In general, they’re high quality, and I’m willing to pay a bit more for that. But a lemon is a lemon, regardless of who it’s made by, and must be labeled as such. ]]> http://tech.peekbase.com/introducing%e2%80%a6-the-27-inch-ilemon/feed 0 http://tech.peekbase.com/live-at-5-pm-et-that-is-tuaw-tv-live http://tech.peekbase.com/live-at-5-pm-et-that-is-tuaw-tv-live#comments Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:00:03 +0000 admin http://tech.peekbase.com/live-at-5-pm-et-that-is-tuaw-tv-live December 23rd, 2009 Join TUAW Lead Blogger Steve Sande today at 5 PM ET (2 PM PT) as he hosts the first-ever TUAW TV Live broadcast.

In that spirit, for the next few weeks we’ll be rounding up a dozen daily deals courtesy our friends at DealNews.com. Each afternoon tune in to TUAW for this handy summary.

This is particularly helpful for filetypes that have multiple valid ‘target’ apps ...

That’s the rumor going around (more or less unrelated to the other set of rumors we heard today, though I probably wouldn’t turn down a higher-resolution iPhone with better camera included) according ...

Most of the buzz (along with our buddy Gene Munster) says we will finally see the long-awaited tablet, and that after a January ...

WiFi tethering from Motorola’s hottest is now possible straight from the phone itself, over WiFi even. PDANet already enabled the thing to share its connection, but relies on an external driver installed on a Windows or Mac device. This ...

One particular enthusiast managed to procure one of the twistable rigs, and as a favor to anyone who appreciates freedom, Kris Kringle ...
