Over the past 6 months I have been an proponent of the Mophie Juice Pack Air. For those that do not know, your iPhone slides into the Juice pack and when you are getting low on power you throw the switch on the bottom of the Juice Pack Air and your phone starts charging. They are not cheap they run
Are you willing to pay for the news. That is what Rupert Murdoch maybe betting on. Rupert Murdoch is the owner of a media empire which includes the New York Post, the Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones. Lately he has been talking about removing his news empire from Google Search and putting them behind a pay wall
Never let your Audio recorder start doing a Virus Scan in the middle of the show. 15 minutes had to be re-recorded tonight which sucks.. You know me no editing but when the audio was blank I had to do it twice. Probably better the second time around anyway. Ongoing support by these fine sponsors keep the lights on your
Today, Comcast is expected to close the deal on a 51% stake in NBC Universal. Comcast is the cable service provider in 25% of the homes in the United States. For NBC, the oldest broadcaster of record, this is the end of an era. Comcast, known primarily as a provider of the pipeline, will now be holder of one of
Word comes today that Apple has applied for a patent for an "enforcement routine" that will force viewers to see commercials on various devices. And when I say force, I truly mean force. The patent application indicates that the forced-advertisement will freeze a device until you indicate that you've actually read/responded to the ad (through the use of clicking a
Well, a Federal judge ruled and Psystar lost their case. Apple has definitely shown the hand of God here. But the real question is: Will it be the end of it? Hopefully not. On Friday, Judge William Alsup sided with Apple that Psystar has indeed violated the End User License Agreement (EULA). He ruled that installation of the Mac OS
Over the past couple of years I have had major challenges with the Boom Mic that I use for my Podcast. Up until last week, I used a Boom Mic from the O.C. White Company. While the boom mic from O.C. White served it's purpose when I hung my "Mouse" from Blue Microphones on it the Mic Boom had a
O.K. - Check out this Onion article - Man's Facebook Status Given Book Deal Now check out this article on WSJ - S---mydadsays Lands TV Deal Can someone say "Irony?" Little did the Onion know, they were reporting a "Close to news" story. And it happened in the same week. I heard about this Twitter account a few weeks ago.
I don't know about you, but I've always found that the rechargeable batteries that replace disposable batteries somewhat lacking. The nickel-cadmiums (NiCd) suffered from the memory effect and the nickel metal hydrides (NiMH) eliminated that, but still lost charge when not in use. I'm currently using the Hybrio / Eneloop batteries which solve both of the above, but they still
Ok Mini contest someplace in the show, gonna make you do a little scavenger hunt hope you participate. Big thanks to Jeffrey and Sam who split the prize on suggestions for the Video portion of the show. While the implementation did not go perfect tonight we will get it dialed in over the coming weeks. Huge number of ideas all
Interestingly this week two people that I follow on line did blog post on having to deal with people who flamed them because of something they said or did. Chris Pirillo post a email he received from a viewer "The Best Email Flame I Ever Received", and Todd Cochrane replying to emails he received after his post "State of the
I hear it all the time - Dang Vista won't work. They still get frustrated over printer failures, slow programs loading and just basic aggravation to it's performance.
