Back From Vegas

Posted on by

It’s Wednesday morning and I’m back to work. I’ve not had a full work week since mid-December, and still won’t until the end of this month. That says something, considering we are on a 4/10 schedule. It’ll be odd when things finally get back to normal.

For the past week, I’ve been in Las Vegas, NV helping OverclockersClub.com cover the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. If you have not seen OCC’s coverage, the guys did a heck of a job covering things related to the PC enthusiast market. I say the guys did a heck of a job, because truthfully I did very little by comparison. Sure, I was there to talk to people, and help out as needed but the pictures, writing, and hard work was pretty well covered by the other staff and not me. I feel bad for not doing as much work as the rest of the gang, but I did warn them ahead of time that I had neither a laptop nor a decent digital camera and yet somehow I was still asked to come.  Continue reading →

Will Opera Come To The iPhone?

Posted on by

We already know that there is an iPhone SDK in the works, and Apple plans to have it available for developers next month. And there is a pretty good chance that we’ll see something about it this week, if not today during Steve Job’s MacWorld 2008 keynote.

My question is, once the SDK is available will we see an Opera browser on the iPhone? I’ve not had any problems surfing with my iPhone, aside from the occasional “safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding” error message. If my experience is already good, could it get better? Continue reading →

Internet Radio On The iPhone?

Posted on by

Apparently a new service was announced at CES today called FlyTunes. The service will be released on January 21, 2008 and will bring internet radio the the iPhone and iPod Touch. I wonder how well internet radio will work over AT&T’s edge network.

The service will be free, but ad-supported. And apparently you’ll have to download the app from FlyTunes.fm. Hmm. Hacked iPhones then? Or will the next update allow 3rd party apps?

New GE Phone Features 1-800-GOOG-411 Button

Posted on by

I’ve mentioned before how I’ve been impressed with Google’s free 411 service, 1-800-GOOG-411. It’s never let me down when I’ve used it from my cell phone, unlike AT&T’s (the old Cingular) 411 service which never worked for me. Matter of fact, I’ve got GOOG-411 on speed dial (not that I use it that often).  However for some reason, I’ve never thought about using the service from home, probably because I have access to a phone book and the internet.

That could very well be changing now thanks to GE. GE’s latest DECT 6.0 phones feature a built in GOOG-411 button. If I hadn’t had the wort luck with GE brand anything (especially phones) I might think this is pretty fraking sweet.
