I got the new iPhone this morning, so I went on a Google Hangout to show it off. I grabbed my previous smartphones to make comparison – the HTC 8125 (my first smartphone), the iPhone 3GS and Nokia Lumia 900 (which I had over the summer). I compare how I used the smartphone then and […]

Our friends at OWC were back at CES showing off the only UL-Listed in-wall solution for powering and recharging USB devices. The OWC Power2U wall outlet is a wall plug that contains two USB plugs. Instead of the USB adapters, you can plug the USB device into the drive. Slide the shutter to the side and […]

They will be idiagnosing you with their iPhones. More than 500 medical students at the University of Leeds are being issued with iPhones which can access online text books. The smartphones have applications providing students with reference material and prescription guidelines. They will have to return the phones when they leave university.
When I was a young ‘un, doctors did not like to let patients know that they were looking stuff up. They were trained that patients expected them to be omniscient. After they finished an exam, they would retreat to their offices, whose doors did not face the exam rooms, and look stuff up in big […]

Apparently there is a new iPhone application out there that lets me monitor my sleep cycle by simply sleeping with the iPhone at the corner of the bed. The application is called Sleep Cycle by Lexware Labs. It is currently a $0.99 app in the iTunes store as an introductory offer. The application is simple: […]
MarketWatch reports that, according to Roel Schouwenberg of Kaspersky Lab Americas, Android and iPhone handsets will be the next target for hackers. Kapersky is a leading manufacturer of anti-virus software. (Full disclosure: I have used Kapersky products for years and found them reliable. I have Kapersky on this Linux box even as I type.) Interestingly, […]
Reuters reports that Dell is working on an Android phone for the U. S. market to be distributed by AT&T. (They credit the Wall Street Journal with breaking the story.) As much as I like Dells–until my son moved out, there were five in the house–Dell cannot woo me to AT&T. I’m very happy with […]
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted a Bitstrips. Today I was inspired. Me and my brother really enjoy going to breakfast every now and then. What was better – there was a restaurant that actually had Wi-Fi access. Therefore, we both would take our laptops and surf while eating. That was two weeks […]
As you might have heard, I made the decicion to get an iPhone. I looked over all the smartphones – especially those with windows mobile on them (I still have a spot for the good old mobile). The one phone I wanted just didn’t seem to be going in the direction of the standard Smartphone. […]
You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…” Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just […]
