If you spend any time in hotel rooms then already you know how vauable a resource and outlet can be. If you don’t carry a power bar around with you your gadgets have to compete for the one or two outlets that may be free in your room. Nothing is more annoying that swapping around [...]

Hotlinking, inline linking, leeching, piggy-backing, direct linking or offsite image grabs. No matter what you call it 99% of the time it’s wrong. Bandwidth costs money. I spent sometime over the holidays examining my logs and noticed that there were a ton of sites hotlinking back to images we had posted. Worst of all, most [...]

I love my iPhone 4, don’t get me wrong, but the old additive of the grass is always greener on the other side alway creeps up. Both the iPhone and an Android based device have their pros and their cons. Unless you can justify dishing out some big bucks monthly for an iPhone and Android [...]

Now that I am finally convinced that social media is not a fad I have decided to bring tech.nocr.at into the current century. I have received many an email from readers wondering why we aren’t on Facebook or why we aren’t on Digg? I have been a big believer of twitter over the past year [...]

Earlier today Google and Verizon issued a joint policy statement surrounding net neutrality or what they refer to as a “Policy Proposal for an Open Internet”. I can’t even begin to lay out how wrong this is. <rant on> First, what the hell Google? Were you not one of the champions of an open a [...]

Just a few days ago, Feb 16 to be exact, in 1978 Ward Christensen and Randy Suess launched the first ever Bulletin Board System in Chicago. Many people belive that the BBS was the predecesor to the modern internet, a crude form I will agree but a much more enjoyable form of social interaction online [...]

Woops, looks like 10.6.2 won’t kill support for the Atom chip after all. All you netbook hackintosh users can now breath a sigh of relief. We reported a few days ago that the latest developer build of Leopard had support for the Atom chipset removed. None of the Apple hardware uses the Atom chip so [...]

Why would you crush your empty pop or beer cans with your foot or even your head when you could lug out a device that’s 30x the size of the can and probably use more electricity than the actual cost of the can? Because you can, that’s why. By using a high voltage source and [...]

Don’t get me wrong, a good solid mouse it a must, especially if your a hardcore gamer, but $1200? I don’t think so. The ID Mouse from Intelligent design looks great and I’m sure it’s comfortable (at $1200 no wonder they won’t send us a review unit), but the last thing I want to do [...]

Yep, you heard me correctly, a nuclear battery. Researchers at the University of Missouri have created super tiny nuclear power sources that can be used as batteries. Dead gadgets and XBox 360 controllers will soon be a thing of the past. The secret to these tiny power plants is the use of new liquid semiconductors [...]

3M just announced that their MPro110 tiny projector would hit the market in late September. This was awesome news for people who are on the road a lot and have to lug around projectors to do presentations. But did you know that Chinavision is already selling a tiny projector? Built into a cell phone no-less. [...]

Could this be the new MacBook Pro, the aluminum Mac’s that have been shipping? I sure hope not, I just bought a fully loaded MacBook Pro last week. The above image comes to us courtesy of a German division of T-Mobile. This image clearly looks like a rending and not an actual image, but rumours [...]

Engadget seems to have gotten their hands on some snaps of what seems to be the HTC Dream. It also seems to match up with the FCC documents of the premier Android device that made the rounds of the net a few weeks ago. The unit comes with both a touch screen and a [...]

A couple weeks ago we talked about Asus’s next UMPC, the N10. While we reported that the price tag would probably be somewhere in the $500 to $600 range, well, we were wrong. The beautiful looking N10 is ready for pre-order for $850, not exactly in the budget notebook realm. I’m sure it’s an awesome [...]
