Fiddlesticks

Well, you can cancel any dreams of having a Verizon iPhone anytime soon. It has been verified that the original contract for exclusive rights to the iPhone Apple had with AT&T was until 2012. Which absolutely stinks since AT&T’s has the lowest customer satisfaction rating of all the major carriers. Some are speculating that the [...]

Kindle’s new software

In an apparent effort to compensate for the competition from Apple’s iPad, Amazon released a software update that allows it e-reader to access Facebook and Twitter. So, if you have a book you’re reading and want to share a passage on Twitter or Facebook, you can now do that. I still want to make sure [...]

Hands on with the iPad

My wife and I went to Best Buy for fun this past weekend and I got my first chance to see and try an iPad for myself.  They had a wi-fi connection so I could see how it did with connectivity. My first impressions when I walked up to it was that it look smaller [...]

Virtual keyboards

I see that some of the innovations for laptops are coming out and one of those innovations is the increased use of virtual keyboards.  What I see are holograhipc projectors beaming an image of a full QWERTY keyboard that is supposed to eliminate and reduce the bulk of mobile computers.

Grass on your chair?

There was a new chair design introduced in Milan not too long ago from a Lebanese architect. It’s a regular chair but the seat has a layer of live grass. I remember being a kid and enjoying the feel of fresh green grass between my toes. I can also remember the harsh feeling of dead, [...]

Superpowers anyone?

With the proliferation of superheroes and powers available in the world of comic books, you would think that we as a culture had a fascination with abilities beyond human. Well, scientists and engineers are working on bringing some of our greatest superhero fantasies to life. Scientists have developed a boron-carbide t-shirt which will stop a [...]

Facebook fiasco

I just watched a Today Show clip concerning a father and son who had a bit of trouble with their online relationship via Facebook. Basically, the dad posted some pictures of his son on to his page, and his son didn’t particularly care for it. The pictures included some from when this kid was 6 [...]

Has anyone ever watched ninja warrior?

I’m, at this moment, torn between blogging and watching a fascinating new TV I just discovered by accident, Ninja Warrior. I’ve always been fascinated by the ninja in Japanese culture, so what I’m watching right now is an American Galdiators style competition from Japan.  an extreme obstacle course designed around the famous and infamous abilities [...]
