admin AWESOME! Verizon’s FiOS service has now been proven to reach 1gbps in a real world setting. Pretty neat, isn’t it? Now if only Verizon would focus on making it available to more people. I’ve looked at the prices of FiOS in comparison to what I pay now with Charter, and I must say that FiOS [...]
August 16th, 2010 admin There’s this app called Camera+ that got pulled by Apple. It was pretty popular, but Apple still felt the need to pull it. Why? Because it allows people to take photos with the volume button, which apparently violates their Human Interface guidelines because it modifies the functions of external buttons. Pretty lame that Apple would [...]
August 13th, 2010 admin So, you know Apple makes rechargeable batteries, right? Well, it turns out those might just be other batteries with Apple branding slapped on and the Steve Jobs tax applied.

August 12th, 2010 admin Google has made it easier for companies to switch to their Chrome browser with the launch of a new MSI version of the browser.

August 11th, 2010 admin In the words of the great philosopher Lil’ Jon, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! Apple has updated their store with Mac Pro models.

I know, soon we’ll all probably have those in [...]
August 10th, 2010 admin Not too surprising, but McAffe has stated that the production of malware has reached a record level in the first six months of the year. The first half of the year saw 10 million new pieces of malicious code cataloged. Yikes. Serves as a reminder that we all need to be running good and up [...]

August 6th, 2010 admin What begins? The end of the internet as we know it! What’s going on? Google and Verizon are possibly working on a deal whereby companies can pay Verizon to give web surfers priority access to their content. However, don’t get scared yet because both companies said last year that they are committed to keeping the [...]
August 5th, 2010 admin The Wall Street Journal has run a pretty interesting feature on the development of IE8. In it, it is revealed that with IE8, Microsoft wanted to make the browser more secure, automatically opting users out of many internet tracking programs. This feature made it into the final IE8 under the name of InPrivate, but it’s [...]
August 5th, 2010 admin Leading security firm, Symantec, has recently done an interesting study. On a daily basis from February to May, they took a look at the top 300 search topics on a leading search engine (probably Google since that’s all we use anyway) and analyzed the top 30,000 results. Their findings were that 1 in every 3 search results [...]
