iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED Review and Gallery

Yesterday I picked the new iPod nano (PRODUCT) RED and thought I’d drop some photo’s of it here. Note that I think the actual full name of this iPod is absurd and in my mind doesn’t follow Apple’s standards for simplicity. It’s the most confusing product… Read More »

Apple and Microsoft have always had quite a rivalry. And up until now it seemed to be in good taste. Steve would make small comments here and there during various keynotes poking fun at Microsoft and Bill…well Bill never really had anything to poke fun at. But… Read More »

We’ll we’ve made quite a few posts about our live chat area and as most of you probably know, it just plain died about 20 minutes before the keynote. We really really hate that happened, but I guess that’s technology for you, huh? At any rate, we… Read More »

OpenSoft Development has created a fun little app, called Todos, that displays every icon for every application on your mac. I’ll be honest, I didn’t even realize I had half of the applications that showed up when I ran Todos…much less even know what some… Read More »

It’s very rare that I make posts here that pertain the inner-workings of TAB, but I feel I should right now. Running a website can be a complicated beast with the mixture having quality content and actually trying to get people to the site to read that… Read More »
