It's been a while since we published a tech roundup. But the Internet turned 15 last Sunday, we got a new laptop from an entrepreneur and friend who'll be enabling this 'Fister's addiction to blogging, and SFist Chuck, whom we dearly miss, was kidnapped by Disney, who force him to Imagineer at gunpoint. All the while, you've been lost in the unmapped multiverse, wondering who Supr.c.ilio.us and TechCrunch are, and which is the hipper one to name drop when asking your IT department for help (Supr.c.ilio.us); anxious about the hygenic example set for the children by superstar CEOs in the valley (they're terrible); and, dude, what's up with MySpace? 'Cuz there's, you know, awesome bands and some serious hotties, which are cool, but there's also, like, ads that install viruses, and that Tom guy, who's totally creepy. more ›

It warms our red hearts to see workers marching here at home and around the world on International Workers' Day, otherwise known as May Day. Protests and demonstrations happened from Berlin to Indonesia, and while most were peaceful, there were scuffles with authorities. Here in the United States, the marches were to protest changes to immigration laws, and coincided with many businesses shuttering their doors as immigrant workers walked off their jobs. Marches were also held in solidarity with immigrants across the border in Mexico, where they celebrated "Un Dia Sin Gringos." more ›

What's that? Did you say something, Apple? Sorry, we weren't paying attention; we were too busy watching full-length movies on our Sony PSP's 4.3-inch widescreen. more ›

When we agreed to open the SFist Tech Labs to the public with this column, we had visions of writing about new cell phones and PDAs and MP3 players, web applications, and all the greatest technology Silicon Valley has to offer. more ›

Apparently the rest of the world wasn't satisfied with our "look at how small it is" defense for the iPod nano, as they've gone and made Apple admit to the screen defect, prompting "What went wrong?" articles from the major news sources and a dip in Apple's stock price. (Apart from the usual fluctuations in Apple's stock price, typically caused by butterflies flapping their wings and the coughing of babies.) more ›

Oakland-based “global web property” Ask.com announced late last week that they’re phasing out the Jeeves persona that was beloved by some. Their reasoning was “user confusion,” in that bewildered users mistook the foppish cartoon for a real live British butler responding to their web queries, and would become flummoxed at having to type out complete questions instead of just keywords like “kittens” and “naughty college girls.” more ›

Big things are happening at SFist Tech, as part of our ongoing bitter rivalry against the cow-molesters at SFist A&M and those stupid frat jocks at University of SFist. This week, your researchers in the labs are in the middle of a zany mix-up involving three Bay Area companies and their wacky misunderstanding of how to market themselves, take advantage of wireless, and handle media rights issues. more ›
