TiVo for Your iPhone Okay the title can be a bit misleading. Since most people who hear the news announcements that TiVo is now offering application for the iPhone are going to think that they can view their recorded TV shows on their iPhone. Unfortunately that is not the case we are going to have to wait for Slingbox to finally get that option. But what we do get is the ability to schedule TiVo recordings directly from our iPhone to our device at home.

The has changed the way people are purchasing laptops. Smaller devices had been tried which spawned the entire UMPC market but it wasn't the perfect combination of features. A combination of lower processing power, cheap price and small size was the final solution to a formula. But the time has come to push the netbook genre to the next level and Apple could be in the position to do it. They have the added benefit of a market that is willing to pay a bit more for additional functionality and they also have the technology to bridge the gap between a mobile device and a full mobile Mac.
Your Cable TV is probably one of the most expensive portions of your monthly expenses I know that mine is. But with these tough economic times we are all tightening up the belt as they say and trying to reduce as many expenses as possible. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to watch movies online legally? I know you can find a lot of illegal places to download movies, but honestly I have never had the stomach for risking my personal pennies by using torrents to download movies. Here are some free places to watch movies online.
The biggest failure yet for Apple has been the introduction and the subsequent horrible release of the mobile me email platform. For some reason Apple has yet to give this service the full over haul that it desperately needs. Mobile me promises so much. They offer you full push email, push calendar and online storage. This includes a full photo gallery. The problem is there are so many bugs. Sure some people have not had any issues with the software but that is a very small percentage.
Bittorent is a revolutionary program and protocol and it has really allowed people to trade files and other content like videos faster then before. The problem is the entire process can be slow. This isn't the fault Bittorent. Sometimes it is caused by your ISP filtering Bittorent protocol. Unfortunately there isn't much to do if they are making your Bittorent connection slower intentionally. But the other times it is because the amount of people sharing the file is too low. This is known as having to little seeders for a torrent. Fortunately you can find more seeders for torrents pretty easily.
The prospect of Apple putting out an iPhone Nano or an iPod touch Nano is going to get all of the Geeks as well as the mainstream consumers all hot and bothered.
PlayStation has decided to take the entire social media experiment and really push it to the limit. Where the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 stopped at the simple use of avatars to promote interaction from their users, Sony has decided to introduce the entire gaming community to what is actually a complete rip off of the video game Second Life. Frankly being that this game is completely related to the Second Life experience I sure hope that the PlayStation home experience doesn't become a huge mix of pedophiles and horny college kids. Because we all know that's basically what became of Second Life. Sure I am expecting Sony to try to keep this service as clean as possible to maintain its glossy family image. But it's next to impossible to keep the smut out.
I know that most people arent really lining up to care about this but Google Chrome has finally come out of beta. Now why is that really a big deal? Well thats because it seems like Google never takes anything out of beta. So why are they starting now. Also what is Google"s plan for this browser? I really like potential for spyware protection and security but what else?
Google is continuing to attempt to improve its many productivity applications with features that are commonly found in a desktop equivalent. The most recent improvement in this initiative are the additions of task generation inside of Gmail. The only problem is most users don't know how to turn on the task feature inside of Gmail. I'm not exactly sure why Google didn't enable the feature by default but turning on the task list features is easy and using the new task lists for creating to do items is absolutely wonderful.
Right now huge amount of focus is on how the pending auto industry bailout will affect the automotive industry in the United States. One thing is for sure that the auto industry bailout will have huge implications for the IT industry that supports the big three automakers. This will be one of the first times that the industry will be receiving such large financial to help and along with that amount of public money a number of rather large requirements are being asked of them. These rules for stringent oversight and some actual quantification of results and productivity gains will be some of the key factors driving the increase in IT usage and capital expenditures. In an economy doing as poorly as the one we're currently experiencing this influx of money will greatly help the faltering IT industry.
Everyone is trying to unblock websites like Myspace.com or Facebook.com since so many jobs are blocking those sites. Unfortunately you will find that most jobs and schools will block the latest sites that prevent censorship. One website has begun to use a new method for unblocking websites by hosting a decentralized network that allows multiple people to host nodes that others can use as proxies from inside of their browsers and then get around the censorship that your school or job might be forcing on you.
Probably one of the most asked questions that I get is how you can find a person by name address or phone number. You see the website's advertised all over the Internet but you can still use a number of free website's to find a person online. With a little but of effort you can find out the information that you need. Now you are not always going to find a person on line. The chances of you successfully doing it are mainly based on how much they are on the grid. For example finding your young school teacher or coworker is going to be a much easier prospect then finding your 80 year old grandmother.
You have been on the Internet for a while using the same username. Something unique and you spent hours thinking it up. Then you go on to a website like myspace.com or flickr and you realize that someone else is using it! Man that is so annoying. Don't you just wish there was a way for you to see if your username was being used by any one else? But how? There are hundreds of social sites out there, it would be impossible to check the usernames on all of them. Well not any more, a new web tool allows you to check the usernames of hundreds of sites.
Our friends at Sprint are trying everything they can think of to hold on to what customers that they have.
It has been confirmed that RadioShack is indeed selling the Acer Aspire One for $99. Which is a fantastic deal, but just like any offer that seems too good to be true there is a small caveat to the deal is that you have to sign up for a data contract through AT&T to get the low $99 dollar price. So basically they are offering the same sort of subsidized contract that they would offer when selling a brand-new Blackberry. Now at first you might think that this is a groundbreaking sale but in actuality it makes a lot of sense. A brand-new Blackberry will cost you approximately $500 without a contract. That's right over $500 for just a Blackberry phone. The lower cost that you are used to seeing it because you are forced to sign a two-year contract with the mobile provider. This is basically the same deal.
The Jitterbug cellphone created by Samsung is a great gift idea for your favorite senior. The phone can really provide your grandmother with a sense of freedom and without the embarrassment of carrying a medical alert device. The Jitterbug is not going to wow you with any high-tech features but it will provide a simple design that even the most technology ignorant grandmother can easily handle. If wanted the Jitterbug cell phone can even handle text messages. The Jitterbug comes in two different choices of phone.
If you want a budget GPS system for your car than the Garmin nuvi 200 is definitely a decent buy and you do get your moneys worth out of the device. You get an affordable device with a name that you can trust like Garmin and you still receive the same basic quality provided by the Garmin GPS turn by turn instructions software. Don't expect to get many of the same bells and whistles that you may find in some of the higher models but if you are looking for a reliable way to get from point A to point B the Garmin nuvi 200 is worth the price.
