Prosperent – The Adsense Alternative
Everyone knows adsense – google adwords, adsense - we all bow in thy honor. But we know damn well that we get sick of adsense and google’s restrictions. Whether it be difficulty in being accepted as an adsense publisher or adsense banning/disallowing an account based on site content. Prosperent is the new Kid on the [...]
Microsoft: Cheap PS3s Not A Concern
The console wars are officially on, not that Microsoft particularly cares. In an interview with Game Informer magazine, Xbox 360 director of product management Aaron Greenberg proudly declared, “It’s not a real concern to us.” Characterizing Sony’s anticipated PS3 numbers (over September) as a “short term bump,” he claims to be unsurprised. Given how many [...]

Spotify Adds Offline Caching For 3,333 Songs To Desktop App
The desktop version of Spotify just got better. Europe’s favorite streaming online jukebox just added offline listen to the desktop app. That means, in a nutshell, you can now cache your favorite playlists and enjoy them without an internet connection. Win! Sure, the Spotify iPhone app already does this. For those without Apple’s Jesus-phone, though, [...]
The iPhone Is Getting A Physical Keyboard…Sort Of
The headline is a tad misleading. Everyody’s favorite handset isn’t getting an actual keyboard as part of its hardware suite. Instead, it’s getting the Blackberry treatment with an accessory iPhone case (of sorts) that makes the thing look like one of RIM’s units with a front-mounted QWERTY keypad. And it’s inexplicably called the iTwinge. One [...]
3D PS3 Shown Off At IFA, Apparently Works
You have, no doubt, heard about Sony’s 3D plans for the Playstation 3. Today, they have the whole thing showing off at a booth at the IFA in Berlin.

Nokia Booklet 3G Specs Are Out, Just A Connected Netbook After All
After last week’s hype about the Nokia Booklet 3G, the “mini-laptop” finally had its specs detailed in an official way. The verdict: it’s just a netbook, alright (and an under-powered one, at that). Touting slim lines and a MacBook-like aluminum unibody, it’s one good-looking piece of hardware. Regardless, hot looks getting priced to the hilt [...]
Sony Announces PS3 Slim, Introduces Price Cuts, Console Wars About To Get Ugly
The Sony PS3 has been in the losing end of the console wars for a while now. However, diehards have always maintained that it was ahead of its time and will find its place on top once people are able to catch up with its more advanced hardware. Well, that time could be soon, as [...]
Zune HD Coming On September 15, Might Not Save The Zune As People Expect
Will Zune HD save Microsoft’s Zune brand? Judging from the current buzz going around the blogosphere, it just might. However, many aren’t too sure. Of course, Zune HD is an impressive piece of hardware. To start things off, it gets a 3.3-inch OLED touchscreen with 480 x 272 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio, playing [...]
