So, I was pretty excited about the release of the BlackBerry Storm last week. A touchscreen BlackBerry seems like something to get excited about. I saw the commercials, read what other bloggers and tech pundits were saying, and actually became somewhat giddy about this gadget. Well, I came to find out this weekend what the [...]

So, I have recently suffered the loss of two, count ‘em, two MP3 players this week. Very annoying. So, needless to say I am on the look out for the next greatest MP3 player. It wouldn’t be that urgent of a need if I weren’t going to school. While I’m walking around campus I need [...]

So, I’ve become somewhat addicted with technology in the last 6 years or so, but much more so in the last couple of years. What I have realized, is that I feel like I have not learned that much about programming in this time and I am feeling rather behind.

They are saying the the leading cause of accidents now-a-days is texting or messing with some piece of tech (GPS inluded) while driving.

Just reading over at CNN Money that the G1 (Google’s first Android operating system based phone) is 10% cheaper to make than the untouchable iPhone according to “iSuppli research group.” The G1 costs around $144 worth of materials while the iPhone costs around $160. Mind you these costs do not include things such as software [...]

I understand that this news is somewhat old. Old in tech terms meaning about 5 days (actually that’s acient).
Anyways, aparently Obama and McCain’s campaign computers were hacked during the summer. Obama’s campaign noticed that something was running “slower than usual” but they thought that it was a virus or malware. It seems that instead a bunch [...]

Just reading some AP top technology news and revisited Honda’s robot that can help people walk. Supposedly Honda has designed it to help people that walk a lot, squat a lot, or stay on their feet for long periods of time. Honda says that this will help out workers in car manufacturing plants by giving [...]

The FCC passed a bill to allow “white spaces” to be used for a free wireless Internet service using WiMax with Google taking the lead.
