Tuesday, March 27th, 2007EvDo RevB talks about 9Mbps down. See that SOUNDS like happy news for us EvDo users. But the new rev means a new Qualcomm chipset…in your phone. And that means new phones. So EvDo may be getting faster near the end of this year, but you’ll still have to pay extra for it. And knowing […]

Sunday, March 25th, 2007Albums on the way out? Interesting story following a new band, signed by Universal, who weren’t signed for an album, but just for two songs. Apparently a new approach to an iTunes world. (Source: New York Times)

Friday, March 23rd, 2007Everyone’s reviewing the Apple TV. Why is is it that Apple can come out with a more limited version of something that Slingbox invented a couple of years ago, yet it still makes all the news feeds as tho it were a movie of Britney shaving? I just don’t get it. But at least this […]

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Why IT guys play Dungeons & Dragons. We play it because it’s the most intellectually-stimulating game you can play. As long as you’re playing it with smart people that is. However, this guy has another explanation of why IT geeks play D&D–as if we need one. Sasquatch has never played, so that tells you […]

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007Did Apple organize a smear campaign against security researchers? According to George Ou of ZDNet, they did. He wrote part of it last year and has been sitting on the rest until now. He says that the much-ballyhooed Month of Apple Bugs was a direct result of the smear campaign. (Source: Slashdot)
Okay, here’s a reason […]

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Okay, so I didn’t feel like posting anything other than TiT yesterday. At least I posted something. Sasquatch couldn’t get his fattening ass off the couch to save his life.
The Evil Empire outlines its tech plans for the year. Nope, not Microsoft. The real evil empire: Verizon. They gave an exclusive outlining all their broadband […]

Monday, March 19th, 2007CeBit weirdness: 3D monitors. Will this 3D thing never end? Now cooling maker, Zalman is introing a set of 19- and 22-inch 3D-capable flat displays. You can switch between 3D and 2D modes, but you’ll need the goofy glasses to see 3D. Arg. (Source: Engadget)
More CeBit weirdness: Thought-controlled interface. Remember Clint firing missiles by thinking […]

Thursday, March 15th, 2007We’re back from InfoWorld’s annual editorial retreat–well, I am. Sasquatch had to go to Baltimore and do geek things in someone’s basement. Lessons learned: If you repeatedly put salt & pepper and/or tabasco sauce in Sasquatch’s drinks when he’s not looking he’s liable to get cranky. Who knew?
CeBit 2007 has lengthy landmark lane. Check out […]
