  • As many gamers know, today is the day that Microsoft rolls out the new Dashboard. Well, it’s causing a few problems. I went to sign into Xbox Live pre-update and got “unable to connect”, I went to “Test Connection” and was prompted to download the update. I was able to download and install the update, but am unable to sign in. More and more repports of this problem are coming in (as well as a rumor the the entire network is down, though that is only a rumor). We will keep you up to date with information as we get it.

  • Ladies and gentlemen, Apple would like to “talk iPhone” on October 4th. All we can really say is what they’ve all said “it’s about time.” Apple has been a bit slow with the iPhone 4S/5/What ever, lets hope this is because they are actually going to pac some game changing features into this iteration of phone(s). We of course will see iOS 5, which is certainly going to be a nice feature boost to the slightly stale iOS, but we all now what we want to see, that hardware. We will have our breakdown of all the news as it becomes available. Also if Apple provides a live stream, we...

  • I personally expected OS X Lion to be available at 12:01AM today, but I was wrong. Currently the Apple online store is down, prepping for OS X Lion. But what else could be coming? Rumors have it that Lion will launch with new MacBook Air’s, possible new Mac Mini’s, and possibly a long over due refresh for the classic white MacBook? We will just have to wait and see. So get your credit cards ready Mac fans, $30 and it’s time to roar. Update: New MacBook Air announced, more on that coming soon. Currently the online store is open and I am going to be downloading OS X Lion now....

  • I wanted to share a quick update on the state of the Playstation Network. While I do not own a PS3, I know many people who do and they are not very happy right now. So let’s recap, what the hell happened? Well according to Sony, the first part of the outage was caused by the world wide hacking group Anonymous. Anon has claimed responsibility for the outage, and their is nothing anyone can do to punish them for it. That’s just how the cookie crumbles folks. I’ve reached out to Sony for an official statement and here is the response I received:

    QUICK HIT: Sony PSN Downtime.

  • Good morning iPhone and Android users. As you know Verizon is having a press event today, and to keep things short for the coming live blog. With all the prerequisite, everyone really thinks that this will be an iPhone launch. Though we still have our doubts, we’re here to cover it all live! LIVE EST: 10:53AM: The place is packed with media, videographers, you know “broadcast people”/ 10:54AM: Engadget is saying that the “screen (projector) is white”, not sure if that is saying anything or not. 10:56AM Whoa. John Oliver just screamed “F*ck yeah! Thank you!” — Apparently he’s doing a bit. Wait, he’s doing it again. “Oh thank god!...

  • The title pretty much says it all. Apple should be launching their Mac App Store today, though as of out last check its not up. We still just get the “Coming Soon” notice when we go to the Mac App Store (aka MAS) site. We can’t say we are “in love” with the idea of an app store on a full computer, but it is not a bad idea. As long as we don’t see any fart apps and the prices are good, this might have a chance (not like Ping). We will update this when MAS go’s live. What is the first app you will purchase? Update: Its about...

  • Its January 5th 2011 @ 4:08PM PST and it is Moto Press time. LIVE! 4:00PM PST Moto is pulling an Apple, and not letting anyone in yet. The event should have started a few moments ago. Our live streams are showing nothing but the moto logo. We know for sure that the Motorola XOOM Android 3.0 (honycolmb) tablet will be shown off here. This may be 2nd most anticipated event, following only by Verizon tomorrow. 4:12PM PST Looks like we just got a message, “Event delayed. Please Stand-by”. I should take this time to remind you, we’re live blogging this with information only from live streams. We are not at...
