Leaked New iPod Touch Dimensions?
I tend not to jump into iPod rumours since I have been wrong so many times, but since Kevin Rose release some info that was sent to him about Apple revving their iPod line to include a very Zune-ish style nano it’s hard not to say something. iLounge has gotten their hands on what they [...]
MobileMe Gives You Another 60 Days
I’ve been a big proponent of Apple upgrading it’s .Mac service. Once I heard that they were revamping it to the MobileMe system I was ecstatic, boy was I wrong.

If you ever lose this remote control, something is serious wrong with you.

The massive tablet-sized remote offers a bunch of physical instead of those wimpy [...]

Media downloading made simple
Ever seen an online video you wanted to save for later? Something informative, or just plain hysterical? I have. I’ve tried the Firefox Plugin “Video Downloader“. It works, but you have to be using Firefox (Yes, there still are people in the world who don’t use it) and that doesn’t make it very portable. Then [...]
