It has been quite a while since I visited our local mall. I was on my way to see if the Apple Store had the latest Apple TV available for purchase and was surprised to see this monstrosity….. …..a massive billboard announcing the new Microsoft Store spanning nearly three storefronts in length. The billboard is masking their new store within. I thought it humorous that it is located only three doors down from the Apple Store.

I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly worrying about having to juggle my iPhone (with the map on it) while I’m driving.  I don’t want to–it’s dangerous, and makes me nervous as heck.  And personally, I hate those vocal, turn-by-turn programs–”In 100 feet, turn right!” generic woman with bland voice says brightly.  It’s not for me. Proclip has always offered multiple solutions, and this month there’s an incentive to buy one and stop my stressful juggling attempts:  they are offering 10% off of their products at checkout time.

There are so many great phones available right now, that it can be difficult to pick one. Flipping back and forth between vendor and carrier sites to read hardware specs isn’t always the easiest task. Luckily for you, someone is trying to fix that problem by creating a cellphone comparison site. It’s called Compare Cellphones and it will let you do just that.

I remember my first 3.5-inch disk. It was a copy of MacPaint on the original Mac 128k, and it was so amazing compared to the 5.25 and 8-inch floppies of my youth. Eventually, I had boxes and boxes of the little hard-shelled floppies, each one with various and sundry Mac wares (and WareZ) loaded on them, and some cryptic description scrawled on the label. Now that the venerable floppy has gone the way of the dinosaur, I figure these fun floppy sticky notes are the perfect remembrance.

Fujitsu seems to be a staunch believer in the saying that more is better. The company showed off a dual-touchscreen smartphone concept at CEATEC 2010. Seeing it in action, it’s not that far out, allowing for portrait and landscape view via a handy “swing action” feature. The screens are quite narrow, so landscape view is indeed the best way to make the most out of this phone. Click to View Embedded Video Clip Both screens seem responsive, but if I had this phone I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the huge gap in the middle

There are some words, as Dave Barry pointed out, that are inherently funny.  He liked the word “booger,” but there are other words that fit the bill.  (He also enjoyed “weasel”–don’t ask me why.) And then there are words that, to me, just sound cool all on their own.  ”Vector.”  ”Glacial.”  And one of my other favorites is now a game:  ”Firmament.”  This has nothing to do with the game itself, of course; I just like to spice up these news items a bit. Anyway.

There are a lot of folks out there who have an iPad or iPhone that  like to stream content with from various sources like YouTube, Netflix, their video camera or their media library. The catch is that it can be a hassle getting that video onto a larger screen for viewing. You can use a dock that has TV outputs, but those tend to take up a lot of space and if your entertainment center is as crowded as mine that can be an issue

The Stauer 1930 Dashtronic Watch has a look inspired by the machine-age designs of the 1930s.  Everything – from cars to toasters – had a sleek, streamlined look then.  Even watches were influenced by the industrial designers of the period, and a new watch complication was introduced.  Instead of hands, time was displayed by a “jumping mechanism,” which displayed numerals on a dial and looked like a speedometer in a car.  This 1930 Dashtronic watch doesn’t use a real jumping mechanism, but it does look like those watches.  It has 21 jewels and is water-resistant to 3-ATM.  It has a stainless steel case and a black aligator-embossed leather band.  This is an automatic watch, meaning no winding and no batteries are needed.  It has a mineral crystal over the time dial and a clear back so you can see the watch works as they … work.  The watch case is 1.5″, and the band is 9.5″ long and fits a 7-8.5″ wrist.  The limited-edition  Stauer 1930 Dashtronic Watch sells for … [ visit site to read more ] Filed in categories: News , Watches and Clocks Tagged: Automatic watch , Watches and Clocks Stauer 1930 Dashtronic Watch originally appeared on The Gadgeteer on October 10, 2010 at 7:00 am.

Section: Communications , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile The T-Mobile myTouch HD Android smartphone has recently been announced and is not yet available for sale. Not to mention, we are still not even sure when that release date will be as T-Mobile offered the details as sometime “in time for the holidays.” Well, for those waiting for the myTouch HD to come to market, here are the official T-Mobile fact sheets to tease you a little more. All said and done, for the most part the details where what was expected, but there was one goodie in that of T-Mobile TV which will include programming from networks such as ABC News Now, Fox Sports, PBS Kids, Univision and Disney. Otherwise, the myTouch HD will also come pre-loaded with Rock Band as well as an FM Radio and the Slacker Radio app. Via [ TmoNews ] Full Story

Obviously, being a wiki, and a project platform for the entire MAKE community, anybody can submit a project to Make: Projects , even kids. Here, ten year old Ben Adase has created a post for his hovercraft build — the leaf blower, plywood, and plastic-sheet variety. I love that he used simple MS Paint illustrations for the build and just that he saw fit to show off his creation in the first place

I’ve posted on nearly every single Minigore ($0.99)  update and relayed the news in April that v1.27 would be the last update before co-op gameplay , so I thought I’d take just a moment to ask: Uhh, where’s that co-op gameplay, folks? As of right now, the Minigore blog seems to say co-op is coming in Episode 4, but this epic fourth episode doesn’t really seem to have a release date.
