As consumers, we all have an ongoing relationship with electronic products, becoming increasingly dependent on them every single day. As a result, we are often swamped with complex information about gadgets and features, a frequently mind-boggling task. This is where Visuali.se comes in to help.
Visuali.se (www.visuali.se) is a pioneering, [...]
I have had bad experiences with a few web hosts, and it’s a big deal. When servers are down, or data is lost – it impacts the user in a big, annoying way. For both big and small businesses, it’s never okay for a website to suffer technical issues due to the hosting company.
I [...]
Thanks a lot, Mattel. Although, I can’t really blame you – it was an obvious intellectual rights infringement. However, that doesn’t stop me from pining for Scrabulous.
One of the few Facebook (third party, of course) apps worth having, is now blocked in pretty much everyone’s neck of the woods, seemingly permanently. [...]
There’s kind of neat news coming out of Sunrise Solar Corp regarding a solar sunroof they are developing. The solar sun-roof, which would replace a traditional automobile sun-roof, is said to provide enough electricity to recharge a car’s batteries, and either cool or warm a parked car.
Perhaps that doesn’t sound like [...]
Many broadband carriers like to offer free laptops as part of an incentive to choose their services over the competition. It’s actually a pretty good deal, as long as you are signing up with a reputable carrier, with reasonable terms that meet your broadband needs.
Now, if you’re looking into a new service [...]
While enjoying some Sunday StumbleUpon, I came across this post, and thought I’d help spread the word. Basically, in an effort to promote safe sex, and combat the rising AIDS epidemic in India, BBC World Service Trust has released a new ring-tone, titled “Condom, Condom!”
While I personally won’t be adding it [...]
The rumor is back, and if it’s true, iTunes can charge my visa card right now, because it would be a heck of deal for music connoisseurs, like myself.
An anonymous tip is currently circulating the blogs-of-Mac-worship, buzzing that Apple is preparing to launch an unlimited downloads, iTunes subscription service. If it’s true, other [...]
When most of us think of technology, it’s thoughts of fun and convenience that come to mind- video games systems, big screen televisions, cellphones, iPods, that kind of stuff. But there is another side to the story, technology that goes further than just providing entertainment, but actually contributes something valuable to society.
A current example [...]
If you like music and movies (who doesn’t) it is very likely that, at some point, you would want to convert these types of media from one format to another. One example where converting media may be essential applies if a person wants to listen to music not just on their desktop computer, but also [...]
Apple is smokin’ — literally this time. Reports out of Japan indicate that users of first Generation iPod Nanos (circa 2005), have experienced battery problems resulting in the unit emitting smoke. This is mostly likely to occur during battery recharge, as the battery and subsequently the unit overheat. I know, I couldn’t believe there [...]
