For me, this is great news along with the new iPads being multi-carrier. I don't use cell data much on my iPads except for when I travel. 200MB is a good amount for email and casual web browsing. It's enough to get you by in between WiFi hotspots…

I got the Hero3 Black despite some of the poor reviews. I figured that the battery life should be low (not 10 minutes), but I wasn't expecting much. My solution to this kind of problem has always been to load up on a bunch of cheap 3rd party batte…

This makes a lot of sense. I just received a link today from Maps on an iPhone and opened it in Safari on my Mac. It was weird to be redirected to Google Maps. It seems like most of the work is already done and just a web front end needs to be sl…

All joking aside, This is really weird on many levels and I serious question the reporting by Paul Thurrott on this. 1) Tablets are still banned from use during take-off and landing, unless an airline has specifically gone through a very long an…

Some of you young kids here may not remember, but there was a time when Microsoft was a marketing monster. I mean they'd do crazy stuff like spend billions of dollars marketing a product ('Kin) that would be the greatest consumer product in history…

While at first this seems interesting, there are a lot of problems. 1) Awkward size issue: The iPhone fits in your pocket and you take it everywhere, but the lens doesn't fit so easily in your pocket. Once you put it in a protective cover, …

I hope they include those stations, but more so that they convince them to upgrade the bitrates and switch to AAC/HE-AAC. There's no excuse for these low quality streams anymore.

I used FileMaker way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone back to it from time to time, but haven't touched it in a few years. It's a shame because there is a need for a simple database app on both OS X and iOS. What I don't u…
