Gustafsson & Sjogren Lapland Sky Damascus Steel Watch Review

Posted: 14 Mar 2011 05:13 AM PDT

There are few designs less polarizing in the "I would wear this department" than a watch like the Lapland Sky" from Sweden-based Gustaffson & Sjogren (hereinafter known as "GoS"). While many people can appreciate the beauty of their in-house made Damascus folded steel metal, this is a watch to be worn on the right type of wrist only. I feel confident that I have the guts to pull it off, do you?

Testing Backs Up iPad 2′s Purported Graphical Prowess

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 02:26 PM PDT


Anandtech has run a few synthetic benchmarks on the iPad 2, comparing it with the original iPad and the Motorola Xoom. I’m actually pretty shocked by how far ahead it is. I considered Apple’s “9x faster” boasts to be more or less exaggerations of still-significant gains, but this thing is taking the Tegra 2 to school.

Remember, though: the Tegra 2 is pushing ~25% more pixels, and Android 3.0 is still a new OS with much optimization in its future. That said, damn. There are more benchmarks here.

Video: Foursquare’s Naveen Selvadurai Gives “One Year Update” At SXSW 2011

Posted: 13 Mar 2011 08:06 AM PDT

At last year’s SXSW I caught a moment of Foursquare co-founder Naveen Selvadurai’s time to briefly chat about the company and their plans for the upcoming year. We were able to speak again this year and Naveen gave me the update on what has changed for the company since our last conversation.

The short answer is that both the company and user-base have grown significantly. When I last spoke with him there were around 300,000 people using Foursquare to check-in and now there are over 7 million users. That, coupled with their recent loyalty deal with American Express, means we should be on the lookout for expanded services and features in 2011. Check out the video below for the update.

Certina DS Rookie Watch

Posted: 12 Mar 2011 05:41 AM PST

In addition to Tissot, Certina offers nicely designed Swiss watches are affordable prices, and is part of the Swatch Group. While not as common in the US, there are some real nice Certina timepieces that should be considered when looking for a decently priced quartz watch. Though there are mechanical Certina watches available as well. Basically, Certina watches are priced in the 200 - 2,000 euro zone.
