So here’s what happened; Someone found a couple lines of coding within OS X Lion’s iChat that point to some interesting developments that might integrate the desktop IM service with the upcoming iOS iMessage (SMS replacement) app. The idea isn’t as farfetched as it seems, since Apple is trying its best, and not always successfully, into simplifying and unifying its services. — More after the break!
How does Microsoft attept to streamline the Windows brand and try to catch up to Apple? By stepping in the wrong direction and giving people what they DON’T want! For those who have Microsoft Office 2010, do you use that “ribbon” where those huge icons appear as options above the main work area?

I usually don’t see a whole lot of NSFW images on Twitter, but then again I may be using it wrong. — Details after the break!
Earlier today Mozilla, the company known for such applications as Firefox and Thunderbird, announced its plans to build a ChromeOS-inspired operating system for mobile devices.

Road trips over long distances for family visits or vacation spots can be absolutely murder when you’re a kid. Back in the day we didn’t have DVD players, just cassete players repeatedly playing the Power Rangers movie soundtrack.
