R.I.P. Google Wave
Anybody remember Google Wave? You don’t? Oh, well then, apparently you aren’t alone. Google announced that they are going to stop development on Wave. They are going to keep the service maintained until the end of the year and eventually release tools to get your content from Wave off the service. Kinda sad that Wave [...]
Android Marketplace Hits 1 Billion Downloads
Congratulations to Google for reaching a huge milestone on the Android Market! The billionth app was downloaded today, a little more than a year and a half after launch. Not bad considering how Droid was slow to start off compared to the iPhone, which took only 9 months to reach a billion app downloads. This [...]
Your TV is about to become your computer
Not exactly. If you still need powerful computers for designing graphics or other coding issues, you’ll still one of those. But if you want to surf the internet, it appears that you will soon be doing that with your TV. Google is offering software to be integrated into certain TVs as well as some satellite [...]
Can’t we all just get along?
Oh, those silly Silicon Valley Boys. I guess Apple and Google are starting to get into the heated argument ring with each other.

Blocking the competitor
I know people who work for T-Mobile and I can tell you with certain that T-Mobile has blocked access to the Droid website to all front line employees. I can also tell you that this is the first time that this has happened in the history of T-Mobile! So what are they worried about? Motorolla’s [...]
Behold II to join Android market!
Wow, it was true. When Google developed Andriod they boldly stated that it would become the only platform that mobile devices use. Well, Motorola jumped onboard with the Moto Clique and now Samsung is adding it to the Behold II.
Android developers?
Is anyone developing Android software to post outside of the Google market place? I’m very leery of anyone doing this? If they can’t get it approved by Google is it safe to be used on your device? I guess I know that good developers might just choose not to submit to Google for personal reasons [...]
too big for thier britches!
Anyone notice how big Google is really getting? First mobile phones, next their own operating system and now they are putting out applications that will put other industries to task. For example, they are releasing an application that will simply take revenue away from mobile carriers. If someone did this to them they would smack [...]
