My immediate reaction following the conclusion of Steve Jobs’ iPad keynote was a lack of any kind of reaction at all. It was more indifference. I needed to absorb what I had just been shown, but I wasn’t sure why. The second reaction was confusion, because I couldn’t exactly understand why I wasn’t feeling anything [...]

Apple defied all expectations today by announcing a ten-inch iPhone rather than their expected Tablet computer, resulting in a massive embarrassment for news outlets, stock holders, and trending Twitter topics. The upgraded 3G touch screen will feature enhanced versions of all aspects of the iPhone, and include an “iBooks” app and its own version of [...]

Like G-mail, Google Maps, Google Books, Google News, Google Earth, Google Chrome, and www.google.com, Google has just come out with something incredibly useful and very innovative that’s free, sending a big message to all other corporations out there that charge for those very things (Garmin learned the hard way).

Recently, Apple’s oft-rumored Tablet device has done nothing but build up in hype, despite the fact that Apple has never confirmed a word of what’s been said.

UHDV projects in resolutions of 7680 x 4320 and 3840 x 2160 (32 million pixels), effectively making [...]

Video games often come under extreme criticism for lacking the artistic and intelligent ambitions that literature or film can bring to a narrative. The reality is actually that such games do exist (in fact, if you know where to look they’re quite common), but are simply overshadowed by big-budget action titles or standard sequel fare. Such [...]

I thought we’d reached the worst when CTA Digital released a bowling ball peripheral for the Nintendo Wii but apparently, that was just to brace us for what was yet to come. On November 10, 505 Games will release Baby & Me, a mini-game collection centered around child-rearing. Not content with simply having their four-year-old [...]

Do the consequences of letting students perform private activity on their university-provided network outweigh the alternative: network monitoring? It’s an ongoing debate I had mostly shied away from, not because I don’t care (I’m a poor, media-loving, computer-hogging, liberal arts major – read between the lines) but because I had accepted Boston University’s freshman orientation [...]
