In case you haven’t gone into a Starbucks [SBUX] store lately, there’s been a change to the look of the joint media offering card format.

Not to be outdone by other e-tailers and even brick-and-mortar retailers, Amazon.com [AMZN] has furthered its reach, since the “online” Black Friday deals and yesterday’s Cyber Monday sale… by adding yet more deals as the winter holiday sales season rages onward, toward the inevitable Christmas splurginess (yeah, not really a universally recognized term yet, but [...]
“What?!? An Xbox 360 for serious business use?” Yep, that’s right, gentle readers: a Microsoft [MSFT] Xbox 360 with a properly configured Kinect sensor… for use by businesses. While this may not be the disruptive change leader for 2010 (although, then again… maybe it is), this certainly is an attractive video conferencing option for business [...]
Apple’s [AAPL] lockstep dance with AT&T [T] as its exclusive 3G service provider may be ending, with Verizon [VZ] showing up to the dance hall seemingly first. So what’s a mobile data services consumer going to do?

This commemorates Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary, and curiously, the game map spells out “Google”… So if you’re in the [...]
Just when you thought you’d be able to keep your fictitious game characters separate from your, ahem, characters, there’s a bit of bleedthrough, as reported at Destructoid, about General Knoxx and his newly discovered Twitter account. It looks like he’ll be taking a bit of a tweeting breather for an unspecified bit. It’s likely that [...]
As I’m tracking a variety of media channels at the same time as the Apple [AAPL] iPad announcement, I find it curious as to how the human condition, and certainly all of these so-called tech pundits, keeps wanting to compare new tech with old tech. When I’ve been using the iPod touch in the practice, [...]
During the holiday season, there’s always that frantic search for that cool, new gadget to give your friend or significant other, who happens to be a technical bent.
