After what seemed like an eternity of silence, Google has finally released something new associated with GrandCentral. No, you still can’t get in on the action if you don’t already have an account and no, this is hardly huge news. It is however, hopefully a sign of things to come as Google further enhances the [...]
Microsoft is turning up the heat a bit as part of its holiday plans, and likely in an effort to make its digital player option a bit more of a contender. Firstly, Microsoft has dropped the prices on three Zune models - the 4 GB version is now $99, the 8 GB version drops to [...]

A growing number of MacBook and MacBook Pro users have been reporting an unusual error with their trackpad. According to the forum discussions, the trackpad stops responding for 5-10 clicks [...]
If this isn’t the best way to score a job interview, we don’t know what is. Piergiorgio Zambrini, an Italian systems engineer and creator of the widely popular Ziphone application, recently applied for a job as an iPhone security engineer at Apple. Who needs a good interview when you can prove your worth by discovering [...]
We had wondered where this thing went, and while we still don’t have a release date for you, we’ve got an exclusive first look at the application. It’s got a pretty familiar feel to it (read: Facebook app), and even though we haven’t actually played with the software itself, it does seem to be a [...]
There’s no doubt about it — we’re big Skyfire fans over here. While we’ve begged them to make a BlackBerry version, something they said they are actually in the process of looking at, expanding their market share in other countries isn’t such a bad thing is it? Some of you sneaky readers have managed to [...]
Look, we don’t want to get into it this time. Apple seeded new firmware to developers, it doesn’t do any of the things we all want it to do, end of story. Well, almost end of story. Version 2.2 beta 2 of the iPhone firmware might not let you copy / paste, type an email [...]
Last night, Apple updated iTunes to version 8.0.1 and addressed some issues with its latest music portal release.

Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
Significantly better [...]
First things first, we just got word that iPhone owners can look forward to a nice little firmware update coming their way in just over half an hour. Version 2.0.2 (5C1) is due to hit iTunes at 5:00 pm EST today and will consist mainly of performance tweaks. This might be very good news however, [...]
You remember the I Am Rich application, right? Of course you do, it’s the one we told you about last week. As horribly lame as it was, it ended up teaching us quite a bit. No, seriously. First of all, it taught us that Apple will seemingly approve any app out there so that it [...]
