Twitter popularized the desktop client for social networking with third-party software such as TweetDeck. With the introduction, recently, of Google+ and Google's release of a mobile app, but lack of a desktop version, I had wondered if third-parties would jump in to fill the void. I had planned to install, test, and write a review of a new Google+ desktop
Jeffrey Powers looks at the fake Apple store that showed up in Kunming. More to the point, this is not the first time a fake store has arisen.
Looks like someone is messing with my net connections while I am streaming the show. Twice in two weeks the net connection has went dead while live time to do some digging. Lots of tech tonight but the last two shows the intro has slipped a bit in length. I will get that re-aligned next show. So far nothing but
This is not full review of Lion, but just my initial look. I downloaded Lion as soon as it became available in the Mac App Store. I know that some of you are saying you should have waited, but when it comes to OS I like to live dangerously and try the newest thing when it becomes available. It took
You win some you loose some. But I will be honest an extra set of hands would be great. First five minutes of the show are comical as you will see. An absolute metric ton of tech tonight. Be advised the primary Video feed is going HD and the Mobile Video feed will much more manageable. Note to Subscribers: Rough
While Android started off very slowly from it's debut, it has become the leading smartphone OS. Google recently claimed 500,000 activations per day.

First Spotify appears to have more tracks in it’s collection 15 million compared to 8 million for Slacker. They both appear to have
Facebook's problems are slowly becomming Google+'s problems. A link showed up a few days ago on Facebook for a Google+ application invite. Little did people know it wasn't a Google+ invite, yet a malware site that tried to get your personal information. Sophos reported the scam on their blog on the 13th. When you select the link, you will be
I feel much better about the sustainability of this show after todays, research and coverage. What is interesting is that in pre-show research I thought I had a app that we would demo that would act funny. Well during the show it worked fine.. Just goes to show you that if the cloud has an issue apps will break. Check
The history of advancing technology is long littered with accusations of copyright infringement along with charges of outright thievery. The problem seems to stem from ever-changing definitions of what comprises a song, a performance, or a book. Back in the days when the player piano was invented, musicians themselves seemed to define a song as a live performance. Hence, the

Controversy. The world of news seems to thrive on it, including the world of tech news. Ever wonder what goes on inside a premier tech company like Google? I just finished listening to “In The Plex: How Google Thinks, Works, and Shapes Our Lives” written by Steven Levy and narrated by L.J. Ganser. “In The Plex” is all about Google
