Cell phones + tumors = inconclusive

Depending on your outlook of the world and the current state of technology, you may look at this story as either the glass being haf full or half empty. A decade long study on the connection between cell phone use and brain tumors has proven to be inconclusive. Part of the problem lies in the [...]

Tablet computers abound

I’m finding more tablet computers that are on par with the iPad from a spec sheet point of view, and in some key ways, are actually better. Like this one. This Eken M001 has an SD memory card in addition to USB ports. It can also hold 32 GB of info. I think it might [...]

Twitter your books

If you’ve ever wanted to share with your friends the book you are currently reading, now you can do so instantly with the help of Amazon’s e-reader. They just released an update that will allow users to access Twitter and Facebook. Again, I still want to make sure I can highlight passage for later reference [...]

I got to try an iPad

I was at a Best Buy this past weekend, and I got my first look at an iPad. Best Buy had a wi-fi connection so people could surf the internet. When I first picked it up, I was surprised at the weight of the iPad. It’s surprisingly heavy for how thin it is. When surfing, [...]

The flexible computer

This is one of those things that seems so unnatural it almost make me recoil in horror. There’s a company making a tablet computer that is similar to an e-reader that bends. I don’t know how far you can bend it before it breaks, but the fact that you can bend the thing to begin [...]

Wouldn’t you love to see something like this?

As a lover of dogs and owner of two fairly big dogs, waste management is an issue. And when it comes time to walk them, I feel downright ridiculous carrying a brown bag and scooper waiting for one of them to do some business. I do it, though, to avoid the fine. There are plans, [...]

Internet addiction

I guess humans can become addicted to anything. There’s a new study today that says some teens are showing signs of addiction withdrawal when they disconnected from anything internet related or even cell phones. They only followed them for a day, but that was enough for the test subjects to display anxiety and a general inability to [...]

Going green on the go

With the push to be more environmentally friendly, being resourceful and practical needs to be equal.  I think this laptop bag fills both purposes.  It’s got solar energy cells to run your laptop for five hours.  That way you can save on your laptop battery and use less electricity when plugging it in.  I may [...]

The coming trend

There’s a report that says teen texting has doubled during the last four years. It also says that there are more children who own their own cell phone and that the use of email and landline telephone has decreased slightly.  I have to wonder why people seem to feel that spending money on this type [...]

Broadband internet solutions

There’s a story about small cable companies not receiving money from the government with the intention of bringing broadband to rural areas. Larger companies got the lion’s share of the money. Smaller cable companies are worried about being able to compete for customers.  Here’s what I say about this. I live in a rural area and [...]
