Surfing the Wave! Whoo-hoo!
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last few weeks, you might have noticed a minor uproar on the internet being made over something called Google Wave. (And NO, I don’t have any invites). But seriously – the web has exploded with people talking about, hyping up, and begging for the oh-so-exclusive invites to get in and try it out. So this post is going to serve two purposes: explain, best as I can, what exactly Google Wave is, as well as share my initial impressions of it.

Uncharted 2 – Experimental Weekend December 6, 2009
Posted by Zev Rosenbaum in : Video Games , 1 comment so far
Its Experimental Weekend for Uncharted 2 Multiplayer this week. To battle the releases of impressive rival video games like Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin’s Creed II, Naughty Dog is trying to keep things fresh and interesting by shaking up multiplayer. They added Plunder to the playlist (one of my favorite modes) and, if you have been dying really easily this weekend,(don’t worry you’re not the only one ; ) ) it’s because Naughty Dog reduced player’s health to 65%.
Like the changes or no? Let Naughty Dog know so whether to institute them permanently or keep the status quo. See you in deathmatch!
Is the Apple Tablet Coming Next Year? Why I Think (and Hope) So December 4, 2009
Posted by Eli Blumenthal in : Apple, Rumors , add a comment
One of the many rumored renderings of what the Apple Tablet will look like (From Huffington Post)
For the better part of this year (particularly the later half), a lot of talk has been going around EVERYWHERE– be it on blogs, news outlets, TV– about a new Apple Tablet device. Rumors depict a 9 to 10 inch iPod touch (including multi-touch, something no Mac has done before) powered by Mac OS X Snow Leopard, accompanied by an iTunes-like store for books, magazines and newspapers (to fight the Nook, Kindle and all other e-readers as well as “help save” print media).
We have never mentioned anything in previous posts about the Tablet, though the rumors have circulated for years now, primarily because the disussion appeared to to be grounded more in hope than in fact. But with recent increase and detail emerging about the theoretical device, I have joined the ranks of believers and am convinced that it is finally coming…. very soon.
Ask TeenTechBlog: What Does “Unlocked” and “Jailbroken” Mean? December 2, 2009
Posted by Eli Blumenthal in : Apple, Ask TeenTechBlog, Cell Phones , add a commentAsk TeenTechBlog is where we try to answer your questions on technology– from computer problems, to cell phone questions and everything in between.
What does it mean to “unlock” your iPhone?
Here’s a question we’ve been getting a lot lately: “if I unlock my iPhone will it work for Verizon/Sprint? It should, right, because it’s unlocked?” Sorry anxious reader, just because your iPhone is unlocked doesn’t mean it will work for you on Verizon and Sprint.
Let me explain.

The Motorola Debut i856
Looking for a solid phone with a great plan that doesn’t make you sign your wireless soul away for 2 years? If so, then listen up as we got something you’ll definitely want to check out (trust me, you do). It’s called the Motorola Debut i856 for Boost Mobile (the carrier with the TV ads going “where you at?”), and for the past few weeks we have been putting it through its paces, and we came away pretty impressed with both the phone and Boost Mobile as a carrier.
