    Unwatchable Avatar: Hollywood Greed Could Kill 3D

    Like millions of others, I saw Avatar last weekend. I loved it—despite the 3D, not because of it. Admittedly, my seat was shitty and I wear eyeglasses, but if the experience isn't guaranteed, 3D will fail. Updated More »

    My Second iMac Is Busted, Too

    My first iMac arrived with a jaundiced screen, so Apple sent me a replacement. After unpacking, it took only moments for me to diagnose the system as being flawed in the exact same manner. Yes friends, I'm two for two! More »

    It's Time To Reclaim "Geek"

    It's Time For Us to Fight Back Against Movie Theater Talkers

    Most of us already know that it's NOT socially acceptable to talk during a movie. But to those of us who weren't born in a barn, these rude movie-goers are still a constant burden. It's time to fight back, dirty. More »

    Why Does a Mom Tweet Her Son's Death In Near-Real Time?

    A long time ago, my ex-wife had two miscarriages. We could barely speak after that. Maybe that's why I can't understand how someone can tweet the death of her two-year-old son almost in real time. That's what Shellie Ross did. More »

    How Carriers and Phone Makers Are Strangling Android (And How Google Could Save It)

    The Google Phone could be a ploy to upset the wireless industry, or it could be an expensive niche device. Either way, it'd be a bid to take Android back from the companies that seem hell-bent on destroying it. More »

    Why We All Need to Calm Down About the Google Phone

    If you've seen the internet (or Giz) this weekend, you've heard about it: the "real Google phone" that "changes everything." But before we get carried away, a counterpoint: Google isn't magic. And the Nexus One isn't a game-changer. Not yet. More »

    Analyst Claims iPhone Users Are Suffering From "Stockholm Syndrome"

    You may have heard the term Stockholm Syndrome used in reference to hostages that form bizarre attachments to their captors. Analysts from Strand Consulting are using the same term to describe iPhone owners. More »

    What the Game Industry Could Learn from the Film Industry

    I've got the Monsters, Inc. Blu-ray in my hand. But it's more than just a Blu-ray. It's a BD for my PS3, a DVD for my bedroom and a digital copy for my laptop. More »

    Why I Hate Ereaders, And Doubt They'll Ever Hit the Mainstream

    It started with Sony. Like most poorly thought-out format ideas from the Japanese titan, 2004's Librie ereader promised a revolutionary new way to perform an act you never realized needed an overhaul. Reading. More »

    It's Time To Make Phone OSes Work On Any Phone

    VMWare is making noise about smartphone virtualization again, claiming their new system will run two operating systems at once, sorta. It's a compelling idea! But even more, it's a reminder: Why the hell can't we choose our smartphone's OS, again? More »

    Time's Manhattan Project Will Explode Like the Atomic Bomb It Is

    TechCrunch's Erick Schonfeld got a sneak peek at Time Inc's "Manhattan Project", a digital magazine designed to run on tablet computers, including the fabled Apple tablet. And it's going to rock because that's exactly what people crave for: INTERACTIVE MAGAZINES!!! More »

    Spanish Government Destroys P2P and Basic Freedoms

    The Government of Spain, one of the last bastions of legal peer-to-peer file sharing, has approved a law that'll obliterate some of the most basic human rights, like freedom of speech and due process. All in the name of money. More »

    Where Is My iPhone Videochat, Apple?

    Dear Apple and AT&T: I have had enough of this. Tell me, why don't we have videochat on the iPhone, you assclowns? Whatever excuse you may have, I'm here to destroy it. More »

    Dual-Sided Blu-ray/DVD Discs: What the Hell Took So Long?

    HD DVD made dual-sided HD DVD/DVD combo discs in 2006. They even announced a dual-sided HD DVD/Blu-ray disc in January 2007. So why the fuck did it take three more years to make a Blu-ray/DVD combo? More »

    You Don't Need a TiVo Anymore

    This chart of TiVo's slipping subscriber numbers may be surprising, seeing as TiVo is the television recording device (and it's so good), but it's something we've seen coming for a while. We love you TiVo, but you're fast becoming obsolete. More »

    The TwitterPeek Is So Dumb It Makes My Brain Hurt

    I still can't believe the TwitterPeek exists. It's a portable device that only does Twitter. Seriously, who the hell would spend $200 on this? Am I crazy here? More »

    So Long Nipples, This Time You Won't Be Missed

    I hate my Mighty Mouse. It gets so dirty so quickly. And that damn scroll nipple—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's why I want the new Apple Magic Mouse, the second Apple mouse with no buttons whatsoever. More »

    Why I Think E-Ink Readers Are Dumb

    The future of media isn't on paper. And a device just dedicated to replicating dead trees is a waste of time. Let me show you why electronic ink's virtues don't matter as much as its weaknesses do. More »

    How Did NASA Manage to Make a Moon Bombing Boring???


    Really? This was it? Some choppy footage and few dudes high-fiving in what we're pretty sure to be a Kinko's? This is what it looks like when Man bombs the moon at 5,600mph?? More »
