One of the coolest features available to iPhones and iPads has been the ability to mirror your devices display to your television using an Apple TV. AirPlay has been around even longer, which let you direct a video or audio stream to your Apple TV or (in the case of audio) to an AirPort Express [...]
I was playing around with CameraBag 2 HD for iPad the other day and used a couple photos from my family’s recent #BookmarkItForward excursion. If you like applying filters to your photos but want more control over them, you should check it out. Also, for more information on #BookmarkItForward, be sure to check out my blog [...]
So some of you may have noticed that I’ve been talking or posting things here and there about App.net (or ADN). I promised I would elucidate, but haven’t made time for it. Well, this is me elucidating. App.net is a social network service similar to Twitter or Facebook with an emphasis on privacy and developer [...]
I recently signed up for App.net (a paid Twitter alternative) and have quite enjoyed the conversations in which I’ve found myself involved. Two of the more interesting discussions have been about the future of the Apple TV (more on that later) and Apple’s rumored wearable iOS device that Michael Norton (@zenimpulse - ADN) recently dubbed the [...]
Today, the company-formerly-known-as Research in Motion, creators of the once-dominant smartphone BlackBerry, announced a name change to match their flagship product. In other news, nobody cares. Okay, that’s a little harsh, but it’s more true every day. BlackBerry is no longer relevant, except as a case study of what not to do when a competitor [...]
I came across a decent number of good articles today about Apple, all of which are worth a read, even if you don’t like Apple. Why? Because if you’re the type of person that expends any amount of energy repeating the misinformation that passes for journalism these days, it’s important to know when you’ve been [...]
RetroforceGO! was a podcast from Destructoid that talked about classic video games. It ran for several years and to date remains my favorite podcast of all time. Unfortunately, the Destructoid website didn’t exactly do a very complete job of keeping the episodes online and available. Fortunately, I saved every episode on my computer long after [...]
Qualcomm’s insane CES 2013 keynote in pictures and tweets Honestly, it’s like when Steve Jobs died, necromancers from every tech company on the planet worked together to trap his soul on this plane and then tore it into pieces, passing them from company to company, binding them with dark magicks in a vain attempt to [...]
So yesterday, I was reading an absolutely ridiculous article over at BusinessInsider wherein the author (Kevin Smith, but not that Kevin Smith) detailed his decision to switch to Android if the next iPhone didn’t have specific features. Never mind the fact that at this point, it’s too late for Apple to even consider his features [...]
So I managed to get hold of a Motorola Droid 2 Global EXTRA SUPER COWBOY FUN TIMES Edition (as I’m to understand it is called in Japan) to tool around with. I spent the last four days or do trying to put Ice Cream Sandwich on it, which requires it to be rooted and poked [...]
