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 [...]

At first the prospect of being able to use something outside of the Kindle as an eBook reader actually made me think there might be hope here. While Kindle on the iPhone is great, the standalone model is not welcome in my home. $300 for what again? Please…
Here we’ve got color, cool functionality (even if [...]

It was not all that long ago that I had settled into a really great Samsung plasma TV, yet we are already moving on to OLED! Skipped LCD altogether as the model of Samsung I had addressed the usual gripes with plasma - no issues with burn in, gaming works well, and the picture is [...]

Due to the success of the previous article on podcasting with your Skype software, I thought I might elaborate a bit on some other tools that you might find helpful. Obviously for many single user audio podcasts, there is the need for doing interviews or simply recording audio either looped through cables or with special [...]

I have been a fan of the Jitterbug concept for what feels like years now. Provide a simple to use, easy to understand mobile phone that is truly usable for those who are less than tech savvy. Some have tried to classify this as a “phone for seniors,” but I would counter that most flip-phones [...]
