When Nike released its Nike+ products, many complained about the overall cost. To use the $30 Nike+ iPod Sports Kit, you need an iPod nano, a pair of shoes with a pocket for a special sensor, and an armband long enough to fit the Nike+ receiver. I personally spent the money on all these things, […]
For the second month in a row, the PlayStation 3 edged the Xbox 360 in terms of monthly sales. Is the once-struggling PS3 on a roll?
Ars Technica got its hands on the latest sales figures for gaming consoles, and the numbers speak for themselves. The Wii, as usual, trumped its console competition with 432,000 units […]
If you’ve used the G-Archiver program to back up your Gmail (aka Google Mail) email, you’ve got a headache on your hands. The program has been revealed to be a malicious spyware app that emails your Gmail username and password to a secret Gmail account.
This revelation is especially troubling because most Gmail users use a […]
Engadget Mobile got its hands on what appear to be press shots of the LG VX9110—a.k.a. the enV2—complete with prominent Verizon Wireless branding. No confirmation from Verizon if the phone actually exists, of course, but the shots look pretty legit.

Creatures of habit that we are, we sometimes get into a gadget rut, forgetting that our iPods are probably capable of a lot more than what we do with them. So far, I’ve used mine for listening to music and podcasts, watching movies (which isn’t my idea of film appreciation), and receiving RSS feeds. But […]
We all know about those pesky cell-phone laws states are putting out to scare drivers into using hands-free devices while behind the wheel. If you live in New Jersey, you better start taking those laws seriously unless you want to pay a hefty fine.Philly.com is reporting that law enforcement officers in New Jersey will be […]
If you look to the heavens tonight (weather permitting), you’re going to have a chance to feast your eyes on the last lunar eclipse until 2010.

Cnet’s Ina Fried calls the move possibly unprecedented, and I have to agree: I can’t ever recall a time when Microsoft has cut the price of a current operating system. I can’t recall Microsoft cutting the price of any current product at all, for that matter.But here we are: If you buy an upgrade version […]
Hey, I’m no relationship guru (I write about tech, for goodness’ sake). So when my single friends ask me about the best places to meet men in San Francisco, I draw a blank. As much as I’d like to help them meet a Silicon Valley man—which is what they’re really after—I can’t, because I don’t […]
