Ouya is a new video game console powered by the Android platform. Developers of Ouya are seeking an open gaming platform for developers and gamers alike. One of my friends linked me on Facebook to the Ouya Kickstarter campaign one day after it was launched, at which point it had already raised over $1 million. At this point, Ouya has been featured on many top blogs and news outlets. While their pitch hit all the right spots, I have some lingering doubts about Ouya’s ability to make a lasting impact on the gaming industry and I want to share my doubts from the perspective of a console gamer. Ouya’s…

When it comes to t-shirts we have all had a fair amount that share quirky, funny or offensive messages, these shirts help us to express ourselves and display a part of our personality. What if you didn’t need various t-shirts to share messages, instead displaying diverse messages on only one t-shirt? Would you want it? TshirtOS is a collaborative creation by the whiskey brand, Ballantine’s and the clothes company well known for turning t-shirts into technological fashion, CuteCircuit, together they have created what they call the very first “wearable, shareable, programmable t-shirt”….

Once upon a time… okay, it doesn’t really start off that way for we all know that the alarm clock is no fairy tale, they are very real. In fact, most of us would not have been able to get out of bed this morning without one. Who knew that something so small could make such a loud sound that wakes us so abruptly from our peaceful sleep? However, it did not begin that way for us humans; we used other means to wake us from our slumber long before the alarm clock. …

The Romney campaign announced today that those who download the “Mitt’s VP” app for iOS and Android will be the first to know who his choice is for running mate in the upcoming presidential election. The app will push the name of the GOP vice presidential nominee directly to mobile devices as soon as word comes out from Romney campaign headquarters. “The first official way to learn the name of the Republican vice presidential candidate is by using our new ‘Mitt’s VP’ app,” said Romney digital director Zac Moffatt in a statement. “Users of the app will be the first to get the news on the biggest…

Many have billed Google’s Nexus 7 as a clear competitor to the Amazon Kindle Fire. Same price point, same size screen. The comparisons can really end there, though. The big difference other than superior aesthetic is in the way the software performs. There were plenty of unboxing videos but we wanted to wait to see how it performed long-term (which, in the tablet world, is a couple of weeks) and so far it has been very impressive. It is more responsive than the Kindle Fire and with the much-larger app store and front-facing camera, Google has created a superior device at the same price as the Fire. As…

There have been insinuations that Gene Roddenberry came up with the idea for the iPad or even the flip phone, or that Leonardo da Vinci inspired a plethora of ideas that turned into modern technology, but this predictive design by inventor Kane Kramer in a patent filing in 1979 is about as close as one can get to detailing the design for the iPod. The IXI was to use flash-based memory, had a display screen, quad-directional controls, and was supposed to be the size of a deck of playing cards. Sound familiar? As Gizmodo explains, he even had a vision for DRM: He predicted DRM, though he didn’t go into many…

There are many who are holding off on buying a tablet until the Microsoft Surface is released. If Microsoft doesn’t clear the air about the pricing of the mobile devices, they may see some of those who are waiting for it go out and buy an iPad, Kindle Fire, Google Nexus 7, or any of the other already-available tablets because the ludicrous pricing that is circulating now is too high to keep their attention. If the pricing is correct, they are already in trouble. Swedish website Webhallen is displaying pricing for the Microsoft Surface starting at 6,990kr for the basic 32GB RT version. 1 Swedish krona…

Google has never been the best when it comes to plugging their own products. It has resulted in poor launches of other items such as all of their first phone attempts, their Chromebooks, and just about everything else they’ve pushed, even the big Google+ blast that they’ve been hammering for the last several months. Their push for the Nexus 7 tablet has been stronger and the advertising shows promise. In an almost Applesque way, the latest video they’ve released introducing their tablet hardware attempts to touch people where they are most likely approachable – the family. Instead of going into…

However, have we lost our ability to know when to hold them and know when to…
