Dell, the makers of some of the ugliest computer devices I’ve ever seen (like my father’s laptop for instance) showed off in CES a concept monitor which is completely different from all of their past monitors.

Even though it’s probably terribly heavy, due to the glass panel, it’s certainly an eye opener, and if I had […]

In Apple Gazette, one of our sister blogs, editor Michael has just posted an interesting article explaining why he plans on dumping his cable TV service and choosing an Apple TV instead. Here are the five reasons in short:

Buying Your TV - By dumping cable, and switching to tv, you’re essentially going from renting to […]

According to Variety, Wal-Mart placed targeted ads for DVDs of “The Sopranos”, “Smallville”, “Desperate Housewives” and the movie “Office Space” […]

Despite Microsoft’s (”weak”) efforts in making Internet Explorer 7 more standards-compliant, the new version of Outlook ,which will be released next month, will stop using Internet Explorer’s engine to render pages, and instead, will use Microsoft Word’s rendering engine.
How bad is this? Well, I’ll show you how bad:

As stupid as this may sound, the first […]

If you are one of those very few people who are skeptic about World of Warcraft’s popularity or quality, then let there be no more doubts. Blizzard has just announced that their extremely popular MMORPG has surpassed the 8 million subscribers mark shooting itself even further away from any competitors.

And this number could very well […]

Steve Bryant from the Google Watch blog has posted a funny, but well thought, mock-up of what Google’s start page would look like if Yahoo designed it. Well, I can’t say that the result is surprising:

What’s funny about this image, is that Google allows you to create a custom homepage that may end up looking […]

And before you ask, TP doesn’t stand for Toilet Paper in this case ;)
The Vaio TP1 is a new miniature form PC built for living rooms that Sony has introduced at this year’s CES. But even though it is tiny, like the Mac Mini, it packs a mean punch in terms of processing power thanks […]

Although I’m not a big fan of any cellphone that you have to twist, bend or open, in order to use, LG has presented a very nice one that caught my eye. This is one of the phones you have to rotate in order to use, but what you gain from it is a concealed […]

Over the past few months we’ve seen and hear about various different ways to try and solve the HD format war. Warner has probably just shown the best one: Total Hi Def disks (I know, I’m not madly in love with the name either).
These disks allow you to have HD-DVD on one side of the […]

Although the gadget in everyone’s head right now is the iPhone, that didn’t stop the folks from iRiver, the daddys of MP3 players, from showcasing a very nice looking MP3 player, not that there’s any problem of lack of variety with them.

The interface looks nice and colorful, but it appears to be quite big. But […]

I woke up today, turned on my laptop, and I’ve been “wow’ed” ever since. Even my father, who almost never pays attention to the computer industry told me that he heard about “a great new gadget from Apple that can do everything a computer does”.
With the exception of the embedded cameras on cellphones today, not […]

It looks like the war being waged because of very popular BitTorrent protocol is spreading beyond the legal battles. BitTornado developer, John Hoffman, has decided to ban BitComet users from accessing his client due to BitComet’s misconduct and misuse of the protocol.
“When BitComet games super-seed, it induces the seed into thinking that the BitComet peer […]

The Hack247 admin has posted a nice comparison between the new formats, which companies support and what the current status of the “war” is.
It has been a long time since we last had a format war for the main media formats (I’m not considering the flash cards as a part of them), in fact, the […]
