Apple Iphone 4S All The Specs And Why They Disappoint

Image credit: Anonymous uploader Maybe we were expecting too much from Apple this time around. Maybe we’re just used to big Job-era Apple announcements with whizzy new product and significant upgrades. The iPhone 4S announcement is no iPhone 5. Despite more than a year since the last Apple iPhone iteration, it’s time. Maybe it’s a parts shortage. Maybe Tim Cook is conservatively holding it back for marketing or accounting reasons as yet unclear....

Apple Rated 1 In American Customer Satisfaction Index

Quoting the ACSI Report: It’s clear Apple is growing, and continues to get consumers to buy its latest gadgets. The question is what about Windows-based PC manufacturers? Have any of them stepped up to the plate or made large strides recently in innovation or overall consumer satisfaction? Again ACSI has something to say on this: I’ve been feeling this myself over the past few years. Looking over the last 5 years, I can’t think of ANY innovation coming out of the DELL, HP, Lenovo brands....

Bing Search Results Now Offer A Qwiki

If it’s going to compete against Google, Bing does need something different. Microsoft is trying to do it by integrating machine-generated videos, from Qwiki, a service that generates multimedia presentations for various types of information, as announced officially today. For now, this will only happen where a Wikipedia entry is present (and only for some of them, according to my attempts), but it should be extended in the future. Basically, you’ll get a video presentation summarizing a lot of info about the respective topic, and the videos are well-made....

Buy A Cheap Scanner To Save Big Bucks On Mechanic Fees

Keep in mind this isn’t the end-all-solve-all solution for car problems, but every time the check engine light (CEL) comes on, an OBD reader can tell you why. The cheap one that I tested out only gives you the corresponding CEL code that you have to reference yourself, but that is as easy as typing it into Google. Some of the more expensive scanners offer detailed descriptions of the code, assuming that your car make and model is within its information database....

Cnet Joins The Dark Side Its Download Com Attempts To Fill Your Computer With Crapware

We’ve all seen it before, crapware packed into an installer for an otherwise great app. I think most people understand that sometimes this is a necessary evil to support starving app developers everywhere. But what if ads and junkware were included by the company hosting a download for the software and it was ambiguous if any of the funds even went to the developers at all? This is what I heard about the CNET Installer, an application that I had never tried before since I usually download directly from the developer....
