4g Hoax?
Ok, so I just saw a post about 4G and the progress they’re making. In this post, their speed tests were in the 2-2.5 MBit range. So, I jump on my speedtest app to reveal almost 5MBit on my connection. Misinformation, much?
JoliCloud Linux Distribution
So, I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition a while back and really liked it. Well, there was an upgrade to the Netbook Remix a month or so ago, so I tried it . . . not as great. It was a bit sluggish and the layout didn’t suit me. So, I just heard that the JoliCloud…
Ubuntu Netbook Remix
OK, so I was quite excited to give my wife a nice little happy by way of the HP Mini 1000 computer a few years back. It was small, stylish and would even fit into her purse for her to use at a moment’s notice when she needed to get online. She LOVED it. Windows…
iPhone 4 Review (well, a start)
It only takes 6 months without WiFi on your iPhone to realize what a fantastic feature it is . . . no matter what phone you have! Well, I finally received my iPhone 4 today. I was one of those skip-a-generation-and-let-your-wife-get-the-iPhoneS kind of people. Man, am I glad I waited. For an iPhone 3G user,…

iPhone S
I’d like to say I’m the proud owner of an iPhone S (I really would!), but I took one for the team and got Alison one. She found the Facebook app (of which she will be seeking professional help for) and immediately caught the mania that is iPhone. She was used to a snappy little…
Hulu Steps it up
Again with the Hulu, I know. But it looks like they’re up to something . . . something very cool. They’ve introduced Hulu desktop. I am a huge Netflix streaming fan via Roku, of course, but this is pretty slick. You download a desktop application that opens Hulu and allows you to use a Windows…
How will they survive?
OK, I tried, I really did. I’m in the market for a new hard drive for my laptop. I did my research and came upon the Seagate Momentus Drive. It has stellar reviews, so I skipped on over to Buy.com and grabbed one for $85 . . . not bad at all (320 GB, 7200…
HP Mini 1000
My plan after upgrading my laptop was to let Alison use my old faithful gateway. Well, after minutes (looong minutes) of boot up time, that option fell by the way. I had heard about “Netbooks” becoming really popular for secondary systems and thought she might like one. I searched far and wide and did my…
Netflix: A Force to be Reckoned With
So, I’m a cheapskate (alot of the time anyway!). I do, however, have the $8.95 subscription to Netflix for the occasional episode of Prison Break (thanks to my uncle for tipping me off to yet another addictive show!). So, here I am, getting my 1 DVD at a time and totally fine with it. Well,…
