Mobile Sports Report TechWatch: Amazon Kindle Sales Soar after iPad Mini Launch

In addition Amazon has announced that sales of the Kindle have spiked upward after Apple introduced the iPad Mini. Is Read More>>
Giants Win, Twitter Explodes
It's become pretty normal for Twitter to blow up after any big event now (just wait until the U.S. Presidential elections) but when the company's hometown baseball team wins the World Series, the explosion of tweets is the Internet equivalent of the fireworks going off around us here in the Bay Area tonight. According to Topsy, the tweets hit 38,000 per minute right after Sergio Romo got Miguel Read More>>
Guest Blog: ESPN Experts Have a Good Week, says Pickmoto
(Editor’s note: This is a guest blog from the folks at Pickmoto, a fantasy sports mobile app.) We were sorta mean to the ESPNers last week. We ridiculed their lack of insight and mocked their label “Experts”. One week later, we have to give credit where credit’s due. The Experts (no quotation marks) killed it in Week 7. On average, they went 11-2 and gained 29 points in Pickmoto. Among Read More>>
Webscorer Has Timing Down Pat for Longboard Event
I always enjoy a good race, be it two sailboats, track and field, auto or human, whatever the race I just like competition and I like to have a clear idea of who wins -- and that is where it seems that an app called Webscorer comes in.

Watching NASCAR: Off to Martinsville
The flags were flying at Kansas Speedway, but not the ones that drivers want to see. Cautions abounded at the race as it was slowed by multiple accidents, the second time this season that a new track surface has been a major factor in a race’s results. The new fast surface was a problem for eventual winner Matt Kenseth, who smashed into a wall early in the race and then managed to avoid hitting Read More>>
Mobile Sports Report Grab Bag: MLB Man Cave, Red Bull Crash
Last fall ESPN rolled out a new stat that it claimed would be the be-all and end-all in quarterback ratings called the Total Quarterback Ratings or (QBR). The company said that it went much further than other rating systems by adding in such important features as how clutch the performance was. Now fast forward a year and use of the number has fallen off a cliff at ESPN. A good look at this is Read More>>
Microsoft Launches Windows 8- Surface Tablet
In dueling releases a few hours apart Microsoft first took the wraps off of its latest operating system, Windows 8, and then off of its Surface tablet family that will be some of the first hardware that will run the OS. The operating system rollout is one of the biggest from Microsoft in a while as it is aimed at moving the company in a new direction, away from being viewed as primarily one Read More>>
Watching Golf this Week: Get up Early for the CIMB Classic in Malaysia
Quick, turn the channel on now! If you are up way late or up really early there is a chance you may catch live golf this week -- including Tiger Woods and Jason Dufner -- at the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. (I was wondering why big media hitters like Alan Shipnuck were in China this week.) It might not be an official season event (it is sanctioned) but with a $6.1 million purse and $1.3 Read More>>
