Next assimilation complete – Microsoft acquires Danger, Inc.
Danger, Inc. is the company who invented the Sidekick Smartphone. I have seen it, it’s pretty nifty I have to say. That’s probably what the Borg must have thought (from now on: The Borg = Microsoft) when they saw this and wanted to assimilate the technology to further “perfect” themselves. The similarities between the fictional …

Like Apple TV Take 2, but looks nicer
And, well, it’s more customizable, and no iTunes is required. Sounds strange from someone who otherwise likes Apple so much, yes? Don’t get me wrong, I think the Apple TV Take 2 is a great thing, but it still is tied to the fact that either iTunes and your movies, TV shows etc. is required. …

SEtv (BAtv Take 2)
Some months back I was showing off a multimedia PC I have built, that I named BAtv. The first two letters are the initials of the street in which the house is from which I have moved away last weekend. The box had the aim to provide a richer, centralized multimedia experience that should also …

iTouch now available in 32 GB
Silently and quietly the Apple Store went down today to upgrade it. No one was really sure what this was for. Well, now it’s official: The iPod touch is now available in a staggering 32 GB size, but the other two are available as well. And yes, the 16 GB iPhone has landed as well. …

This probably comes to OS X 10.6
At least this would be my guess. It’s called PicLens and takes viewing pictures on the Internet to the next level. Say, you browse a Flickr gallery of a friend, but the page only displays so many pictures at once. What if, you could seem ‘em all, at once? Well PicLens allows you this, Apple …
