GNC-2010-09-21 #612 Go Ivi Go!

We knew this was coming, Ivi is in a battle for their survival. I am going to do my best to do a interview with their CEO this week to have available on the The Morning Tech Show. I am at a turning point with the Podcast Awards, info in todays show, plus how your host is operating with a

Blue Announces Mikey for Flip

My family has a total of 3 Flip Cameras, two SD and one HD. My wife carries one in her purse, I have one in my car so that if I just happen to see another UFO, at least I will have a chance of capturing some video of it. Seriously though we have been using Flip cameras for a

HippoRemote Pro

I would love to have the opportunity to try the Hippo Remote Pro on the Ipad, on the Iphone it feels cramped at times. Even with this complaint, it is great to be able to sit back in a chair and play some Youtube videos. Then when I am tired of them, I can go to Hulu and choose which video I want to play, hit the play button all without leaving the HippoRemote. If you are looking for a good remote control on either the Iphone or Ipad I highly recommend the HippoRemote Pro, it is easy to use and can be customized to your needs.

The Man Who Lied To His Laptop

I just finished listening to the unabridged Audible audio book version of “The Man Who Lied To His Laptop” by Clifford Nass and Corina Yen. After many years of working as a software interface design consultant, Clifford Nass has developed the theory that human brains cannot completely and fundamentally distinguish the difference between interacting with people and interacting with devices.

Fun With Android – “Camera 360”

A few months have passed since getting my Sprint HTC Evo. I’ve had a chance to try out a number of different apps. I’ve finally found one I liked well enough to buy. “Camera 360” is a full-featured software camera that can be used in addition to or as a replacement for the stock camera software that ships with different

Westinghouse LED HDTV

Everyday we are being bombarded by advertising that shows sheet after sheet of LED TV's on sale and available at amazing prices. To think how much I spent on my Sony projection screen 5 years ago, makes me want to cry based on how much I paid for it compared to today's prices. For the most part consumers are really

Accepting Credit Cards – There’s an App for That?

Stumbled upon this interesting concept and device the other day, and have been intrigued.  Can just anyone accept a credit card payment using their iPhone and a mini-credit-card reader device plugged into the jack? This is the scenario:  I want to buy a homecoming dress for my daughter from a local seller on Craigslist. I  don't want to have to

Skin Me, Baby!

I have been a fan of skins since I discovered the first one for a messenger program I used to use in the 90's.  Who wants boring blue, light blue, and gray on all their application windows browsers?  And by extension, on their electronic devices?  I know we were all glad when we went from "putty" colored CPU's and monitors

GNC-2010-09-17 #611 Wait till you see the Rover Tracks!

There is so much great tech in this show, that I did not get through the entire stack some of the stuff at the end I only casually covered due to time constraints. Join me on Saturday for The Morning Show. Should be a great show, we have two new guest, one calling in from the UK. Have suggestions on

Tricaster TCXD850 Delivery Delays

As all of you know I have been awaiting on the delivery of theTricaster TCXD850 to date we are still waiting on delivery. Newtek has not been real public on what is causing the delays beyond heavy demand. With record pre-orders it is apparent that Newtek is having significant trouble working off backlog,  as many of their dealers are still

Is Twitter all That?

I use Twitter every day, but being I have about a million other things to do, like work! I do not have time to follow the ever updating stream of information. Sure I take a look 3 or 4 times a day but I do not live on Twitter. Some have made the argument that because of Twitter and Facebook,
