HTC Supersonic to be announced next week?
Posted on March 17, 2010 | No CommentsThere isn’t much to say about the HTC Supersonic that hasn’t been said already. It’s big (in a 4.3-inch-display sort of way). It’s beautiful.

Though they aren’t naming [...] -

Video: HP has itself a Wall of Touch
Posted on January 20, 2010 | No CommentsWhat to make of HP's "Wall of Touch"? The Wall Street Journal has a nifty little write-up of the technology, and comes away like it just shook hands with Brock Lesnar's doctors. "Thank you so much, doctor!" The fact is, despite the fact that you don't actually touch the Wall of Touch, the idea of touchscreen interfaces is no longer foreign and exotic. We're several years after Jeff Han's big demonstration, plus there was that iPhone thing.

Disney announces new DVD Killer technology
Posted on October 21, 2009 | No Comments
I love companies like Disney. They seem to think that just because they want something some way, it'll happen. Take for instance their latest scheme. Instead of allowing you to "buy" their movies on DVD, Blu-ray, or even VHS, they are going to allow you to buy access to their content.

Ever since the DirecTV's CEO stepped down back in July, there has been talk about someone buying up the satellite TV provider.

In Japan, Nintendo has been experimenting with offering content other than just games for quite a while now. Japanese DS owners have been able to download anime movies and digital manga for over a year. And in May this year, Nintendo teamed up with the world's biggest ad agency, Tokyo-based Dentsu, to introduce a video distribution service for the Wii. Needless to say, this service is Japan-only, too. But that will change soon.

Who’s ‘right’ in the Net Neutrality debate?
Posted on September 26, 2009 | No CommentsThis past week saw the resurrection of Net Neutrality as a divisive issue. Some folks (people like Google, and, well, us) are in favor of Net Neutrality, while other folks (primarily the ISPs) are against it. Not long after the FCC announced its intentions, six Republican senators, three of which who received quite a lot of money from AT&T, proposed an amendment to a bill to stop the FCC in its tracks. The senators later rescinded their amendment, saying that they were now open to a “dialogue” with the FCC.
