Broadband speeds in the United States have incrementally increased in the past couple of years and if things don’t improve soon, it’ll take 15 years for speeds here to catch up to where South Korea is today, according to a report released today.The Speed Matters Test was administered by the Communications Workers of America and measured the speed of Internet users’ connections. More than 413,00 folks took the online test between May 2008 and May 2009.The results were sobering: Just 20 percent of those who took

Knowing a massive untapped market when it sees it, Microsoft on Monday launched OneApp, a software application that enables feature phones (think Motorola Razr, for a good example), which are commonly found in emerging markets to have access to mobile apps that people like you and I have on our iPhones, Palm Pres, and BlackBerrys. Think Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live Messenger, and those sorts of things. In order to run these apps on underpowered feature phones, Microsoft is leveraging the cloud to do much

QNAP TS-439 Pro Turbo NAS Review at CCE Reviews and other reviews from around the web can be found by visiting our forums!

The QNAP TS-439 has a lot of great features going for it. For a 4
drive NAS device which really is a computer optimized for storage purposes,
it doesn't have a huge footprint. The black front with gun metal aluminum
chassis gives it a very sleek and professional look, definitely meant for
the office or a network, tucked away in a network cabinet. Unlike the TS-809
Pro that I reviewed earlier, the TS-439 comes complete with eSATA ports to
increase your capacity by an additional 2 drives.

Uh, okay? We have to say, we’re all about taking risks, and we greatly appreciate it when companies deviate from the straight-and-narrow in order to take a chance. But it’ll still take some time for us to get our minds around the latest two laptop speaker docks from Asus. The uBoom Series of compact notebook speakers are large docks that are powered via a USB 2.0 socket, which–if you have a netbook-probably means you’ll be using half of your available USB ports to power these sound cannons. These devices are

Upgrading your notebook’s legacy hard drive to a new, fast SSD is a substantial upgrade that makes good sense for a number of reasons.  First, Solid State Drives offer orders of magnitude higher performance under certain conditions, with blazingly fast random access times.  They also produce much less heat versus a standard 2.5-inch notebook hard drive and are virtually immune to shock and vibration trauma that will send your old spinning hard drive to an early grave. In this HotHardware Video Spotlight,

If there’s ever been an iPhone app that runs a good chance of being blocked at the point of entry, it’s this. Real has just submitted its Rhapsody app to the App Store for approval, and if it passes, it’ll bring an all new source of music to iPhone users everywhere. In fact, it’ll be the “fully on-demand subscription music library app on the iPhone,” but of course, one could easily argue that this functionality is already available through the iTunes app. Particularly if you’re getting your checks from Apple.
