Having traveled all over the world over the past 30 years has given me some perspective on being thankful. Those of us that live in America are afforded opportunities that while not 100% unique are such that any person with a lot of hard work can succeed and make something out of nothing. As I reflect on my travels I
As our American cousins tuck into their Thanksgiving turkey, the BBC has two quick quizzes to test your knowledge of the holiday. Try the easy version or the hard version. Enjoy the celebration!
Until I received an ad in my email today it escaped me that Dell sold mobile phones. Sure I knew they made a couple of them and logically they would sell those, but not a whole line of phones from other manufacturers. And they have good prices too...really good prices. The revelation came in the form of an email ad
...then prove it with Sony's Gran Turismo 5 3D gaming tournament, coming to HMV stores in UK from Saturday. GT5 was finally launched in UK today to much anticipation by the PlayStation 3 crowd. It's a few years late but with over 1000 cars, 70 circuits and 3D, it might actually be worth it. Previous incarnations of Gran Turismo have
In a little bit of a UK scoop, the folks at Buffalo lent GNC three of their latest wireless "n" products for a first review. The three AirStation devices were announced and covered by GNC back in October, so we'll skip the usual pleasantries and get down to business. First up, was the AirStation N-Technology USB2 adapter (WLI-UC-GNM) which is
1. The shows I want are not available on the Iphone or Ipad 2. Shows expire 3. The commercials 4. Its still not available on the TiVo 5. It is blocking Google TV and Boxee Once I decided to try Hulu Plus I started to look around at shows that I wanted to watch. The first thing I noticed was that more then half were not available on the Iphone, which is where I watch a lot of my videos, so that is strike one. Strike two was the fact that shows that I wanted to watch like Fringe expire and become unavailable. I went back to catch up with Fringe and the shows from earlier this season had expired and were not available. I don't understand the point of expiring videos, especially those from the current season. Strike three are the commercials. I have no problem with commercials in the free version I realize companies have to make money to survive. However if I am paying a subscription I don't want to see commercials. I would prefer to be given a choice to pay more and see no commercials or pay minimum and get commercials. It is still not available for the TiVo and if its anything like the wait for Pandora, it will be awhile before it will be. I don't have either the Boxee Box and or Google TV, but the fact that Hulu is blocking both of them is just dumb. If I connect my mac mini to my TV I can watch Hulu Plus, but if I connect my Google TV I can't, how this makes sense I don't know. Finally, and this a purely a personal thing there are not enough anime shows available.
I have had a very productive trip here in Albuquerque but I am more than ready to head home. Lots of work to do in the studio and not a lot of time to do it. PLus my honey do list is a mile long. I expect to do a Saturday Morning Tech Show if the Studio is ready. Sunday
Kingston has announced the first portable USB 3.0 SSD (solid state drive). The news actually came from Engadget Spain, but it appears to be official.

O2 in the UK has a launched a web-based live mobile network status checker. It allows you to check the status of its mobile network in your area by simply putting in the post code.
