Eye-fi is the first wireless memory SD card for your camera that automatically transfers the image thru Wi-Fi network to your computer. After automatically tagging the photo by location, you can designate the storage or posting location of the photograph. If there is an open hot-spot with default SSID such as Linksys or netgear it will automatically start posting. Over
As most of you know, Facebook has changed their page layout. Without notice or choice, they flipped the switch. One minute it’s one way and the next minute it’s different. That’s normally not a problem for a web savvy person such as yourself. (I’m assuming if you are reading Geek News Central, you are above average computer and web skills)
Came home from Chicago to a Studio surprise that I was not expecting. Had a great trip to Chicago, great meetings with the team out there shaping up to be a year of growth and opportunity. Lot's to share on today's show. One thing is for sure better being here warm than freezing in the Windy City. Support by these
I have been thinking about the good things that can come from HTML5 when it comes to video and new media. While there is a whole political fight going on now for HTML5 standards and looming license issues for H.264 content in 2014 lets talk about the freedom that comes with HTML5 in particular to video creators.

This is the same sort of business practice that Walmart has and still uses to keep supplier prices at an artificial low, thereby effectively pricing every
Midweek show as I head off to Chicago for a weekend of closed door meetings. Will have a lot of juicy stuff for you when I get back. Lots of tech talk tonight in a pretty laid back show. Midweek shows are always a little odd. Share the show with your Geek friends and make sure they know they have
Ever since I bought my first PDA (a Palm III) back in the late 90s, I've used the kind of touchscreen which needs you to give it a slight press, typically with stylus but a finger will work just fine too. Apparently these are resistive touchscreens and work by having two thin transparent parallel sheets which are brought together by the
Is Facebook the riskiest social networking site? According to a survey by Sophos released last week, 72% of companies surveyed indicated they had concerns about the safety of employees using the Facebook social networking site. The concern was that an increase in viruses and other computer infections were a direct result of employees using Facebook on company computers. As a
I've long been resistant to the idea of getting any kind of smart phone. I use my cell phone for phone calls, always have. I didn't feel I had a need for anything else; if I wanted email or web-surfing, I would jump to my trusty laptop to do those things. I could not understand why people wanted to do
