Tablet computers abound

I’m finding more tablet computers that are on par with the iPad from a spec sheet point of view, and in some key ways, are actually better. Like this one. This Eken M001 has an SD memory card in addition to USB ports. It can also hold 32 GB of info. I think it might [...]

Twitter your books

If you’ve ever wanted to share with your friends the book you are currently reading, now you can do so instantly with the help of Amazon’s e-reader. They just released an update that will allow users to access Twitter and Facebook. Again, I still want to make sure I can highlight passage for later reference [...]

How do you feel about this one?

If you’ve been following the news in the tech world, you probably have heard the name Gray Powell. For the uninitiated, Gray Powell works for Apple, took a device from the R&D department with him one night and left it in a bar accidentally. Someone else picked it up and tech site Gizmodo got their [...]

Craig Ferguson gets a robot sidekick

Grant Imahara, of Mythbusters fame, has been working on a robot sidekick for late night talk show host Craig Ferguson. The deal was struck over Twitter and was revealed last night. Imahara has worked on animatronic robots for movies so he’s able to make this robot’s jaw move, light up the eyes as well as [...]

3D tech now…for a SMALL price

No, I’m not referring to a supposed swindle in the price of this new technology that can create 3D images.  Sharp introduced a new screen capable of 3D imagery.  What’s so great about that? There’s no need for the combersome 3D glasses and the picture is crystal clear. The drawback? The screen is only 3 [...]

Some iPads will ship late

If you pre-ordered an iPad and were expecting it to be in your hands by the April 3 ship date, you may be waiting a little more. Apple apparently has so many pre-orders for the tablet that they are having trouble matching the demand. The first batch will ship on April 2 as planned, but [...]

The next generation is coming

Internet too slow for you? Why not wait and switch to wireless technology for surfing the net. Sprint is set to introduce the next generation of wireless network, 4G. This trechnology will make cell phones surf the net faster than computers, at least that is what the experts are predicting. Just as with any new [...]

When fanboys go too far

There is a 31 year old British citizen who was removed from his job for not removing his hood.  Why was he wearing the hood? Because he’s a Jedi.  That’s right, he is part of the Jedi religion. Apparently, Jedi followers are allowed to wear hoods. Now, I’m not going to turn this into a [...]

This is too rich

There is a New Zealand company producing jetpacks for civilian purchase.  That’s right, plunk down $100,000 and you can fly yourself home. The company that makes these is hoping to be able to mas produce and sell them by years end. Now, there are a lot of hurdles to overcome, so don’t think you can finance [...]

The jokes are too numerous

These are not being mass produced yet, but the fact that someone desinged these is nothing short of amazing. You are looking at a fully functioning keyboard built into a pair of jeans. These jeans can connect to a computer via a wireless USB and even have peripheral devices like speakers in the knees. What’s [...]
