Rumor has it that apple is in works on a tv. A tv that won't need a remote, to make every other tv obsolete. Incorporated to use new Siri technology to change channels and control volume. Hopefully this rumors true as it would be awesome

Apple has now patented the very popular "slide to unlock" feature. This makes every android phone ever made infringe it and apple could sue if they wanted to. 

This incredible robot was able to distinguish 18 types of canned tomatoes using characteristics used by humans such as bitterness saltiness and thickness. this technology could potentially remove the need for human taste testers and removes the variable of personal preferences.

Google Reader is a useful tool to help keep readers updated on current news. Google is updating this "long-ignored RSS app", giving it a new, modern design but removing the social features of this site. The problem? The social aspect of this site is not as in-your-face like Facebook, but instead enables your friends to keep you updated on things that you may not be subscribed to in Google Reader. The writer of this article even accuses Google of taking away the social features on Google Reader to drive people to Google +, which sadly, I can see them doing. Haha, nice try Google.

QR codes are a picture that when scanned, either brings a website or information up on your phone. The technology has great potential, but the only place where people are actually using it to its advantage is in Japan. In North America, all it's doing is bringing people to third-party websites that either give your phone a virus or send so many texts that your bill is ridiculously high. So why are we using this amazing technology for such bad uses?

Nokia just announced two of the first "true" Windows Phones. key qualities that this phone has is that it is fast, with 1.4 GHz single core Snapdragon processor, 512 MB RAM, and 16 GB of storage. They are hoping to be sold for close to 150$. this is relevent because it is adding more competition to the smart phone industry, but will it be able to keep up with the new iphone 4s

Kobo is about to launch their new Vox ereader/tablet and it is scheduald to be in the running for other big name tablets. they have joined forces with android to bring the best of a tablet and an electronic book put together.

Apparently Macs can get viruses. The ESNET security company is reporting that the Tsunami Trojan originally developed for Linux systems has been ported to OSX. The Trojan is designed to hijack an infected system and use its network connection in DDoS attacks or to automatically download more malware. 

Nokia is developing a new device that is bendable. it is supposed to work similarly to other touch screen devices, but instead of pinching to zoom in and out, you would bend the screen. i think this is a good idea for children, because i assume that since the screen is bendable, it is shatterproof. this is ideal for clumsy children who often drop things

well they just keep coming out with surprises don't they, Nokia just came out with a prototype of another smartphone, it is like any other smartphone, except that this one is flexible, how are they supposed to make a phone out of rubber or plastic or something. this may make it harder to break, but i wouldn't care about that, if I could I would just buy it to freak people out.

Google has released analytic beta, and all of the tools that come with it to hundreds more people. but in the process, spills all of those email addresses to everyone who received the beta, so when you have about 500 more people in the "to" when sending an email, then it happened to you. this is not good, because then people can send anyone all kinds of SPAM.

Robotic Staffed Casino! and amazing display of today's robotics technology. People are having doubts of how this will work especially with the whole cheating prevention problem. People are wondering how it would work because in the past dealers and staff at casino's have been trained to detect cheaters and con artists, how will the robots be able to detect these subtle signs? Questions will hopefully soon be answered.

did you ever need a plug to charge your phone but cant find one? well as long as you're outside and the sun is shinning, you can use a solar powered charger. this charger is still a prototype but it is expected sometime in the future. its really convenient to have this because you actually dont need to pay for the electricity. all you need is the sun and you are set. this type of technology is available for pre sale price of 400 dollars.

After reading this article about machines using algorithm to solve captcha codes, i read a pretty amusing comment on how we ourselves people are starting to have trouble reading the captcha codes ourselves. i find this truth to be funny and that sooner or later the captcha codes will become obsolete and we will need a different way of verifying that your not a bot.

The title may sound a bit on the good side but if you ever got a look at the comments you would understand on how change could be back at some times. I have recently started using google reader myself and had found the old user interface much effective and this sudden change is not a change i think i can adapt to.

It hits you when you least expect it. It slips away under a mask of dormant inactivity. And it can ruin your entire day. It's your iPhone 4S battery life, and it sucks. It's been 17 days since the iPhone 4S was released - 19 since iOS 5 - and just like the madness that was Antennagate, complaints are churning out left and right. As Erick so clearly pointed out, the iPhone 4S is meant to offer 8 hours of talk time, or "up to 6 hours" of Internet use on 3G. For so many of us - including iPod touch and iPhone-not-4Ses running iOS 5 - that simply isn't the case. But there may be hope.

Battlefield 3, a new first-person shooter video game from EA and DICE, has hit the ground running with great sales numbers and a slew of online problems. The game, released Oct. 25, was hit with serious problems in its first weekend, Kotaku reports. Gamers were blocked from going online and joining multiplayer games.
