Any TV you buy will work with any cable or satellite TV service you have. Any PC you buy, even a Mac, will work with any Internet service provider you use. Any landline phone, wired or cordless, will work any phone company’s landline service. So can you buy any cellphone you want regardless of who your carrier is? Of course. Unless you live in USA
I don't know that I agree that this piece is so dumb. Lots of phones that I seem to be attracted to (smartphones that are not so crackberry in appearance - decent processing power, features, multiple uses) aren't offered on…
UC Berkeley graduate journalism student James Karl Buck was arrested on April 10 without any charges in Egypt for photographing a demonstration. He used his mobile phone to twitter the message Arrested? to his 48 followers, who contacted UC Berkeley, the US Embassy and a number of press organizations on his behalf.
disclaimer: I love Twitter, I just think that as a crowd we still haven’t the right skills or tools to sip what’s right from the firehose of twits that gushes in our face when we “follow” hundreds of…

The Greek technology site iPhone Hellas has been poking around in the iPhone 2 beta firmware and found all sorts of GPS-related goodies, as well as some more YouTube and Google integration, but the really interesting thing (to me anyway) is that they have also found the following string buried deep in the code: BRICKED_AND_SIM_LOCKED_STRING?.
OK, I understand Apple feeling the need to play the cat and mouse game with iPhone hackers in trying to keep the iPhone secure and such, but for Apple to openly put a string in their code that flaunts their “bricking” an iPhone…
Two new companies that want to monitor every single site you visit on the Web argue that they are in fact protecting your privacy, because they retain much less information than search engines and other Internet advertising companies.
I don’t understand why people think that technology changes anything regarding your privacy. Would you want someone video taping and noting you and your children coming and going from your house (after all it is a public street -…

It is a bit of an awkward, and perhaps even a suggestive name, but LegalTorrents.com reopens today as a community driven BitTorrent site where users and publishers are able to share Creative Commons licensed content.
Recently, more and more publishers have started to use BitTorrent to distribute their works, so their is certainly a market for a site such as Legaltorrents. However, the success of the site will largely depend on the size and participation level…

We’ve always believed that the perceived quality boost that comes from using high-end cables is really just a trick of the mind (read: justifying the ridiculous cost of premium cables to yourself) — if you’ve dropped enough cash, you can probably hear anything you want….
Lay consumers are probably the number one buyer of MONSTER CABLES and I'm fairly certain that these purchases happen mostly at BEST BUY, CIRCUIT CITY and PC Richard.I worked for Best Buy years ago while I was in college. Best Buy pushes…
ou don’t have to venture very far to dig up unofficial concepts for Apple products of all sorts, but this one from designer Nuno Teixeira is certainly more attention grabbing than most, even if it isn’t any more realistic. Dubbed the “iMac iView,” the main distinguishing feature here is obviously the curved screen…
I could see this to be useful for a receptionist kind of environment where they might want to display map/contact/etc info to a client but still want their phone system software and/or computer desktop private from prying client eyes like this:…
So, your a new, or fairly moderate Linux user, who wants to know what the true advantages of Linux over Windows are? There are several advantages of Linux, and of course, some disadvantages to using the Linux operating system. This article covers 5 advantages of using Linux over Windows, and lists a few disadvantages as well.
Wow, I love coming to these blogs about the advantages of linux over windows because the people who tend to write things are very similiar to politicians who are to set in their ways to even think that there may be good in 2 sides of any issue….
A satire article about Carlos Zambrano feeling the need to get a MacBook Air laptop computer before he reports to spring practice for the Chicago Cubs. Absolutely hilarious stuff…

In a major file-sharing legal case in the United States, a renowned P2P expert has offered his critique of the expert witness report offered by the RIAA. Prof. Johan Pouwelses testimony will be a devastating blow to the music industry as he labels RIAA expert Doug Jacobsons report as borderline incompetent?.
He further states that no other alternative explanations were investigated and no tests were carried out to determine a margin of error. Jacobson’s methods are “self-developed”, “unpublished”…
