, Mar 28th 2007 Discuss [0]

I think a book light is probably the dorkiest gadget ever. I mean what self-respecting person would be seen with one?! Okay, so I own one. What? I like to read at night once everyone has gone to sleep. When I was much younger I had a night light and I would curl up in the floor to read by it. Yes I am a dork. Read The Full Story

Sprint Upstage retraction: scrolling through long playlist is now a breeze!

, Mar 28th 2007 Discuss [5]

meme.jpgSometimes a rough hands-on review is simply that, very rough. As a result, you’re going to miss a thing or two. In the case of the Upstage, one of the biggest complaints I had had to flick through my long playlist. Well my friends, I’ve flick no more; I’ve seen the light.

More on Blyk: ad-supported cellphone service

, Mar 27th 2007 Discuss [0]

We finally have more information on the $1 million laptop we covered last week. As it turns out, you'll get some nice hardware for your money, but nothing to justify a million bucks. A 17-inch LED backlit screen and a Blu-ray drive just aren't enough to justify the price. Read The Full Story
