It's a good time to be in a geek in the UK at the moment. Over the past week there's been a raft of announcements for predominately US-based offerings making it across the pond so here's a quick round up of the latest news. Barnes and Noble are bringing the Nook to Britain and if the marketing is right, it

I have tried a lot of news aggregators over the years, including Google Reader, Reeder, Shrook, NetNewsWire, NewsFire on the desktop. On iOs I have tried Zite, Pulse, Flipboard just to name a few. I keep trying new ones because I am never quite satisfied with the one I am using. One of the problems I have with most of
Last year Grooveshark made a brief appearance in the Google Play Store (known as the Android Marketplace at the time), but was pulled due to disputes with music labels. Those disputes aren't entirely resolved and the music service is still in the midst of legal wranglings with three of the four major labels. With the lawsuits in mind, it was
Google recently introduced the Nexus 7 tablet and it became an immediate hit and probably the most popular Android tablet on the market with the possible exception of Amazon's Kindle Fire. The Nexus 7 can only be purchased online through the Google Play Store or at select retail locations like GameStop. While Google hasn't been pushing the advertisements for the

I like Kickstarter. It's a world full of promise, where great ideas vie for money. I've pledged for a handful of projects, most of which met their funding targets and of those, all delivered on their promises.

I had the chance to drive the New 2013 Ford C-MAX Hybrid in sunny Los Angeles along with Jeffery Powers from Geekazine. My first impression of the car is that is a very nice looking vehicle. It defiantly has a Ford family resemblance. From the Grill and headlights on back, you can tell it's a new Ford. The C-MAX is
When I heard the verdict on the Apple v. Samsung case, I was angry. Angry with Samsung for copying, angry with Apple for suing, angry with jurors for naivety, angry with the legal system for letting itself be a pawn. Over the weekend, I've mellowed a little but I'm still concerned about the impact it will have on consumers. Apple is
The United States is in the midst of an extremely heated and contentious political season. I expect that things are going to increase in intensity as we get closer to November. Political advertisements that are designed to promote a particular candidate, or to disparage the opponent of a particular candidate, are everywhere! These ads can be found on Facebook, in
I won't try to write a eulogy or a tribute. I will leave that up to people who know more than me, but I did want to take a moment to post a tribute of some sort to the man who inspired a whole new generation of explorers. Without Neil Armstrong so many things we take for granted now may
Let me be clear that I only casually paid attention to the Apple-Samsung court circus and that I am an Android user anyway. Further, I had been planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for some time.
