Mac OS X start up sound volume control

I don’t get why people have to get so technical with these things. It’s great that they came up with a downloadable preference pane for OSX but why didn’t they just turn the volume off before they shut their machine down? I think I’ll stick with the volume option and wait for this very minor [...]

The 20 Most Innovative Products of the Year

Microsoft Office beating things like YouOS (which I just heard about and really like), and the Nintendo Wii. This is BS. I mean is it just me or did they just take the last office and just confuse people by completely changing the interface (a la IE 7). Not only this but they add a [...]

Macworld keynote speculations

Obviously there have been many different blog posts and articles on more well known sites speculating about what Steve will unveil on Jan 9th at Macworld. The one I want to talk about really does sound so likely that I had to post it. In fact, it’s got me excited but also speculating myself. It’s [...]

Wii Review

I have recieved my Wii and now have a sore arm from all the baseball and tennis swinging, not to mention all the motions involved in super monkey ball mini games. Anyway, aside from that the console is everything I expected and more. I really like the size of it, the ability to have the [...]

A new design to digg

Digg has undergone some overnight improvements and it’s looking pretty nice. I’m not sure if this is officially digg V4 or not but that’s not that important. They’ve added a whole load of new stuff. Navigation is the real main change as well as the addition of three categories. News and Video are now seperate, [...]

I hope Kevin Rose got the iPhone price right…

Because the latest rumour to hit the digg homepage states a much higher price, up to $599 and $649 for the 4GB and 8GB models respectively. Kevin Rose previously stated that they would be launched for $249 and $449 for the respective versions. Sorry Apple but if it does cost this much which could be [...]

Nintendo gets sued: the mess patents cause

Nintendo have recently been sued for an old patent by Interlink Electronics, a company that seems to specialise among other things in OEM remote controls. I honestly can’t see how the Wii Remote infringes what they do. The Wii Remote is a games controller, regardless of the fact that it has the word remote in [...]

Will people swap cars for Segways?

The answer to this question is almost certainly no in most cases. Often cars are the best option for when you need to carry people and things around. Then there is also the problem for people who live out in rural areas where the battery life of a segway and it’s range on one charge [...]

James Kim

I have to say I didn’t know james Kim before news broke that he and his family had gone missing. However, as soon as the news started to appear on diggnation and on digg.com, I learned he was a close friend of Kevin Rose who used to work alongside him in The Screen Savers of [...]

iPhone patent by Apple?

I know it’s possible someone photoshopped this image based on what Kevin Rose gave away about the phone on the latest episode of diggnation. However, It’s hard to not believe it when you see how cool this product can look. It simply looks like a nano with a slide out keyboard. With the keyboard hidden [...]
