We’ve all been there. You hit up the mega mall, the Wal-mart, or any number of major shopping centers and you get lost in the parking lot trying to remember where you parked your car. Was it on this floor? Which entrance did I take? It was next to the lamp post, wasn’t it?

It’s a little sad, really, how the most popular apps on the Apple iPhone involve bodily functions and other crude forms of humor. Yes, we all know that flatulence can be funny at times, but this has sparked up a whole new genre of apps across all platforms. Including Windows Mobile.
If you’re rocking a Windows [...]

We got a good look at the Nokia N86 camera phone when we learned that the Nokia flagship stores would be selling it in the United States, but what about a carrier subsidy? Well, Canadians are getting treated to eight megapixels of greatness, thanks to Rogers Wireless.

By now, many of us have heard of Michael Arrington of TechCrunch. Many of us are already familiar with his website, but perhaps more importantly, we’ve come to know a thing or two about his CrunchPad project.

How does that saying go? Something about a rose by any other name? This highly anticipated handset has gone through several different names in its storied past, being known as the Sony Ericsson Rachael at one point and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 at another point.

acer, core i7, desktop replacement
Posted on November 03, 2009
Some people choose to buy a notebook for its portability. These are the kind of people that would likely value a 13-inch ultraportable subnotebook. The new Acer AS8940G-6865 is not for these kind of people. Instead, the 18.4-inch monster of a laptop is very much a desktop replacement machine and it has the horsepower to [...]
