Microsoft not sure what to do with Zune player or its brand

Since the introduction of the iPod, any device that would dare compete against it was doomed to failure since its release; Microsoft’s Zune player has turned to be no different. Though Microsoft seems to be a little dillusional on the subject, maybe even indecisive. After officially submitting a support page yesterday that clearly stated the Zune player was to be discontinued and the Zune brand to remain for the marketplace with the same name, the company pulled that page and appear to be back-pedaling. — More after the break!

Remembering Steve Jobs - (Video)

The news hit hours ago that Steve Jobs passed away. We had to read it twice, we just couldn’t believe it. We’re throwing all our credibility as a blog into the wind when we say Steve Jobs was one of the most important people to have ever lived, and the man himself is an inspiration for us. We will miss you Mr. Jobs — “Stay hungry, stay foolish…”

Breaking - Apple announces Steve Jobs has passed away

Earlier today news broke throughout the various blogs and social networks that Apple’s long time CEO, Steve Jobs had passed away due to his contuining health problems. Since then, it’s been confirmed by Apple that Jobs did in fact pass this morning surrounded by family and friends. Here at Okay Geek we’ve had a love/hate relationship with the man. His creations were the innovations of genius design and engineering, but his personal life and the way he ran Apple were of considerable question. Rather then summarize his life’s accomplishment and legacy, since his products that we use on a day to day basis are a testament enough to that, we’re going to simply post a number of videos of how he introduced these game-changers to the world, as well as what his colleagues and long time rivals say to the news of Steve Jobs’ death. — More after the break!

Robin Williams and his daughter return for Zelda 4 Swords ad -- (Video)

Thought you saw the last of Robin Williams and his video game-named daughter, Zelda Williams? Well, if you live in the UK you’ve probably seen him and his Jumanji beard in an ad for the latest Zelda offering — the anniversary edition of Zelda: 4 Swords, which is a free downloadable for DSi and 3DS. Oh yeah, say goodbye to that beard.

OCZ Vertex 3 Max Iops 120GB SSD review

If you’re a regular reader of Okay Geek, you’ll remember that we reviewed OCZ’s Agility 3 SATA III 6Gbps SSD a while back. This time, OCZ has sent us the Vertex 3 Max Iops SSD, which is their fastest SATA III drive. That being the case, we’ve provided plenty of benchmarks in our testing. How much faster is it than the Agility 3 and is that boost worth the extra price? — Our full review after the break!

Everything you need to know about the iPhone 4S

Go ahead… say it: Yesterday’s Apple iPhone press event was one of the biggest let down’s in the company’s recent history. We were all expecting a full on upgrade to the iPhone — y’know, something along the lines of the iPhone 5, but that’s not what we got by a long shot. What we did get was an in-between device, much like that of the 3GS. Though you could say the iPhone 4S is a whole new phone besides the outside look, that still doesn’t change the fact that Apple’s stock fell 5% after the announcement. Know why? Cause everyone wanted the iPhone 5.
