Anyone here like Reddit? I do, so I use Baconit!

For those of you that don’t know what Reddit is, please acquaint yourself with the front page of the internet before we can continue.  If you managed to make it back after checking out that link, then I’m impressed.  Reddit is basically a place anyone can post links or media to a web page.  You [...]

Yeah, I’ve been missing. It’s Dragon’s Blade DX for WP7’s fault.

Video games pretty much kick every variety of ass available.  This is just a fact.  The best video games do far more than put the boot to proverbial butt.  They will eat away those tiny minutes of your day you feel like don’t matter until they bleed together into a four to six hour a [...]

Evil ballmer

Ballmer is dishing out 230$ to get people to make some Windows Phones. Also, he should smile more.

Forbes put out this article yesterday, shedding some light on the subsidized cost of software licensing a Windows Phone.  Keep in mind, Microsoft is charging about 20-30$ per phone so this comes in at a whopping 200$.  Now this isn’t an exact science because this obviously can’t include support, marketing, or manufacturing costs of these devices [...]

Was anyone else totally disappointed in CES 2012?

I’ve been watching the yearly Consumer Electronics Show (CES) since I was in middle school.  I remember getting incredible pumped and excited about seeing tons of new technology and prototypes that would be on the cutting edge of every field and every type of electronic device I could imagine, and many that I never could, [...]

Voice command makes me feel like Wilford Brimley.

I don’t know why, or even when I realized it, but I can’t stand voice controls.  In part because of its inherent limitations and also because it just doesn’t work very well for me.  Some people complain about voice controls not understanding colloquial accents and I, hailing from southeastern North Carolina, can totally understand how [...]

Who’s making your next phone?

Handset manufacturers have a great deal to do with your mobile communications experience, especially on Android handsets where these guys are essentially designing your included UI.  We’ve seen a great deal of different handset manufacturers enter the fray but there are a few that stick out as primaries in the growing age of smartphones, while [...]

Go get your mangoes by force!

Sitting around with a proverbial thumb up your ass instead of mangoes?  Yeah, I was too.  This gradual roll out business can be bypassed using a little bit of force.  If you haven’t received your OTA update notification then all you need to do, assuming your phone is actually in an update roll-out (so if [...]

WinPho Doom and Gloom? Not just yet…

I’ve been gone for a while with some personal stuff, mainly trying to find a new job and possibly relocate myself anywhere other than where I am, but today I read some articles that require some additional insight that I just can’t withstand slapping against Simmons’ Android smugness.  I know TheFight already posted some Nokia [...]

Windows Phone hitting ludicrous speed. They’ve gone to plaid!

So after browsing through all this news about the Microsoft event this morning, something interesting hit me and prompted me to do some other research.  There seemed to be a shit ton of features being released that other companies had just recently nailed down into a usable fashion, and some that still kind of suck. [...]

The seedy underbelly of mobile apps.

So last night someone decides to randomly spam my phone by calling and texting me repeatedly at ungodly hours of the night.  This prompts me, being the vindictive dick that I am about my sleep, to sign their phone number up for various spam websites and seek out autodialer software to bug the ever-loving shit [...]
