Google announced the availability of Google Maps Navigation for phones running Android 1.6. Version 3.2.1 of Google Maps is freely available for do...     04:55

Does Firefox Cause Netbook Meltdowns?

jkOnTheRun -- I had not heard of this phenomenon before, but it is being reported that Firefox is causing systems to run harder than other web browsers. This is allegedly due to web pages that have a lot of Flash-based content which makes the CPU run harder and longer. It seems the system heat goes up and causes the fans to go into overdrive to keep things cool. This is not causing netbooks to melt, but it woul...     04:55

Windows Mobile vs. Android: WinMo Is Better Than You Think

jkOnTheRun -- Android is the hot phone platform, with market share growing at a rapid pace, and handsets with the OS being touted across the web. I have been impressed with how far Android has come in a relatively short time, and how well it has penetrated the market. Windows Mobile has seen recent updates, an all-too-infrequent occurrence, and is often getting bashed for being a dated smartphone platform. I ha...     04:55

MediaMonkey Syncs Music to Palm Pre for Free

jkOnTheRun -- With Apple once again blocking the ability to synchronize iTunes music with Palms Pre and Pixi, its time for some of you to consider other options.

Version 3.2 of this Windows-only software hit last week and like DoubleTwist, it boasts a fa...     04:55

Macs Reduced by $100 to $200 at Best Buy

But last year, I took advantage of a preemptive Black Friday sale at Best Buythats when I picked up my unibody 13 MacBook with a $150 discount over Apples pricing. There was no rebate and I walked...     11-23

Japan Gets MiFi Equivalent — Huawei Pocket WiFi

jkOnTheRun -- I have stated on more than one occasion that the Novatel MiFi is a candidate for gadget of the year. A pocket Wi-Fi router that uses a 3G connection to get up to 5 devices online no matter the location (given 3G coverage) is incredibly useful. A similar device by Huawei is now available in Japan, and it offers the same benefits as the Novatel product. The Pocket WiFi (D25HW) by Huawei taps into th...     11-23

First Look at Google Chrome OS — Extensions, Options and More

jkOnTheRun -- Although I promised myself I wasnt going to spend time running Googles Chrome OS right now, I got the bug. Thanks to gdgt who put an image together, Ive spent about 15 minutes tinkering with it in VirtualBox. Chrome OS is definitely bare-bones right now and slow in a VM, but any performance judgements should be considered irrelevant right now. Two thoughts came to mind as I got my hands dirty: who...     11-21

Lost Intel Atom Hackintosh Support Hacked Back In

jkOnTheRun -- What the hackintosh community brings, Apple taketh away. And the hackintoshers then put it back. With the 10.6.2 Mac OS X update, Apple removed support for Intel Atom CPUs, so all of those netbooks running Snow Leopard lost their spots. A modified kernel brings back support, says MacWorld, although Id be pretty leery of said kernel. Put another way: Id live with OS X 10.6.1 on my netbookbut thats ...     11-21
