Google Needs to Put the Buzzkill on a Dead Product
Jeff Bullas had a post up on his blog, Is Twitter About to Terminate Google Buzz, that discussed how Google Buzz is essentially dead. However, I don’t think Twitter killed Google Buzz.

A Dark Day for Gaming: Zynga Is Bigger Than EA
I’ve never liked Electronic Arts much, DRM-hawking corporate bad guys that we hardcore gamers make them out to be. But this is a sad day, indeed. BusinessWeek has reported that Zynga, makers of Farmville, have surpassed EA in worth, growing to 5.51 billion, next to EA’s 5.22 billion. Imagine that.

Why Apple’s Distortion Field Works
When Steve Jobs recently made an appearance on Apple’s earnings call, he – to put it mildly – caused quite a stir. He said 7″ tablets like RIM’s Playbook and the Samsung Galaxy Tab will be DOA. He argued that the fragmented nature of Android is “a nightmare”. Put in a more straightforward fashion, he… Continue reading Why Apple’s Distortion Field Works

No More Gunking Your Screen With Your Filthy, Filthy Hands While You Text
One of the deciding factors that made me go Blackberry instead of picking up an iPhone 4 was the tactile keyboard. I’m sorry, but there’s just no replacement for real buttons. I don’t care how swiftly you tapdance around that onscreen keyboard – the fact remains that it’s a f***ing screen. But maybe if I’d… Continue reading No More Gunking Your Screen With Your Filthy, Filthy Hands While You Text
