Yesterday, at Google I/O, Google announced the latest extension of its empire, Google TV.

This technology could potentially revolutionize television, as it opens the door to many possibilities by  implementing the web into your TV screen with just a simple “Box.”

For a myriad of information on this new technology, make sure to stop by here.

IND, an “auto salon” based in Chicago, is known for highly modifying cars in terms of both appearance and performance.
They have recently hit it out of the park with their project BMW E92 M3.
Over a period of 2 months and a budget of over $100,000.00 dollars, they transformed an already incredible car into something mind blowing.

Check it out, here.

Hey Everyone,

Apple has once again extended the release of a major product to be “fashionably late.” The final release date has been set to April 3rd, with pre-orders starting March 12th.

Although a lot of people are criticizing this device, I think that his a lot of potential and will do very well… I also cannot wait to get my hands on one!

Expect an in depth video review and explanation of how useful the device really is once it is released.

Recently, it seems as if a new “must have” smartphone is leaked or announced nearly every day now.

Today, we are introduced to the latest device from RIM.  This new Blackberry device is a cross between the Storm and the Bold, as it contains all the main characteristics of the Bold while incorporating a touch screen.  In order to keep the device both aesthetically and functionally pleasant, the keyboard is hidden away behind the touch screen using a “slider” form factor.

More info will be posted as soon as it is available.

while Jonathan summed it up pretty well below, I just wanted to add that I’m really excited about what’s coming in the future but in the meantime I wanted to provide some commentary on everything going on in today’s modern world of technology.

so while the site’s not completely back, expect posts every now and then while we wait for the future.

While the blargKABOOM is still on hold, senior editor Daniel Ahdout will be posting from time to time just to keep things fresh and interesting…

Stay tuned.

as the few readers that are still reading this nearly non-existing site have noticed, blargKABOOM is pretty much over.

this site was an experiment for me: is technology writing actually a goal of mine, will people read a site that is small and written by teens, can a name like blargKABOOM actually work, etc. so many questions, blargKABOOM brought answers.

when there was a solid writing standard of a lot of quality posts during a week (maybe 2 a day), bK was doing really well. we had a readership base, we had a writer, and we had technology. which was really nice.

overtime, however,  I noticed the real lack of need for this little site here. we have the Engadget’s and Gizmodo’s… why blargKABOOM. and when there really wasn’t a good enough answer for me, I decided I needed to do something else. to build a site that has a reason.

and so, I announced in January big news for the future of blargKABOOM. major updates for 2009. well, we’re half way through the year: where are the updates?

the updates aren’t coming folks; well, not to blargKABOOM at least. for months now I’ve been working on a new site, a better site, a site with a purpose. now, it’s not launch ready yet, nowhere near launch ready; but my goal is to have it up, at least a beta or alpha version, by the end of this year. more of a universal site, this new “news network” (as i call it) will not have a focus, but will provide coverage of everything, with multiple types of coverage (real-time, media, video, etc) aimed at the teen demographic. for more info on that, check out my site jonathanfriedman.com

i can’t really shut down blargKABOOM as it was incredible at it’s peak, and i have to thank the readers who read this site when it was respectable and my staff (especially Danny Ahdout, who can be credited with finding the first trace of search on the iPhone).

so here’s the deal: blargKABOOM is on hiatus… indefinitely. however my new site will have many similar features, yet, honestly, be 100x better than what we have here with blargKABOOM.

cheers everybody, and thanks for reading.

as many of you have noticed, we’ve been update-less for nearly a month now. a combination of spring break and midterms are partly responsible, but the major reason is work on future updates to this site and a new site in the development stages.

so first off, an apology is necessary to all of you. so we’re sorry for this lack of coverage, and hopefully you’ve been able to get your news fix from other sites (like engadget.com and gizmodo.com).

but really what I want to say is that blargKABOOM has a future, so please stay tuned to this site along with the blargKABOOM twitter account and my site and twitter. we’ve got something really big coming later this year, so prepare for that.

but if blargKABOOM still remains un-updated, don’t fret. we’re just frantically trying to get this new site finished. so thanks for understanding and stay tuned.

Apple sent invites to an iPhone 3.0 press event on March 17 @ 10am to major media outlets this week, with the attached text:

“Join us at an invitation-only event to learn about the new SDK and get a sneak peek at the iPhone OS 3.0 software. The event takes place at Apple, Building 4, Town Hall on March 17 at 10:00 a.m.”

Engadget, Gizmodo, and gdgt will be offering live coverage, so check those sites this Tuesday @ 10 am for the most up-to-date news.

Technology sites over the web have already started making wish lists of features they’d like to have, however certain sites are already hearing rumors of features to be included: MMS (multimedia text messaging) and internet tethering allowing you to share your phone’s network connection with computers are two key rumors, though the ever-awaited copy-and-paste is also on this rumored feature list.Personally, if Apple wants the iPhone to remain on top, its got to pull a rabbit out of its hat (which its done before) and show a completely new UI that allows for easy copy-and-paste, new gestures, better app sorting features, and unobtrusive non-interrupting notifications. Basically, Apple needs to look at the features people want and add them, or they will have a lot of iPhone users switching over to the newly announced Palm Pre which has nearly every feature we iPhone users desire.
