Archive for the “Tech News” CategoryApple is one of the major leaders in the multitouch space and yet, the company’s desire to bring a full-fledged touch-screen device to store shelves has stopped with the iPhone. In fact, the most it has done in bringing multitouch to its computers is offering the functionality in the track pad on its MacBook Air. But simply offering multitouch on a trackpad isn’t enough to make consumers want to flock to Apple products instead of HP or Dell machines. Instead, Apple needs to embrace the fact that many people prefer touch-screen technology and create a Mac that offers the same basic functionality found in the iPhone. Innovation has been a key to Apple’s success over the past decade and without it, the company would be nothing more than another personal vendor. But by releasing a Mac that eclipses the functionality of the tablet Computer and fully harnesses the power of multitouch in a way that no one has seen before, Apple can create the computing world’s first iPhone-like success. And in the process, Apple could single-handedly propel the computing market forward into a new era where vanilla products are the exception and establish itself as the de facto leader in innovation. … source The Digital Home

The Digital Home Video: Hands-on with the Logitech Harmony OnePosted by: admin in Tech NewsPress play to watch me discuss the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote! And as always, drop me a line or follow me on Twitter! source The Digital Home At this week’s Intel Developer Forum, Steve Wozniak took the stage and discussed his career and his hope for the future of tech. All the while, it had me thinking about what I would like to see happen in this brave, new world of technology and how I hope that derivative products don’t ruin this industry’s appeal to the mainstream. “We had dreams that personal would improve education and improve communication and help us achieve a lot of tasks. A lot of us in our group understood it,” Woz told the crowd. “What we were doing was not (figuring out) how build a computer. It was how you get a personal that fits into the home. Price, looks–a lot of that stuff. It gave us more passion. We used the word ‘revolution’ all over the place. “The rewards are in your head.” As a person that loves technology and has dedicated his life to the covering, opining about, and using it, I hope Wozniak’s words inspire not just engineers, but companies that are looking to do special things. I hope that what Wozniak says so eloquently will resonate in the offices of Dell or the garages of companies we’ve never heard of before. I hope that innovation, that easy premise that we see so tiny of today, will lead this industry forward and become the cornerstone of its development from now on. … source The Digital Home

The Digital Home Video: Will iTunes become subscription-based?Posted by: admin in Tech NewsWill iTunes become a subscription-based service? I certainly don’t think so. And as always, drop me a line or follow me on Twitter! source The Digital Home With the upcoming release of Spore making just about each gamer’s mouth water, I couldn’t help but wonder if the game will be the greatest of all time. I comprehend that it’s premature to even advocate that a game we haven’t ever played will somehow be the ideal game ever, but with the hype surrounding it and those that are “in the know” saying it’s really that great, it’s easy for all of us to get caught up in that kind of hype. Daniel Terdiman, who writes the over at the Gaming and Culture blog here on CNET, recently interviewed Will Wright to discuss Spore and delve deep into the inner-workings of his mind and his creation. After reading through that interview, a number of things stuck out in my mind. Does Will Wright truly believe that Spore will ideal the Sims franchise? Is Will Wright the industry’s premier innovator and the one man that’ll be able to propel it forward into a new era? And most importantly, will Spore, after the dust settles, be considered the greatest game of all time by the majority of people? … source The Digital Home Will VoIP become the technology of choice for the future of cell phones?

… source The Digital Home Nielsen yesterday released a study it conducted on the popularity of the top 10 search engines for July. As expected, Google sat atop the list, commanding more than 60 percent of the market after enjoying 16 percent year-over-year growth. Trailing behind, Yahoo and Microsoft captured 17.4 percent and 11.9 percent of the market, respectively. More importantly, both companies lost ground to Google–Yahoo witnessed an 11 percent decline, while Microsoft suffered through a 10 percent decline. And even though countless tech pundits will chime in and discuss exactly why Google has been able to run roughshod over its competition, few will point out one basic fact that’s too often overlooked: Google search is designed to get rid of you as quickly as possible. Surely, some will attribute Google’s success to its superior search results or Yahoo’s management troubles or Microsoft’s poor offering, but it goes far beyond that. Search isn’t simply about relevant results or the competition. Instead, search is all about getting you to your destination as swiftly as possible. And so far, it’s quite apparent that only Google understands that basic premise. … source The Digital Home |
