Avatar 3D exclusive to Panasonic bad for consumers
I was a buyer for Target Corporation and I know a good business deal when I see it. Panasonic has been able to secure Avatar 3D as an exclusive with their blu-ray hardware. A great idea for Panasonic but a bad outcome for consumers. They will not be able to get their hands on the [...]
Could Google be the best at bringing the internet and TV together?
Google is trying to be the first company to go mainstream in tying the internet and tv together. Others like boxee, etc, etc, have tried but have not gained mainstream acceptance. This could be revolutionary, bigger than the iPad. This could connect the internet with people’s home theaters alonging revolutionary advances in consuming media on HDTVs.
Movie studios looking to raise prices on movie rentals
According to engadget, movie studios are looking to raise prices on movie rentals to $20-$30 per new release when they are purchased online. I have a question for the movie studios, how many customers do you think you will get at that price? That’s fine if you are going to display the movies online and [...]
Best Buy is advertising higher than Regular Prices as Sales
I read a report from engadget today that said Best Buy was putting items in their weekly circular advertising that were higher than regular prices. Why are you surprised?

#1 thing I hate about the Apple iPad and it’s not Flash

I’ve tried out a lot of mobile devices outside in the past few years so that I can enjoy the outdoors while satisfying my appepitie for technology. Until the iPad, I hadn’t found a good solution. Most mobile phones [...]

I’ve had my iPad since launch. I love it. I’ve become a huge iPad brand zealot. Its become an intergral part of my digital life. Its simplicity and excellence in execution have made it a mainstay for my web browsing, emails, book reading and streaming, and even for writing blog posts like this. However, there are still some features that would [...]
Flash and the iPad
I’m going to add my biggest gripes with the new iPad later this week but I wanted to comment on this CNET article about Apple developing a Flash alternative since the lack of flash compatibility on the iPad has been a complaint from some reviewers. Flash does hinder the ability for some videos to play [...]
iPad Review – First Impressions
I was late to the iPhone party and didn’t want to miss this one if this was indeed the real deal. I used a friend’s iphone at a college football game and quickly became a convert since my Windows Mobile phone was so slow and didn’t offer the same quality experience. The iPhone changed my mobile life. Can [...]
