A sad state of affairs while at the bookstore
I was at Borders this weekend with my other half. I still like going to actual physical bookstores. I like seeing all the bookcases with all the different titles. I like reading the covers and seeing if I will like it. I usually start my tour at the magazines, segue over to mysteries and science [...]
gTasks and CES- the perfect combo
While here at CES, I have been running around like the proverbial chicken with my head cut off. There is so much to do, but worse, there is so much to remember to do once I get back home. Geez. How in the world are you supposed to keep track of it all? Well, one [...]
A quick mention on the awesome battery life of a G1
This has been my first trip to CES. I had NO idea what to expect. Well, to quote the Greatful Dead, “what a long strange trip its been!” When I was packing to come, I wasn’t sure what I was going to need, especially in the gear department. I consulted the all knowing Judie, and [...]
Does 3-D make you queasy?
I have been at CES this week on behalf of another web site. As I have been here, I have noticed that one of the biggest themes is 3-D. We have 3-D televisions, 3-D movies, make your own 3-D movies, 3-D on your laptop…Its the “I want my 3-D TV!” CES. I was talking to [...]

Apple really does control its press leaks
I just read this over at Slashdot and it confirms what I have always thought about Apple and its “leaks” about their technology to the press: “I was a Senior Marketing Manager at Apple and I was instructed to do some controlled leaks,” confesses John Martellaro. Monday’s article at the Wall Street Journal, which provided [...]
Geek Squad Founder feels remorse, regret
Ok all. Raise your hand if you have suffered at the hands of Geek Squad over at Best Buy. Wow, that many of you. Sorry. Now I know that Geek Squad can do a good job. Its just over 2009, their reputation for service caused them more harm that good. Stolen gear, spying on people [...]
AT&T wants you to lose your landline
Ok, I admit I don’t know many people who have landline phones from the traditional phone company anymore. Most people now a days have a VOIP phone that is part of the cable, phone, and Internet plans offered as a bundle from a lot of vendors (Brighthouse, Comcast, Verizon, etc). The idea is to phase [...]
Toshiba teaches your phone to speak multiple languages
I have always wanted to visit the Orient. I an enamored with its culture. But, like so many Westerners, I can’t speak the languages. When I try, it sounds awful (especially since I have a slight New Jersey accent to boot.) I have been watching for a while all of these translator applications that can [...]
