    Google's Stunning Real-Time Voice Translation App

    "English is easy to learn" LOL NO. Tell that to anyone studying as their second language. People who say that English is easy to learn usually have no experience learning another language, and thus have no basis for comparison. English isn't even the world's most widely spoken language. The...

    Apple to Remove Home Button from Next iPhone?

    Physical buttons are ergonomically superior. That's all there is to it. Touchscreen has its uses, but for maximum ease of use, you gotta go buttons. P.S. I have a 10" hand width. I always double key, but it happens a lot less with physical buttons than touchscreen.

    You'll Need to Learn Chinese to Read the Internet

    kingssmanMy question is, is there any good chinese sites? Something that isn't chinese govt sanctioned propaganda I would tell you but I'd get permabanned. I will say that I have a new favourite torrent site though :p I've just started learning my 3rd language, and for everyone who thinks...

    Leaked Android Music Player Contains Hints of 3.0

    Not having physical buttons is a detriment for doing simple tasks that you should be able to do blind (skip track, volume, play/pause, etc). For me to change the song on a keypad, I just reach down and push one button. For me to change the song on a touchscreen, I have to pull the phone out of...

    Don't like the new layout? Stop using Facebook. You don't pay for it so you have no right to complain.

    Kevin Bacon As Kevin Bacon Fan in Google TV Ad

    luc2kHow can I be positive about this, on all the sites I've seen the youtube player embeded, this is the only one that doesn't display that button, and it's not like this is rocked science. And funny, it's a technical shortcoming. Sure the video is funny, but that comment goes on youtube, where...

    News Corp Launching iPad-only Newspaper

    The problem is the content, not the content platform. If I didn't feel patronized everytime I look at the news (irrespective of where it is), I would be more willing to consume it. I know a lot of other people (especially Gen-Y's) feel the same way.

    100 Naked Body Scans Get Posted Online

    I would like to visit the US someday, but knowing that I would have to go through TSA security makes me very reluctant to go. Maybe I can fly to Canada and drive across.

    WP7 Makes Permanent Changes to microSD Card

    ThatConfusedMofoI like how "gogogadgetliver " gets thumbed down for being right. "What you said, whilst true, make me feel uncomfortable. If I make you look bad, it will stop being true." I would say that's how the majority of people on the internet think but unfortunately that's how the...

    Google Gives Googlers Salary Raises, Cash Bonus

    wavetrexRaise, no raise, still a slave you are.Of course, not everyone has the chance to "make it" on their own, without enduring the dictatorship of a corporation, but everyone should.Maybe in a different world, sometime in the future... I agree with the underlying principle, just not how you...

    iPhone 3G Slowness Problems Helped by iOS 4.2?

    Now You Can Surf the Web As You Climb Everest

    eddieroolzEverest is one place I wish was free from technology. Keep it what it is, a challenge against humanity. That would be K2, with a mortality rate of about 25% (not as bad as Annapurna's 40% though). I agree though. I just got back from the country this weekend where I had very...

    Now You Can Surf the Web As You Climb Everest

    Didn't Everest get renamed to Mt Chomolungma? (Tibetan name). Anyway, there's no point watching porn up there, because as soon as you whip it out it'd get frostbite.
