Although the iPod still dominates the standalone media player space with more than 70 percent of the market, sales are shrinking — in fact, “shriveling” might be a better descriptor. However, if you’re out on the street, there are still plenty of telltale white earbuds. Though everything looks the same — Apple, Apple [...]

Motorola’s gambit: Don’t ask, don’t get

Ronald O Carlson — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 07:41:25 +0000

Whether an act of desperation or masterstroke before the kill, ailing Motorola is playing for survival and, because Google could soon own them, the stakes are incalculably high.

GameStop claims iPhone, iPod buy back success

Just a few years ago my kids and their Nintendo DSes were inseparable. Thereupon, trips to the mall and GameStop were common, and I considered getting out of there just $30 poorer a success. Now, thankfully, my kids have moved up and to the iPod touch and we haven’t been back to the [...]

‘We’re too cool for iPhone,’ says US Cellular

Herman Cain’s reality distortion field failed him one too many times. Then again, maybe he just didn’t have the stuff to be president — you’ve really got to project. Here we have another instance — someone much less important yet no less comical in his attempt to bend the space-time continuum to his [...]

You’ve got an ordinary job and live in an ordinary house with your ordinary family. Good stuff. To keep all of that going you probably don’t want anyone to know about your forays to the dark side to view “vegesexual lesbian lobster men” (or whatever you’re into). To keep anyone who knows how [...]

Ice Cream Sandwich: Slow as it ever was

iPhone 4S: ‘Siri-ously awesome’

Ronald O Carlson — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 22:31:57 +0000

First there was the buzz generated by Apple’s onstage demos. Exciting, yes, but often not a good indicator of how features will behave in the wild.

iPhone 4S: They sold them all
