iPhoneAlley: A new patent application filed by Apple
describes a process which would allow users to remotely access music
and videos located on their home computers over WiFi or cellular data
networks. The system works by syncing iTunes metadata to the device,
rather than the media itself. The metadata would list “virtual media
items” which would represent every song, […]

To understand how far the iMac has come in the last ten years, one need
look no further than the first letter in the word. When Steve Jobs
unveiled the iMac on May 6th, 1998, he explained the “i” was for
Internet. Today, connectivity is intrinsic to all personal computers,
and yet the iMac name remains, as does its […]

Daily Tech Rag: Well folks, it looks like the rumors were true, though we certainly didn’t expect it to be quite this thin. Say hello to the MacBook Air: what Steve Jobs is calling “the world’s thinnest notebook.” In many ways, this thing is a fanboy dream: a mere .16 inches thick at the bottom […]

Gizmodo: This Apple docking station patent shows a screen base in which you can slide in a MacBook through its side. While this would be difficult to do with current MacBook models, it fits perfectly with the idea of the ultra-light, ultra-slim MacBook that allegedly will be presented at MacWorld. Basically, the patent shows an […]

Notebook Review: The startup time for the Eee is about 10 seconds, and that’s when it’s being slow. Shutdown is performed with the simple one click of an “off” icon in the lower right hand of the screen (this “off” graphic is always present) and the total shutdown time is a whopping 5 seconds. We’ve […]

istartedsomething:
The word of 2007 is “multi-touch“. It’s everywhere, from the iPhone to the Microsoft Surface. We weren’t happy with just one finger on the touch-sensitive screens, we wanted to put all 10 fingers and probably some toes on too, and multi-touch was born. One of the most memorable and widespread demonstrations of multi-touch technology […]

Engadget We just got our grubby little paws on that new Palm Foleo. We’ll give you one guess about what we think. Ok, ok, look, it’s an interesting device and an interesting concept, and we’re long-time Palm fans. We like the scroll wheel, the keyboard and screen were very nice, and the browser works excellently […]

Gizmodo: Lord have mercy, Intel has just created a laptop that’s as pretty as a supermodel, and thinner, too. Codenamed the Intel Mobile Metro Notebook, this prototype was designed by Intel along with Ziba Design, and it’s a mere .7 inches thick and weighs just 2.25 pounds. It’s no dumb blonde, either, packed with […]
