    PS3 Slim, anyone? Sony just ordered a whole bunch of PS3 components

    Posted on August 4, 2009 | No Comments
    The rumors surrounding a possible PS3 Slim continue, annoyingly. DigiTimes, the paper of record when it comes to what's being manufactured in eastern Asia, says that Sony “has ordered enough parts to make one million consoles in the third quarter of this year, twice as many as in the last three months.” In other words, Sony just ordered an extraordinary amount of components.

    Happy Birthday App Store. It’s Been a Good Year

    It seems a lot longer than a year ago that Apple first opened the door of the iTunes App Store, but a year it is, and a lot has happened since real third party applications came to the iPhone and iPod Touch. In that time, the App Store has shifted one and a half billion applications [...]

    Olympus sees error, credits original source of the E-P1 video

The Olympus E-P1 Pen digital camera ad after the jump is a great example. It clearly rips off the video above which was posted three [...]

    A color Kindle is years away, buyers remorse here to stay
    Hey, Kindle 2 owners, remember when Amazon made the device official and you thought: "Well, it took them a year and a half to replace the old one, so I can buy this one without fears of immediate obsolescence." And then remember how three months later they announced the Kindle DX and you thought: "Oh." Well, if you're now fearing a color Kindle will come sauntering along in a few months to make everyone jealous, fear not, as Jeff Bezos is saying the tech is still "multiple years" away, adding "I've seen the color displays in the laboratory and I can assure you they're not ready for prime time." From the few prototypes we've seen we'd tend to agree. So, anyone still on the fence about a Kindle, go ahead and buy now with confidence, as your devices won't be made to look quaint any time soon -- at least until that pizza box-sized reader Amazon's been working on in secret is announced in July. Did we mention it actually cooks pizza?
