After writing my post yesterday about Fire Eagle I recieved an invite from Chad Dickerson (thank you very much) and have spent the past day playing around with some of the applications that use the service.

I’m only going to mention two of the applications that I use because I don’t really have a use for [...]

Many people think that Yahoo isn’t that good at putting new products infront of users and monetizing it, and they’re right. But, what they don’t realize is that Yahoo is way ahead of the curve in location based services and they don’t have to put it infront of users because other developers will.
The product is [...]

Rogers has announced the pricing for the iPhone plans and it is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.
So what they’re saying is that the absolute maximum amount of data you can use without paying horrible overage fees is 2GB!
Come on now Rogers, I don’t even live in Canada and I’m offended by this. There [...]

I may be considered by many to be a bit of an Apple fanboy (I’m sorry about that, I try as hard as I can to find interesting news stories from both sides of the fence, but sometimes it’s a little hard). One of the reasons that I love Apple so much is that they [...]

A reader of Liliputing called the Asus pre-sales department and asked when the Eee PC 901 was going to ship in the US and without hesitation the rep said that it would be shipping on July 8.
After hearing about this Liliputing called Asus themselves and asked the same question and made sure to also ask [...]

Users who have used the latest iPhone 3G firmware say that the device will have support for over the air firmware upgrades and FM radio support of some kind.

A website is now selling what it claims to be region-free Blu-Ray players. The site wants €499 ($785), for the Panasonic DMP-BD30. The price for this player, unmodded, is around $475 so you’re paying quite the premium for the ability to play Blu-Ray discs from other regions.
If you’re good with a soldering iron you could [...]

According to Gizmodo’s “sources inside of Cupertino,” the iPhone software update that was originally supposed to be released in late June and then later was set to release in early July may be going gold on Friday.
Gizmodo says “keep in mind that this date is tentative,” which basically means that if it doesn’t happen Gizmodo [...]

AppleInisder recently posted an article talking about 5 features in Snow Leopard that aren’t getting talked about enough.
There were two of them that I thought should really be talked about, that’s the slimmer applications and ZFS support.
One of the major goals Apple stated when they first announced Snow Leopard was a reduced foot print on [...]

CrunchGear got the HTC Touch Diamond yesterday and will have a review of it in the next few weeks. They were also able to record a poor quality video of it with cheesy music to go with it. But, it’s the first real world video I’ve seen of the device so I figured I would [...]

NBC is partnering with Wavexpress to provide “Olympics On the Go.” Vista Media Center users will be able to subscribe to their favorite events and they will be downloaded automatically to their PCs or laptops through TVTonic.
The clips will be in “up to HD quality” (which most likely means that practically all of them will [...]

Some screenshots of Apple’s Snow Leopard have shown up online. The screenshots show that “Save as Web Application…” has been added to Safari 4 and Address Book now has hooks into Microsoft Exchange.
The “Save as Web Application” isn’t too surprising, with Google Gears and Firefox 3 now having similar functionality that web developers can use [...]
