Here’s the latest action:
Stepping up the intervention? The U.S. and the United Kingdom are converging on a similar solution to save the global economy. The nations may begin working together to come up with a new plan to stave off a global economic meltdown.
Following the Dow’s fall, Asian markets reacted with panic: Japan’s Nikkei 225 [...]
A lot of people have already expressed joy over the confirmation that Apple will be unveiling a bunch of new MacBook laptops at an event Tuesday in San Francisco. But to most people (not white-collar tech types), Apple computers come with one problem: They’re expensive. Given the current economic crisis, Apple may have some trouble [...]
Well, Apple sure took their time getting those invites out. As has been speculated for several weeks now, Apple is in fact holding an event on October 14 to unveil its new line of MacBook computers. The invite, which simply reads: “The spotlight turns to notebooks,” is expected to showcase a revamp of Apple entire [...]
People actually pay $0.99 for ringtones on the iPhone. I have to write that out because it still boggles my mind. It’s a clip of a song up to 30 seconds long, and yet people pay the same amount as they do for the entire song itself. I don’t care how badly I want a [...]
Remember that pesky Apple non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that prevented iPhone application developers from talking about their creations even after they were released? Well it’s now a little more clear why Apple relaxed those rules: The company is launching a world tour aimed at iPhone app developers and it’d be a shame if they had nothing [...]
The Internet’s given musicians many new avenues for promoting their music. Maybe too many. Even with a dedicated person to market your band online, you’re bound to miss some, and who knows, that could be the one that helps you take off. That’s where ArtistData comes into play.
The information synchronization service, which launched a public [...]
Google signed a deal with satellite imagery company GeoEye back in August to get exclusive images from the company’s new GeoEye-1 satellite. That satellite took off in early September and yesterday it snapped its first images 423 miles above the Earth’s surface, reports Wired. The image (above) is pretty remarkable.
The world’s highest resolution satellite puts [...]
You could easily argue that the only thing stopping Apple from absolutely blowing away the competition in laptop sales is price point. In fact, I’ve argued the point in the past. Apple’s current cheapest notebook is the standard MacBook, which has a low-end retail price of $1,099. If you drop that below $1,000, especially in [...]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is the branch of the United States Department of Defense that works on crazy new technology projects for the military. Many of their projects sound more like science fiction or dystopian movie plots instead of feasible things. A new project doesn’t sound all that advanced, but it is [...]
One could say that the steady stream of new iPhone applications since June has created a lot of noise within the App Store. Now there’s an app that literally lets you create noise. It’s kind of pointless, but also kind of cool and beautiful. And it’ll get some buzz simply because of who made it: [...]
Tension is building as we head into the second week in October and Apple has yet to reveal if it will unveil new MacBooks this month. The original rumored date for an unveiling was October 14, but that is now only 6 days away and no one (including us) has received an invitation to any [...]
The stock market was actually up for much of the day today. While that statement is pretty pathetic, it’s worth noting that the tech-heavy Nasdaq was going strong up until market close (see update below), with many of the big name tech stocks making gains. Because of that, it’s also worth noting one stock that [...]
Online music recommendation engines are nothing new. Pandora is one of the most high profile, but services that do other things such as Last.fm, Imeem and now even iTunes, all offer this functionality in some capacity. Mufin hopes to stand out by doing things a bit differently: Analyzing only the music.
Most other recommendation engines using [...]
Given all the hype (and letdown) surrounding Microsoft’s recent advertising campaigns, it’s not odd that I’d be posting a Microsoft video that’s been gaining buzz around the Internet. What’s odd is when I sit down to watch it and find that a college friend of mine (who may or may not have been in my [...]
It’s pretty clear that Research In Motion’s (RIM) new BlackBerry Storm smartphone was designed with another phone in mind: Apple’s iPhone. What we didn’t expect was that RIM would be so blatantly obvious about it.
For several hours tonight, Vodafone (the European distributor of the device) had a Storm promo page showing pictures of the device [...]
On November 7, 2007, Google’s stock hit its all-time high of $747.24-a-share. After a second-half of incredible growth (in 2007), $1,000-a-share seemed like it was only a matter of time. And some were even calling for $2,000-a-share. (Though, to be fair, Silicon Alley Insider’s Henry Blodget didn’t say exactly when he thought it would hit [...]
The buzz around Google Knol, the “Wikipedia killer,” has died since its unveiling in late July. Now, Google is attempting to revive interest in the site by launching Knol debates — op-ed style entries that feature the opinions of opposing experts and allow users to chime in.
While Knol has managed to assemble some good information, [...]
When I was in college I was definitely known for sending out the occasional late night email while not of sound mind or judgement. Most of them didn’t get me in trouble — most of them made absolutely no sense — but there was always that uncomfortable situation the next morning where I’d wake up [...]
Location is a hot field in mobile computing. It makes sense — you’re on the move, and newer phones such as the Apple iPhone and T-Mobile’s Android-based G1 have global positioning systems (GPS) built in. So mobile applications are being built in droves to use location, but web-based apps are largely being left out of [...]
You know the stock market’s bad when Apple has a flurry of good iPhone news and its stock is still down over 8 percent in trading. That’s the situation today.
The good news is that Apple has apparently already sold over 10 million iPhones this year. It has stated numerous times that 10 million was the [...]
