Good Tuesday to all of you. I’m back again with a news roundup for today. Overall it’s a pretty interesting day, so if you’re interesting in seeing what I’ve compiled, read on!

Upgrade Schedules, Traveling Guides, and Traffic Jams

So, this blog post is going to be going out a little bit later than I had intended, but I had a little bit of a crazy day – what with having to take my car into the shop. Anyway, it’s time for me to give a little roundup of interesting news items that I [...]

A Modern Keyboard-Computer?

So in today OMGAWESOME category, we have the first keyboard-computer…. or at least the first modern one frankensteined together from a Macbook Air. Bart Reardon, the organizer of this little project to salvage a busted Macbook Air, seems to have made some pretty cool progress. For anyone that’s interested in his hackery (yes, that’s a [...]

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

Th technology relies on Terahertz. Quite frankly, I’m in over my head in this area, but [...]

New Android App from Google Finds Parking

Deep from the inner sanctum of Google Labs comes a brand new gem called Open Spot. I can’t speak for your place of residence, but trying to navigate downtown Athens is a nightmare most of the time. There’s not enough parking for everyone on the street, and no one really wants to pay for the [...]

Intel’s Energy Efficiency Tools

So, I don’t know about you, but I’m quite tired of hearing about Apple’s various technological woes in the new. So it was good to hear something fresh from Wired this evening. It seems that the Intel Lab is venturing outside their niche in microchips to venture into the world of Energy Management Consoles and [...]
