    webOS 1.4 update coming on Thursday?

    Posted on February 22, 2010 | No Comments
    Back at CES in January, Palm announced that webOS 1.4 and all of its video recording talents would be hitting Pres and Pixis around the world starting in “February”. Flash forward a few weeks, when a supposed snapshot of an internal Sprint scheduling sheet indicated that it would all start rolling out on February 15th. February [...]

  • No, that shot of the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone is not real

    No, that shot of the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone is not real

    Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
    This alleged snapshot of Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HTC HD2 has hit our inbox roughly a dozen times already, so I figured we'd go ahead and clear things up: No, it is not real. It's really, really late here in Barcelona (as in 4:30 AM), so I've got to make this quick for the sake of getting any sleep tonight.

    You don’t really have to start in on your New Year’s resolutions until Monday. Friday was pretty much a gimme and now it’s the weekend, so just rest up for whatever thing you’re going to try to do for a week before quitting. If digitizing old-timey family photos is on your list, this new-ish scanner is powered via USB cable and features simple one-button operation.

  • Storm 2 hitting Verizon with ‘MiFi capability?’

    Storm 2 hitting Verizon with ‘MiFi capability?’

    Posted on October 18, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , ,

    We can't confirm this Verizon Infomanager screen at this point, but if true, when the BlackBerry Storm 2 launches on the network, one of the big touted features will be its MiFi capabilities for sharing 3G internet over WiFi. It'd be smart branding move, sure, but MiFi is also the name Novatel uses for its hardware, so either we're talking here about an application of some sort or it's just internal communications short-hand. Also mentioned here is an October 21st launch, although it's been noted by Crackberry that the date's apparently been replaced with TBA. Without a doubt, we can confidently say we'll know for sure in the next, oh, 52 hours or so.

    [Thanks, Marc-Anthony S.]

    Make your own Street View rig for fun and profit

    If you suddenly find yourself with $300 to burn, an old laptop, and too much time on your hands this weekend, I might suggest that you build a DIY Google Street View-style rig for your car. That's what West Point student Roy Ragsdale did for his "disruptive technologies" class. And if someone at West Point does it, it's okay for you to do it.

  • Oh, come on: Snow Leopard doesn’t have ZFS

    Oh, come on: Snow Leopard doesn’t have ZFS

    Posted on August 30, 2009 | No Comments
    How many of y'all got around to installing Snow Leopard yesterday? I meant to, but then I bought a new hard drive for my old iMac (hey, any discreet graphics card is better than this old MacBook's Intel bologna), so I'll be upgrading everything next week. As if any of you care, I know, but trust me: there's a point. If you did install Snow Leopard, you'll no doubt have noticed this glaring kick in the teeth: Apple has removed ZFS! This will go down as one of the greatest injustices ever brought upon mankind.

    ChromeOS spotted with dock and other blurry UI elements

    Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
    A blurry snapshot of ChromeOS has surfaced showing a new, Mac-like dock and some battery and wireless notifiers in the bottom corner. This OS looks so stripped down compared to other OSes we’ve used that we’re loathe to call it anything more than a shell. However, we all love us some Google so let’s just [...]
