Take a look at the bottom two screen captures, taken off of the Palm Treo Pro that we just reviewed. See the difference? The one on the top is default, and the one on the bottom is set to 96dpi, which shrinks the top and bottom bars, plus makes the icons smaller (more like a VGA screen), allowing you to really maximize screen real estate. After doing this modification, I'm able to see more on ...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—68 different beholders in the case of Tommer Leyvand's new "beautification engine." The software, featured in a story in the New York Times, takes preferences from a poll of 68 men and women from Israel and Germany who looked at pictures and chose the most beautiful subjects. Measuring common traits like smaller eyes, rounder chins and higher foreheads, it applies those rules of attractiveness, Photoshop-style, to images of ...

As we near the rumored release date for Apple’s laptop line refresh, a new set of spy shots has emerged. Presumably one of the products of Apple’s new “Brick” manufacturing process, the image above shows an aluminum keyboard panel reportedly belonging to Apple’s upcoming new line of MacBooks. Sure it could be a Photoshop job but if it does in fact end up being the real deal, it looks like we’re all in for some ...

Let's say, for example, your roommate is prone to shutting down your BitTorrent client when you're away from your computer. You return home expecting the movie you'd been downloading to be ready for your viewing pleasure, then discover the download hasn't even been running. If you had set Application ...

"These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and don't care who's in the building," the sheriff said. "They simply want their money and don't care who gets hurt along the way ... On top of it all, they want taxpayers to fund their investigative work for them. We're not going to do their jobs for them anymore... It stops today."

In line with its new full-screen button-minimalist design, the HTC Touch HD eschews the usual phone answer and end call buttons (though vestigial versions still exist on the device) for a new on screen phone call answering system using two adjacent sliders. The system is similar to the iPhone, but goes one further. To answer a ...
