    Google funds Raspberry Pi computers

    It's official! I'm moving to the UK and going back to school! Why can't more governments do this? Allowing some of the tech giants to do something for free, without asking for bribes, and burying everything under a ton of paperwork. Hmmm...not flaming or anything, really, but what has Apple...

    Abrams to direct Star Wars film

    Maybe I'm way too much of a SW geek. Maybe i've been reading too many books and comics and watching the old movies waay too many times, I don't know... Bottom line YES! I really think the next SW movie will crush and burn. Don't get me wrong. I'd feel bad, if proven correct. I want the next...

    Abrams to direct Star Wars film

    "The best the next one will be" say you? Happen, that will not! Yoda aside, that really can't happen with the guy that butchered Star Trek directing. The only redeemable quality that movie had was Zoe Saldana. I was kinda hoping George Lucas will make something of an...apologetic movie. Sort of...

    Apple revenues miss expectations

    Let's do a little worst-case-scenario-math. Unit cost for a single iPhone5 16GB is around 170US$ (HW+SW) and retails somewhere in the 650-700 US$ range. Add marketing, logistics, etc and the price should double. Let's go even further, let's say 400US$. Let's take the most conservative number of...

    VIDEO: Protests don't deter CES 'booth babes'

    Cars, technology, games...boys toys. Why not have some nice looking chick next to the newest Sony phone? A journalist complained about needing to compete with half naked girls while trying to cover some stands...hmmm....weird! Is she a real journalist? Because, as such, she wouldn't have any...

    Google drops Microsoft patent claims

    Google vs. Microsoft, Google vs. Apple, etc all settled out of court. Why do they never publish the settlement deals? That would be pretty fun reading.

    Anger at Nigeria free phone plan

    Just the mobile phones? And that would be a prepaid service? As far as electoral bribery goes, this one is pretty smart, as it uses public money plus you could tender the contract to a telephony provider a corrupt govt. official controls through third parties, bringing the money back into your...
