Star Wars fans, if you can handle a WTF moment of epic proportions, then I beg you – watch this clip. It is disco Star Wars. And no, I’m not talking about a cleverly edited fan video from 2011. No, this is an actual clip from the disco era, apparently from some obscure French TV […]

As the days get cooler and we begin to retreat into couch-potato mode instead of going on those long bike rides and walks, it’s easy to pack on a few pounds and lose a little of that hard-earned muscle you’ve been building up all summer. However, designer Seung-il Kim is making it easy for you […]

It doesn’t take a self-help author to see that Android and iOS users tend to be different breeds. Anyone who has read blogs devoted to either platform has seen it. Hardcore Android fans tend to measure devices more on technical specs and the ability to customize. Apple loyalists, on the other hand, lean towards enjoying […]

Amazon’s Kindle Fire is the hottest tablet on the market that isn’t an iPad, and it’s not even available yet. The initial pace of orders has slowed slightly, down from 2,000 per hour to about 1,000 per hour. Nevertheless, the Kindle Fire has already done something it took RIM’s BlackBerry PlayBook more than a full […]

There is no denying that, while it marked the death of the OS, the HP Touchpad sold a ton of units when at that $99 price point. I commented shortly after the price drop that every tablet should be $99, arguing that a service based business model and not a hardware business model would carry […]

Samsung has already teased that something big is coming, and the odds-on favorite is that they’re talking about the next flagship Android device, the Nexus Prime. Earlier this week, the bottom-left corner of the Nexus Prime made the rounds, though it revealed little more than its 720×1280 display. Now, additional specs have been leaked. In […]

Now that the iPhone 4S has been announced, you can bet that Samsung and Google will be doing everything in their power between now and October 11th, when these two companies will take stage to unveil their latest collaboration. The blogosphere erupted in disappointment as Apple’s conference came to a close without some earth shattering re-invention […]

  As we sift through the information we’ve gleaned from yesterday’s iPhone 4S announcement, one of the details that left a little bit of fuzziness was in the advertised download speeds that Apple boasted. Specifically, they displayed a slide that shows impressive download speeds that rival those of 4G Android phones. Unfortunately, this was somewhat deceptive, […]

We’re mere minutes away from the official announcement of the next iPhone, and we still have information coming in. It appears that Apple’s Japanese site has leaked info about the launch of the iPhone 4S on October 14. When the leaks come from Apple’s own website, that’s about as big a confirmation as you can […]

As technology advances, so does music. We’ve gone from listening to music on old 45- and 78-RPM vinyl records, to listening to it on 8-tracks, cassettes, CDs, and then digital. It’s rare to see someone listening to music on anything other than an iPod or iPhone these days. Walkmen and portable CD players are long […]
