RIM Playbook takes on iPad

The new RIM Playbook was announced today, and is intended to take on Apple’s iPad. Its quite different looking so far, being much smaller with a 7″ screen closer in size to most e-Readers than the iMac. It also has HD 1080p screen definition and dual facing HD cameras.

Prankhouse – Evolution of the Video Game

This is like almost straight out of a Sci-Fi movie.. Reminds me a bit of that movie Gamer with Gerard Butler. You log on from your computer or even your iPhone, and you control Paintball Guns, Shockers or RC Cars and try and take out one of several people living inside a warehouse in LA. [...]

Google Will Take Over the World

See, I’m not the only one that believes that Google will take over the world.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday – Results Mixed

As we look back at this recession, we (at least I) hope to see encouraging Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales – indicators that we are passed the recession and are on a solid road to recovery. Online sales reports have been in, and we are seeing an 11% rise in sales from last year [...]

Windows 7 > Mac OS X

Looks like Windows 7 has single-handedly surpasses Mac OS X market share.. and yes, that’s ALL Max OS X versions. Seeing as Microsoft Windows does have over 92% of all market share this is of course going to be an inevitable trend, but Microsoft’s overall market share has also increased this month, which means that [...]

Technorati Removing Blogs from System

I’ve noticed this happened to a lot of people.. while I don’t really care about Technorati enough to make a fuss (I own 5 blogs and they have all been removed), but its unnerving to see this happening, especially to all the blogs out there that play the linking game to try and work their [...]
