Apple's 128Gb iPad Shows The World Exactly What...
With Apple’s (AAPL) announcement (and confirmation) that the company will start selling a 128GB iPad with Retina Display, it clearly shows exactly what Apple thinks of the industry — computers are over, even the company’s own computers. At $799 for the Wi-Fi model, the new 128GB iPad is just a stone’s throw away from an entry-level MacBook Air… you know, an actual computer. But if you look at...

Instagram Broke the Ability to Share Photos on... →
Today, Instagram annoyingly decided to turn off its Twitter integration, which means Instagram photos will show up as links instead of photo cards on Twitter.
This solution uses IFTTT, our favorite service for supercharging webapps, and the recipe comes from user djbentley. Basically, whenever you take a photo on Instagram, you can just tag it with #twitter and this recipe will send it to...

DIY Multiple Roll Tape Dispense →
I have five or six different kinds of tape in my shop, and last weekend I got fed up with rooting through a drawer to find the one I wanted. To solve the problem, I built this tape dispenser that holds a variety of tape widths and types.
I made my dispenser from scraps of 3/4-in. birch lumber but plywood will work. Almost all regular-size rolls of tape have a 3-in. center hole, so the same...

The new policy, reported in a tweet by a member of Twitter’s legal team, can be explained with an example. Let’s look at the Twitter account of...

Nexus 4 Battery Shot Reveals Potential Quality...
Several pictures of the LG-built Google Nexus 4 have been showing up across the Internet. The featured image in this article really caught my eye because it shows the internals of the device relatively well. While this device has not yet been released, a lot can be said (and judged) about a device’s hardware, even without full board shots. Overall, it appears to show that LG’s build quality is...
