There's no QNX (or BBX, we should say) here, but the Bold 9930 is still taking baby steps towards the future with BlackBerry OS 7. Now that you've had a few months to tinker with your latest and greatest, we're interested to hear how you'd tweak things if given the keys to Waterloo. Would you make it look a bit more like this? Change up the screen? … [Read more...]
How would you change Apple’s OS X 10.7 (Lion)?
October 24, 2011 by
Apple's most highly sophisticated OS yet? Cupertino would have you think so, but as with any major update, there have been plenty of quirks to work through in the months following the introduction of Lion. For those of you who've made the 0.2 leap from 10.6.8 (or from further back, actually), we're interested in learning how your overall experience … [Read more...]
NVIDIA’s Jen-Hsun Huang: Windows on ARM should hit tablets first, battling Intel is a bad idea, would love his chips in iPad
October 20, 2011 by
NVIDIA's founder and president Jen-Hsun Huang has never been one to dodge a question, and that made for an excellent closing interview here at AsiaD. Outside of (re)confirming what lies ahead for Tegra, he also spoke quite openly about his feeling towards Windows on ARM in response to a question from Joanna Stern. Here's the bulk of his … [Read more...]
Taseko says New Prosperity would boost economy
October 18, 2011 by
VANCOUVER - Taseko Mines Ltd. (TSX:TKO) estimates its proposed New Prosperity gold and copper mine in British Columbia would generate $ 9.8 billion in revenue for the federal and B.C. governments over 20 years. … [Read more...]
How would you change HP’s TouchPad?
October 17, 2011 by
Not like it matters much now, but hey -- why not, right? HP's TouchPad was tossed into the closeout bin just over 40 days after it initially went on sale, and it actually served to be a spark for the eventual webOS fire that still seems to be smoldering. When we tested it -- and before we knew HP was about to demolish its operating system in the … [Read more...]
How would you change Dell’s XPS 15z?
October 14, 2011 by
It's the slickest mainstream machine to emerge from Round Rock in years, and outside of the short-lived Adamo XPS, it might just be the most beautiful Dell laptop from the past decade. It's the XPS 15z, and it's winning the hearts of folks who were previously dead-set on HP's Envy line. We obviously found favor with our review unit, and we're … [Read more...]
How would you change HTC’s EVO 3D?
October 10, 2011 by
A 3D phone? Who woulda thunk it? HTC would have, and the EVO 3D is the product of its labor. The jury's still out on whether 3D will end up being more than just some over-marketed, over-sensationalized fad, but judging by the sales of this thing on Sprint's network, someone is into the concept. We saw it as one of Sprint's stronger Android … [Read more...]
How would you change Samsung’s Chromebook Series 5?
October 6, 2011 by
It's compact, it's cute and it's weird. But it might be your perfect netbook. Google's Chromebook family isn't apt to ever be an end-all solution -- particularly for those that aren't married to the company's suite of web-based products -- and we're pretty sure Samsung's taking notes on how to make the eventual followup to the Series 5 even better. … [Read more...]
NDP says they would work with Liberals on RCMP contract issue
September 29, 2011 by
He doesn't think the premier will go for it, but opposition leader Adrian Dix says he's willing to sign a joint statement with Christy Clark about the RCMP contract. Dix says when it comes to the RCMP contract, what he wants is to get a better deal for British Columbians. He says, "if the Liberal government is asking in BC's … [Read more...]
How would you change HTC’s Droid Incredible 2?
September 25, 2011 by
It's borderline crazy to think that we posed this very question about the original Droid Incredible in June of 2010, yet here we are again. Same question, different day, and (mostly) different phone. Verizon Wireless has been pumping out Android devices like it's its job -- and really, it sort of is -- and HTC's DI2 is certainly one of the more … [Read more...]
