Embrace Better Predictive Typing with SwiftKey X for Android
29 Jul 2011 by Kevin Ivanca
It happens millions of times a day, and most people don’t even know its a problem: The issue of auto-correction errors while typing on a mobile smartphone.

Review: Asus K53E-A1 Laptop Review – 15.6″ Brown Beauty
15 Jul 2011 by Jake Joraanstad / 3 Comments
Asus makes all kinds of laptops. Sometimes it’s hard to even know which model is what with the number-based naming scheme. But, I believe that I am using a laptop that is noteworthy in its design and usability, the Asus K53E-A1. The more I use this laptop, the more I enjoy it.

Overall, the official Twitter app for Windows Phone 7 is a great app, providing all of the functionality you would expect from Twitter.com. While I haven’t had the opportunity to spend time with competing apps, this one more than whets my tweeting whistle.

Dear people living under rocks this past week: If you haven’t noticed, Google has decided to tackle bold new things recently, with widespread success.

Harry Potter eBooks To Be DRM Free
24 Jun 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Personally, I am not a fan of publishers locking down eBooks with intrusive and unnecessary DRM. It devalues their product and does little to prevent piracy anyway. It’s unfortunate that almost all major publishers and digital book distributors continue to sell their books with such a handicap. One giant name in the book industry, however, is looking to shake things up. J. K. Rowling, autho...
