I like the idea of unifying the user experience, but I don't think the Metro UI is really the answer for that. As it stands, I like the sharing of ideas between the two seperate worlds iOS and OS X better; they aren't literally the same, but they do…

It looks really awesome, and it is the perfect Windows-esque answer to Apple's "post-PC" device. The keyboard smart-cover is brilliant! Perhaps a Bluetooth connected knock-offs will make it to my iPad. I hope that MS can deliver. More options is …

This laptop looks awesome. I wanted an iMac as my update, but I'll get this if no iMac is there to wow me this week.

This must have been a year or so ago. Sequencing DNA is becoming cheaper by a factor of 10 every year. I think it is $10k or cheaper right now, but the tech shows no signs of slowing down, such that it will easily become as cheap or cheaper than flu…

FYI, I used this exploit to painlessly jailbreak my iPad 2, then I immediately went to Cydia and installed the jailbreak friendly patch for said vulnerability, called "PDF Patcher 2." This exploit is not a hoax; it is a legitimate threat that the ja…

Unfortunately, WiFi cannot accommodate anywhere near enough bandwidth to transmit a 1080p signal to a separate device. AirPlay works by buffering the file to another device, not by sending the decoded a/v signal to the device. I don't think any wire…
