Sony Ericsson Sales Drop By Almost Half in One Quarter

Sony Ericsson, the world’s 4th biggest handset maker, has reported a titanic sales decrease of almost 50% in just a few months. This is a bad thing, you see. Reuters slapped a scary headline on this story, but it couldn’t really be described as sensational. As much a terrifying portent of electronics companies’ coming year…

The Watchmen Xbox 360 Looks Like a Pretty Butterfly

I looked at the Watchmen 360. I tried to pretend it looked like a spreading tree, shadows pooled beneath it, but it didn’t. It looked more like a dead cat I once found, the fat, glistening grubs writhing blindly, squirming over each other, frantically tunneling away from the light. But even that is avoiding the…

Palm CEO Confirms That, Yes, There Will Be More WebOS Phones

It was a safe guess from the start, but the Pre won’t be Palm’s only WebOS handset. In fact, they’re already promising an entire roadmap of new smartphones based on the slick OS. https://gizmodo.com/palm-pre-the-definitive-guide-and-faq-5133554 The announcement accompanied a particularly bloody quarterly report, which is perhaps why Palm felt it necessary in the first place—when you’re…

Windows Mobile 6.5 Honeycomb Menu Gets De-Honeycombed

Now that the public has made their sundry judgments about Windows Mobile 6.5’s UI overhaul, Microsoft has made a few changes. Most obviously, they’ve removed the honeycomb. OH GOD! https://gizmodo.com/windows-mobile-6-5-hands-on-the-new-interface-rocks-5154385 Well, mostly. The Honeycomb Inexplicably Offset Icon Grid is still arranged in the same way, but the actual honeycomb graphics—that is, the hexagonal icon containers…

Get Catty With The New Wolverine Trailer

A new trailer for May’s Wolverine movie showcases the weird lion growl that you’ll hear every time Sabretooth pounces.

Nintendo might be planning on taking on the iPhone and iPod Touch with an app download service of its own, and has been encouraging developers to come up with app-like content for the DSi.

These Carbon Nanotube Muscles Are 30 Times Stronger Than Human Muscles

These next gen carbon nanotube muscles have “diamond-like” stiffness side to side, but are as flexible as rubber when moved perpendicularly.

Rumored Toyota Hybrid Sportscar is Prius-based

The thing that’s always kept me from wanting a hybrid car is that they aren’t all that fast. And the ones that are fast cost too much money.

Leominster in the Future (postcard circa 1910) At the turn of the 20th century, the postcard seemed to be a popular medium with which to imagine the future.
