John Paczkowski of AllThingsD has an interesting story this morning, noting that PC shipment data released by NPD DisplaySearch indicates that tablets like the iPad will outship notebooks this year. That statistic once again points out how prescient late Apple CEO Steve Jobs was about the future of tablets as computing devices.

At the D8 conference back in 2010, Steve Jobs compared the transition from desktop and laptop PCs to tablets with the transition from trucks to cars. His comparison noted that trucks were initially more popular than cars since the U.S. was a much …

Apple may not have a presence at CES, but that’s not stopping the company from introducing a new goodie in its online store. 9to5Mac reports that the Apple Thunderbolt Cable, which was previously only available in a length of 2 meters, is now available in a new 0.5-meter variation.

The new cable is priced at $29.99, and on top of that, the familiar 2-meter version of the cable has received a $10 price cut, from $49.99 to $39.99. Both cables are currently in stock in Apple’s online store. More speed for everyone!

When it comes to chemically-hardened glass, we smartphone types are definitely fans. When it comes to making our glass-fronted smartphones more durable, Corning has always been at the forefront, and their latest revelation in the form of Gorilla Glass 3 will prove to be even more of a protective force between our LCDs and the harsh world we live in.

We dropped in on Corning to check out their new Gorilla Glass 3, and in their demonstrations it lived up to the pre-show announcement hype. Gorilla Glass 3 is tougher in all forms when compared to its competition and even its pred…

A Russian university has installed a memorial to Steve Jobs. Standing in the courtyard of the St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, the monument takes the shape of a large-scale iPhone. A large screen in front displays a photo and video presentation of Jobs’ life and career. The back of the monument features a QR code which, when scanned, directs people to a memorial website.

The monument is called “Sunny QR code”, and is the work of St. Petersburg native Gleb Tarasov. A competition was held last year to create the m…

Twitter has released Tweetdeck for Mac 2.3.1 which brings “90+ fixes and updates” to the popular Mac Twitter client. Some of these changes include a performance upgrade for displaying multiple high-velocity columns, the ability to embed a tweet from the tweet itself (great for bloggers), a new search box with Typeahead and People Search, and the ability to reduce the app window to 2 columns.

I’ll admit to never really being a big fan of Tweetdeck, but I’m going to give it another try. It seems like a great, free alternative to Tweetbot for Mac, the Twitter app that I currently…
