice-powered Dragon Search App For iPhone
Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
Hot on the heels of the launch of their Dragon Dictation app (and a short-lived and mostly overblown privacy scandal), Nuance has just launched a second iPhone application: Dragon Search.
Heralded by Nuance as the "fast, accurate, and smart way to search online content on your iPhone", Dragon Search allows iPhone users to search across Google, Yahoo!, Bing, iTunes, Twitter, Wiki, or YouTube by speaking their search terms.

Posted on December 16, 2009 | No CommentsJust a few days ago, the voice recognition connoisseurs over at Nuance released Dragon Dictation, an iPhone app which would automatically transcribe your voice into text messages and emails.

Nuance outs free Dragon Dictation for iPhone
Posted on December 8, 2009 | No CommentsTalking on your phone is one thing, but talking at your phone makes you look like a crazy person. Of course, virtually everyone on the Engadget masthead is crazy in one sense of the word or another, so we have absolutely no qualms about the release of Nuance's Dragon Dictation for the iPhone, which uses the company's NaturallySpeaking engine to let you transcribe pretty much whatever you like. Of course, seeing how the iPhone lacks multitasking, it uses the clipboard as an intermediary -- talk into the Dragon app, then move over to wherever you want the good and paste 'em. It's free for a limited time, so you might want to grab this one sooner rather than later.

Virtual Mirror: augmented reality without glasses
Posted on October 8, 2009 | No Comments

Their Virtual Mirror display is, I think, a great example of augmented reality done right. It uses a camera, a display, and their special software to dynamically alter the image projected back to the viewer. Video inside!

Employees hate IT
Posted on August 27, 2009 | No Comments
Slate's Farhad Manjoo has thrown down the gauntlet by comparing IT workers to the hated TSA goons at airports. I, for one, won't stand to have my hard work besmirched in such a way! Sure, there are some power-hungry jerks working in IT, taking great delight in causing consternation and frustration to hapless users. But not all IT folks are like that.
