So here’s the deal: I had planned to purchase a honeycomb-based tablet as my sabbatical leave of absence going away present to myself. I was carefully considering all the pros and cons of both the Motorola Xoom and the new 10″ Samsung Galaxy Tab. Between the two of them discovered the latter has a better [...]
Apple had an event yesterday. And i saw that it was goooood. Seriously now, i was pleasantly surprised by – well – the surprises that were shown by Steve and co. Here’s a brief sum of coolness: iLife 11 This update to the iLife family of products is one of the best ever, in my [...]
And i must say it looks beautiful! It features twice the graphics speed, HDMI connector (finally!), a thin unibody aluminum case, and a built in power supply (which means no more big power transformer in along the power cable). I love it and i definitely want one connected to my TV in my living room [...]

No GPS – It does have assisted (wifi/3G) GPS but it’s not quite the same, is it? Especially when you don’t have wifi or [...]
Jason Calacanis apparently had access to the Apple table 10 days ago. If you take a look at his status update feed on twiter, you find really interesting reports about the table, namely: It will have an “ebook reader” mode that saves a lot of battery time; Battery life for gaming/wifi is around 2/3 hours; [...]
I want one of these. I wonder who comes up with these things. Maybe the same guy that thought it was a good idea to shoot a satellite against the moon.
A company called Cyberwalk has created a 360 degree treadmill that allows one person to move freely in all directions while never leaving the same place. When this becomes smaller and less expensive I want one. Get some virtual reality goggles in my face, a gun in my hand, and I can already see me [...]
