As we have reported, the switch to digital television has not been smooth for everybody. We're fairly sure we heard a collective sob on June 12th when many boxes went black around the country. In Memphis, Tennessee, Robert Monsarrat didn't lose the ability to watch television; he just had to change his routine a little bit. And it may have saved his life. A storm rolled through Memphis last ...

The Silicon Alley Insider is doling out a bit of advice that we heartily endorse: "Don't buy a smartphone until June." It's not like there aren't any quality offerings on the market right now. In fact, if you really want a Windows Mobile phone (though we're not sure why you would), there's no need to wait. Go get one now. But be warned that, come June, there will be a whole host of new handsets ...

As if the threat of the Conficker hanging over our heads weren't enough, now we've got the second coming of the Storm Worm, called Waledec, to watch out for. Waldec spreads via e-mails claiming to have a Valentine's Day greeting for you. Clicking on the link contained in the message takes you to a page containing dozens of hearts with the message "guess which one is for you? Clicking on any of ...

Lo and behold, Verizon's taken a break from releasing low-end Nokias for just long enough to officially release its first Storm update -- which just happens to be the same one that's been floating around on the interwebs for a few days now, 4.7.0.75.

It's an exciting time for BlackBerry aficionados, thanks to the recent release of two new models that are radical departures from anything manufacturer RIM has ever offered before. The BlackBerry Storm, which incorporates the first BlackBerry touchscreen (heresy according to some fans who feel that a real QWERTY keyboard is the essence of BlackBerrys); and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, ...

Some things are best tested by others. Say, for example, the guy who first drank from a cow's mammary organ or the equally daring person who took the point from the knife above to the display of his new BlackBerry Storm. In either case, the results are tasty. See for yourself in the video after the break. [Thanks, Mike] ...

There are three primary rules to tattoos that we're aware of: 1. "I love my mom" tattoos are really cool. 2. "I love my short-term-girlfriend" tattoos are questionable at best. 3. "I love this gadget" tattoos have greater built-in obsolescence than sliced apples and pretty much clench the fact that nobody will ever go out with you. Also, they're really awesome.

If you're anything like us, you get dozens and dozens of spams per day. If you have multiple e-mail accounts, that's a lot of spam and, when you think of everyone else you know, that's an awful lot of unwanted messages. It certainly seems like spamming can't be worth all the effort and that spammers couldn't possibly make any money from it, right? Well, they certainly do, and a group of ...
