Google Image Swirl: Looks neat, but useless

I have a problem with things like Google Image Swirl. Not the offering itself, just the strange notion that somehow cool design equals usefulness. There are tons of examples floating around that have the exact same problem -- things like Bing's "Visual Search". I'm the...

Apple's "force fed ads" patent more likely related to content, not hardware

Perhaps neitherHopefully you are right and they'll use this process to allow customers to earn free content. Unfortunatley I see this as being a way for Apple to increase its warchest by forcing its followers to view ads. Perhaps it'll be a blend - view enough ads to put $10...

From the ashes of Geode, AMD brings Bobcat with 1:1 possibilities

OLPC's first laptop, the XO has been both praised and criticized for many things. Perhaps most significant was its incredibly low power consumption, critical for use in areas with very limited electrical capacity.

TiVo readying 802.11n Wi-Fi adapter?

It's been a tough slog for TiVo, whose once-innovative DVR ecosystem has been co-opted by cable companies' own DVR services. (Though some offer the TiVo interface for an additional charge.) The company and its devices still have their champions, but it's difficult to achieve mass success when buyers have to...

Google "attacking" developer community?

No.Improving their apps doesn't make them evil.Killing competition by giving away apps for "free" makes them evil.Isn't it a bit hypocritical to complain?After all Android developers are using Android which they didn't need to pay for because Google gave it to them.
