Notebook vs Tablet: Notebooks More Productive

Submitted by Dave Won. on Sun, 07/22/2012

Before you start reading, I am not trying to say that Notebook computers are somehow comparable to the fun of using a Tablet computer because they are not.
What I am simply trying to state is how much work can be done, on the actual devices in question.

Notebooks vs Tablets

There is what I believe is a misconception that Tablet computers can replace a Notebooks or even Desktop computers.
So this article deals with this misconception, and nothing more.

Steve Mann a Professor at University of Toronto was kicked out of a MacDonald’s in Paris France for wearing his cyborg head gear. Steve insists on embarrassing his family in public, which he has been doing now for over 20 years.

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 Review (Video)

Submitted by Dave Won. on Fri, 07/13/2012

The Nokia Lumia 710 was an absolute pleasure to use. After just 5 minutes of using it I was pleasantly surprised how well it responded to the touch screen and the speed at which applications loaded. This phone is priced at $300 currently and costs way too much for what it is. $200 tops would be my suggestion. I have never been a huge fan of Windows but this phone certainly is a mind changer. Anyway enjoy the review by the beautiful Jing.

Are iPhone Owners Retarded?

Submitted by Dave Won on Thu, 07/12/2012

What is it about these neat little iPhone devices that are outdated technology when they hit the stores, that makes people pitch tents in anticipation of getting one?

Android Fragmentation And Tech Tabloid

Submitted by Dave Won. on Thu, 07/12/2012

What Android Fragmentation is referring to is the growing list of Android distributions by different manufacturers. This apparently has tabloid tech news reporters on the CBS range of sites worried, but no one else seems to give a crap.

Submitted by Dave Won. on Mon, 07/09/2012

When it comes to business communications RIM/Blackberry is one most well known makers of smartphones that are utilized all over the globe. Well, that is what I might have said back in 2008. In the last four years, we have seen Blackberry go from one of the leaders in Smartphone communications to almost the Atari of Smartphones. RIM last quarter reported a $518 million quarterly loss, so things are not looking good.

New Lease Of Life For MeeGo OS

Submitted by Mike on Sun, 07/08/2012

The MeeGo Operating System (Linux based) that was installed on the powerful Nokia N9 has been given a new lease of life after ex-Nokia employees decided to join forces and bring MeeGo back into the market. MeeGo was dropped by Nokia this year in favor of Microsoft’s lame Windows Mobile operating system; this mistake by Nokia made many Nokia fans angry and customers who purchased the N9 smartphones were left speechless.
