Free WiFi? Been there.
Unlimited WiFi subscription? Done that!
The tech scene has been abuzz time and again in the past few months or so about companies and organizations that envision to set up free city- or municipal-wide WiFi hotspots. This is in addition to the existing slew of service providers offering public-access wireless networks either for […]

Byd:Sign, an apparently crazy company has decided to release a huge LCD tv for a ridiculously low price.
They offer a 1000:1 contrast ratio, a 550cd/m2 brightness value, HDMI for 700 EUR (37″) and 560 EUR (32″).
There’s no word about how reliable these screens, or how good the quality is compared to other screens, but still, […]

Amazon has just started taking orders for Apple’s recently announced 17″ MacBookPro with a $150 rebate.
Amazon has lots of Apple products.

Doug Bowman of Stop Design fame was part of the team that worked on Google Calendar (although he has never really said what his role was). Needless to say, he has been using it for a few months. He has a great write up over on his blog with lots of tips for making your […]

There are some cameras being released with WiFi capabilities, like the Nikon P2, Coolpix S6 and Canon Powershot SD430, among others. But what about all of the other cameras already out there that still have to transfer images via USB?
Say hello to Eye-Fi. This company is developing flash storage with WiFi built in. Their first […]

Pete at Mashable.com takes a look into the branding strategy of Ask a Ninja, that set of usually-useful, always funny videos by creators Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine where this amusing character known only as “the Ninja” (because he’s dressed as a ninja?) responds to reader-submitted questions.
It is, first and foremost, truly great content - […]

The folks over at the Google System Blog have written up steps to run the Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 without having to actually install it on your system. You basically extract the contents of the Beta 2 package to a folder and then create a .bat file that executes it.

Here is a blog post with some tips on doing more with your PSP than just playing games, like watching videos, listening to iTunes music and playing Flash-based games. They even work for updated PSP firmware (v2.7)

And… what more can I say about it, other than that it will be bashed more than Sony’s PS3 boomerang controller was by online comics everywhere. Up until now, everyone from this side of the ocean, and the other, were excited about it. However, ever since the name was announced, I’ve started to see many […]

Microsoft’s CEO made a nice “campaign” comment on software piracy, perhaps to try and encourage people to legally purchase their software. Here is the comment itself:
“With less piracy, with more proper use, it certainly creates an opportunity for us and for other software companies to take a look at also reducing the cost, not just […]

I’ve always wanted to vacation in Europe, to visit both the world-famous tourist destinations and the quaint, little-known spots that only locals would know about. Until that time I can backpack my way there, or perhaps even move in for good someday, I’ll be content with exploring Europe by hand–with clicks of the mouse. And […]

A guy comes into the office at nine in the morning. He powers up his computer and prepares coffee while waiting for the machine to boot up (yes, it’s on Windows). Once logged in, he fires up Firefox and opens several bookmarked tabs, which include Bloglines, Google Blogsearch, Technorati and Icerocket. And he reads a […]

As mentioned yesterday, Nokia has pulled the curtain and brought out images of their newest cellphones. Even though they are mostly feature equivalent, they both have two very distinct shapes, and one of them has WLAN (I think that’s it really, at least the main terms).
First we have the N73, which is my personal favorite, […]

Avid Wordpress users and pro-bloggers using the popular open-source CMS (most popular, arguably) would probably agree with me that setting up WordPress is very easy, with its famous five-minute install (usually even less, actually). But factor in the likelihood that you’ll be installing new themes, customizations, and several plugins, and these five minutes quickly turn […]

I have used Yahoo! Mail for a while now but have never received an invite to try out the beta of their new Mail app. Here is a way to hack Yahoo! Mail to get you in the beta.

Looks like Microsoft is moving on when it comes to the original Xbox gaming console, as they have stopped production of the machine, and now stores are dropping the consoles from their sites.
Visitors to Walmart.com, Target.com, and BestBuy.com can no longer purchase an Xbox console from those sites.
These three key sites no longer show so […]
