Now that the geek community has had some time to play around with the new 11-inch MacBook Air, what do they have to say about it? The general consensus seems to be that the new MBA appears to be good, but not great. Fast, but not quite powerful enough. Here are what some of the reviewers had to say after ...

Sure, Apple finally added a “here it is, now please shut up”-version of multitasking to iOS, but what you’re really doing is pausing. You want a true multitasking experience?

Fosfor has put together a great comparison test between the cameras of the iPhone 3G, 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4 with HDR. The results are much what you’d expect, but the degree of differences between the cameras is even more drastic than I thought.
