I think it’s safe to say that we have quite a few Xbox 360 fans in our audience. And, I’ll be honest: I’m right there with you– I love my console. So, when I came across a number of Xbox-related stories, I felt obliged to spread the news. Fair warning: some of it’s good and, regrettably, some [...]

There’s a timeless saying that pictures are worth a thousands words. Another favorite of mine (albeit it’s slightly newer) is the one that says infographics are wortha hundred million words. OK, so maybe I made up that last one. But regardless, infographics are a great and easy way to learn.
The infographic below takes a comprehensive [...]

At this very moment, I’m dancing around my house like a four-year-old girl who just got the latest Barbie for Christmas. Why, you ask?
The news out of Microsoft’s Electronic Entertainment Expo presentation
(or E3, as the cool kids call it)just makes me giddy.
Luckily for you, I won’t bore you with the non-essentials– I’ll just move [...]

Microsoft has revealed that the final name for its Project Natal will be Kinect.

At an electrifying (by all accounts) event put on by none other than Cirque du Soleil, where reporters donned ponchos and no electronic devices of any kind were allowed, Microsoft took the wraps off the final device… Microsoft Kinect. 
After an Italian ad [...]

I’m sure you’re all excited for Project Natal, Microsoft’s latest addition to the Xbox 360 gaming console. I mean, who wouldn’t be? The idea of having a complete, interactive gaming experience without having to use a controller just sounds so…crazy. Crazy is exactly right.
Watch below as these people test out Project Natal and feel free [...]

Well, here you go Steve– isn’t this exactly what you’ve been waiting for?
Earlier today, Adobe announced that a “a critical vulnerability exists in Adobe Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and earlier versions…” In layman’s terms, the bug could cause the user’s computer to crash and give full access to the attacker.

We’re being told that Adobe’s already working [...]

Project Natal, Microsoft’s latest endeavor in the video-game world, is a motion-sensing add-on to Microsoft’s current Xbox 360 Platform; it gives users an interactive gaming experience through motion-sensing technology. The controller-free environment of Project Natal is a step up from the current motion sensing devices, like Nintendo’s Wiimote and Sony’s Move controller.
Since Natal’s announcement back [...]

Hot off the heals of Microsoft canceling the somewhat confirmed Courier device, HP’s decided to cancel something with a bit more substance: the infomous Slate. That’s 1 and 1/2 major blows for Microsoft in just two days!

If you recall, Steve Balmer announced the HP Slate (we assume that was its official name) just a [...]

The Microsoft Courier is dead. The Courier, Microsoft’s supposed dual screen, fold out tablet was supposed to run a sweet, customized version of Windows CE.  However that’s all in the past, as Microsoft’s confirmed the non-confirmed: project terminated.
This tablet was one of the coolest things out of Redmond since Windows, so it’s definitely sad to see Microsoft [...]

Palm must feel pretty stupid right about now. Three weeks ago, the company ditched its advertising agency, Modernista!. According to Palm, it was a “way to save money”. If you ask me, it was Modernistas!’s ineffective ads that ended the relationship; they failed to show off the Pre’s features and creeped out potential customers with an [...]

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the Kin series of phones, formerly known as ‘Project Pink.’  The Kin One and Kin Two are the brainchildren of Microsoft’s acquisition of Danger a few years back.  These two new phones aim to “socially connect people”, specifically teenagers.  They’re based off of Windows Mobile 7, but have a special UI (much like what [...]
