Jul 10th
You may not know what Google Voice is and you may not know what the point of it is or you may use it regularly.

Jul 10th
Which do you use, Facebook or Twitter, or do you use both like I do? Some people love Facebook and some people love twitter.
The difference between Facebook and Twitter is:

Jul 8th
It’s true. After all those days of quietly thinking to yourself, “man the only thing Google hasn’t made is an operating system!”
Google has announced that yes, they are building an operating system that is will be lightweight and open sourced. In a post on the Official Google Blog, Google wrote, “Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS.” Google has announced that the user interface on the Chrome OS will be “minimal” and like the Google Chrome Web Browser and Google Android most of the “user experience takes place on the web.” Google stated that the Chrome More >

Review: Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2 Speakers
Jul 5th
Pros:
- 10 Hour rechargeable battery.
- Quite loud.
- Can charge iPhone/iPod when plugged in.

- Light.
Cons:

The bottom line:
