New iPods are scheduled to be announced by Apple today and we decided to pool together for one big gigantic rumor round-up. As usual, some of these Apple related rumors are far flung, friggin' crazy larks of wishful geeky imagination. Others are much more realistic. Still, it's tons of fun gathering the obscure to the well publicized rumors. Before we jump in, let's make one thing clear. ..... [ read more ]

Surprise! New iPod Touches are just around the weekend. News breaking that Apple's scheduled to release these next week. I was excited as my iPod Touch is way overdue for an upgrade, but everyone else around here let out a simultaneous "meh" at the news. Apple's fallen into a bit of predictable pattern as far as iPod/iPod Touches are concerned. They always come in September and iPod..... [ read more ]

If you write things down(and you should) then you need AwesomeNote. AwesomeNote has replaced notepad as my goto note app. I got it was because it allows creation of folders where I can organize and group my notes.

I'm a sucker for Japanese chique. Really, no other way to describe Tunewear's latest creation to come state-side, their Game Handle. The packaging screams "look at me! I'm cool! Buy me!". At around $20, it's not that bad of a proposition either. I actually like the hot-pick packaging. I've heard from some folks that they found it a little unsettling. Who cares?!
