Someone tell me that there was a push nationwide for people to include an ‘SMS Signature’ automatically on each of their text messages. For some unknown reason, in the last week, suddenly, everyone has a freaking signature on their text messages.
Now most people do sensible things - like put their name. ‘Pete’ was [...]

Gadgets are a great way to get the blood pumping for a lot of us out there - and I am one of the first to admit it - and it takes a lot. The thought of using my laptop display 30 feet across the room from my plasma without wires really got my blood pumping as I sought to test out the AItech International ProPC/TV Wireless.

This baby is pretty cool, with two little boxes and convenient cables with well-thought out design beyond what would be necessary made this puppy seem like I was going to be relishing in gadget bliss. But maybe I spoke too soon.

Okay, so by [...]

Nokia, attempting to provide ‘Green’ in their business reputation, announced today that they would be releasing a new feature on upcoming models which ‘beeps’ and provides visual notification that the battery is charged and should be unplugged.

This was an effort developed in collaboration with other European companies and regulators to reduce emissions and power usage. Is this really the best that they could come up with? A software change that triggers a noise and message beckoning the user to unplug the device?

How about this, Nokia and EU green party: How about you enable the phone to turn off any power consumption after the battery is fully charged, allowing it to start recharging after a 10% or greater battery capacity loss. Is this so difficult for it to turn off it’s hunger for electricity, power and connection to the living, electric world?

Apple announced today that they won’t be shipping their latest operating system, Mac OS X Leopard, until October. Leveraging the O/S team for iPhone tweaks is getting the blame for the delay. Aside from the daunting task of ensuring ‘everything works,’ is it possible, even just for a second, that this O/S delay, like most operating system release dates, is only a reason to get more press?

Apple’s released statement regarding the delay was rife with information and sexy language about the iPhone, perhaps only attempting to get it more deeply embedded in everyone’s minds - while providing them a little ‘breathing room’ to get the release and phone done on time.

It’s not usual for me to drool all over any new piece of hardware - it takes a lot, and today - well, I found one of those things when I decided to try out the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System. Let me tell you - there is nothing for me to complain about with it. First of all, let me explain what exactly this thing is. It’s a way for you to have multiple music receivers in your home utilizing a single PC as the primary music source. Up to four receivers can be used one location. The receiver doubles as a charging station for the uber-cool remote control.

With the world ‘going digital,’ it’s no surprise that over 2,000 movie theatres in the US are using digital projection technology.

A new system currently proposed by a consortium of the largest movie chains in the US “could give theater operators the flexibility to put a popular movie on an extra screen as quickly as the demand for it arises. At the same time, theater operators could boot out a surprise stinker and even book in for a day or two an art-house film with a small but devoted audience.”

This new ‘on demand’ flexibility could allow for great options, especially at smaller theaters who can get one good showing a day, but has to keep running the same film 3 or more times the same day with a handful of viewers. Different films on those three other showing times could allow for increased selection, higher attendance per screening and maximize the seat capacity of every theatre - from 1 to 100 screens!
