Crime in the Apple Store
Crime doesn’t pay boys and girls. App developer Moliker has allegedly been scamming the app store by creating fraudulent reviews for its applications, of which it has over 1000. That’s a lot of apps! Apple has pulled them all from the App Store for the time being. Read more at AppleInsider.com.
Logitech Anywhere MX mouse review
One of the first things that always grabs my attention about a mouse is the physical appearance, and this mouse looks awesome. I think it’s the low wide body wedge shape that captures my attention. It almost seems shaped like a sports car, like a Lotus Exige, for example. Maybe that’s a bit of a [...]

Engadget on the Palm Pre
Engadget got their hands on a Palm Pre: “There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Pre, and with a device this new, you can never truly understand what the experience will be like until you put it through the test of an average day’s work. That said, Palm has made enormous strides with [...]
Galcon: Best iPhone game yet
I was just introduced to Galcon a couple days ago and I have to say that it is by far THE BEST iPhone game that I’ve played to date. Galcon is a fast paced strategy game that dives you right into the meat and potatoes of what you’re looking for in nearly every strategy game [...]

Running Windows, however painful, is still important for me because I’m a software developer mainly for Microsoft technologies – I’d like to be able to be able to program in .NET 3.5 and Silverlight using Visual Studio 2008… I didn’t want [...]
BlackBerry Storm review: just a small breeze
David Pogue wrote a review for the BlackBerry Storm and the conclusion isn’t very good. It’s terrible. Instead of being a Storm, it seems the latest BlackBerry was just a small breeze. They should have named it accordingly and we wouldn’t have been expecting so much. It reminds me of those contests that drink companies [...]
