According to an article in Business Week, Apple and Microsoft have been making plans to bring The Find Engine to the iPhone, replacing Google as the search engine of choice on the rapidly aging Apple device.

Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch Tablet: A re-review

By RebelScum | Published: January 19, 2010
Back in November, Dave was able to satisfy his desire need to be able to multi-touch everything by plunking down $230 on the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch tablet.

Pixel Qi display technology “coming soon”

By Doug Groves | Published: October 17, 2009
Often, we see demos of great technology, only to see it never come out in a usable form. I was kind of worried that this may be the case with Pixel Qi and its 3Qi display technology. Instead of being a whole new type of display, replacing LCD, Plasma, OLED etc ad nauseum, 3Qi is [...]
