Intuit, we’re sure, loves free advertising, but not of this type. Tim Geithner has been roasted over the fact that while working for the International Monetary Fund, he failed to pay his Social Security and Medicare taxes as required. When asked about how he had his taxes prepared during that time, Geithner answered “I used TurboTax.” Senator Charles Grassley replied: “The tax code is complex and tax preparers get it wrong; I appreciate you prepared your own returns.” Geithner added that, to his recollection,

While Palm wasn’t afraid to add multi-touch support to the Palm Pre, some have theorized the reason we haven’t seen that feature added to Windows Mobile or Android is caution over possible litigation. But the openness of Android gives developers an edge over more closed platforms, and one enterprising developer has added multi-touch to the T-Mobile G1.In fact, people have been saying for months that both Android and the T-Mobile G1 hardware have low-level support for multi-touch.

Just before QNAP temporarily shut its doors to celebrate the Chinese New Year, it delivered news that the XDove all-in-one mail server was freely available for its growing line of Turbo NAS devices.

If you’ll recall, the startup last landed a rather massive check in April of 2008, but if you thought that was impressive, get a load of these numbers.MediaMemo is confirming an earlier

Not content with just creating yet another NAS in a slightly tweaked enclosure, Datto is attempting to put a new twist on the tried and true network-attach storage device. The Box 2 Box does a fair job of explaining its own purpose, as it contains hardware and software that enables it to synchronize data between multiple locations (or multiple “boxes,” if you will).The peer-to-peer NAS not only allows for easy sharing of information with friends and relatives, but it also allows owners to copy their data to

The HTC-built G1 has been a huge hit for T-Mobile here in America, but up until now, it hasn’t been sold in retail locations that weren’t situated in areas blanketed with 3G coverage. Starting this weekend, anyone within range of a T-Mobile USA store or partner location can find the Android-powered cellphone. It has been possible for those in EDGE (2G) areas to order the mobile phone through the carrier’s website for months, but unless you traveled any great distance to see one in person, you were taking a substantial

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has started a new campaign which, if things were to work out the way EFF and consumers would like, could result in an exemption to the DMCA so users could legally unlock their cell phones. The campaign, called “Free Your Phone,” asks consumers to sign the EFF’s petition to the U.S. Copyright Office for an exemption, as well as asking consumers to share their stories about locked cell phone frustrations.
