This seems like one of those things that could be really useful, or could make us ever so fatter. Startup company in California, Double Robotics has decided that they want to revolutionise video conferencing with their product they’ve simply named “Double”. They’ve created this little mobile iPad stand that can be remote-controlled via an iPhone, iPad, […]
This is actually a rather amusing parody of the Apple Macbook ad. Even for the Apple fans, so long as you have a bit of a sense of humour! (The article I got it from though is rather rough on Apple though…) This is the original Apple video that inspired the parody, in case you […]
The judge hearing the intellectual property case between Apple and Samsung has pleaded with the two firms to make one last attempt at reaching a settlement. Lucy Koh (pictured) warned both sides that letting a jury decide was effectively a crapshoot. As we’ve previously covered, this is one of the rare cases where one of […]
Mississippi residents are most likely to break an iPhone or iPad according to newly published figures. The figures come from Square Trade, a company that offers extended warranty policies for electronic devices. They take population into account and represent the expected proportion of policyholders making an accidental damage claim over a two year period. The […]

Oh my god, Microsoft actually did something that works really, really well. Who would’ve thought it? I’m currently travelling and there’s nothing like going on a holiday to test out travel apps and see what can and can’t work when you’re on the move, going on tours and have limited Internet connection. First let me […]
Qantas will be the first airline to completely replace their inflight entertainment system with iPads. Passengers will have the capability of accessing Qantas’ own entertainment system, QStreaming, through their iPads and will also have inflight wifi to check emails and surf the web. Having flown Qantas many, many times, I’m constantly unimpressed with their entertainment […]
Samsung was officially labeled as uncool by a British judge earlier this month, but it’s Apple that will face the real embarrassment: it’s now been ordered to place advertisements confirming Samsung isn’t a copycat. This particular front of the patent wars involves Apple’s claims that the original version of the Galaxy Tab ripped off the […]
