Updates from Google I/O – What is New on Google Play and Chrome
17 May 2013 by David Gitonga
Once again, the Google I/O event was an opportunity for Google to showcase what magic and innovation they have been cooking up in their labs. This year, they did not disappoint and came through as usual. Here is my take on what I loved about the new developer tools. 900 million Androids activations as of 2013 was probably the big opening news during the event. The android ecosystem is truly ama...

Facebook adds hashtags to compete with other social networks
25 Apr 2013 by Bethaney Wallace
A few weeks ago, Facebook announced that it was working on a way to integrated hashtags into its platform. Already a successful feature on Twitter and Instagram, the change would bring Zuckerberg and crew into the world of random and unnecessary links. Sure, some are helpful and even relevant, but when scouring Twitter, the majority of hashtags consist of a string of words that may or may not be s...

The Facebook phone: Is it real this time?
28 Mar 2013 by Bethaney Wallace
We’re all still recovering from the recent Facebook changes – the pictures are larger, and now there’s a treat of video ads (sigh). But now having altered the site’s design, as well as the method from which it gathers News Feed info, Facebook is holding onto one more bombshell to throw at its users: there still might a Facebook Phone in the works. To be put into production by HTC, this h...

Netflix is finally getting it right
04 Mar 2013 by Bethaney Wallace
It’s been several months since Netflix has been under the scrutiny of the press. Despite their former fall from grace, the company has managed to make a solid comeback, gaining customers and fan loyalty in the process. It’s even gotten interest of internet emperor Google, looking at a price of $17.9 billion. This is especially impressive considering it was just under two years ago that Netflix...

The long wait for the PlayStation 4 is almost over
27 Feb 2013 by David Gitonga
Since the release of PlayStation 3 on November 11, 2006 in Japan, Sony game console lovers have had nothing to look forward to apart from the release of new games and hardware/design upgrades, which I must admit, though functional, were never enough to quench the thirst for something totally new and different. After the long wait, Sony has finally announced the successor, the PlayStation 4. Impre...

Super Bowl advertising and its effect on tech sales
06 Feb 2013 by Bethaney Wallace
Who else was horrified by GoDaddy’s commercial from Sunday’s Super Bowl? Meant to show the versatility of their company, millions were forced to watch two ill-matched people loudly kiss. For too long, and with awkward, unpleased faces. To GoDaddy, this was a way to mesh two very different entities, “smart” and “sexy.” (Though no one knows what the latter has to do with web hosting.) Tw...

Why Apple should release a less expensive iPhone
23 Jan 2013 by Donny Yankellow / 1 Comment
Recently, rumors have been running rampant about Apple releasing a cheaper version of the iPhone. These rumors are not new, but seem to have been picking up a lot of steam in the past month. Maybe it is because there is nothing else to write about in the Apple world right now, or maybe there is truth to the rumor. True or not, I think it is about time Apple releases a less expensive iPhone. You mi...

iPad Mini shortages – An “own goal” for Apple?
16 Jan 2013 by Benny Taylor
When a new product hits the market, there’s often a shortage. It happened with the Nintendo Wii, the original iPod and with numerous different iPhones. I’m not here to have a detailed debate as to whether manufacturers should, by now, have brought their supply chains up to speed. I will also limit my speculation as to whether sometimes these shortages are engineered to increase hype and demand...

Sony patent signposts the end of previously-owned video games
10 Jan 2013 by Dave Parrack
It’s no great secret that developers and publishers in the video game industry would like to see an end to the used games market. The reasons for this are obvious: while everybody gets paid when a game is bought brand new, no one involved in the process of actually making the games get paid when it’s bought and sold for a second time. However, there are several reasons why a healthy us...
