• The Verdict Is In: Hulu's Desktop Client is AWESOME!

  A few months back there was a little dust-up between Hulu and the makers of an Internet video desktop client called Boxee. Boxee is a great little application for navigating videos and other media on your computer or on the Internet onto an interface that's designed to be navigable from across the room (kind of like the interface on a cable box.) See, Hulu had a problem with Boxee users accessing their content in this interface, even though Hulu content is freely available on their sit

• June Phone Showdown: Palm Pre vs. Apple iPhone

  June is turning out to be a big month for gadget geeks. Last week Palm finally released its much anticipated new phone, the Pre which looks a lot like an iPhone with a slide out keyboard. It's no surprise, some of the same engineers who designed the first iPhone also worked on the Pre. Right now it's only available on the Sprint network but it's been rumored that Verizon will also carry the handset in six months. Is the Pre an iPhone killer? Time will tell. It will at least be a good contender i

Apple loves to keep their new products a secret until the very last possible moment before release.

Here's the status of the station's evening talk shows per Leone: As speculated, the KDHX's programming committee is considering a plan to end the shows in their current state. Under that plan, the shows would no longer be broadcast over the air on weekday evenings. Instead, KDHX would podcast the shows online and then run

  Every year, the day after the All Star Game in the host city, there takes place an event which is, in my ever so humble opinion, quite a bit more interesting that the game itself. The Annual Symposium on Statistics in Sports is just what it sounds like- a gathering of some of the biggest nerds you've ever seen in your life, all eager to teach the secrets of the universe - or at least why VORP is overrated - to anyone and everyone willing to listen.

• Google Continues its Quest for World Domination with Google Voice

  I finally got my Google Voice invite last week. Voice is Google's move into what has traditionally been the domain of the big telephone companies. The service is still in private beta, which means that you have to get an invite to try it out. It's very likely Google will roll out voice in a similar way they did with Gmail by allowing existing users to send out a few invites to their friends. But for now, the only way to try it is via direct invite from Google, which you can request at the Google

"Kanetown City Rips" b/w "Gilberta" is out September 7 on U.K. label Half Machine Records. Pre-order it here. That label has released music from Pacific!, Psychedelic Horseshit and Stardeath & White Dwarfs. To celebrate the release, JT is planning a show for September 11 at the Firebird. More details

  Most people have heard of virtual reality and probably have at least some vague idea of what that is. But have you heard of augmented reality? Well it's coming to your iPhone 3gs this fall. In case you don't know what augmented reality is (and unless you're a sci-fi geek you probably don't) it's a heads up display for life ... Okay, maybe that's not a good way to explain it either. Perhaps it's best just to show you. Here is a video demo from a developer of one such app that will be available th

  Photo by Marcin Wichary via Flickr​It's August. The economy is bad. Things are slow, but technology marches on. In spite of the global economic slowdown, there will still be plenty of new high-tech products to look forward to this fall. A lot of them will actually be cheaper (even Apple has lowered its prices) and a few things will actually be free, like the some of the new Google products. Here are ten things to look forward over the next few months:Google VoiceDid you get your invite yet? Se

  ​Yesterday Gmail went down for about two-and-a-half hours. The event caused so many people to go to Twitter to kvetch about it, that it nearly took down that site as well. To be accurate, people who use Gmail via an email client like Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook had no problems getting their email. It was the web interface that went down. The Pop and Imap servers didn't seem to skip a beat. Google made the following statement via their Official Gmail Blog explaining the outage and what they

• Show Review Setlist: Sunset Rubdown and Tune-Yards at Off Broadway, Wednesday, October 21

  REVIEW BY MATTHEW JACKSON "I've heard of creatures who eat their babies, I wonder if they stop to think about the taste," Spencer Krug sang on Wednesday night at a semi-crowded Off-Broadway. The song, "Us Ones in Between," was the last in a show that stacked up a series of tangled and tense compositions, each a quicksand of Krug's fevered voice (it's a dealbreaker) and hyperliterate lyrics (also a dealbreaker). If Krug himself was tense and tangled all evening, hunched over his keyboard, it w
