Seeking to help users organize and view TV content online, ZeeVee recently launched the latest iteration of its video browser. Currently in beta, the new Zinc browser, formerly named "Zviewer," has more than just a new name. Besides new content from existing video hubs such as Hulu, Fox, YouTube, C...
Over the past year or so, e-readers have suddenly become a must-have gadget. Amazon's Kindle e-reader was even named one of talk show host Oprah Winfrey's favorite things in 2008. With the recent release of the second iteration of the Kindle, electronic books and their accompanying devices are back ...
Messing around with the hard drive's structure is high on my list of the most unpleasant things to do with a computer. However, my basic do-it-myself credo is to never pay a computer shop guy to do what I can handle myself. My corollary to that philosophy is to never pay for software you can get for...
After a year in development and testing, Google last month added an offline mail client to provide local access to mail folders when there is no Internet connection. Gmail Offline is still experimental and limited to synchronizing a maximum of 10,000 messages. It does not yet provide offline access ...
California-based LeapFish launched a new style of search engine last month, offering users a multi-dimensional search aggregator that combines several features to provide more focused results. This one deserves a prominent spot in your browser bookmarks. Similar to the Gogimon Search Channel, which ...
Toolbars and add-ons bring increased functionality to Web browsers and the computers that run them. UK-based SpinVox does the same thing for cell phone users. The company offers several services that convert voicemail to text messages or e-mail and allow message broadcasting to listed recipients and...
Netbook computers remind me of travel toothbrushes and portable air mattresses. You use them only when you need to move a lot, like when you're on the road or camping or running around at a trade show. They're just not nearly as functional or comfortable as the at-home version. But when you're on th...
Creating strong passwords with letters and numbers is vital to keeping secure access to computers and online accounts. Remembering them and easily retrieving them are equally vital. A password is only as good as the user's ability to remember it. In today's world of mobile access and multiple accoun...
The drawback with using most search engines is they all seem to give similar results and generally all have the same look and feel. They lack personalization and offer a mostly boring environment. "Most people select the first few results on Google, even though Yahoo and Microsoft Live give better b...
One day, when I go on to the "Great Reward," my hope is that my epitaph will include something about how much I love music. I'm a music fan, but not a stodgy one who will only listen to my tunes on the finest of equipment. Rather, I've always wanted to create my own music. A permissive childhood lef...
Nintendo developers really had no choice but to make the Wii controllers wireless. Whipping around a Wiimote that's wired to the console, which is wired to the TV, which is wired to the wall -- it's just a recipe for domestic calamity. So the Wiimote is very thankfully wireless. You can also get wir...
I'm a big fan of cooking shows. In particular, The Food Network's "Iron Chef" and "Iron Chef America" are must-view programming for me. As a home cook with chef-esque pretensions, watching Cat Cora, Mario Batali, Masaharu Morimoto and others battle other chefs to make fantastic dishes within 60 min...
When Sprint announced that Baltimore would be the location of the first rollout for Xohm, a new long-range wireless broadband technology known more lately as "Clear," I could hardly believe it. Baltimore is not particularly known as a hub of technology. Want crabs, we got 'em. Under Armor, we've got...
Among the titles Nintendo highlighted during E3 this year, "Animal Crossing: City Folks" stood out. Previously a bestselling franchise on the Nintendo GameCube, the updated Wii version, Nintendo said, would take advantage of the console's Internet connection and new Wii Speak microphone accessory to...
Just like anyone else who saw the original "Star Wars" when it was released back in the late '70s, I've always wanted to enter the galactic fray and emerge triumphant in a lightsaber duel, to cross swords with a Dark Side opponent and hear the vwhoom-vwhoom as my saber slices through the air and spa...
