Who knew?!? SS Huckleberry
Much more fun than talking about the latest 12 y/o kid to be arrested at school for refusing a vaccination. Hope they give him life, the little bugger!
Setting It Straight on Aliens »
Last night I watched Skyline. The special effects were awesome, truly. The aliens for the most part looked great, minus the fact that the flying aliens were direct rip offs of the Matrix Squiddies. The film is basically about the invasion of Earth by an alien species of non humanoids (new concept here in film [...]
Addicting Games »
Occasionally I share a new tech addiction that I have – in prior times I spoke a little about League of Legends, a MOBA game, that I have been borderline obsessed with for several months now. MOBAs are isometric view team combat games that are pure PVP. There is a tiny PVE element to the game in [...]
Global Warming is a Farce »
We all know about the concept of Global Warming – I mean how can we not right? It is everywhere afterall. Al Gore made Billions on the idea – sure he was spreading a message that he said he thought was important – but he did also pocket somewhere in the billions of dollars on [...]
BullSh!t – Penn & Teller »
Penn and Teller’s program, Bullsh!t is a personal favorite. In the link above, you’ll see a great example of the vaccination vs. anti-vaccination debate for children.
Obviously, I trust the omnipotent wisdom of a former playboy bunny when it comes to deciding if I’ll protect my children’s lives… so take Penn and Teller with a [...]
Facebook Launches “Places” Feature »
Today, Facebook made a much waited for announcement about their entry into the geo-location game. They’ve announced Places, with a focus on finding friends, checking in and building stories. They’ve partnered up with other exsisting companies that already play a major role in geo-location, like Gowalla, Foursquare and Yelp. Should be nice, now Facebook pages [...]
The Interweb – Narcissism at It’s Finest. »
The interweb started out as this way for various military and academic groups to collaborate on projects. It was a way for data, thoughts, and theories to be exchanged very quickly to further the expanse of knowledge and expedite its acquisition – prior to this happening people had to use Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) to do this [...]
Invisibility Technology »
So apparently some guys over at Tufts have managed to make a new form of invisibility technology in the form of silk cloth. Throughout the ages people have often wanted to be able to become invisible for many reasons, most of which are Women locker room oriented, and apparently these guys have a tech that [...]
NEW: Blackberry Torch »
RIM, as of late, has been slacking in their smartphone game. I for one, haven’t been impressed by the BlackBerry OS 6 demo videos roaming the net, but the promise of a revamped UI and new, faster browser certainly got me interested. Here’s the review on Endadget. But honestly, RIM, I think you’ll have to [...]
Auction Websites »
Since the DotCom explosion there has been this massive growth in Auction based websites. The big one of these of course is eBay, the name being a nice little play on words, who has easily the lion share of the market. The thing about eBay is they are a rather broad paintbrush in the scheme [...]
HTML 5 Palette Swapping »
These guys are amazing – they use old school video game animation techniques for palette swapping to animate some images in HTML for a browser. You will want to look at this site in something other that Internet Explorer (which sucks badly these days) as IE will just throw some crappy error about needing a [...]
Amazon’s eBook Sales Overtake Hardcover »
Amazon is still being a little sneaky with the actual number, using the word “millions,” the company has revealed that sales of its Kindle have tripled since they dropped the price $259 to $189. News that downloaded kindle eBooks have overtaken its hardcover counterparts is certainly cause for major celebration.
According to a press release, 14.3 Kindle books have [...]
Google Discontinues Nexus One »
In the same amount of time it took Apple to sell 1 million iPhones, Google only sold 135,000 of the Android-powered Nexus.
On July 16, the company announced that it received its final order from the phone’s manufacturer, HTC. The phone that was supposed to change the way you buy wireless phones. On release, the Nexus [...]
Nokia and Blackberry Respond to Apple’s Antenna Claims »
Nokia and Blackberry have responded to Apple’s claim that all phones have the same antenna problem that the iPhone 4 has.
Nokia’s statement:
Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, [...]
iPhone 4EVER… ooops. »
It would appear that Apple, the company known for amazing design, flawless interfaces and blah blah blah has a serious boondoggle on their hands: The iPhone 4 like to drop its signal. How? The antennae that runs down the side of the phone (internally) apparently gets crushed when you hold the phone in a phone call sort of [...]
