Why Aren’t I the Center of the Apple Universe?

You can sum up the most frustrating thing about being an Apple customer in three little words: “Connect to iTunes.” As a Google customer, life is easy: one log-in account; access to all your files from any computer; and soon, a smearing of the line between desktop and mobile device, as Android gains the ability…

Verizon and iPad Are Getting Cozy

According to the generally reliable Boy Genius Report, Verizon Wireless is in the process of testing iPads compatible with their CDMA network, along with a 4G model. An iPad on Verizon?

PS3 Twistdock Manages Uncommon Tastefulness

When I hear “console docking station,” I picture some Walmart bargain bin monstrosity, the result of an unprotected courtship between a plastic paper tray and one of those sports-themed remote caddies. But the swiveling PS3 Twistdock doesn’t look so bad! Accommodating both the original PS3 and the PS3 Slim, the Twistdock not only holds a…

Samsung NX5 Hybrid DSLR Shaves Price—and Features—From NX10

However strange it seemed for Samsung to launch a new camera category with the NX10 hybrid DSLR—which puts a DSLR-sized sensor in a smaller body—they’re sticking with it. Hence the NX5: a cheaper, slightly less capable NX10. Details are a little foggy still as to what exactly you’ll be giving up to jump down the…

Microsoft (Obviously) Claims Google Employees Would Be Better Off Sticking With Windows

Microsoft really didn’t like that a Google employee went public, telling the world the big G is swapping employees’ computers from Windows to Chrome, OS X and Linux. They’ve responded in a particularly sarky way, calling it “ironic”: Windows communications manager Brandon LeBlanc retorted via a corporate blog post: “Would it make any difference if…

Anti-STD propaganda posters kept our boys’ flagpoles clean

Back in the day, venereal disease was the bane of the bored and horny soldier, and military propaganda posters resorted to sensationalist tactics to make privates scared of their privates.
