HP's ultrabook →
Jim Dalrymple at The Loop:
HP Vice President of Industrial Design Stacy Wolff talking about how they didn’t copy Apple:
I think if you look at the new Spectre XT, there are similarities in a way, not due to Apple but due to the way technologies developed. Apple may like to think that they own silver, but they don’t. In no way did HP try to mimic Apple. In life there are a lot of...

Rumor: First BlackBerry 10 Phone To Launch in... →
Horrible timing with the new iPhone being launched around the same timeline. No point taking on Apple head-to-head. Another bad decision by RIM.

Adobe Unveils CS6 Headache Pricing →
parislemon:
These charts, and really this entire idea, confuses me.
Just sell Photoshop through the Mac App Store at a reasonable price — read: a one-time price, not some made-up subscription fee for nothing — and I’ll buy it.
Sincerely,
The Consumer
Preach, baby, preach! Amen.

According to recent results collected in Scoople, a social network app for news, a majority is concerned that Facebook will gradually destroy the Instagram user experience and would have strongly preferred for Twitter to be the new owner. At the same time, a significant majority acknowledges…

Creating ifttt recipes
I’ve been raving about my favorite web service, If This Then That (ifttt), for awhile now. The possibilities for this platform (and that’s exact what it is) are literally endless.
However, until today, I’ve never tested my hand at creating recipes. I searched for what I was looking for to no avail, so today I tried to create my own.
ifttt is based on the simple premise using...

A new year, a new blog redesign
In case you’ve missed it, I redesigned my blog in January to – what I think – is a much better layout. A lot of people have been asking me lately what theme I’ve been using. It’s a modified version of @stylehatch’s Swell theme.
They are awesome. Check out all of their Tumblr themes at www.stylehatch.co.

Apple TV 3: my best purchase of 2012 thus far
When I purchased the new Apple TV 3, I never imagined it to become the backbone of my home digital ecosystem. In fact, I never set out to purchase one altogether.
When I bought my iPad, originally I had planned on buying the 64GB LTE version. With documents and other files increasingly being stored in the cloud, however, I instead opted for the 32GB LTE version and used the remaining $99 to buy...

How to extract a SD card from an iMac superdrive,...
I mentioned the ordeal I had the other day about rescuing an SD card from the SuperDrive on my mother’s iMac.
After receiving a phone call from my mom in near-tears about what she did, I went over to see what the problem was.
Having no clue how to fix this, I googled “Idiot puts SD card in iMac SuperDrive” and, sure enough, was greeted with a few other frantic forum...

My issue with Words with Friends*
*The Facebook version. I have no problem with their iOS app. It’s great.
I’d rather not spam my Facebook friends with every god damn action from Word with Friends. So I turned off the application’s ability to post to my Facebook Timeline. All good, right? Wrong.
When I go to play a game, however, it gives me this message. Zynga is using a ‘best game experience’...

Five tips to make air travel a breeze
After working for an airline for five years (four of which were at an airport, and one of which required me to commute weekly) and backpacking Europe for the last five months, I’d like to consider myself qualified to be an expert traveler.
I developed a little system after a lot of trial and error, so I thought I’d share my secrets.

DING DING: How WhatsApp delivered RIM's final blow
We’ve seen this for a while – it’s not a new story. It’s the beginning of an end. Here is why I think that it was a number of startups and a series of mistrials and tribulations, and not a Fortune 500 company, that really led to RIM’s demise.
We’ve seen it in it’s messaging. We’ve seen it in its advertising. For many years now, BlackBerry Messenger (BBM)...

You’ve always wanted to ride the elevator to the roof and just jump. Onto the next roof, and then the fire escape and then down to the dumpster with a few somersaults in between. The only thing holding you back was your damn shoes.
Now there’s a parkour shoe. So now nothing can hold…
