Batman Arkham City
Well October 18 hit and like most people were now playing Batman Arkham city. I can say happily Batman sounds like Batman. Meaning he’s voiced again by Kevin Conroy the same guy who did batmans voice in Batman the animated series. Other than sweet cinematics, and the return of Mark Hamill (Luke skywalker) as the Joker. We get [...]

Evernote Hello remembers faces for you
December 7th, 2011 
Tim Hornyak 
Hey, nice to meetcha! What did you say your name is again? Golly, I'm so bad with names. Actually, can you take a photo of yourself with my phone so I don't have to be bothered to remember you? Thanks!
If that sounds obnoxious or just plain stupid to you, you've been warned. It may become a common greeting if the latest app from Evernote, the company intent on "becoming everyone's second brain," takes off.
If associating names with faces is too taxing for you, Evernote Hello is a free iPhone tool that will relieve your neurons.
When you meet someone, you ask him or her to take a face photo on your phone with the front-facing camera, and enter name and e-mail information in Evernote Hello. Your new contact will receive an e-mail with your info.
The app can track the location of meetings with its Encounter function, and will display a chronological parade of the faces you've seen that you can swipe like a Rolodex version of Facebook.
"Remembering people is hard," Evernote reminds us, and granted, that's true. Unless you're Johnny Mnemonic, you're bound to ... [Read more]

Google’s Schmidt: Android leads the iPhone

(Credit: Stephen Shankland/CNET)PARIS--In the fight between the two smartphone heavyweights, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt was blunt today about who he thinks is winning.
"Android is ahead of the iPhone now," Schmidt declared to an audience of techies and aspiring entrepreneurs at the LeWeb conference here.
He made his statement to a room bursting at the seams with iPhones, iPads, and Macs, and the audience met his words with a moment of silence that implied some skepticism. So Schmidt elaborated on how he was measuring: "unit volume, Ice Cream Sandwich, the price is lower, there are more vendors."
Android is indeed a success in the market. But one big weakness compared with iOS was very visible at the conference: becoming the top priority for programmers. Note-taking specialist Evernote today announced a new app called Hello for keeping track of people--for iPhone only so far. And when news reader Flipboard announced its expansion from the iPad to the iPhone, Chief Executive Mike McCue refused to even say whether the company was working on an Android version.
"We've ... [Read more]

Logitech Revue finally gets Google TV Honeycomb update

(Credit: Matthew Moskovciak/CNET)The Google TV-equipped Logitech Revue is finally getting its Honeycomb update.
Earlier today, both Google and Logitech announced that the set-top box's owners would be able to download an over-the-air update bringing Android 3.1 to the device. Honeycomb delivers a host of improvements, including a redesigned interface, access to Google Music, and support for the Android Market. In addition, the software's Chrome browser supports Adobe Flash Player 10.2.
The update comes over a month after owners of Sony's Google TV-based devices were offered the software. The only issue is, early reviews of Honeycomb for Google TV aren't glowing, which could disappoint Revue users that had been hoping for the software to dramatically improve their entertainment experience in the living room.
