Performance, interoperability, and standards. Surely, there can be some common ground to be had here? Apparently, as stated by the powers behind the browser offered for Windows users by default, it’s just too much to expect. It’s “complicated” to be cutting edge and keep things in sync with Web standards.
Yes, this is going to go [...]

Not at all shocked that Adobe Flash is still not available for mobile users yet. While we are seeing 10.1 available for desktop operating systems, those of us who use Flash realize there is little hope for it being a workable thing once it goes portable.
Imagine your resource starved iPhone, already choking on a variety [...]

One has to wonder who in the heck actually bothers to visit a video store anymore. Honestly, the era of the video store largely died for me a few years ago. I am either doing Netflix, watching movies over the Roku with OneBox, or borrowing DVDs from friends. If I want to rent something, I [...]

Normally I would point out that a media mongol such as Rupert Murdoch is obviously doing something right financially, being he is clearly doing a heck of a lot better in the pocketbook than most of us. Claiming he is clueless is a bit like saying someone else who has been able to grow a [...]

I read this article with great interest as I realize fully that many Windows gamers may be having mixed results with their Windows gaming experience since upgrading to Windows 7. And after all, with the promised compatibility in play, there should be no problem, right? Well, maybe.
As the article points out, it almost feels like [...]

I was reading this article today, as it states that Nokia would be better off simply focusing on netbooks and not bothering with mobile phones at all any longer. I would counter this as I believe, despite its lagging North American popularity these days, that Nokia remains one of the best mobile phone providers out [...]

Clearly this article hits the nail on the head in just about every way. But unless I was asleep when I read the piece, strangely I noted mention of the differences with the networks here in the States for each. Verizon wins big time in both overall coverage and 3G sustainability/access.
But as the piece points [...]

The very idea sounds foreign to me — aggregating conversations. But I guess if you look at what has happened with Facebook and Twitter, this type of thinking has already been put into play. The one thing they have not addressed is turning down the “noise” found in most online conversations so you can participate [...]

Read about this latest “Kindle-Killer” today and I must admit, it sounds interesting. But unlike other eBook readers that completely lacked Amazon’s huge libarary, it appears that B&N might actually have this covered with the Nook eBook reader.
The Nook is thin, looks pretty simple to use and frankly, based on what I am reading, blows [...]

Cloud storage is, in my humble opinion, not ready for prime time. If I had a dollar for every service I tried that failed for one reason or another, I’d be a rich man today. This is not to say that it does not have some place for some users. Rather, putting any real long [...]

Joy of joys, it seems that Skype has been granted AT&T’s blessing and will be able to use their broadband network for VoIP calls after all. Unfortunately, it seems that AT&T’s network for broadband usage remains in the toilet.
But their horrid user experience hardly stops there. No, my wife who is visiting family in Northwest [...]

In a single word - awesome. That is how I would describe using Jinni. For those who love Last.fm and enjoy watching movies while perhaps discovering new content, you are going to love this! What stinks is that it does not look like you can rush out and simply watch a movie like Star Wars [...]

I am a bit annoyed about this — let me explain why. While it is true that generally speaking people would rather do without ads in most of their products, it is also insane to expect people to line up and provide you with services just for the heck of it.
In some cases, this issue [...]

Who didn’t see this coming? The FCC does some checking and finds that ISPs are running at speeds up to 50% slower than being advertised. Not at all surprised when thinking of the cable options, I have found my FiOS, on the other hand, has been spot-on during peak and off-peak period. Clearly, there is [...]

I have been sitting on this for a few days, as I wanted to make sure that I had a chance to really run PlayOn.TV through its paces. After finally completing my tests, I can conclude the following.

Follow the recommendations of the tool provided to tell you if your Windows box has enough RAM/CPU power. [...]

Honestly blows my mind as to what Gmail will require you to do when you find one day someone has hacked your account. Yes, I take crazy steps to protect my own accounts, but I must admit, I think the powers that be at Google need to WAKE UP.
Issue 1) You are in real trouble [...]

Ever heard of a man cave? For those of you who have not, the basic idea is that the man cave is a place in the home of a man who is able to retreat to this location in order to play, work, or just hang out with his friends. Some men might point out [...]

Normally I am not a huge fan of mobile buyouts. After AT&T buying out Cingular years ago, I have found that these types of things make me a little nervous as to how they will affect the customer. And if AT&T has taught me anything with its Cingular buyout, it’s that these things can leave [...]

I must admit that as a fellow full time Linux user myself, I find myself in a similar position as the individual behind this column.This being said, I do disagree with him in a couple of areas. First, while it is true that Vista started off as what I like to call Windows Me part [...]
