When Apple announced that they were rebranding their .Mac service as MobileMe, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who started thinking of all the fun possibilities for @me.com email addresses. It should be pointed out that if you’re planning to sign up for Me.com with the hopes of getting your firstname@me.com or lastname@me.com, [...]

[Edit: Hmm... Looks like Giz has taken the article down. I've removed the broken link for the time being.]
Earlier today I posted some thoughts on how the new iPhone’s GPS might make the Nike+iPod system obsolete. Right on cue, Gizmodo takes a closer look at the iPhone’s A-GPS (assisted GPS):
The term aGPS or A-GPS itself [...]

Adrien and I went to see Cloverfield on Sunday, and while it wasn’t the transcendent movie-going experience that I was hoping for, it was certainly a whole lotta fun. If you’re a monster-movie aficionado, be sure to stay for the credits. They roll for a minute or two in near silence, but then the movie’s [...]

I was a little concerned that no mention was made of the Nike+iPod Sport Kit during today’s introduction of the new iPod nano (known as the “fatty” in some circles). Even Apple’s new iPod nano web page doesn’t mention Nike+iPod integration anywhere.
However, skip over to the redesigned Nike+iPod page an you’ll see how the [...]

The September 10th issue of TIME Magazine features a modern take on the classic Rosie the Riviter poster. What makes Rosie modern? Why, iPod earbuds, of course.

Set your Tivos: The second season of Cartoon Network’s wild and wonderful superhero saga Frisky Dingo begins tonight (or more precisely, tomorrow morning) at midnight. [The season 2 premiere is also posted on the Adult Swim website.] The New York Times ran a great review when the series premiered. In a nutshell:
“If the staplers in [...]

I haven’t watched The Simpsons for years, but it still holds a special place in my heart. And as uninterested as I am in the upcoming Simpsons Movie, the photos of this 7-11 promotion make me want to jump into my car and drive down to Burbank. Tonight.

Even if you hate the iPhone and everything it stands for, there seems to be one practical use for it that everybody can love… bargaining with your current cell phone company by threatening to buy one. Metafilter guy Matt Haughey bought an iPhone over the weekend, then called Verizon to cancel his current service. He [...]

Yeah, I know it’s been nearly forever since my last post. Totally not intentional… just the way things work out sometimes. Let’s just say that I’ve taken on a couple of new projects in the past few months which are taking up much more time and energy than I had anticipated. Add to that the [...]

In November of last year, Men’s Health Magazine leaked details of the unannounced “Nike Amp+” Nike+iPod wristwatch controller in their 2007 Tech Guide. Then in January of this year, the Nike Store Europe website briefly posted the unannounced “Nike Speed+” wristwatch controller which which records run data directly from the Nike+ shoe sensor without the [...]

We’ve heard of baseball players using iPods to improve their pitching, and cricketers using iPods to improve their, um… cricketing. Now we have this report from Temple University about a medical professor and cardiologist there who’s using the iPod to teach his students how to recognize various heart murmurs.

I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of iPod armbands. I don’t find them comfortable, I don’t think they look especially good around my arm, and I’m not sure how necessary they really are. When I run, I usually just hold my iPod in my hand or clip it to my waistband. Why [...]
