    The computing power in the latest smartphones is impressive and it opens up an opportunity that may appeal to many and that is to make your smartphone the central & sole computing device in your life.

    Battlestar Galactica 'Blood and Chrome' Debuts on YouTube

    One movie? That's all we get? Normally I'd wait for the DVD so I can watch the whole thing, but if YouTube views might possibly result in more episodes, I'll view the frakking hot damn out of it.

    The WJE168 Turntable You've Never Seen Before

    It's all about the portability and convenience. Most people don't own their own houses with custom home-theater/audio listening rooms and can't even turn up their stereos without getting evicted, so they go with pocket players and headphones/earbuds. For them, the increased audio quality of...

    Say Watt? Tom's Guide Power Challenge

    I canceled my cable service and hardly ever watch my 32" LCD TV now. The cable box was a dirty little power whore. I still have the cable internet modem and wireless router running all the time. I just got a 10" Netbook with the Atom n450 (something like 10 watts total system and I'm typing on...

    VIDEO: How Cats and Dogs React to the iPad

    Poor dog. He tried to tell his owner that the technology was beyond his comprehension but the owner wouldn't take "no" for an answer. "Stop trying to make me look stupid. This is more of your human techno stuff, which you know darn well I don't have enough brains to cope with. I don't even have...

    VIDEO: How Cats and Dogs React to the iPad

    It's obvious that the cat brain can't comprehend something which reacts to touch but doesn't have 3 dimensions. They can deal with nature, but our man-made stuff gives 'em fits, unless it's warm and then they'll lay on it.

    The REAL iPad Review

    I just bought an Asus Eee PC for $355.00. It has a real keyboard, Windows 7, new Intel Atom N450 cpu, 1GB DDR2 memory (expandable to 2GB), 250GB HDD, Multi-card reader/writer, WiFi & Bluetooth, VGA out, 3 usb2.0 ports, mic, headphones jacks AND "up to 14hr battery life". I think that if you want...

    DivX Overhaul Brings Free 1080 HD Conversion

    Yeah, but think of those poor DivX wretches! x264 came along and wiped them clean off into obsolescence. They've got nothing now. They're living on cat-food and rainwater caught in a bucket from the gutters on their 6-month rental office. Their only hope is to take somebody else's free stuff and...

    Thief's SUV Gets Gas Pedal Disabled by OnStar

    Did the thief pee in the pool? Did OnStar disable his weenie? I've have reading comprehension problems and slight retardation.

    Boeing Successfully Tested Laser Cannon

    and since your Cell-Phone provides GPS position feedback, you need only say a couple of wrong words like "terror" & "bomb" to be reduced to a smoking pair of boots by the curbside.

    Google: Download a Million Books for Free

    What's wrong with just scanning them? As long as they don't publish the copyrighted works, I don't see a problem. Perhaps, the lawyers can sue them for looking at 'em sideways as well!

    Palm Says Apple is Abusing USB ID to Block Pre

    The customer is always right and the customers always want maximum versatility to transfer anything to anything and play anything on anything. In the long run, companies that fail to appreciate this spiral down the crapper.

    For reasons beyond human comprehension, Belkin can't manufacture so much as a bag tie for less than $175.00.

    Nasa Says ISS Coming Down in 2016

    So where's the cure for cancer and all the incredible new technologies that the ISS was supposed to achieve through zero-G research? Wasn't that the promise that got everybody to fork out billions to begin with? "Oh, we're sorry. Turns out we don't actually need a lab in space after all. We...
