10 minutes with the Nexus One that this guy would like to share with the world. Pretty self explanatory. Click the play button and boom! Nothing explodes though… The Nexus One is lookin’ awfully nice. -Simon simon(at)thetechsketch.com

Goodness gracious, so much Nexus One news. Google, hurry up with that press conference! Anyway, back with the guy who was one of the first people to actually leak photos out of the Nexus One, here are the new, higher resolution, gallery, courtesy of Engadget (Pssss. Click the image up there!). Oh and check out [...]

ComScore reported this year that online sales have reached $27 billion. That’s a rather large jump over 2008 which ranked up about $26 billion, meaning that there was a 5% increase from holiday sales from 2008 to 2009. This achievement is spectacular and means quite a bit. One, it means online holiday sales have grown, [...]

There is oh so much leaked information about the Nexus One, yes, here is so much more. Quoted from Gizmodo. • Yeah, it’s $530 unsubsidized. Google’s not going to be selling the phone at cost, like so many people considered. They’re not going to save us from the “making money off of hardware” culture we’ve [...]

According to that image up there, it’s all true! The Google Phone is rather secretly confirmed my T-Mobile. Interestingly enough though, T-Mobile never said the words “Nexus One” in that entire report. Based on that, naming of this Google Phone could still be up in the air. “Nexus One” doesn’t seem like something the mainstream [...]

You thought table tennis was at a point where it was as extreme as it could get? You thought wrong my friend. These Brodmann Blades Ping Pong Gloves showed all of us wrong. Essentially what these gloves are are ping pong paddles, on your hands. Rather than holding a paddle, you wear one! Genius, I [...]

With Microsoft Office 2010 on it’s way and with web based working environments, what happens with Google? As you probably already know, Google Docs is essentially Google Office, or iGoogleWork. You can create spreadshirts, documents, presentations, etc. The thing is, Microsoft Office has always been offline based. Contrary, Google Docs, as with most all of Google’s [...]

With 2009 almost over, and no signs of any new gadgets and gizmos releasing, we’d like to know what you’re looking forward to in 2010. Whether it be Apple releasing a rumored iSlate, to the new iPhone 4th Gen, to the Nexus One, to any sort of new gadget. Heck, it doesn’t need to be [...]

With DisplaySearch’s statistics being released, claiming netbooks raised in sales in 2009, and laptops and the like fell, I’m curious to know whether netbooks are just something that will rise one year, and completely bomb in the next. Now, how would you define a netbook? A mini-laptop? An underpowered, smaller, notebook? Well, both of whose [...]

Woo! Now you can take photos and upload them to Yelp! And you can share the business! That’s essentially the new features in this new Yelp update, along with a few minor bug fixes. This app is now at 1.2, so if you’re lower than 1.2, update it! You have an awesome feature of uploading [...]

Well, Yahoo offices are basically, shutting down for the Winter break. Which means, the website, Yahoo, will still be up, duh, but the offices are going to be hibernating. This hibernation takes place from Christmas day to January first. Essentially what’s happening here is that Yahoo employees will have to take an unpaid break, or [...]

Well, if you have a BlackBerry, you’ve probably noticed that in the past few hours, BIS has been down! Goodness gracious RIM, this month just isn’t for you is it? Well not so much your phones, but how your phones work, that is. Services are just having random spasms of outages. Anyway, anything consuming data [...]

Well, this is awesome. Ford announced that their next generation of their Sync system will allow people to plug in modems and boom, their car is a Wi-Fi hotspot. Their Sync system already allows you to play music, make calls, get directions, etc. But this will allow you to use that internet. From laptops to [...]
