MOST RECENT ![]() Google Continue World Domination: Music
Google’s supposed quest for world domination, or at least the quest for a complete market takeover of the tech world, is expanding again, with Google Music – supposedly either an attack at iTunes, but possibly just a music-buying service online, like Amazon. Not many details are out now, but it [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 20 hours ago View Comments OTHER NEWS
![]() The New iPod Nano Apple have announced a new iPod Nano, along with the other stuff they’ve announced. While I’m impressed by the features they’ve implemented to the iPod Touch, and I’m glad with the buttons back on the iPod Shuffle; I personally don’t really understand the logic behind what they’ve done with the new iPod Nano. The iPod Nano no longer sports a video camera or buttons, instead [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 3 days ago View Comments ![]() [MEGA] New Apple TV, iTunes 10, New iPods This is what Apple is unveiling right now at their annual September Press conference. Same as last years, they unveil new iPods, and iTunes 10. The iPod Touch 4 The new iPod touch has front- and back-facing cameras, with FaceTime support, and running iOS 4.1. Here’s a full list of [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 3 days ago View Comments ![]() What Could Apple’s Big Press Conference Be? Apple, today, are holding a large press conference, presumably with a music theme; although the actual content is still at this point largely unknown. The event, being held at the moment in San Francisco, is noted only by a guitar with an apple logo. Could it be new iOS-powered TV, dubbed [...] Posted by James Workman, 3 days ago View Comments ![]() Google Translate Receives Redesign Google Translate, the popular service from Google, received today a makeover – which makes it fit in with the new Google design and less of the old one. The update moves things around, and adds 2 new features – listening to both the text you typed in & the output [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 3 days ago View Comments ![]() ViewSonic ViewPad Not an iPad Killer This is the ViewSonic ViewPad; the next tablet inline trying to earn the somewhat ridiculous title of ‘iPad Killer’. The 7-inch tablet runs on a 600MHz ARM CPU, with a disappointing 800×480 resolution. It runs Android 2.2 Froyo – finally, an up-to-date Android release – and it’s going to be on [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 4 days ago View Comments ![]() Samsung Galaxy S: 1 Million Sold Samsung have announced a largely impressive number of their Galaxy S smartphones’ sales. One which shows that good advertising works. In total, Samsung have moved over one million of the Galaxy S-series phones since they were launched on August 15 – just 15 days. The phone boasts heavy features such [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 5 days ago View Comments ![]() Foursquare Take Over Times Square This is Times Square; which has become completely Foursquare dominated. The question is – how on earth does a small start-up like Foursquare achieve an ad of this scale? It’s not like the ad didn’t do anything though – Foursquare just passed 3 million users – which, although a small [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 6 days ago View Comments ![]() Paul Allen Sues The Internet Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen unveiled a series of patents he owns the right to – all around a decade old – and has filed patent violation lawsuits against AOL, Apple, eBay, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples, Yahoo, and YouTube; largely most of them infringing on his patent #682. [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 7 days ago View Comments ![]() Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Epic Review In Short: Scott Pilgrim vs The World is a masterpiece of a perfect merge of gaming and comic book humour that is a brilliant adaptation of the book series. A film that’s brighter and poppier than being on a coffee high, it’s bursting at the seam with great humour, great [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 8 days ago View Comments ![]() Facebook Kill List: 3 Dead In something that is entirely as shocking as it is disgusting, morally incorrect and plainly revolting, 3 teenagers in the town of Puerto Asis, Columbia have been murdered after appearing on a ‘Facebook Kill List’. 66 other people were on the list, and Columbian Authorities have zoned into the case; previously [...] Posted by George Cairns, 9 days ago View Comments ![]() Samsungs Galaxy Tab: Déjà Vu The Samsung Galaxy Tab may look familliar to you… that’s probably because it is. The interface is vastly similar to Apple’s iPad UI. The teaser video by Samsung, available on their website, displays a quick flash-through of screenshots of the new Galaxy Tab’s UI. Here’s a comparison of 2 screenshots [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 9 days ago View Comments ![]() USB 3.0: A Breakdown In the last decade, USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the standard connection between computers (both PC’s and Mac’s) and peripherals of any kind (any kind of electronic equipment used with computers). It began development in 1994 by the seven largest computer companies at that time (Compaq, IBM, Intel & Microsoft [...] Posted by Angus Goldie-Scott, 11 days ago View Comments ![]() Happy 15th, Windows 95. August 24, 1995. The release date of Windows 95; pretty ugly, pretty crash-prone (BSOD), and generally pretty bad. But did you know that 2 in 3 computers were using it in 1997? While we may scoff at it now, Windows 95 was a big step forward for computers worldwide, and [...] Posted by James Workman, 11 days ago View Comments ![]() Touchscreen iMac? This Is Interesting If Apple’s latest patents are correct, then sometimes in the future (or not at all), we might be seeing a touchscreen iMac. Rather than ditch the keyboard and mouse entirely, the touchscreen instead converts from a non-touchscreen surface to a touchscreen one by moving the display down. Patents recently submitted [...] Posted by Marc Lequime, 11 days ago View Comments |
