New and upcoming articles will be posted here, but right now, I just have this because it looks pretty.

17 Year Old Apparently Doesn’t Know What Trademarks Are.

by admin on August 25, 2010

Image via CrunchBase Oh, and he’s apparently good at creating an algorithm that can predict [with 63% accuracy] what will end up on Digg. He’s got a site called “DiggInTheFuture” which lists what will land on the front page. GigaOm wrote a post about it titled “Hey, Digg – This 17-Year-Old Knows What You Are [...]

Facebook Adds Another Feature Created By Someone Else

Image via CrunchBase Like everything Facebook related, they’ve added something else, “Places” which was forged by sites like FourSquare and Gowalla (And I’m sure others, if I care to search for them… but I don’t). Anyway… the ongoing trend of well funded Facebook acting like AOL and having gems like the “ignorent peopl” girl populating [...]

Microsoft Integrates Facebook into Outlook, Nothing can go Wrong!

Thumbnail image for Microsoft Integrates Facebook into Outlook, Nothing can go Wrong!

Apparently Microsoft has integrated Facebook functions into Outlook. Which begs the question. Why? Why do you want to integrate something that is primarily spam into a tool that is fundamentally prone to gathering up spam without massive filtering techniques. The post is quite long and in depth, making references to being realtime contact management. Yeah, [...]

365 Days of Apple

A year ago today, I switched to Apple 100%. Other than some software issues, I’ve never looked back. One saving grace is that I don’t play games all that much, and those I do [World of Warcraft, Steam] have converted to Mac as well. So, I can play the 2 or 3 games I have. [...]

iPad 3G Returning Home? AT&T Blames Apple, Apple Blames AT&T

You might ask yourself why. Why would a tech nut purchase an item that is as fun as the iPad is, one wherein he has already spent some cashola on to get apps that only run on the iPad… then return said iPad to its tech nest [in this case Pennsylvania]. Well, here’s what happened, [...]

Apple says you are holding your phone incorrectly.

I’m sure anyone who stumbles across this site knows already, but I have to put my toe in this pool. YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. First they change the unlimited plan at AT&T to metered and I wrote about that; then they tell me that if I ever stop the plan on my [...]

Unicorn – The New White Meat, and Mark Infringement.

Since I blog about my projects while I’m working on them, I haven’t been blogging much because I’m working on my research at school instead. Because I scan about 200+ websites a day for various bits and baubles, I stumbled across this at one of my favorite “geek” sites. Aptly named “ThinkGeek” has gadgets and [...]

MaximumPC No BS Podcast argues about the merits of the Empire.

MaximumPC has a podcast named “No BS” on iTunes, I’ll just say now that you should subscribe to it. At about an hour into the Podcast #144 they start talking about the good and bad of the Empire and the Jedi. I haven’t pursued who is who, but one guy says, basically; What good did [...]

Retina Display Debunkers, I hope you can read this.

If you hold your phone any closer to your eyes than 18 inches… YOU NEED GLASSES. Perhaps Jobs said the wrong measurement, suffice it to say, you are trying too damn hard to complain about Apple. Speak with your wallet and don’t buy the products.

We’ve lost its Pulse.

So, the authors of Pulse were notified by Apple that their app has violated copyright held by NYTimes and Boston.com based on it importing the public RSS feeds from those respective sites. Included in the complaint from the attorney is the fact that it was a commercial application and I started thinking about the terminology [...]

Hyperbole 101 – Contrarianism Reporting (ZDnet Style)

Thumbnail image for Hyperbole 101 – Contrarianism Reporting (ZDnet Style)

Andrew Nusca, writing for The ToyBox on ZDnet.com says “Why Apple’s new iPhone 4 is not a Flip mini camcorder killer” which is the direct opposite of the NewTeeVee writer Janko Roettger’s point of view who says “Did Apple’s iPhone 4 Just Kill the Flip?” Now, I chose to say “Hyperbole 101 – Contrarianism Reporting [...]

Zuckerberg of Facebook Fame Gives Me The Creeps

Here is my take on things. I thought this before I read an article about the logo hoodie he had on at D8. To me, Mark Zuckerberg is the kind of guy who couldn’t, or didn’t want to, do the work necessary to get to know someone well enough to make a decision about if [...]

AT&T Rate Policy Change Meeting European and others in the Middle.

I completed my MBA in December and decided I wasn’t done with my schooling. I want to continue on and get a PhD and another Masters (Information Technology), and that led me to talking with some people from far away [geographically] places, but rather close [via the Internet] which put something in perspective. I was [...]

BP, also known as British Petroleum. I am betting a name change is coming.

Like Blackwater changing its name to Xe. I am thinking that BP, aka British Petroleum is going to change its name. It is too close to “Blowout Preventer” which didn’t work in the Gulf. I could be wrong, but then again, Halliburton was around the Deepwater Horizon recently. So, maybe it was a strategic marketing [...]

Can Entertainment Consumption Get More Intimate?

Here is my take on entertainment consumption; audio, video, interactivity, and so on. With YouTube turning 5 years old, and a lot of people talking about the 2 billion videos that YouTube streams every single day, it got me thinking about history and how things have gone from a very long arm reach away, to [...]
