Two Computers In One: The Value In Installing Windows On Your Mac
The prevailing wisdom is that Macs cost more than Windows PCs. Looking strictly at costs in the store, you would have to agree with that. However, given that Windows can be run on a Mac quite easily, is it possible that the versatility of the Mac may make it more cost-effective than what a sale tag ...
USB Wipe Card Helps To Recycle & Pass Your Computer Forward
The world is getting ever more polluted. Most of us are trying to help by recycling what we can and sorting our garbage to make it easier for processing plants to recycle what they can.

Facebook Smartphone: This Is What It Will Look Like
As most of you know, Facebook has been rumored to be working on a Facebook smartphone.

The Complete Android History Timeline [Infographic]
I can't say that I am very knowledgeable when it comes to the Android market or the things around it like the operating system and the application development community. I have looked at it and tried the phone out a couple of times, yes, but that's about it. Pretty much all I have learned about the ...
Steampunk Mac Uses A 140 Year Old Typewriter
There is a kind of magic in checking out all the steampunk stuff on the Internet. I don't know what it is about it, but I get this tingling feeling almost like when I was a little kid before Christmas. Maybe it's because I used to play Myst and Riven when they came out. I was obsessed with them, and ...
Nokia Is Alive & Kickin: Achievements In Mobile Technology
When I read last week that Nokia had settled its lawsuit with Apple, I was shocked at the amount of money Nokia would receive. Depending on the source, the amount is somewhere between $600 and $900 million, and that's just in the second quarter. Nokia will also receive future royalties. In my mind, ...
The PC Mod That Is Sexier Than A Mac
We all know that two of Apple's most famous catch phrases are "sexy" and "insanely great," which they pretty much attach to all their products. In some ways those words are true as well, and with all the sales they are raking in, it's hard to say the contrary.
However, there are of course modders ...

Mac People vs. PC People [Infographic]
It's an epic battle really, the competition between Mac and PC owners. It's been going on ever since the two had a clash sometime during the '80s. Well, it wasn't so much of a clash, but more of a competition about what each one is capable of. There has always been an argument going on about which o ...
A Card Deck Made With 52 iPhones
Can you believe it? Somebody created a full deck of cards made from 52 iPhones! Maybe not, but it wouldn't be April Fool's Day if I didn't play a prank on you, so you were expecting that, right?
These pictures are kind of blurry, and I have to believe that is intentional, to add to the effect. It ...
HTC: Are Multiple Smartphone OS’s A Dream Or Could They Be Real?
We have touched the subject before here at Bit Rebels. It's a utopia that I think most people would love to see come true. The question is, of course, if it ever will become a reality. There is far too much money to be made keeping things as they are with only one OS on each cell phone. But ther ...
HTC HDD: First Cell Phone With Multiple OSes!
It's anyone's guess who will take the leading market share when it comes to iPhone, Android or any of the other up and comers in the cell phone industry. When I look at my Twitter stream, I constantly see people tweeting about why they would rather use either the iPhone or Android phone. There are ...
Hackintosh: Creative Mac Pro Build In A Cardboard Box!
So what would you do if you wanted to run a high-end video card that could handle the demands of Adobe After Effects, but you didn't have $2,500 to spend on a Mac Pro?
Well, if you don't mind having the ugliest computer in the office, you could build a Hackintosh in a cardboard box, like these gu ...
Eat This iPhone: Android Can Hold Its Own After All!
I have an Android phone. Sometimes it feels like I'm on an island because everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by iPhone users. I love my Droid X. I think sometimes people don't give Android phones enough credit, I mean, have you actually seen what they can do?
I agree, an Android phone isn't as ...
Is Physics The Next Big Thing For Tablet User Interfaces?
I must say that in the past couple of weeks, I have seen more astonishing things when it comes to mobile devices than the entire beginning of the year. It's fun to know that whatever is around the corner in the future, it is bound to be awesome in every way. We know that Apple has always been a bi ...
Flash On iPhone: Here’s The Proof Steve Jobs Is Wrong
There has been a lot of media coverage about whether or not the iPhone and iPad should ever use Flash. Steve Jobs has publicly announced that the iPhone and the iPad are never going to support it due to it being slow and taking up a lot of memory from the limited resources in these two devices. Th ...
