For the past couple of months, I’ve been getting spammed by a German company that shall remain unnamed, since they don’t deserve the extra publicity, bad as it may be. I mentioned them in one of my old posts, or rather I linked to a TechCrunch post that talked about them. I figured I probably [...]

Aaron Johnson, the creator of What the Duck, has apparently seen this post of mine, where I talk about image theft. He’s just sent me an email to let me know of today’s WTD, which handles the issue of watermarks and image theft in that wonderful, funny way that I’ve come to love.

I’ve been playing with my Nabaztag bunny for the last few days, preparing to review it for the I Want That! Tech Toys show on HGTV, which launches this summer. It’s a very cute little bunny with ears that can move. It’s constantly connected to the Internet by WiFi, and you can program it to [...]

GotVoice is a new service that will check your voicemail for you, convert it to MP3 files, and email it to you. This is great, because I’d been looking for a way to archive important phone messages. Say someone calls you up and says they got married. Wouldn’t want to have that archived, to play [...]
