Words With Friends

I have been a heavy player of Words With Friends for the past couple of years. Once in awhile I would notice that my opponent would play seemingly from a different set of letters then what I had been presented with. For some reason I assumed that both players were playing from the same set of letters, thus fairly matching

Zynga Will No Longer Require Players to Use Facebook

This is exactly what I've been waiting to hear from Zynga! As you may recall, Zynga and Facebook changed their relationship status in November of 2012. It marked the beginning of changes between the two companies. To make a long story short, it appeared that there was potential that there would come a day when people who did not have

Striker’s Simple Sucker is a cheap, universal phone mount

A couple of weeks back I took a look at one of two Striker products that I had recently ordered. The Light Mine turned out to be a great little tool for around the house, as I used it during a power outage yesterday, but I primarily intend to use it hiking and camping. The other product I picked up

Which is it? $99 Amazon Kindle Fire or no?

Two major tech blogs seem to be warring today over Amazon rumors -- to save problems I will not even bother naming or linking to either because it is honestly not even important to the whole story here. The subject in question is if Amazon has a $99 Kindle Fire HD in the works or not. While there are sources

Today only – Amazon offering 4 TB Seagate drive for $139

Depending on your location, you perhaps have more of the day left than I do here in the, still rather chilly, mid-Atlantic region. That's a good thing if you are looking for your next external hard drive, because today Amazon has a one day deal for you. The online retailer is offering the Seagate 4 TB USB 3.0 external HDD

GNC-2013-03-18 #844 No Cell Service?

I was off-site today and the location I was in had no cell service have not seen a location like that in years. The Hotel bandwidth is good thank goodness. Cold here in Hoosier country... Lots to share and of course I talk about my Delta Airline experience. Subscribe Today: Audio | Video (HD) | Mobile Video | iTunes |

CEO John Riccitello Resigns from EA

It's official. The CEO of Electronic Arts, John Riccitiello, has resigned. Personally, I'm not very surprised by this news considering the problems that EA has experienced. In his place, for now, will be Chairman Larry Probst, who is a previous EA chief executive, while the board searches for a permanent replacement. According to the Wall Street Journal, EA's shares have

Video Podcasts Behaving Like TV?

One of the downsides to Internet-based video content is that generally each new program being played back must be initiated by the user. This isn't much of a problem if one is watching a full-length movie or television show via Netflix or Amazon Streaming. However, if one is watching short-form content like video podcasts such as "Film Riot" then watching

Yurbuds Ironman Series Earphones

Spring is coming, which means a lot of walking outside. I like to listen to music or podcasts when I am walking. The problem I have is my ears get sweaty and when they do I have trouble keeping most earphones in. I could wear over the ear headphones, but then I can’t hear what is happening around me and

G-Technology G-Drive Mobile Review

On review today is the G-Technology G-Drive Mobile, a 1 TB mobile external hard drive. Aimed squarely at the Apple MacBook crowd, the brushed aluminium finish and white LED compliments the host machine, and the combination of both USB3 and FireWire 800 show its Mac heritage. Of course the drive can be formatted for Windows or Linux use but the

Google Created a Dancing Doodle for St. Patrick’s Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you are celebrating in the United States, this day involves viewing a parade and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. If that doesn't interest you, then perhaps the Google Doodle for today will. Google has created an adorable troop of Irish dancers for today's Doodle, who appear to be preforming a traditional Irish dance, (complete with
