Facebook is unquestionably the most successful social network on the planet and is expected to IPO at a $100 billion valuation on May 17th.

I had intended on buying Instagram stock once it went public, but [...]

One of our most popular articles is reviewing the Apple TV, but that’s fairly old news now and I was getting tired of constantly updating the page. Rather than reviewing the new Apple TV (1080p) and giving it the thumbs up, I decided it would be more beneficial to outline the key features in detail. [...]

This last week, our online printing company upgraded its mobile website and I thought it might be interesting to evaluate what others were doing. I was shocked to learn how many print companies are practically ignoring mobile users. Here is what I found as of 3-12-12. Vistaprint – FAIL I was surprised that Vistaprint (vistaprint.com) [...]

No doubt Samsung and Android are blatantly copying Apple, not only to piggyback [...]

Today, I’m reading through articles on CNN and come across one by Matt Rosoff of Business Insider called TV isn’t broken, so why fix it? and I couldn’t believe what I was reading. It’s shameful that this article was found in the “Tech” section and I feel obligated to respond. We all know that I’m [...]
