If you think about it—really think about it—or even half-assedly think about it—this Void VO2 Retrograde watch isn’t so different from an iMac. But whereas an iMac* focuses on its glass screen accented by a tiny strip of aluminum, this Void centerpieces its brushed stainless steel—the informationless void of the watch, if you will—as much…

Sony Says Up to Half Its HDTVs Will be 3D in 2012

LEAK: The Google Phone “Is a Certainty”

According to a trusted source who’s seen it with their own eyes, the Google Phone “is a certainty.” https://gizmodo.com/the-true-google-phone-may-be-coming-soon-5407245 And by “Google Phone” we don’t simply mean another Android handset.

The Nook Launch Is Gonna Be a Flustercuck

I’m convinced Barnes & Noble has no idea what the hell they’re doing.

Apple Rejects iDroid App (Thankfully)

Sure, a Motorola Droid-style glowing red eye sounds cool, but the iDroid app would not have actually replicated any Droid features. In fact, it would have been little more than an ad spewing marketing propaganda once you tapped on it. The Motorola Droid is a great handset—it doesn’t need crapware advertising to sell itself.

Department of Defense Buys 2,200 PS3s to Upgrade Supercomputer

Apparently the Department of Defense believes that PS3s are a better value when it comes to supercomputers than IBM products specifically designed for the purpose.
