Even though I am an Amazon Prime member, I have not really made use of their streaming video content. The main reason? I can't get it to my main TV! I have the AppleTV and an Xbox 360 that should be capable. Please? I do have a Roku on a seconda…

I'm downsizing our cable bill, and recently got an AppleTV. It's connected to our kitchen TV where we had a Roku and the crappy cable box. So far, I am very impressed! Not a single technical glitch in setup or use so far, and super easy to use. …

Note to AT&T: What is undermining your profits is your overpriced texting plans; not iMessage! I have long refused to pay for texting; I simply choose not to use it. I only send if it is an extreme need. If a friend texts me, I will call t…

This already sort of exists. Seagate has a Wi-Fi hard drive server that works with iOS (and other mobiles), and can stream media using their app. http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.js...001a48090aRCRD I can imagine that the concept can be impr…

It's clear that few people actually looked at the patent application. This does NOT use image or scene recognition, but adds an infrared sensing capability to the camera, and uses it to search for "encoded data". The device that then do something …

Oddly enough, While I don't really agree with MS, I also don't agree with most of the posters here either. The major issue is that one type of machine doesn't necessarily replace another outright. The PC has been the dominant (not not the only) …

I guess the author meant that the design would feature a large screen and the usual array of buttons. So, the overall design is just like the iPhone 4! And 3GS, and 3G, and original iPhone before it, too! This does looks like the edges would …

To the person who suggested using a real alarm clock: When I'm traveling, I use my phone as my alarm. Hotel alarm clocks are always different and sometimes confusing to set. I've had times where I find out after I've overslept that the volume i…
