The product isn’t new. The concept has been around for a while. The need will be around for much longer if we don’t look more closely at it. Power. It’s the one thing that nearly every device, gadget, and piece of equipment in the world needs. We get power from different sources but in most cases the end result is either combustion, electricity, or both. There is no shortage of power potential (between solar, wind, natural gas, and nuclear, potential power is virtually limitless), but there are two things that are preventing us from transcending current power challenges: A reliable and affordable…

With QR readers in our pockets and digital book readers in our bags, it makes sense that something like this would start to pop up. There should no longer be a reason for books to be inaccessible. It’s not like we have to go to the library to find out that the book we wanted was checked out. They’re all available in one form or another online. Here’s a close-up view if you want to try it out and download The Iliad. I tested it out myself – no malware. …

The wait is finally nearly over.

I have tested and tried many social media managing tools and apps and have yet to come across one that has served me as well as I had hoped, so I, like many of you have had to resort to using multiple managing tools for various social networks. *right eye twitching* We like our time, it is as precious as the LOTR’s ring and we do not like it wasted, nor do we want to spend hours trying to remain managing our time just to keep being active and engaging on our social networks, whether it is for work or for play. I bow down to Flipboard, an app that allows you to manage various social networks, read chosen content from…

In a time where everyone is wanting to save a buck, it is unnecessary to pay extra for data overages on your smartphone. So, what exactly causes overages and how do you avoid them? Each data plan is made up with a number of gigabytes that are allowed to be used. One gigabyte is equal to 1024 megabytes which is 1024 kilobytes and that is made up of 1024 bytes. One gigabyte is equal to 29,000 emails, 13.5 albums of music, 150 downloaded apps, and 5,700 pageviews. Like to download movies? An average movie download uses 2 gigabytes while a high-definition movie download uses 4.8 gigabytes. Mobile users in…

Rumors about iPhones are often hit or miss. A technological conspiracy theory going around in the last couple of years is that Apple releases misinformation sometimes to keep the rumor mills flooded. Occasionally, they will show their hand a bit to reveal some credence to some of the rumors. The latest version of this comes in the form of authorization given to Apple retail stores allowing them to price match specials and discounts being offered by carriers and other retailers. Discounts such as Best Buy’s $49.99 iPhone 4 8GB will now be matchable directly from the Apple Store. According to MacRumors:…

Prior to smartphones and tablets, many of us sat quietly on the bus and people watched as we waited for our desired destination to arrive. Nowadays, with the enhancements in technology and mobile devices we are able to watch movies, use various social networks, and check emails while passing time while we travel. Mobile devices are being used everywhere and provide just about everything at our fingertips. With 64% of people using their mobile devices on public transportation, 79% using it when they shop, and 89% while on the go, it would seem that smartphones and tablets are changing the way we…

Ouya is a new video game console powered by the Android platform. Developers of Ouya are seeking an open gaming platform for developers and gamers alike. One of my friends linked me on Facebook to the Ouya Kickstarter campaign one day after it was launched, at which point it had already raised over $1 million. At this point, Ouya has been featured on many top blogs and news outlets. While their pitch hit all the right spots, I have some lingering doubts about Ouya’s ability to make a lasting impact on the gaming industry and I want to share my doubts from the perspective of a console gamer. Ouya’s…
