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 that $1300 price tag. Maybe you just need to experience it if you are lucky enough to have already received your Chromebook or try testing it out at your local best buy that has it available in-store.

For me, a computer that can only operate Google Chrome OS is only worth $199. Luckily the Acer C7 Chromebook is just the right price with the perfect specs. Give it time folks, it will get better. Plus with the announcement of Google retail stores coming soon, their products department will surely increase in size, demand and quality.

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 played in a long time!

Tech Theater with my 2+ year old Android

Oh my little HTC Aria, you’re so cute and little but pack so much power.

You make people stop in the street and ask me, “Hey, what phone you got?”

HTC Aria your 3.5” screen is beautiful, but you may have led me to get a new prescription on my glasses.

You wanna know the weather? HTC Aria delivers weather conditions in seconds. Sunny & 65 degrees :)

HTC Aria? HTC Aria? Are you ok? I charged you two hours ago… Why are you saying 5% battery. Your red LED is flashing so much. No…. NO HTC ARIA… you were the best friend I ever had… :””(

And that folks is what I predict will happen in about two weeks, thanks to AT&T messing with HTC. You don’t hear of the Nexus One by HTC having this issue.

(Don’t worry I’m ordering a new battery)

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!

Bluetooth & E-ink technology is what makes the Pebble Watch a success and might have given Apple the extra push to create an iWatch. For Apple to do this right, it needs to have the watch sync and interact with all their Bluetooth products, function as a standalone phone (no iPhone or Bluetooth necessary), and its gotta be stylish/functional.

Apple might already have the foundation ready with the iPod Nano. That MP3 player is tiny, lightweight, multi-functional, touch screen and already converts into a watch by 3rd party support. It would be so easy to push a iPod Nano Watch…. so easy. I on the other would like to challenge Apple on creating something unique.

The Apple iWatch doesn’t need to do everything. Just start with the Dick Tracy watch and move on from there. If there is one thing that Apple does well, its simplicity.

Modern Seinfeld Twitter @seinfeldtoday

Seinfeld Fans the show lives on… on Twitter! Visit @seinfeldtoday

Yes I’ve seen every single Seinfeld episode, and if you’re a big fan like me you must visit them on Twitter!

Not only does it prove Seinfeld had the simplest plot, but typing it out in a 140 characters just visually displays the shows cleverness and long lasting power.

Some of my favorite tweets:
”George’s gf (Aisha Tyler) dumps him for laughing at the wrong time in Django Unchained. Elaine writes descriptions for Vitamin Water bottles”

“Jerry’s gf (Claire Coffee) dumps him for mispronouncing “quinoa.” Kramer & Elaine do a juice cleanse. Elaine struggles, but Kramer thrives.”

“Jerry is sick of hearing about everyone’s podcasts. George thinks he’s mastered the art of the misleading profile photo.”

“Jerry makes a dinner reservation online, but they won’t seat him, because he never replied to the confirmation email. Bania gets his table.”

“Elaine is late to a movie because her new boyfriend (James Wolk) will only get in hybrid cabs. Jerry’s new gf cheats at Words With Friends.”

“Jerry breaks up with a beautiful woman because she favorites every one of his tweets. Kramer and Newman start a podcast.”

“Jerry breaks up with his girlfriend (Rashida Jones) because she Instagrams everything she eats. George tries to get a job with the Nets.”

“George gets a car that parallel parks itself, but still crashes while parking. Jerry tries to switch to tea. Kramer starts a pawn shop.”

“After he learns it’s been canceled, Kramer starts his own version of Cash Cab in his car. People think he’s trying to kidnap them.”

If you can think of your own, tweet it out and hopefully you get a re-tweet from @seinfeldtoday

And…. We’re Back!

In 2012 we’ve taken quite a few breaks in our schedule……. but that’s life. 2013 we plan on hittin’ it hard. We plan on expanding topics and find the things that matter to our readers. Just wanted to say thanks for following our Robot Sonic train.

Here is a few things we are excited about for 2013:

6. Sim City: Dudes… its coming March 5th 2013. And we can’t wait!

5. New Mobile Devices: The price of tablets are getting cheaper and Android is leading that pack. While currently the quality of these tablets are lacking, that should be a thing of the past in the new year. Google’s Android and Apple’s IOS 7 should be interesting.

4. Video Games: I’ve gotten my hands on the new WII U and its really interesting. I claim it as a giant Nintendo DS. The future of Sony and Microsoft in gaming will be tested this next year.

3. The fate of Microsoft Windows 8: Will it last??? You can only push your customers enough before their just not that interested.

2. New Streaming Services: Movies, TV shows, Original Content, Music… Where will Spotify, Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, and Crackle stand the coming year.

1. All the new gadgets that will shape our future!

We hope everyone has a happy and safe new year!
