ADOBE!!! STOP!!!
The news is Adobe is moving to Creative Cloud only. Want a new version of Photoshop, well cough up $20-$50/month by annual contract now! This is awesome for businesses. But sucks for freelancers.
This is obviously a sneaky way to bring in new customers and stop pirating of their software. This trend is kinda annoying. I was all for it when SimCity came out but SimCity is game not a...

Poor Myspace.
I want to love you again Myspace. But I don’t think you’ll be able to recover this time. You’re no different than the windows phone at this point. Why drag out this miserable death. Justin you should’ve changed the name from Myspace to something else, so no one would relate it to the disaster that it is. Those impressive stats (picture above) mean nothing now. [[MORE]]

700 Digital Marvel #1s for Free
Comixology is giving away for Free 700 Digital Downloads including Marvel’s #1s. I counted only 688 of actual Marvel Titles.
Ok… finding 700 Free Comics is rare. And not always so easy. The site is incredibly slow when I visited it and got a few errors. But it will be worth the trouble when you have that much eye candy and reading material.
This offer ends Tuesday! Act Fast!

Chromebook Pixel available now!
Google has started selling their new Chromebook Pixel at $1299. Yikes that’s a lot for a Chromebook. What justifies the high cost? Well premium parts, Gorilla Glass multi-touchscreen, Intel i5 chip, 32GB or 64GB solid state drive, Backlit keyboard and the fact they could sell on it “sale” for $999 in a few months? So far on paper it really doesn’t seem to cutting edge for...

The New SimCity Coming March 5th 2013!
It’s been a long time since I’ve played SimCity. A very long time! SimCity is now in its 6th release. I got my hands on the closed beta 2nd round and boy is it fun. My short time with SimCity showcased some amazing visuals and gameplay. I just know I’m going to spend long hours playing the game. Best of all… No more placing electrical lines! I told you I haven’t...

iWatch (my thoughts)
The news feeds are letting everyone know an “iWatch” from Apple is coming. Apple’s history of under delivering their first generation product and through the years the 3rd or 4th version of the product becomes a must have item, we believe the iWatch can be a huge disappointment or mega hit. Everyone wants the Dick Tracy watch. I totally would love that!

Tumblr Video Error?
Tumblr Icon (Photo credit: chadarizona)
Tumblr is a great blogging platform. Plus it doesn’t care if I run ads… not like some other platforms *COUGH*WORDPRESS*COUGH. But just curious if other people’s embedded video links are working? If you look at some previous posts you’ll see the videos are gone.

Pardon Our Relocation
I feel like its been forever since we talked! We are getting settled in our new home in Silicon Valley. Surprisingly enough the real estate market is gone crazy here. Tons of people have been foreclosed upon so the rental market is crazy. Who knew finding a place to live is really hard, at least trying to stay within a budget.

Tell Everyone to Buy Nokia's Smartphones
If Nokia was a car maker, it would be Ford. As Ford has spent tons of money to rebound to produce the best product the world has ever seen, so has Nokia. The Nokia Lumia 900 is the phone people should get.
It’s simple, Microsoft and Nokia are spending millions to prove Windows Phone is a good competitor to iPhone and Android. I believe that to be true. Here’s why:

Katy Perry Timeline Facebook Video

Terahertz Wireless Connection blazing fast!
The Wireless Spectrum (PDF) is insane to look at. For the amount of communication we conduct it just isn’t enough. While the chart only goes up to 300 GHz it shows near the bottom that the Terahertz Band is in the Infrared range. Which is much faster than Microwaves. Imagine your Wi-Fi traveling extremely fast with this technology.[[MORE]]

GM don't like Facebook, HA!
I know I’m a little bit behind on the Tech News but I thought this story was the funniest story ever! GM’s marketing will make no difference on car sales. Besides some of the Cadillacs and Chevy Trucks, why would anyone want to buy a GM vehicle? Not when Ford, Toyota, and Honda can advertise minimally and still have good sales figures.
Let’s see the real strategy, announcing...

But the trailer sold me because the language is uncensored.[[MORE]]

Pulp Fiction Shakespeare: A Must See!
When I was a freshman in high school, my friend and I sneaked into a showing of Pulp Fiction at our local theater. The scene we caught right as we sat down was when Vincent accidentally shoots Marvin in the face. I’ll never forget that moment, because instead of being shocked, the audience laughed insanely loud. So I guess I later found the humor in it. That made me a fan of Quentin...
