I must wonder what the practical application of this really is. Do we really need robots flipping our pancakes? However, they do have another video on this site that shows a robotic arm learning to to iron clothes. Now that’s something useful! So take a look at this site and see what the future of [...] […]

When I was a kid around this time of year, feelings of dread would start to creep in on me. It was back to school time and nothing could stop the inevitable march back to the jail cells they called classrooms … well at least it felt that way to me! Anyway, some kids would [...] […]

- submitted by Nancy Slater A: This question could be rephrased, “which smartphone besides the iPhone do you recommend?” Users who don’t have AT&T’s service (i.e. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc.) can not yet get an iPhone, so I get questions like this quite often. However, answering this isn’t so easy. But I do have some [...] […]

This month, I’d thought I would highlight a couple of apps that run on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. One app I found to be very helpful and the other I found to be lots of fun. Even if you don’t own an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, it is worth reading about these [...] […]

Just the fact that it has been given a “-gate” moniker shows that the publicity regarding the alleged antenna flaw with the new iPhone 4 has reached widespread proportions. Already this week has been hot and heavy with iPhone 4 antenna-related news and today seems especially heavy. It all started on Monday with Consumer Reports [...] […]

And no that’s not a typo, it was in fact only 6 WEEKS after releasing the Kin that they cancelled these phones. Rumors abound that they only sold [...] […]

An article on Forbes.com states that if Apple starts selling the iPhone on Verizon, it could damage the momentum Google has built up for the Android devices. I’ve said in the past (here and here) that even just a rumor that an iPhone would be available on a particular network could be enough to damage [...] […]

For some reason, I crack up when words are bleeped out. I don’t know why exactly, but I think I find it funnier than if the words were just left un-bleeped. Perhaps the bleeping invokes a Pavlovian response? Regardless, if you find bleeping as funny as I do, then you’ll love these commercials for the [...] […]

I have written about inductive chargers before but it has been a long time since I had seen any new developments in this technology. I had begun to think that inductive charging was not going to gain significant traction in the marketplace. But that was before I discovered the Energizer Flat Panel Induction Charge System [...] […]

A: I have gotten this question a lot recently. The key is trying to stop updates only from those particular apps, not all updates from a friend. I seemed to recall that there was a way to do it, but it involved a few non-intuitive steps. But once I researched it, I found that as [...] […]
