    When looking over recent talks regarding the debt ceiling, it is plainly obvious that "compromise" is the new buzz word coming from President Obama and his team. The president used the word several times in his Monday evening press conference, and it made me want to puke. Subsequent press conferences have also been saturated ...

    Another iPad wannabe will be coming later this year, this time from Amazon. Really, is it surprising at all? With the iPad's ebook capabilities, there is no doubt that sales of Amazon's Kindle has taken a hit. Even with the Kindle's "virtual ink" advantage for ebooks, many of us would rather have a multi-use device, i.e. a device ...

    Apple kicked off WWDC 2011 today with a keynote from Steve Jjobs and other Apple execs. 40 minutes of the keynote were spent focused on Mac OS X Lion, the next version of the Mac operating system. Only the last two minutes of the Lion presentation was worth it. Most of the ...

    Apple has officially announcedthat Apple CEO Steve Jobs will be participating in the keynote on Monday, June 6, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific.

    Apple's annual WWDC (world wide developer conference) usually centers on software from Apple and other companies, but Apple from time to time will use the WWDC keynote to introduce new hardware, such as new iterations of the iPhone. However, this year appears to be focused entirely on new software. In an unusual move for Apple, some of the ...

    What does it say when remarks from a company's CEO are later retracted by the said company? Well, when it comes to Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO, it is really no surprise that he has stepped in it again and it appears others at Microsoft have to clean up the mess.

    Yesterday at a developer conference in Tokyo, Ballmer gave his usual spill about developers and the stamina of Microsoft. He also mentioned the "Windows 8" moniker in public for the first time. ...

    As a conservative, I can never pinpoint my feelings about Mitt Romney. He is an enigma to me. At times when I listen to him speak about issues, I think he would be a great president, but when he moves on to another issue, he says something else causing my opinion of him to change. It happened again today as he refused to apologize for the Massachusetts health care reform he signed into law while governor of Massachusetts.

    He recently said that if he were president, the first thing he would do is repeal Obamacare. Sounds good, but then I heard him say this regarding the universal health care he started in Massachusetts: ...

    Normally, when Apple releases a new version of Mac OS X, there is enough new features and performance improvements that most users want to upgrade. Mac OS X Snow Leopard had very few new features, but had significant enough performance improvements and a sweet price tag of $29, which made it an obvious upgrade choice for those who had been using Mac OS X Leopard. But what about the upcoming version of Mac OS X Lion? It's not designed to encourage current Mac OS X users to upgrade, but rather designed to attract potential switchers from Windows to the Mac platform.

    There are millions of users of iOS, the software that drives the iPHone, iPad, and iPod touch. These users have become familiar with the sleek interface, the intuitive nature of the software, its ease of use, and its advantages over competition. But for whatever reason, a large percentage of those millions have ...

    Most of the reports I have seen over the past few days about smart-phones tracking users have either been poorly researched or are purposeful lies to gain attention. Due to the media hype about this supposed tracking issue, both the Senate and the House of Representatives are launching investigations and demanding that Apple CEO Steve Jobs give them answers. Here's the answer for all those politicians who are media-whore morons: the ...

    The act of violence which occurred at a Baltimore McDonalds restaurant earlier this week is reportedly being investigated as a hate crime. As sickening as this attack was, I find it just as sickening that those investigating it are reportedly treating it different just because of the races of those involved and because the woman who was attacked is a transgender person . ...
