    Why a $35 Tablet Would Never Succeed in the U.S.

    If this tablet was sold as an eReader there would be no problems. As someone else mentioned, the Kindle sells just fine. If this was marketed as an eReader with music capability the customers would know what to expect from it before purchasing it. I have seen many cheap tablets/ereaders and...

    Xbox Modding Case Dismissed

    This still does not settle the validity of modding something you own. Unless someone is going to tell me the EULA states that the hardware is only LEASED to the customer (in which case Microsoft owns it) then modding something you own should be perfectly legal. After all, you own it so you can...

    Sony Launches 22" Bravia with Built-In PS2

    As a PS3 owner I have zero interest in playing PS2 games. If Sony had of made it a PS3, and a 28" 1080p TV then I would say it might be a good deal. People purchase TVs with DVD and Bluray built in all the time. Having an HD media player with blu-ray inside your TV would be great (until it...

    Is the PSP Phone a Eureka Moment For Microsoft?

    This is pretty funny: "According to Mobclix, 46 percent of Android users anyway prefer a touchscreen over a keyboard anyway" (nice proof reading BTW) Lol, if 46% of Android users prefer a touchscreen keyboard, that means 54% prefer a real keyboard. On top of this, being a PS3 owner, I can tell...

    27'' ViewSonic LCD Does Full HD, 1ms Response

    It took me quite a bit of hunting before I found a monitor that would go above 1080p. I wanted a monitor that could display 1:1 1080p in a window. I picked up a Samsung 2343BWX 23" 16:9 with a resolution of 2048 x 1152. Works great. Full screen Blu-rays look awesome as well even though they are...

    Live TV Coming to iPhone, iPod Touch

    Great, there goes what's left of the bandwidth already being hogged by a minority of iPhone users. Glad my carrier doesn't sell iPhones and we don't have any bandwidth issues because of it. I agree with whoever said "why would anyone want to watch TV (or a move for that matter) on their mobile...

    CES 2010: 3D Eye Solutions and Glasses-Free 3D

    Shutter, polarized and two colour glasses are all old school. They have all been around since I was a kid in the 70s, and some of them since the 50s. I personally am not going to go out and replace my 1 year old 46" LCD TV just to get 3D. Especially if it requires using archaic glasses. For me...
