Firefox Home Launches in the App Store

Firefox just launched a neat little app called Firefox Home. It allows you to access your bookmarks, tabs, and history from your desktop on your mobile device. I tried it out, and it works perfectly. In order to use it, you need to first install the Firefox Sync extension on your desktop machines and make [...]

Senators Question FCC’s Nationwide Broadband Plan

Pretty interesting little read here from Ars Technica. So, the FCC wants 4mbps broadband to be available nationwide by 2020 and have 100 million homes subscribed to 100mbps broadband. However, senators like Daniel Inouye (D-HI), Mark Begich (D-AK), and Byron Dorgan (D-ND) are wondering why the FCC isn’t being more ambitious with the plan’s minimum [...]

Apple vs. Flash (and Nokia and Opera)

Nokia and Opera, a cell phone producer and internet browser company, respectively, have publicly stated support for Adobe’s Flash software. Adobe and Flash have gotten into a heated spat through the media concerning Adobe’s Flash software.

The iLoo

Before I start, I just want to say that I love the technological age we have going right now. All the great devices and services for connecting to people and information is wonderful. That being said, I do have think that people need to remember that it’s ok to be away from the internet for [...]

The next big thing in TV

Is probably going to be the next big thing in internet use. Google unveiled Google TV, software that will integrated into certain TVs as well as some satellite TV companies. They’re calling it “smart TV.” This will help people surf the internet, especially if they can’t get really fast internet access. This should be an interesting development to watch when the [...]

Baby’s first iPad

Some genius over at MSNBC decided to publicly list the best iPad apps for babies and toddlers. Are you NUTS? You’re going to spend $500 on an iPad and then give the thing to your flipping kid? Let me be brutally honest here. Kids do not take of their toys. They just don’t have the [...]

Internet addiction

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 [...]

Apps, Apps, Everywhere

As Apple continues to push both the iPad and iPhone with more and more apps, the Android is starting to bridge the gap slightly with its own app store. The Android now boasts 38,000 different apps right now and is on pace to have 100,000 by year’s end. The Apple store already 100,000, so it appears at [...]

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 [...]

Some iPads will ship late
