June is almost upon us, folks. There could be a new Mac or a new iPhone and the iPhone 3.0 OS is about to drop. Exciting! Even more so is that Apple is now having developers test its push-notification service. The Associated Press news app is the first to use it and if you have an ADC account, you can ...

While I don’t see Wolfram Alpha becoming a total Google-killer, I can see it gaining a lot of ground in the coming weeks. The “computational search engine” launches tonight at 7pm PDT and will finally be available to the public after a brief webcast. Wolfram Alpha looks badass though, as you could totally use it to solve complex mathematical problems ...

Back in 1994, I played a game that utilized Apple Quicktime to the fullest extent. It was hard as shit, looked beautiful and was called Myst. While I never got into the sequels, the original is the one that really brought the first-person puzzle genre to light. Now, if you’ve got an iPhone that’s hopefully 16GB, you can buy Myst ...

Why pirate Adobe’s software when you can just use their brand and image without permission? Exactly my point. That’s clearly what the creator of these Creative Suite pillows had in mind. Instead of calling it an “Illustrator pillow” or a “Photoshop pillow,” this site chose to say “Blue Pillow with ‘Ps’ Lettering.” Trickery at its finest. $80 for the whole ...

Been wondering how the Palm Pre is going to look? After all, how could it possibly rival the GUI of Apple’s epic iPhone? Well, I suppose Palm could blatantly copy Apple’s style of menus and what not. Yeah. In fact, I think I’m going to go with that as my final answer. This thing looks like a cheap hunk of ...

Rumors of an upcoming Samsung phone running Google’s Android OS were abound throughout the first quarter of this year. Now Samsung has laid those to rest and announced the I7500, an Android-powered phone that will drop in Europe this June and has already landed in Korea. What can it do? Aside from all your basic media playback bullshit (MP3, videos, ...

Sometimes, when I’m bored, I’ll get a girl pregnant. I stay with her for nine months and once that baby pops out, I grab it right out of the doctor’s hands and start shaking that little porker as hard as I possibly can. At least that’s what Apple would like you to believe. They removed the 99-cent “Baby Shaker” app ...

Alright. Stick with me on this one. You crazy Europeans love to created weird names for products, like The Mirror by Violet. That being said, The Mirror’ is one of the neatest gadgets I’ve seen in a long time. Hook the $60 plate up to your Mac or PC and get ready to read some RFID tags. The set includes ...

The other week, IBM was going to buy Sun and the world seemed to be in equilibrium. But that deal fell through and Sun was left standing in the middle of the street with its pants down. Lucky for J. Schwartz & Co., Larry Ellison’s Oracle Corporation decided to use flex its power and purchase Sun Microsystems for about $7.4 ...

Dance party time! This has been on the top of my application wish list as long as I can remember having one. According to an industry executive in the know, Hulu is developing a “badass” iPhone application which would allow users to watch video over both Wi-Fi and 3G connections. While other video web applications have taken a stab at ...
