AT&T/T-Mobile Merger = Cellphone Soviet?

By Matt Farmer ⋅ March 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

So AT&T is trying to eat T-Mobile. OM NOM NOM. There have been several good articles that have come out over the past few days. Personally, I’m a fan of Ars Technica’s rendition of this particular situation (credit to them for being the inspiration for my title). A lot of people are up in arms [...]

Eighth Grader beats Angry Birds, Android Fragmentation

By Matt Farmer ⋅ January 20, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Good Wednesday to everyone! I found a few tidbits that I wanted to share today that I thought that other people would find interesting today. First off, however, I need to admit that I’ve been doing a horrible job of doing this whole picture-a-day-for-a-year thing (365 Project). I’m way behind. Oops. Perhaps I need to [...]

New Year, New Work

By Matt Farmer ⋅ January 9, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

Well, let me start off by wishing everyone a happy 2011. This is the first blog post of the new year. Since the start of the year I’ve found myself completely apathetic with regard to doing anything remotely related to work of any kind. I can’t explain it but I’ve just felt like being a [...]

Maylong Tablet: Utter Joke

By Matt Farmer ⋅ November 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

So, I stumbled upon a nice little review from ArsTechnica about the Maylong M-150 Android tablet that is being sold at Walgreens. Yeah, Walgreens. Ars wrote a scathing review that inspired a post on the Best Buy blog showing what different things can be done with this tablet. Seriously, read the review. It amazes me [...]

Proprietary App Stores Bode Trouble for Android

By Matt Farmer ⋅ September 30, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

It is rare that I find myself genuinely concerned when I read the tech news. I am quite often bemused, or even annoyed – but rarely concerned. However, today, I am concerned. On TalkAndroid today there’s an article discussing Amazon’s intent to open their own Android App Store. This article also brought it to my attention [...]

Upgrade Schedules, Traveling Guides, and Traffic Jams

By Matt Farmer ⋅ August 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

ADTP: A Distributed Method for Android Testing

By Matt Farmer ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

So, I’m taking a break from reporting on fun things happening in the technology industry to write something of a whitepaper for a cool idea that I had. If you are interested in mobile application development, as I know a few of my readers are – then you will find the contents of the document [...]

Dell’s Streak = Awesome New Android Toy

By Matt Farmer ⋅ July 24, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]

New Android App from Google Finds Parking

By Matt Farmer ⋅ July 11, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]
