I’m pretty psyched about what iPhone OS 4.0 might bring. Multitasking? A new UI with better notifications? All of the goodies that Apple might have planned have been pretty much kept under wraps in classic Apple style. For all of us who have been waiting with anticipation will be happy to know that Apple is hosting a special sneak peek ...

It’s funny cuz it’s true. I’m a Chrome user myself. Pretty much exclusively for the past six months or so. And while it’s very speedy, it does have some buggy issues. Particularly the Mac beta. But I’ll throw them a bone here and give ’em the old Gearfuse stamp of approval. Link

With the ever-expanding usage of Google Chrome and with Firefox still chugging along, voodoo was probably the last thing that Internet Explorer needed. IE needs all the help it can get, but it certainly isn’t getting it from this follower of voodoo, who apparently is not a happy camper. This is what happens when you make a browser that has ...

While Apple hasn’t yet patented the sun (yet), they are interested in what the sun can do for them and their hardware. A newly revealed patent suggests that Apple might be gearing up for a more eco-friendly line of laptops, but not through traditional solar power. Picture this: a mirror attached to the lid of your laptop folds out to ...

If tubes, wires and air data isn’t enough to wrap your fleshy human mass around, Researchers at Korea University in Seoul have�successfully�accomplished something that might change the world, but probably won’t. They’ve successfully transmitted broadband data through a human arm at speeds up to 10 mb/s. The data is transferred using two electrodes placed on their skin 30 centimetres apart, ...

Multiple sources are reporting that Apple has sold an overwhelming number of iPads in the first few hours of their pre-order availability. As many as 50,000 pre-orders have been submitted to Apple for the upcoming tablet device. In fact, the orders are so overwhelming that Apple warns that supplies might come up a bit short come April 3. Apparently buyers ...

Somebody’s finally up and done it. The YaHookah is a computer (or at least what used to be described as a computer) you can literally smoke, smoke until you’re damn near dead. And the creator didn’t stop there. He was generous enough to write up a step-by-step DIY project over at Instructables, so you can be smoking from the comfort ...

Starring John Cusack as John Cusack in Say Anything… Again! But this time around, he’s got some new tools in his shed. For one thing, record stores are all obsolete. Wait, I think I’m confusing Say Anything with High Fidelity. Dammit, I hate when John Cusack movies start bleeding together. This trick isn’t for everybody, as you’ll have to figure ...

First you get the money. Then you get the power. THEN you get the Apple products. Al Pacino might or might not have said those exact lines in the film Scarface. Maybe I used an oh-so slight piece of creative�license. This Scarface Macbook decal turns your laptop into an even cooler, but slightly more suspicious, piece of hardware. No scales ...

There’s nothing quite like the�embarrassment�of being on stage, in front of tens of people, and just going blank. Oh crap, what chord do I play next? Do I stop playing or just improvise? i-Tab seeks to stop the forgetful guitarist in his or her absentminded tracks, displaying a constant stream of lyrics, chords and tabs as you play along with ...
