As I was writing my long-winded post on streaming in XBMC vs myPlex last night I was holding onto a little secret. As a member of the Android beta team at Plex I let in on this little nugget of info a few weeks back, but could not say anything about it. I love talking [...]
Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a pretty big movie fan. Beyond that I am also a media streaming fanatic. I have a very large collection of Movies, Tv Shows and Music. This collection is so large that it is impossible to attempt carrying it with me where ever I go. My music alone of [...]
The screen on the Galaxy Nexus is there for more than just good looks. I’m not sure why this has not been stated, or how it has been overlooked. Bear in mind that Google has stated that ICS will be the official merger of phones and tablets for Android, I guess with all [...]
When I posted up Apple, Google and an 800 pound Gorilla, I didn’t really expect it to get the response that I did from it. Sure I expected some opinions from the readers here, a few ideologically based arguments and a few rants. I did not expect that this post would end up with reactionary postings on other blogs. Not bad for my [...]
We can all assume that Amazon’s upcoming tablet will probably sell pretty well. At half the price of other tablets and sitting on equal ground with its primary competition, the Nook Color, this should be a win, win for Amazon and consumers alike. That is not really whats exciting about this product though. What excites me is the [...]
It looks like we have lost an oldie in the Android market. As a G1 user during the infancy of the platform, there were few apps that stood out and evoked that “Oh Wow” feeling. Being a geek and someone who watched Star Trek The Next Generation from day one, the Tricorder app from [...]
A new poll out of Nielsen’s shows that late adopters of the smartphone platform could have a major impact on market share in the US. It seems just as we see in the political world where registered Independents, can determine the ebb and flow of party politics, a large group of undecided consumers will be the [...]
Samsung CEO Choi Gee Sung states that his company will ‘never’ make a move on WebOS to the press while attending the IFA consumer electronics fair, in Berlin today. He went on record further by adding “It’s not right that acquiring an operating system is becoming a fashion,”. Let’s not to forget that Samsung already pushes its [...]
I am in the middle of fleshing out my follow-up article for Apple, Google and an 800 pound Gorilla. While writing, I started to realize that many of the opinions I hold and the opinions of those that commented were viewed from only one side, Google’s side to be more specific. Not only that, but as [...]
The US Department of Justice has finally weighed in on the AT&T, T-Mobile merger. They are not happy and words such as antitrust are being thrown around. A report out of Bloomberg today states that the DOJ has filed to block the AT&T acquisition of T-Mobile, stating that the deal would “substantially lessen competition” and “AT&T’s elimination of [...]
Most of you may not know, because it’s not in my bio here, but I have drawn since near birth. Ok, that’s a slight exaggeration but not by much. There were very few times between the age of 5 and 30 where I didn’t have a pad and pencil in my hand. Before I went [...]
There is a rumor out of Digitimes that Samsung may have an interest in HP’s computer division. This has been bolstered by news that they have hired HP’s former Personal Systems Group VP of Marketing Raymond Wah and put him in charge of Samsung’s PC sales. There seems to be some debate about the rational behind [...]
When Stormy first showed me this article on TechCrunch, I was blown aback by the idea of all the quality iOS apps I would have at my disposal. Then I started thinking and the more I thought about it, the more I began to think this might not be a great idea. Now I want [...]
We all love our friend Andy, the simple fact that you are reading this is proof of that alone. Some of us love him a little more than others. With that said I would like those of you that fly your Android fanboy flag strong, to lower it for just a moment. I would like [...]
