It’s pretty safe to say that when companies put out new tech products with innovative designs there are bound to be a few annoying issues. This was evident when Apple released the iPhone 4 with a new antenna design. The antenna, built into the stainless steal frame is super cool, but as we know from

One of the biggest benefits to online shopping is the illusion you don’t have to pay taxes. True, in most cases you don’t pay sales tax up front, but states still require you to pay a “Use Tax”, which is a whole ugly thing onto itself, but initially everyone basks in the glow of paying

Smartphones have been a boon to many retailers in terms of sales. As more and more consumers flock to phones with more features, and higher price points, they have seen their sales rise, but have they unwittingly also aided in damaging their bottom lines as barcode scanning applications become all the rage? If you go

Everyone tells you that you should have a strong password, but it is one of those things that definitely falls under “easier said than done.” Sure you can come up with something you feel is strong, but how do you gauge it? And what do you do if everything you think of is considered weak?

Anyone feel like a little mystery? How about trying to figure out this odd little version of the new Samsung Nexus S? The Android Nexus S is less than a week old, and people have been snapping them up, but out of the blue comes a limited edition … that no one seems to know

With all of the focus as of late on the Microsoft Kinect and the Sony Move controllers and how they are adding motion play to their respective systems, the lowly Nintendo Wii seems to be being left out in the cold. It introduced motion control to the masses (we’ll just ignore the Power Glove, thank

I am not the luckiest person in the world, and when I came home today to a mysterious package I figured it was a bomb or something that would bring pain and disdain to my household. Little did I know inside of the box was one of the most wanted piece of free technology around.

The iOS App Store is continuing to grow, and with the total number of apps having now surpassed 300,000, it’s a good time to take a look at how the mix of the store breaks down. App of the Day gathered all of the data together, and I for one have to say I’m a

With the holiday shopping season coming down to the wire, it can be difficult to pick just the right gift for someone.  Pretty much since Apple first introduced the iPod way back in 2001, it has been a popular item to find under the Christmas tree for people of all ages and genders.  The question

The day I bought my Apple TV I became addicted to Netflix, and now that the company is offering a streaming only plan to it’s customers, my wallet likes it even more. Admittedly, I have had to learn the Netflix culture, as newbies are often surprised that some titles are not available in high definition,

I am very stingy when it comes to buying apps for my familiy’s iOS devices. Generally, I think most apps are overpriced and feel that 99 cents is the magic number when it comes to most consumers. At this price point I don’t even think twice about purchasing an app that may be of interest

Apple’s iPad has taken off, and people are buying them up left and right. Once you get one, you immediately want to start downloading applications, and of course a good number of those will be games. Where do you start, though? There are thousands of them, and picking which ones to start with can be

This one wasn’t catching my amusement like the last two, but then about half way through we got to Microsoft Bookshelf, and we’re off to the races! Yes, folks, there was a time before Wikipedia where people still looked things up in books, or they had insanely expensive CD-ROMs they could pop in the drive.

The holidays are upon us, and if you’re like me, you have a good portion of you shopping completed.  Yet, there are always those few people on your list that are extremely difficult to buy for. The problem here is that I like tech, so when faced with a “what the heck do I get

You have to hand it to Apple sometimes. Could any other company control the news cycle of a trade show it doesn’t even attend? Apple isn’t big on the whole concept of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) held each Jan. They’re Apple after all, why should they mingle with all those other gadgets? That being

Jon says: “Picking the right phone can be tricky. You need to find the correct set of features that match your unique needs and wants. Two of the devices you may be considering, the Apple iPhone 4, and the Google Nexus S, which are put head to head in a 5 round smackdown, with 1

If you’re not a fan of Twitter, and thought the medium would phase out pretty quickly, think again. This week, Twitter announced they would be receiving a $200 million infusion of funds from venture capitalists Kleiner Perkins. Yes, the same Kleiner Perkins who invested in this little company called Google some time back. I would say

There is all sorts of excitement today over the release of the new Google Nexus S handset, but if you plan on using Best Buy gift cards to pick one up, you may want to think twice. We’ve heard some reports today of issues of customers trying to use Best Buy gift cards to pick

Back in 2008, when I ventured into the video review world, I became member of the YouTube community like millions of other people. As I started uploading my creations, I quickly learned of one major limitation: The dreaded ten minute time limit. After a bit of complaining to myself, it became fairly obvious that YouTube

It’s unclear if Apple realized it was essentially creating a whole new gaming platform when it came up with third-party applications for iOS devices, but that is exactly what has happened. As with the iPhone and iPod Touch before it, the iPad has been flooded with games, and we’re here to help you sort through

The concept of downloading a movie or television show onto removable media such as an SD card or thumb drive is hardly innovative, and despite previous failures, another company is going to give it a go.. If you remember, Warner and Paramount agreed to offer their titles via downloadable media and Blockbuster tried implementing this
