I was out shopping over this past weekend and while out and about I stopped into a Verizon Wireless store and thought to check on their inventory, or potential inventory, of iPads.  I've been considering and somewhat planning to buy a Verizon Wireless iPad 2 64GB 3G unit (either Black or White, didn't really care which one) but was also well informed enough to know that the chances of units being in stock and available for immediate purchase were likely pretty low.  Sure enough the sto...

So we’re in the process of setting things up so that a series of computers runs the lights, audio, televisions, heat, etc. We’re using Control4 and so far, I’m mixed on whether I like it or not.  It has both an iPhone and iPad app which is a major plus.  But its user interface (in those apps) is terrible and ugly (ugly to the point of being distracting). Given the popularity of Control4, I wonder if I’m missing something given how awful and primitive it seems to be so far.

Google OS is going to be built upon google chrome... and it is going to be a failure! Google chrome is the fastest browser on the market, it makes an excellent secondary browser to use alongside a REAL browser. But it will never work by itself. Why? Again and again I see often requested features for chrome rejected by google staff with the following: " we have a strong design philosophy against options (even "hidden" options like about:config) It took 5 versions before google FINA...

I got my wife a Droid 2 to replace her aging enV phone from years ago.  We generally prefer Verizon because their network, frankly, is much much better than AT&T.  Nevertheless, I have an iPhone 4 on AT&T since keeping up on tech is pretty central to my job. There’s a lot of passion involved in Android vs. iOS.  I’ll stick with just my personal opinion on the matter.  Having spent considerable time now with both, I far prefer the iPhone to the Droid 2. The a...

CNET has an article up today that notes: Data caps forcing efficiency on developers and the thought of the point of that article actually brings a little smile to my face, despite my own reservations and complaints about how broadband and wireless providers are trying to put the genie back in the bottle when it comes to "unlimited" internet access. Realistically, as a user of these services (on my iPhone, and potentially on an iPad if the announcement that shot down unlimited network acce...

I was once fortunate enough to own a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod Touch (can't remember which one) but lost it due to financial issues a while back. A few months ago I was able to acquire a 1st generation iPod and so far, apart from some missing features that I wish I had, this iPod has served it's purpose very well. Still, I can't help but wonder how, for as long as the iPod has been around and the number of updates done to it, does the iPod interface when playing music suck? My complaint is s...

As far as I'm concerned Western Digital will be known to me as Southern Digital as my like for their products has gone down every time I come across one of their new products. First it was their drives. While I commend them for going Green, I want my normal 72000 RPM drives. I have a hard time finding these drives in stores and those that i do find are expensive compared to previous models. I just don't want to deal with slower drives. I will be building a new PC in a few months and I see Sea...

As an avid reader my truck is crowded with books of all sorts. As you can imagine storage space is at a premium in a truck. To solve the problem of carrying so many books in the truck I picked up a Sony Pocket Edition Reader digital book. I have to say that this thing is great. I had looked at a Kindle recently and really didn't care much for the display. I just couldn't see spending a lot of time reading that display without eye strain. The Sony device is far better in that regard. Sony's...

Hell, had I not read the article in its entirety I would have never guess what does Porn and MicroUSB have in common. But it seems that when it comes to the latest in technology, even the Porn Industry has a take in what is usually the geeks domain. So what does Porn and MicroUSB have in common? Well, some of you may have heard how the Porn Industry, some time ago, decided to place their incredible influence in helping decide what would become the standard for movies back in the days, VHS or ...

I hope someone here has any idea of this product. I have heard of the iClone before but never actually seen one. My wife has a friend with 2 of them she wants to sell but I am skeptical of them. Has anyone here seen or tried one? I looked online and have found very little that would suggest its not good, mostly skepticism like mine. On the other hand I find a lot of info claiming it's actaully better than the iPhone in many ways. It has all the basic features of the iPhone but if it's an MP3 ...

Nixon is a relatively new brand in comparison to some of the old school watch brands but that has certainly not prevented it making a huge impact on the watch industry. Founded in California in 1997, Nixon began as a relatively small watch manufacturer and designed and made timepieces for the younger market. However in the past ten years they have broadened their target audience and have thus become hugely successful in the fashion industry. Nixon Watches are a highly desirable ...

The brand Guess was founded in 1981 by the Marciano brothers, who moved to California from Morocco. The brained gained quick recognition as a result of their range of designer jeans which were regarded as stylish, sexy and unique. In 1984, following the popularity of the denim wear, Guess soon developed the male and female collection with its range of designer watches. Guess Watches have now been popular for over two decades and what is favoured about them is their ability to lo...

DKNY is one of those brands who have created a hugely successful range of clothing, accessories and fragrances, all of which are consistent with one another. Once people experience DKNY they tend to then stick with the brand favouring the edgy yet sophisticated style it has to offer. In order to compliment a great piece of DKNY clothing for example, a DKNY watch is a great way to accessorise it. DKNY Watches are the depiction of sophistication yet still have the element of New York c...
