No more free ride with companies that want to buy off this show host with $10.00 in free products to give away on the show. Time to get their check books out instead. One more show left here in New Mexico before loading up and heading home. Lot's of tech tonight and some serious soap box time. The following Sponsors
News broke today of the new Dell Inspiron Duo - a combination netbook and tablet. Does it look cool? Yes. Will it actually be cool? We'll see. Here are the specs. A 10.1" screen, Intel dual-core Atom N550 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 250GB hard drive. Those are especially good for a netbook. It will also run Windows 7 Home
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you'll have heard about Microsoft's return to the mobile phone space with Windows Phone 7. And boy, have they returned. Combined with the hardware of the HTC 7 Trophy, it delivers in spades. Initial impressions were good; not only am I fond of the mini-tablet format, the design
Editors Note - As Blake pointed out, there is a 1 DVD + online movie plan for $8.99. The wait is over... Roku announced today that Hulu Plus is now available to watch as an application. You can try the service free for one week, but thereafter, for $7.99 a month, you can watch network television run shows within 12
Need a bigger green screen, had fun experimenting with it will introduce it once I get back to Hawaii. Lot's of tech tonight and I keep the show to just an hour. Some big announcements coming later this week just waiting on some deliverables from some vendors. The following Sponsors support GNC your support of them is appreciated! GoDaddy services
If you have a blog and are always looking for photos to spice up your posts then there's anew site that you will want to check out. It's called Wylio. It searches millions of creative commons photos to find what you are looking for. Just use common sense about what you find, as their website states: "be pragmatic when you
If you are using the Firefox 4 Beta edition then you may have noticed a couple days ago that Beta 7 became available. You may even have received it automatically. If you didn't then go ahead and download it. I have been using it for a couple of days and I like what I have found so far. The first
On Monday Facebook will be making a special announcement, the latest rumor is that they are going to be announcing an email program that is run through Facebook. If this rumor is true, then to me this is a step backward to the walled gardens of yesterday. If you've were on the Internet in the 1990's and early 2000's then you remember AOL at its height. You would get the disk in the mail pop it in your computer and you were in the AOL universe. Want the news sure you could have it as long as it was what AOL said was the news. Entertainment no problem as long as you wanted what AOL had to offer. For a long time this was the Web to a lot of people. It was safe and seemed to have everything you wanted. Of course those who were computer savvy knew that the Web was a whole lot larger and the Web itself was only a small part of the the larger Internet. AOL was just one room in a house standing in the middle of a huge world. Once people knew that there was a larger web out there then AOL felt like a prison rather then a garden. Happily with the explosive growth of broadband and the decline of dialup the AOL walled garden broke down and the Web opened up for most people
Making the switch to Mac OS/X a few years ago as my primary computing platform was not without its sacrifices. Among these was Adobe Audition. Sure, I could use Audition in a Windows virtual machine, but it just wasn't the same thing and entailed its own sacrifices. Sacrifice no more. Adobe finally heeded the call for Audition for Mac OS/X,
There are times when I go, "Why didn't I think of that?" and this is one of them. If you use earbuds to listen to music and you are forever getting the cable twisted, knotted or generally in a mess, then have a look at BudTrap. It's a little doughnut-shaped rubber ring that fits over the 3.5mm jack and then
Next show I am going to try and do some green screen which should be fun. I played with it tonight before the show and was blown away that I could get a good key here in the hotel room. Lot's of tech and some new site and sponsor announcements next week. The following Sponsors support GNC your support of
When I bought my most recent A/V receiver two years ago 5.1 was the norm. But my new Yamaha was capable of 7.1 so I thought I had future-proofed myself for the next few years. Never mind that I am only using 5.1 of it, it was the fact that I COULD do 7.1 that gave me a smug feeling.
