JNSQ, An Independent Style Mag For iPad, Makes Its Public Debut
JNSQ , the first independent style magazine for the iPad, is making its public debut today. The app, created by former Beauty.com marketing manager Melissa Middleton and angel investor and stealth startup founder Fritz Lanman , features similar content as to what’s found on the online version of the company, at www.jenesequa.com , but is published monthly – like a real magazine. The magazine has actually been live in the app store since October, so you may have stumbled across it on your...
iOS 5 Likely Pushed To The Fall After A Cloud Unveiling At WWDC
Many people (including myself ) were a bit disappointed that Apple didn’t devote any time during the iPad 2 unveiling to talking about iOS 5, the next major revamp of the software.

Craigslist Censored: Adult Section Comes Down
Bad news for Craigslist users who like to peruse the Erotic Services Adult Services section of their site. It’s gone, replaced by a large black and white “censored” logo.

The site has been embattled as old press and state attorneys general use any excuse to blame sex crimes on the site. From South...
Fast Trains to Connect US Cities, Alleviate Highway Congestion
The Obama administration back in January promised $8 billion in funding for cities and states to build high-speed, intercity rail projects . This week, the Department of Transporation issued its specifications for the manufacture of new fast trains, namely double-decker coach, dining, baggage, and business class passenger rail cars that can travel between 79 MPH and up to 220 MPH. Bi-level rail cars not typical in the US today, would accommodate more passengers, and hopefully alleviate congested roads...
Why This New Apple TV Makes Sense — For Now
As a longtime Apple TV owner, I’ll admit a dirty little secret: I really like the device. Sure, it has been one of the rare flops for Apple in recent years. And it could be so much more with say, a Blu-ray player or a web browser. But it is really good at its core functionality: bringing iTunes content into your living room. And that’s why this new version of the Apple TV makes sense — at least for now. When I first bought the Apple TV, there were two varieties: a 40 gigabyte version... Recent Posts

The Windows release of Kinect is coming up in a couple days , but for most people that won’t be a major event: the Kinect they have is sitting on their TV or in a drawer, waiting to be taken out for an impromptu Dance Central 2 party.
