The title says it all, really. The new Google Latitude app for iDevices shows your friends and family on a map (if they have the app too) so you can see who’s nearby for a meet up. You’d also show up on their maps, unless you choose to hide your location or show only which city you’re in. Think of it as a modern Marauder’s Map, except anyone can disappear off the map whenever he/she wants to. You can check out Google Latitude in action below! More »

Last quarter Apple ended with its biggest earning in its history. If December keeps the trend going, Apple will sell a recording breaking 4.3 million Macs this season. Sales are up over 20% for this quarter in the US and somewhere around 28% internationally. I think Steve Jobs is going to have a very nice holiday season, what do you think? More »

This may look like a funky bracelet, but looks can be deceiving! Created by German designer Yiran Qian, this thing (named Eye of the Storm) is actually a watch! People might think, “But there aren’t any screens!” If you press a button, lo and behold, two transparent-looking lights pop out and show what time it is in analog style. More »


If you have always wanted to skydive but are too scared, try using Google Earth, like these crazy Japanese guys. It doesn’t require you to jump out of a plane and there’s no death risk.
