Google has updated Android Voice Search to work with the language known by fourth-graders the world over: Pig Latin. Sounds like an April Fool’s joke? Guess again buckaroo, the feature is actually in there. Just go to Settings, Voice input and output settings, Voice recognizer settings, Language, and scroll all the way down to the…
Although I can’t consider myself a HUGE fan of The Joy of Tech, every once and awhile one of their comics will catch my eye, and make me laugh. Case in point today comes to us in the form of a new BlackBerry PlayBook comic. Check it out above. If you’re waiting patiently to get…
When video games go big time and become part of pop culture, the result is often a horrible movie or two. Angry Birds is no exception. I haven’t exactly been keeping up-to-date on the latest cinematic hopes and dreams over at Rovio, but I know a movie is definitely something that ‘could’ hit us in…
If you’ve got an extra $499 kicking around for an iPad 2, and $39 for a polyurethane ‘Smart Cover’ (or $69 for a the leather version), not only do you have a brand new ‘magical’ device to play around with… you’ve also bought yourself the world’s most expensive refrigerator magnet! Illustrated in the pictures you…
Mobile retailer The Phone House had an interesting marketing stunt in Amsterdam to mark the launch of an Android special going on this week. There’s probably some reason that this particular Android needed to crush this car, but it’s feeling just a little lost in translation. As a part of the event, The Phone House…
The folks over at Blendtec are up to their old tricks again. This time around, they’ve decided to toss the iPad 2 into one of their uber-powerful blenders to answer to the question: Will it blend? I got an extra-special kick out of this one. Hit up the video above and you’ll see what I…
Remember that mock white iPhone 4 ad awhile back? The same guys did a new spoof for the iPad 2, to similarly hilarious consequences. “The new iPad is like the iPhone 4. Minus the retina display” kind of sets the tone for the whole thing. Darnell Johnson, Apple’s only black employee, returns to make jabs at…
A little something from the folks at the Googleplex this evening (well, not really!). If you’ve got Android on the brain (heck, even if you don’t), chances are you’re going to get a kick out of this one. Slap on the Google helmet and you’ll not only look cool, but you’ll be instantly connected to…
Not so long ago, I made a purchase from the good folks at ThinkGeek. I purchased some very cool and very magnetic ‘Bucky Balls‘. They’re proving to be a great conversation starter and welcomed stress reliever… However, I’m ever mindful to keep them away from my gadgets (I suppose I should explain, Bucky Balls are…
It’s time for carriers all around the world to crank out those Valentine’s day promos. One of the first I’ve seen comes to us from Fido. They’ve stepped up to the plate (or in this case, the heart-shaped bed?) to offer their customers free Canadian long distance calls on February 14th. Not bad. With Valentine’s…
