By now, you’ve probably heard that Apple is apparently planning a media event for later this month in New York, where we will not see the iPad 3 or Apple-branded television sets. Many are expecting some sort of announcement involving Apple SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue, who was on hand for last year’s launch of The Daily…

A few days ago I helped out a family friend with his home network—he had a recently-purchased iPad 2 and the Wi-Fi signal didn’t reach throughout the entire house. His existing router was a recent Linksys model and there were a number of options to extend the signal. We settled on just creating another network on the other end of the house. In about two days, I got to really learn how most consumer-grade routers are in need of a makeover…

I find it a little funny that HP is including a tagline promoting their position as the number one PC manufacturer on their TV ads. I don’t know if that strategy is really going to work for them—the whole buy-an-HP-because-everyone-else-is mentality probably won’t work.

After news that the Mac Pro may be discontinued, I got in an iMessage-fueled conversation with my SchwarzTech Radio co-host, Matt Bloomingdale. Although it makes sense from a business standpoint, there’s a lot to think about in regards to our favorite aluminum-and-plastic boat anchor…

We’ve reviewed a number of interesting iPhone accessories over the past few years, and some of our favorites have been creative and inexpensive ones. Although cases are arguably a necessity, and apps can vary from user to user, we enjoy it when manufacturers try to invent something completely new. Such is the case with the Piolo, a £6 (about $10-$11 US) stand for the iPhone 4 and 4S…

As we knew from last Tuesday, Apple would be releasing iOS 5 and iCloud today. It’s worth noting that there were quite a few updates besides those two, including iWork, iPhoto, Remote, the new Find My Friends, and Mac OS X 10.7.2…
