Give me a Big Beautiful Phone with a projector!

The Bigger the Better!
The brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus is thin and ever so slightly curved and the Motorola Droid Razor is incredibly thin. BUT WHY!?? I’ve determined the reason they want smartphones thinner is just for bragging rights. I would love a thicker heavier odd shaped (yet modern) phone if it was full of features!
Let’s see give me: a...

Videogames: Time You'll Never Get Back!
I need a break. I’m tired, sleep deprived, and I need to vent my frustrations on some mind numbing video games. The last time I felt like this I went on Google+ and explored the new games section. Having been extremely addicted to Mob Wars and Mafia Wars on Facebook I knew to just kill time on Google+ and then put myself back into reality. Sadly my lack of self control won and found...

Science is Amaze Balls!
I just finished watching Parallel Universe: Are they real? Narrated by Morgan Freeman on the Science Channel. My mind is blown! Tuning into the show, I realize that the parallel universe notion is a just a theory. Obviously it hasn’t been proven that parallel universe’s exist. But boy does the show go out of its way with amazing visuals to prove their existence.
Without giving too...

Bittorrent: Just Stop!
The Media Industry is ramping up the war on piracy, I believe, because they’ve lost the market for CDs and DVDs. They are trying to use the ProtectIP Act and SOPA to have the power to shut down any website they like. Now is the worst time to be using a popular file sharing service bittorrent. My advice is to delete everything you’ve ever illegally downloaded on your pc. Extreme?...

iPads on a Plane!
At this point turning off your iPad during takeoff and landing is such a first world problem. According to ZDNet’s article, Pilots will now be able to use iPads during flights, doing away with heavy manuals. Really??? Aren’t you just a little annoyed that pilot’s can leave their iPad’s on in the cockpit and during “all phases of flight”, and you have to turn...

Throw-away Society
*Warning* This article is completely my opinion.
I live in United States of America and I live in a Throwaway Society. I’ve watched a lot of documentaries convincing me that most US citizens have a screwed perception of reality, as most people care more about technology and things versus their physical health. And as I write this, I can’t stop myself from changing, I’m one of...

A Perfectly Good Photo
In the current cell phone market, only three smartphones (my opinion) that have a top notch camera worthy of ditching your compact camera: Apple 4S, Samsung Galaxy S II, & Nokia N9. The camera on those phones are shockingly good. All three of their app markets have photo altering applications. The one I’d like to focus on is the most popular: Instagram… strangely only...

Republic Wireless is the wireless plan for the...
A new wireless carrier Republic Wireless enters the game. They offer a no contract “unlimited” calls, text, and data plan (if you follow the terms of use). Certainly don’t expect RW to over throw the Big Four carriers though. In my opinion, if the government was a wireless carrier they would be RW. Two reasons why it seems like a government cell phone plan, because...

AHHH LIFE!
I’m terribly sorry I haven’t posted any articles recently. My kid likes to keep me up all night and my job likes to keep me busy… What’s their problem??!!
Any who I’m planning on making it up to you with a fresh dose of perspective. All I need is a good night’s sleep and this steaming pile of stress cleaned up.
You can still follow me on Twitter:...

Facebook & Twitter: Corporate Customer Service...
I’m sure you’ve noticed the evolution of how companies are practically forced to use Facebook & Twitter as Customer Service. Referencing the picture dialogue above (it didn’t take me very long to find that), what used to happen was people would say all this negative stuff and businesses for the most part wouldn’t care… they just wanted you as a number (old...

Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs has worked incredibly hard in his life to achieve his goals and succeed in his career. It’ll be sad to see his vision for the company he started, begin to fade over the next few years. Jobs really innovated with the macintosh, iMac, iPod, iPhone & iPad. It seemed it was always about simplicity and modern design when using an Apple product. I have always bashed Apple...

@sparker Former Facebook CEO
“Sorry Zuck, I had to do it eventually. (Actually@scooterbraun made me do it.)”
Sean Parker had a guest appearance last night on Jimmy Fallon. He was there to promote Spotify. For a minute I was like Sean Parker? He represents Spotify? When did all this happen? Why was he MIA for so long? No matter the reason, he is now publicly on twitter… he didn’t have to, he...

The Starbucks Jerk
This one is totally unrelated to my usual technology articles… but had to write this… You know the story… you’re standing in line waiting to give your Starbucks order and the guy in front of you says his order (almost mumbles) and when the cashier repeats and order and its slightly wrong, the customer in line just BLOWS UP!
It happened to me and I was shocked! First off...

Rocketfish PadPivot Stand
When I go shopping for clothes… I just get a shirt or pant. That’s it. But when it comes to my computer, smartphone, and TV… I need accessories! I love shopping for stupid tech accessories. I will confess I don’t have an iPad, but if I did I need me some Rocketfish PadPivot Stand. And at $39.99 available at best buy its at a good fair price. I ride the train for 2.5...

Social Advertising Works?!
Just in the last 3 days I found myself clicking on ads for photography (I’m a photographer) 3D Design (I’m a 3D Modeler) and Jobs (I’m always working). Who’s doing it right? Facebook! Facebook is doing a killer job knowing what you like! On a personal level it seems to be working very well with me and I’m finding them to be less of an annoyance and more of...

FREE ON DEMAND MUSIC!!!
If your that person who still buys cds from best buy… please stop. For the Love of God Please STOP NOW!! (Now that I think about it.. I wonder if someday the old what’s old is new thing will happen to tape cassettes… one day!!)
Its no longer illegal to listen to “free music”, when you pair it with a reputable company who is willing to stream tunes directly to your...

Uploading Images to Social Networks
When you upload pics of your vacation and share them on facebook to your friends, seems to be the norm… we know the dangers… and we know how to adjust our privacy settings so photos don’t get leaked…. RIGHT??? Seriously if you don’t know how to adjust the privacy settings when uploading let me know… cause I’ll write a separate post.
My real reason for...

The Power of Twitter! @robot_sonic
OH… Haha… I finally get it! Silly Rabbit Twitter is for Teenagers! Well… really its for those that want to be anonymous online, self promotion, and/or all kinds of marketing purposes. There is all this talk about protecting your online identity from your boss and predators. What better way than to join a very popular service that doesn’t care too much how you use...
