As most of us remember, the Blackberry Storm 1 sucked fairly badly. So when I heard about the release of a Blackberry 2 phone being called an iPhone killer yet again. Frankly, I am beyond doubtful. This is not to say that the new Blackberry is not worth taking a look at, simply the fact [...]

Sometimes Ballmer is so out of touch it hurts. This is clearly one of those moments. According to the Microsoft CEO, your desktop or notebook is all the eBook reader you should ever need. Uh, then why is my wife using her Kindle app for the iPhone like it was dispensing candy then? Simple, because [...]

At first glance, I thought this reminded me a bit of the Apple iMac. But then I noticed it had more of a tablet appearance to it. Upon closer inspection, this POS looks to be like nothing more than some sort of social media toy for people with more money than commonsense.
The really sad part [...]

Like most iPhone owners, access to various software applications on the iPhone are a large part of what made mobile platform such a success. Great for Apple, but what about seeing such a thing on the TV sets we use today?
I discovered from this article, that DirecTV and FiOS are both looking into taking much [...]

Sorry Palm, Google Voice is busy seeing other mobile products. Perhaps you can see if it’s less than attractive cousin, the existing carrier is interested instead? This might as well be what is happening as Palm tries to woo Google over to their way of thinking.
The problem is that Google is looking at giving no [...]

At risk of saying too little, too late, I am not all that sure RIM playing catch up in the mobile browser space honestly matters at this point. Even funnier, RIM is talking about catching up by NEXT SUMMER. Really, they must be kidding?
Where the BlackBerry wins clearly is with the QWERTY keyboard. And even [...]

So it is really no secret that the BlackBerry App World has been less than a stellar success in contrast to Apple App Store. But rather than seeing RIM giving up, they are going to try an approach that is actually rather clever. Enter MyBlackBerry.
Rather than spending a lot of time trying to convince people [...]

It’s sort of weird to hear of Apple’s co-foundering being a fan of anything coming out of Microsoft these days. But sure enough, here it is. Truth be told, I think that Bing unlike other Microsoft led search efforts, will either succeed with amazing success or fail worse than anything in years past. There will [...]

There have been a number of individuals who have said that there is no way the Kindle will make a dent in any market at all. And to be fair, as Steve Jobs once pointed out, there is not enough active readers to warrant the sale of such an eBook device. But flash forward to [...]

Microsoft has a problem. Despite the fact that Windows 7 is by far, the best chance they have to undue the mess they made with Vista’s lack luster excitement with performance and abilities, many people will either switch to OS X or just stick with XP. While I do not pretend to speak for everyone [...]

Hey Chris,
I have been planning on getting a Mac Pro for a while, and since my last Mac purchase with the first-gen Intel MacBook, I’ve been keeping an eye on MacRumors’ “when to buy” page and other news to make sure that any future Apple purchases don’t happen right before a release.
I [...]

Is the Macintosh for everyone? Here’s a list to test if you should switch to Mac.

Go to an Apple Store or visit a friend who has a Mac and see if you can limit yourself to using a Mac for a couple of days. I am a big [...]

AppleInsider has the latest roundup of rumors in the Mac world: sub-notebooks will be coming out with a sub-$1500 pricetage, and there will be a 3G iPhone in June.
“In a just-aired broadcast on CNBC, the network’s Jim Goldman reported that a source close to Apple’s manufacturing facilities has confirmed that the company will launch its [...]

Ever since I purchased my PowerBook (TiBook) back in 2002, I’ve really come to dislike widescreen displays on computers. I don’t get it. What world are most of you working in? Sure, for movies they’re great but for work? I’m not an accountant so I have no need to go right but rather down. Web [...]

So here I am convincing my friend to ditch his PC and go with a new MacBook Pro for the past month. I loaded him up with the last five months of Macworld and gave him a personal 30-minute demonstration on my MacBook Pro (Rev A). We talked and I answered all his tough questions. [...]

So here I am, working next to my MacBook Pro, which has its pretty lid closed and a glowing white light coming from the latch release. “Yup, saving power,” I think as I work on other things. But then I hear the SuperDrive mechanism going and stop what I’m doing to look at the Mac. [...]

We’ve all read about the mooing and whining of the MacBook Pro and how it’s one pretty hot notebook (and we don’t mean that in the slang term.) For me, I’ve had little issue with my Rev. A MacBook Pro. Sure, I had a battery that gained some weight and bloated out, but [...]

So Apple is having its fun calling Vista a copycat and Vista 2.0 Leopard. Kinda reminds me of the Windows95 campaign of the duck thing. But you know what? Leopard ain’t that big of a deal. I mean, let’s look at what’s new.
Spaces: Ya, it’s nice and all but truth is [...]

Where was the aluminum iPod? The glossy MacBook? Tabbed Finder? Windows Virtualization? Didn’t Scobel say there was too many surprises to let slip ’cause Jobs would have his head? (Leo said this on Episode 64 of TWiT.) I don’t know, I like Time Machine a ton, and the Mac Pro [...]

SvenOnTech reported on Apple’s release of the wireless Mighty Mouse Tuesday and while a few things are new, such as no cord and being laser guided, the big thing that keeps sticking out to us isn’t the fact that it can now be easily lost as your cordless phone but rather its $80 price tag.
