Working on the Format pretty happy tonight with the time adjustment, hope you agree and looking for feedback on the adjustments being made. Lots of tech as always, thanks for your email comments on the show and the supporting material for the show. Guess the terminator was wrong today was not Judgement day but how far off are we from
I have been a big fan of DYMO label makers for a number of years. One thing I have not been a fan is the footprint that the earlier printers took up on my desk. DYMO has been listening to their customers because they have introduced a stylish (PNP) plug and play label maker that sits non-obtrusively on my desk.
If your laptop is like mine and pre-dates USB 3 but you want to use USB 3 devices at their full speed, then you might be interested in the Buffalo USB 3.0 Interface ExpressCard (IFC-EC2U3/UC). It's an ExpressCard/34 size device, with two USB 3.0 ports on the side. The card will also plug into in ExpressCard/54 slot. If needed for
I downloaded Crackle on the iPad and let’s say I am rather disappointed. I might not be so disappointed if it wasn’t over marketed. First the number of movies are limited. Out of that limited number most are either clips or highlights. Those movies that are full length are at least 30 to 40 years old. The same is true
Yahoo! continues to condense the Yahoo! Giant. This time, it's Yahoo! Buzz - the Digg-like site that aggregates news articles. In a statement made on the website, it says: Yahoo! Buzz will be discontinued as of April 21, 2011. As of this date, you will be unable to access the Yahoo! Buzz site. This was a hard decision. However this
“Cut the cord.” in the hospital it means one thing but at home, in your living room, it refers to something completely different. With the amount of content readily available on the internet these days lots of people are fed up with enormous cable bills and have decided to end their service, relying solely on the videos they find online,
In a press release today, Virgin Media announced that it was trialling 1.5Gb/s cable broadband connections with four media companies in London. Offering 1.5 Gb/s down and 150 Mb/s up, if successful it would be the world's fastest cable broadband and about 240 times faster than the UK average connection speed. The technology will use the same infrastructure as delivered
Every week we hear either a patent that Apple applied for, then the next week it's a story on how Apple is suing another company for their patents. Some of these patents are pretty ridiculous. Some of it feels more like a squatting practice. So when will patent squatting become more a monopolistic practice for a company like Apple? Owning a patent
Grooveshark has become one of my favorite web apps. If you're a music fan then this is THE destination for checking out songs and deciding what you want to buy and what isn't as good, upon second listen, as you thought. Recently it entered the Android Marketplace...and then exited it just as quickly. Grooveshark is a controversial program, but tobody,
I have been thinking lately about which is more important convenience or cost and when do these two things cross. I can almost guarantee you that if there is a paid version of something a free version is not far behind or someone has hacked it. The question is when does the amount of time and frustration you put into
Yes I am back… Back in the Saddle with my first change to the show format. Quantity does not always equal quality one of the first change I am implementing on the show is more quality versus quantity. I have been jamming more and more into the show. That change starts in today’s show where I refuse to rush, even
Sony in the UK have announced the MDR‑DS6500 digital wireless 7.1ch surround sound headphones. That's quite a collection of adjectives, so to break it down into the constituent parts...
