The implications of findings about Verizon data usage
So, Gizmodo had an interesting post a few days ago that discussed how Verizon smartphone users use more data than AT&T’s smartphone users. At the time I saw this, I was buried in studying for a final exam that I took yesterday, and I’ve been spending a significant portion of my time that would otherwise be [...]
Apple’s Magic… Trackpad?
So, I usually applaud companies that try to set the curve for new user input standards, and such innovations are usually met with an “ooh ahh” by me… but to be honest – I don’t really know what to make of this: I mean, it’s kind of cool looking… I guess… but the “buy this [...]
Legal Opinions to the tune of LeAnn Rimes
So, Google was kind enough to highlight this in their blog yesterday, and I feel that it is my duty as a citizen of the interwebs/series of tubes to repost this here, because I’m willing to bet that most of my readers don’t read the Google Blog. Anyway, back in 2001 LeAnn Rimes sued Curb [...]
Library of Congress rules jailbreaking legal
Do you know what the Library of Congress did for you today? Ruled that jailbreaking an iPhone was not a violation of copyright as Apple has been claiming: The Library of Congress, which has the power to define exceptions to an important copyright law, said on Monday that it was legal to bypass a phone’s [...]
Google, Microsoft, and Uncle Sam’s Inbox
So I don’t know about anyone else, but I was kind of creeped out when I ran across this news story from the WSJ last night. It talks about how Microsoft and Google are bidding for contracts to run email services for different Federal Organizations on their respective clouds. Currently, most large organizations maintain specific [...]
Dell’s Streak = Awesome New Android Toy
Yes! I’m alive! I survived my exam and caught up on everything at work, so here I am again blogging. And boy do I have something to blog about. I was reading Talkandroid.com this morning (while drinking my coffee of course) and came across this little gem: Allow me to be the first to introduce [...]
Linkbait for July 19th
It should be noticed that today is the day I stopped reading John Gruber’s Daring Fireball. Listening to the guy on the top of a soapbox gets old after awhile. Especially when he bashes Android without knowing what he’s talking about. So, unsubscribe. Anyway, this week I’m preoccupied with a project and an exam, among other things [...]
Need Help with OAuth
So, over the past few weeks a pet project of mine has been an Android app for the growing website, Formspring.me. Granted, I have no interest in this site at all – I just thought their API looked easy to grind my teeth on. Regardless, when I start a project, I hate to leave it [...]
OldSpice wins at Social Media
BusinessWeek had an excllent article today talking about how OldSpice successfully leveraged social media to completely re-engineer their company’s image. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is a play that business classes are going to be talking about for years to come. I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve never even remotely considered [...]
To John Gruber: Grow Up
What I can only imagine being a response to continued criticisms over Apple following their press conference yesterday, John Gruber (a popular Technology and Mac blogger, for those not in the know) has been spewing some Android, Nokia, and Blackberry hate on his blog, Daring Fireball, this morning. His first post of interest at 5:28AM this morning [...]
