In fact, according to a new report from network management firm Arieso, iPhone 4S owners use twice as much data as their iPhone 4-using brethren, and nearly three times as much as iPhone 3G users.

Building a Better Tablet
“In 2012, XYZ Co have to build a better tablet [..] A REAL iPad competitor” I hear this far too often, and for all the wrong reasons. Whether it’s from die hard Google-Lovers like Gina Tripani, BlackBerry-centric tech-blogs or Apple haters, the top item on everyone’s agenda is to release an iPad level tablet at…

Dungeon Hunter ]|[: The End of a Franchise
I’m not a big gamer, I am much more of a gambler with fi.slotzo.com, but just like the rest of the Dads, I’ve been waiting a long time for the release of Dungeon Hack and Slashers: Diablo III and Torchlight II (not into Skyrim yet). Up to now, I’ve been biding my time with iPad…

Neven Mrgan on Apple TV with Siri
But the idea that Siri would be the main interface of Apple TV is as silly as making Siri the main UI for the iPad. Siri is good at letting the user submit hard-to-categorize, multi-part, uncertain inputs in the most expressive and effortless way we humans have: spoken language. I think TV mainly revolves around a…
