BlackBerry PlayBook - Possibly an iPad killer!
This device looks pretty slick! Multitasking, dual camera, Full Flash browser, BlackBerry Messanger, the list goes on and on. Could it be a possible iPad killer? I know the fron facing camera is a plus in my book! What do you think?

THE SOCIAL NETWORK (aka The Facebook Movie)
Okay, honestly, this movie looks pretty good. For all you Facebook users and fans I'm positive you'll love to actually see how Facebook started. I'm sure everyone has read the story on wikipedia or somewhere on the internet, but nothing beats seeing a movie.
What are your thoughts about the movie?

[APPLE] Mac mini: Unibody design, HDMI, and more
Today, Apples slyly introduced a new Mac mini. It sports a unibody design, HDMI out, SD card slot, removable bottom, improved graphics card, energy efficient and the power brick is gone. Overall it seems like an awesome upgrade, although the price was bumped an extra $100 (which is actually not that bad).
So now that the Mac mini supports HDMI out, what's the point of Apple TV? I mean, even Apple promotes a picture of the Mac mini connecting to your TV. You can download movies and music from iTunes and play them on FronRow, which is a similar application to AppleTV. Sure, Apple TV is a lot cheaper, but why not throw in the extra money and get a full functioning computer for your HD TV?

[APPLE] iOS: Calculator Icons
So many of you have probably wondered why Apple changes the Calculator icon in every major iPhone OS (iOS) release. Well, only Apple truly knows, but here is a good reason why the iOS 3 Calc icon changed in iOS 4. You know that neat new feature called Folders? Well if you notice the Calculators icon in iOS 3 you see that is closely, if not exactly, resembles a Folder on iOS 4. With the white border and textured background it might be hard for SOME PEOPLE (definitely not everyone) to distinguish. As for the original iOS to iOS 2, you've got me clueless as to why they would change the design of the icon. Maybe it was because they used the calculator icon as a representation of what a Folder icon would look like in the future; and the future is now, with iOS 4 and Folders.

[APPLE] iPad - It's already a revolution and it's only just begun!
Here is the new iPad commercial that aired tonight (May 12, 2010)
This form of commercial from Apple is quite different from the Get a Mac commercials, the iPod commercials, and the iPhone commercials. It's much more personal and colorful.
It's way better than the first iPad commercial that aired during the Oscars. http://techgulp.posterous.com/apple-ipad-commercial-released-during-oscars

[WHS] Windows Home Server + AirVideo = Amazing!
So I recently downloaded AirVideo for the iPad and I was thinking what it would be like if the server software was on my HP Media Smart Server.
Here is a tutorial on how to install it in under 10 steps:
[HP] More information for HP's Slate is unveiled. UPDATE
HP uploaded a video to YouTube detailing more information about the upcoming Slate device. The device seems pretty cool and fast. The release date is still unknown but I'm sure it will have great competition against Apple's iPad.

UPDATE: According to Gizmodo, HP has cancelled Slate.
[APPLE] iPad commercial released during Oscars!
I couldn't watch the Oscars tonight due to the conflict between WABC and Cablevision. But, I did hear about the iPad commercial and I thought I would share it with the world.
Oh, and Steve Jobs was also at the Oscars!
And theirs your gulp,
