This Is What Touching Your MP3s Looks Like

Digital versus analog is a bitter war with no winner, and shouldn’t be fought in the first place. Listen to your music how you please.

Apple Is Patenting Phone-to-Phone App Sharing

Apple’s latest patent application, revealed today, could add a whole new (and huge) dimension to the exploding smartphone app market: Phone-to-Phone app sharing, with incentives.

Get a Free iPhone 3GS From Best Buy Today

Okay, okay, so you need a new contract, and it’s in-store only, and it’s a previous-generation phone, and it’s only 8GB. But those arguments don’t hold much water against free. Which is Best Buy’s price for an 8GB iPhone 3GS today. [Twitter via MaximumPC]

These Plants Vs. Zombies Toys Are Going Right On My Lawn

All I want for Christmas are some zombies and sentient, weaponized plants to protect me from said zombies. Failing that? These adorable clay figurines that look just like them. Why not the plush adorableness of Angry Birds toys, you ask? Because zombies are serious business. And why the $80 price tag for a set of…

BlackBerry on Verizon: Getting Smoked By Android

A little over a year ago, BlackBerry made up 90% of smartphone sales at Verizon. Now? They’ve dropped down to less than 20% with Android taking over the rest. It’s crazy. In the chart from ITG Investment Research, you can correlate the date of when each manufacturer boosted its share with a specific device: Motorola…

12 Cavernous Cargo Holds

Cargo bays are built to hold big things—really big things, like the Atlantis space shuttle. They’re impressive when they’re doing their job, but when cargo holds are empty, the term spacious takes on a whole new meaning.

WWF Is a New Green File Format That’s Impossible To Print

The rabble rousers at the World Wildlife Fund (they re-named fake wrestling!) have created a new, PDF-type file format called WWF. It’s a file format that CANNOT be printed out.

If you’re a headset devotee, you’ll know that they don’t always stay put on your ear.

This Camera Is More Popular Than I Am

Next time I take out a piece of handsome gadgetry on a plane, I…do not expect to get this reaction. Were things really that much more fun in the 60s? I never expected to be so jealous of a Leica. Advertising needs to take a page from this vintage shot—forget spec sheets, viral videos, and…

Why Most Hardware Specs Are Total Bullshit

To measure is to know, said Lord Kelvin. But as marketing departments get more and more creative with their published specifications, what we’re left measuring—and by extension, knowing—about our gear is increasingly worthless. With the gadget-buying squarely in season, most of us will soon be turning to those ubiquitous columns of numbers, ratios, and percentages…

Famed Finnish mobile developer Rovio has announced a PC version of its smash physics game, along with its “Bad Piggy Bank” in-app carrier payment system for the Android release.
