Terrible news for everyone (i.e., almost no one, apparently) that used Buzz, Code Search, Google Labs, Jaiku, iGoogle’s social features, and the University Research Program for Google Search: Google is killing them off, and it’s also merging Boutiques.com and Like.com into Google...

Welp, it's official. Microsoft and Skype are one. Well, Skype isn't alone in this world any longer, anyway. While this deal was announced months back, there has been plenty of work in the time being to ensure all the legalities were ironed out. Now, Microsoft has closed its acquisition of...

Is 3D really the future? The jury's still out, for sure, but there's no question that it's been somewhat of a hit in the mobile realm. While 3DTVs may be moving slowly, the HTC EVO 3D (among other phones) seem to have struck a chord with...

50 million. Regardless of who you are, or what you're selling, that's a lot of product. Nintendo's Game Boy line has sold like hotcakes around the globe, practically cementing it as the most popular and well-known gaming handheld series this world has ever seen. Now, the DS line is on its way...

Boxee has long since been a favorite amongst HTPC owners, and Spotify has been catching more buzz than a next-gen iPhone over the past few months. Put 'em together, and you're bound to get people talking. And turns out, that's exactly what Boxee and Spotify have accomplished. The two have teamed up "at least," with Boxee being the latest place...

Enterprise is important, too, you know? So does Samsung, who took the opportunity this week to unveil a new Enterprise Alliance Program, hailed as a new ecosystem for enterprise mobility partners. Jongshin Kim, Vice President of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics, explained it as...

"Making it rain" has never seemed so appropriate. Rain Computers has just introduced their new multimedia workstation, the Nimbus M2. It's detailed as a "powerhouse" for audio and video production, which -- we guess -- could end up making you enough cash to seriously make it rain. This is the...

It's been a good week for Dan Hesse and the folks at Sprint. While it's still unclear just how much cash the carrier laid down in order to secure their very own iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, the numbers are rolling in, and they're looking great. Sprint even put out an official statement recognizing...

Sad Android, indeed. Box.net, which offers a Dropbox-like cloud storage service for both personal and business users, is offering 50GB of free cloud storage to anyone who downloads (or in the case of existing users, upgrades to) the latest Box.net iOS app (version 2.4.3) and logs in to the...

On many levels, 3D Vision 2 is very similar to 3D Vision. The technology works in exactly the same way. It uses the same software, and the new glasses we’ll be showing you are backwards compatible with the original emitters. Conversely, the original 3D Vision glasses are forward...

According to a report by the New York Times’ Media Decoder blog, Google is planning to launch an online music store within weeks.
