Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. Electonic Textbooks - The pros and cons. Last week, Apple announced it will be adding textbooks to iTunes. I’m of two minds on it. I think the education world and their economic concerns, and the backs of overburdened students are really ready for something like this. But, there are also questions that haven't been answered. Here are some things to consider:. Will Apple make this feature available only to iPad users?

Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. Still waiting on Microsoft's response. In the console wars, Sony has clearly drawn first blood with their announcement of the Playstation 4 console and its subsequent coming-out (sort of) party. Following this first strike, everyone waited for Microsoft's return volley. So far, all we've heard is crickets. Why I'm not so sure about the Playstation 4. And, lets face it, some of the features they listed may not survive to...

Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. IOS upgrades SERIOUSLY not going as planned. Is it wrong for me to snicker a little when I read about the recent iOS 5 upgrade failures? Maybe But, only a little wrong. According to this article in the. I have a BlackBerry. I love my BlackBerry (as I've said repeatedly). Never has my BlackBerry quit on me or worse during an upgrade. My BlackBerry is a rock. Netflix changes direction.again.

Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. Is your tech job killing you? Even if you love your job, if you're sitting at a desk all the time, it turns out that your job may be slowly killing you. The Washington Post put out an article in their Health and Wellness section titled Desk jobs can be killers, literally. A couple of weeks ago. So, here are some suggestions:. If you have your Kuerig next to your computer, move it immediately. If you work in a cubicle fa...

Gear Box Theory: 5 reasons why I'd be more excited about a Google watch
http://gearboxtheory.blogspot.com/2013/05/5-reasons-why-id-be-more-excited-about.html
Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. 5 reasons why I'd be more excited about a Google watch. I think I'm not alone in my apathy toward the media coverage of Google Glass released in the wild to select "lucky" individuals. Personally, I have never once wondered how I could get my own hands on Google Glass. If offered a pair to try out, most likely, I'd politely turn them down. Glasses are dorky, but a watch is a fashion statement. During a recent episode of.

Gear Box Theory: The digital media conundrum
http://gearboxtheory.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-digital-media-conundrum.html
Commentary on techie gear, gaming, and anything else that can be thrown into the box. The digital media conundrum. How many times have we heard from tech pundits that physical media like CDs, DVDs, game discs, and books will soon be a thing of the past, all replaced by downloadable content? And yet, people continue to purchase all of the above in defiance of these predictions. Are we just old-fashioned? Are we afraid of the future? In our house, we don't have cable. We cut that cord a couple of years...

Toasted Filberts: August 2011

Just saying what you were already thinking. Saturday, August 27, 2011. Woes of a Saturday shopper. I've decided today that I would rather have a pin shoved into my eye than shop on Saturday afternoon. There is something about donuts on Saturday and Sunday morning that inspires people to unusual heights of selfishness. I can't tell you how many times I've been elbowed out of the way by seemingly kind senior citizens, when all I want is one apricot danish. Today, I was cut off in the parking lot twice....
