AT&T’s got 99 (minus 97, but probably more than 99) problems but a b**** ain’t one
Consumer Reports: “In the newest satisfaction survey of Consumer Reports online subscribers, a provider called Consumer Cellular topped the Ratings—and AT&T found itself at the bottom of the Ratings for the second year in a row.” Poor AT&T. It doesn’t look like they’re going to get that big merger with T-Mobile to go through, and […]

Amazon Kindle Fire to hold 50 percent of Android tablet market in 2012, says analysts
According to the analysts at Evercore: “While Amazon’s Kindle Fire has come out of the gates strong, as expected, we see Apple maintaining its competitive lead, if anything accentuated by what now looks like the only tablet to so far mount any credible iPad challenge apparently needing to do so by selling at cost; not […]
What does Carrier IQ know about you?
A few days ago, the tech blogosphere more or less blew up after learning that software company Carrier IQ sent a rather nasty cease-and-desist letter to an XDA developers member. The grounds ? The XDA member in question, Trevor Eckhart, had discovered and exposed Carrier IQ’s tracking software residing in Android handsets. If you have never […]
From the archives: HTC Droid Incredible mini review
This post originally appeared on TheDailyGetUp on June 10, 2010. Google tried to sell the Nexus One through their own website, which seemed a little too ambitious for its time, and it didn’t exactly work out as planned. Verizon later scrapped the Nexus One in favor of another HTC-built Android device. Enter stage left, the HTC Droid […]
The most interesting Android tablet is keeping its identity secret
Android is free. Android is a platform. Anyone can use it. Ever since its genesis in 2007, Google has gone out of its way to drive that point home. That strategy is a good way to — by sheer force — increase marketshare and, by translation, mindshare. So it’s a bit ironic when it looks […]
HP — uh…
The title pretty much explains it all. I’m really not sure what’s going on with HP as a company. I’ve seen them go from a pretty good company to one similar to a giant chicken with its head chopped off. They’re floundering around with little direction and functioning like like a company with their mind on […]
Hey Ouz, do u have any inside scoope about iPhone 5??????

From the archive: Sprint HTC EVO 4G Review
When Sprint announced the HTC EVO 4G back in March, it was apparent that they were coming full guns a blazing to shake up the smartphone market. What better partner than HTC to bring this device to the masses? Everybody and their cousin knows about the EVO. Sprint did well to beat the next iPhone […]
From the archive: The Death of the Courier Broke My Heart, But I’m Still Optimistic
The confirmation that the Microsoft Courier tablet project was scrapped broke my heart, as I’m sure it did for most people. It looked so promising, so refreshing, so… good. While I may be saddened that the product never came to fruition, I’m still optimistic. We were so graciously privileged to actually get leaks of an […]
From the archive: Apple iPad review
The iPad. Called magical, revolutionary, even a game changer, there hasn’t been such a product in recent history that has caused such a polarizing reaction from the general public: anything from utter disgust to orgasmic excitement from the Apple faithful. Around the industry, it is remembered that the original iPod received similar sentiments at launch, […]
I wrote a review on Mac OS X Lion
So I wrote a review on Mac OS X Lion, Apple’s latest operating system. I can’t really condense 2300 words, but, in short, it’s good. While Lion is part of the transition of the current computing metaphors to future ones, it does a pretty good job straddling the two ideas. My conscious introduction to Mac […]

The Dell Venue Pro
I had a set of old Dell Venue Pro photos I took for a review that I was writing. Sadly, that review never saw the light of day, for one reason or another — mainly due to the fact that the phone crapped out on me. And that was the case for a few other […]
Thoughts on advertisement
Recently, I went to go watch a movie with a good friend of mine — it was “Gnomeo and Juliet” and you should see it — and, as usual, we got bombarded with advertisement before the movie started. I saw a Coca Cola ad and I commented saying I wanted a Coke. Now, I wasn’t […]
