  • Blackberry employees singing the blues over tablet?

    Blackberry employees singing the blues over tablet?

    Posted on May 13, 2010 | 1 Comment
    So BGR has some info on the Blackberry tablet, telling us it will be “complementary” to the phone, using only Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connectivity. The device will have an 8.9-inch screen and may be available in December. Interestingly, Blackberry employees are seemingly frustrated with the project and this may be Blackberry’s Foleo, which would be [...]

    Help Key: Syncing and sharing on the iPad

    Posted on April 4, 2010 | No Comments
    I did a quick exploration of the syncing and sharing features for the iPad and found them slightly confusing but, ultimately, robust. Here are a few issues/findings I think you’ll be interested in: No PDF support – You can drag ePub files over to your iPad and they will appear in the reader. However, you will [...]

    Rick Moody goes nuts over the Kindle

    Posted on February 8, 2010 | No Comments
    I liked the Ice Storm. It was a good book and movie. I also like Rick Moody. Clearly the Moodster was expecting too much of Amazon when he cracked open his Kindle and immediately expected his device to contain the wisdom of the ages including content by Grace Paley and Stanley Elkin. Sure, the Kindle [...]

    RIBA picks up the ladies

    Newlaunches has some video of a freaky robot that lifts sick people off of their beds. Why the robot has a freaking bear head is unexplained but I’m assuming this is to keep kids from going nuts when a robot comes to take them away.

  • Operation Chokehold will blow up AT&T on Friday

    Operation Chokehold will blow up AT&T on Friday

    Posted on December 15, 2009 | No Comments
    Fake Steve is rustling some feathers this week with his Operation Chokehold, a planned bit of corporate disobedience against AT&T. He's telling iPhone users to go nuts with the data on Friday, December 18, just to show AT&T's CEO De La Vega, the man who suggested education would encourage users not to use his network so much, what uneducated users really can do to his preciously twee airwaves. The call to action:
    Subject: Operation Chokehold On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. THe idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!

  • iPhone 3GS coming to Tesco Mobile on December 14, extreme price plans in tow

    iPhone 3GS coming to Tesco Mobile on December 14, extreme price plans in tow

    Posted on December 10, 2009 | No Comments
    The marriage of a high-priced smartphone to a value-minded department store was always going to be interesting and Tesco has not disappointed. Having just announced that availability of the latest and greatest iPhone is coming on December 14, the company has also detailed some unique -- for the UK at least -- price plans to go with it. Most notable is the unlimited (subject to fair use policy) 3G web and BT Openzone WiFi access on offer, which will be free for a year to Pay As You Go and one-year contract customers or for two years if you're on a 24-month agreement. Tesco's also bringing the minimum monthly outlay down to £20 ($32) on its one-year contract, but that only gets you a £60 ($98) calls and texts allowance and you'd have to pony up £320 ($520) for the 16GB handset. On the other hand, you could go nuts and get the unlimited calls and texts plan for £60 a month, which isn't too bad value for the incessant chatterboxes out there. Finally, there's also half-price calling to your favorite five numbers, which isn't going to matter much to people on the all-you-can-eat price plan, but is a nice extra.

    [Thanks Tony H. and everyone who sent this in]

    Damn it, Canada. As an inhabitant of another country on the same continent, it is my duty to highlight all of the things we have that you don’t. I mean, who needs universal health care when you’ve got truck nuts? Every time someone would bring up the US’ lack of Poutine, I’d counter with the [...]

    In your face, parents all over the world. After pleading with your children to quit rotting their brains with non-stop video game playing, your suggestion of playing a board game instead has backfired on you with the Nintendo edition of Monopoly.

    Fresh from the Twitter feed of Grant Imahara we see Kari from Mythbusters going nuts with a sniper rifle taller than her. I hope it's for an experiment and not a Discovery-channel sponsored "Deadliest Game" reality show where the prey will be hosts of various Food Network programs. Click to embiggen.

    Up-close with Watchismo, one of the most eclectic watch collectors I know

    Posted on October 28, 2009 | No Comments
    While I'm not quite down with a lot of Watchismo's aesthetic choices, you gotta respect his drive. This guy loves Swiss quartz, crazy designs, and even goes nuts over Hamilton Electrics, watches that are so odd that only one person in the world can fix them.

    How should RIM react to increased competition from Apple, Palm?

    Posted on September 25, 2009 | No Comments
    Poor RIM. One or two analysts lower your stock rating from “buy” to “neutral” (or the equivalent), and then your stock drops some 16 percent. You know who to blame, too: it's those busybodies at Apple and Palm, what with their iPhones and Palm Pres eating into your bottom line. (Never mind that your own “iPhone killer” was sorta meh.) What is RIM to do?

    Hyundai goes nuts with OLED screens

    Hyundai? Pretty please bring OLED screens to the automotive world. It doesn't have to be as futuristic as the dashboard in the Blue-Will concept car, but OLEDs are just so nice. Ford is already using LCD screens in its latest hybrids, but why not up the game a bit, and do something radical? Please?
