New iPhone 4 Antenna Design Not So Handy
If you’re having reception problems with your new iPhone 4, the answer could be in the palm of your hand — literally. It’s now looking suspiciously like the design of the new model means the antenna is compromised when the phone is held in the hand. That’s because rather than being a small block unit, […]
Why I’m Not Standing With the iPhone Crowd
Today, I am not standing in line anywhere for an iPhone. It’s expected to be close to 100F here in North Carolina, and even though I’m sans child, I have no inclination to do such a thing, nor do I harbor feelings of jealousy against the people who have ordered and can afford these new […]
DC Comics iPhone/iPad App is Awesome (If It Will Stop Crashing)
So speaking of super heros… this morning DC Comics finally released an iPhone/iPad comic reader app. Following in the footsteps of Marvel, it’s built by Comixology, and so basically works exactly the same way. I had a grand plan to give it a test run and let you guys know what I think – but […]
Kindle and Nook Feel the iPad Effect
Both Barnes & Noble and Amazon have cut the prices of their electronic reading devices, but it may still be too late to compete with Apple. Barnes & Noble’s nook has been reduced from $259 to $199, which may put it closer to the impulse buy or gift category. Perhaps more significantly, the firm has […]

REVIEW: Soluto, Anti-Frustration Software
By Jimmy Rogers (@me) Contributing Writer, [GAS] Last week we talked about Betterment, the “new age” investing site, which won TechCrunch’s “Best Startup in NY” award. This week we’ll talk about the overall “Best Startup” winner at TechCrunch Disrupt. Their name is Soluto and they sell themselves as “anti-frustration software.” Then again, “selling themselves” probably isn’t the best […]
A “Brilliant” Idea: LiteOn’s Upcoming Mobile Lamp
French Canadian journalist Maxime Johnson, who’s currently visiting the “Display Taiwan” exhibition in Taipei, brought LiteOn’s upcoming LED “mobile lamp” to my attention today. As most LED light bulbs, the “mobile lamp” is compatible with traditional incandescent light bulb sockets, but what sets it apart from similar products is its internal battery, which can keep […]
