May 24 by James Mowery | add comment

Barnes & Noble has something new up their sleeve, and it’s in the form of a new six-inch Nook. This isn’t the Nook Color. This is back to basics with the e-ink technology that made e-readers famous in the first place. This time Barnes & Noble has fully embraced touch-screen technology, but there is much more »

Our résumés, unfortunately, will never look this good

QR codes are a mixed bag. Some people love ‘em. Some people don’t have the slightest idea as to what they are. But Vector Petit expects you to know what it is, especially if you are planning on reading his résumé. Well, “reading” isn’t exactly the correct term here. If you want to know what we mean, more »

Apple tells Lodsys to lay off iOS developers, but its impacts are minimal

May 24 by James Mowery | add comment

Lodsys is a company on a mission. They have been determined to sue iOS developers who are, in their eyes, illegally using their own patents. But it’s more complicated than that. Apple licensed these patents and, in some cases, require them to be used by iOS developers. So who is responsible here more »

Angry Birds invades Spain, and nothing you can do will stop it

May 17 by James Mowery | add comment

I was previously one of those guys who argued that Angry Birds was incredibly overhyped, but I realize now that there is no getting away from it. No matter what you or I do, Angry Birds are going to be flying, screaming, and destroying pigs wherever we go. So we might as well embrace it; we know the Spaniards are. more »

May 17 by James Mowery | add comment

If you were in London recently and watched the 2011 FA Cup Final (it’s a football soccer thing) at Wembley, you would have been part of history — the world’s largest 360-degree panoramic photo was shot there. The photo is huge, and with an insane amount of detail, but there is also a bit of fun going more »

Slingshot reaches BFG status, and it would hurt you, badly

May 10 by James Mowery | add comment

In the war against zombies, the humans might be losing, but “The Avalaunche” might help sway the tide back into our favor, assuming all other weapon choices are exhausted. This bad boy packs the punch of a 20 mm steel ball — six of them, I might add, which fire at the same time. It’s sure to cause some more »

This future eco-friendly home is deadly, cramped, symmetrical, and awesome!

May 10 by James Mowery | 3 comments

All the things I want in the house of the future are represented in the Cube. It’s a 3 x 3 x 3 meter home that features a symmetrical box, a cramped living space (with an HD LED TV included), and a lawsuit waiting to happen if you’re in a hurry to go up or down some space-saving stairs. However, it is carbon more »

Sony: we are "uncertain" (have no clue) when PSN is coming back

May 10 by James Mowery | 6 comments

Sony was threatened, credit card numbers were stolen, gamers were frustrated, and Sony still doesn’t have a clue about what is going on. And yet the train wreck — also known as Sony’s PSN service — continues to take its toll on gamers. So, if anyone out there was hopeful for a return of multiplayer more »

In what could only be described as Mario Kart meets ocean’s bottom, these HydroBOB suits will allow a user to submerge under water, breath normally, and move freely, all without the flippers, oxygen masks, and all that other arcane technology. If you want to experience HydroBOB, you’ll have to be near the Fort more »

Hackers compromise Sony Online Entertainment, Sony shuts it down

May 3 by James Mowery | 2 comments

Sony has been beaten up pretty badly lately, but this is kicking ‘em while they’re down: hackers have compromised Sony Online Entertainment, which provide access to several online MMOs. Not only that, but hackers could have potentially stolen credit card data from those accounts as well. Sony is still investigating. Sony was quicker to respond more »

Why I regret the day I purchased anything but an iPhone

Apr 28 by James Mowery | 47 comments

I’ve been a huge supporter of Android over the past year. Ever since I purchased my Droid X, things have been okay. I’m checking my email, staying on top of social networks, and flinging Angry Birds around. But asking any more of my Android device is far too much, and that’s a big problem. What am I doing more »
