This image showed up earlier today on Digg and we just received word from Nintendo PR about whether or not it’s real. It’s the usual PR answer. Nintendo does not…

Oh, for the love of God. It looks like this alleged shot of the Nikon D700 is as fake as fake can be. It’s actually nothing more than a Photoshopped…

Is this the 3G iPhone?

12:00 pm PDT • May 2, 2008

How is it that the Frenchies get their mitts on a 3G iPhone before anyone else? Does this even look real?

I just got around to watching last Wednesday’s Cranky Geeks video podcast starring John C. Dvorak and Sebastian Rupley (plus a panel of guests that rotate each week) and found…

Tiny, fake iPod Touch for $109

Want an iPod Touch without all that pesky multi-touch? Want what is essentially a low-end PDA stuck in a case that kind of looks cool and has a 1.3-megapixel camera?…
