The New Digg
Digg has been working hard for a while now to redesign everything there is about the site. The concept is still the same; submit stories and be able to digg or bury them. There are however a few changes such as the features, customizations, design, and interface.
The one thing I am most excited about is the simplicity of the new Digg, and the new features. The design and interface have been simplified to help you figure out how things work and to customize your experience. Oh and since we’re talking about customizations, I’m glad to say that Digg finally let’s you follow profiles and get news from only the sources that you want.
You can watch my new Digg walk-through on YouTube or the embed below. If you want to get an invite, head over to new.digg.com. Continue reading…

Kinect for Xbox 360
Project Natal was the code name for a project by Microsoft for their Xbox 360 gaming system. It is meant to change not only gaming, but entertainment in general with its state of the art technology.
You probably already heard of Project Natal, and recently Microsoft finally released the real name for it, which is Kinect. In simple terms, Kinect will connect you to the digital world with new ways of interacting with games and media. The issue with Xbox and other systems is that you’re limited to the controller, but what if you could use your body as the controller? This is what Kinect intends to do. Continue reading…

Apple iPhone 4
Apple has been busy lately, and the biggest news today is the release of the iPhone 4. A prototype was leaked earlier in April and many thought it was a hoax, but it now proven to be very real, and it’s definitely kicking with a lot of fun features.
When the iPhone was first released, many Apple fans and others were amazed at what it could do, and were mostly mesmerized by the touchscreen. Internally it is a very great device, but it definitely lacked a lot of stuff.
One of the main lacking features was a higher resolution camera, both on the front and back. iPhone 4 has all that and more like an LED flash camera, multitasking, HD video recording, and better organizations of apps. Continue reading…

Dell Streak Tablet
The Android powered Dell Streak which boasts a 5 inch screen has been revealed today with some interesting information. Starting next month, the device will become available to consumers in the United States, but may also be available exclusively to customers in the UK sometime tomorrow.
The device hosts a lot of cool feature, but the biggest problem is the price which doesn’t justify its size. It’s a lot smaller than the iPad, so the claim of it being and iPad killer is false, but it is bigger than a cell phone. Pricing is at $500, unlocked if you buy it directly from Dell.
As far as the network goes, you will be able to purchase it cheaper, but with a monthly plan from AT&T which lately has been criticized a lot, for its 3G coverage and prices. This is however a rumor, so T-Mobile and Verizon may offer the Streak as well. Continue reading…

Google's New Logo
Ah Google, the search engine that everyone seems to be using for almost everything. It solved all your answers, helped you plagiarize those research papers, and even pass the time when nothing was good on TV. I bet many of you however did not take much into account of the design. It was very simplistic, true but that does that necessarily mean it had to be outdated and not give you a good feeling when entering a search query?
Well a new look has finally been released by Google, which sports a new logo, results layout, and various other refinements. Continue reading…

iPhone 4G Prototype
Probably by now, you’ve heard of Gizmodo getting their hands on a prototype of the next version of the iPhone, 4th generation. If not, here’s how the story went. A 27 year old software engineer for Apple was at a German beer garden. It was on his barstool, at the Gourmet Haus Straut and was disguised in a custom case to look like an iPhone 3Gs. He was apparently field testing the prototype unit, but the folks over at Gizmodo paid $5000 for someone that has found it to get their greedy hands on it.
They were arguing over whether to publish an article on the future device (which of course, they have) or to call the police. I personally don’t see this as something to call the police about, perhaps Apple themselves but the police shouldn’t be bothered with about a prototype phone, which I guess could be a crime but not to the level of the police. Read on to check out exclusive pics, videos, and info. Continue reading…

Apple iPad
The iPad. The next big thing to come out of Apple. The life-sized iPod Touch that boasts some cool features.
Engadget sums up the iPad saying “The buyer of an iPad is one of two people, the first is someone who sees not just the present, but the potential of a product like the iPad… and believes in and is excited about that potential. This is also a person who can afford what amounts to a luxury item. The second is an individual who simply doesn’t need to get that much work done, and would prefer their computing experience to be easier, faster, and simpler.”
That makes sense, but here are the advantages and disadvantages of the iPad.

This will be my first rant, so hopefully I don’t get too much hate on this one but I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind lately. I am talking about the “average user” both computer and internet wise. Why? Well it’s a big problem actually, because many people who use the computer daily don’t even know much about it, even the basics. I admit it’s a stereotype, but there’s no other way of grouping it so give me a break and please read on. Continue reading…
