Before I got home my friends at Full Sail had already posted the above video. I love what they wrote too: “It’s no secret that we’re all gadget geeks at Full Sail University so when EMDTMS Course Director Joe Bustillos brought in this jewel, the iPad 3g, which doesn’t even launch at stores until 5 [...]
ePad – Rockin’ It Like It’s 1987
March 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment
You know you have something going right when the spoofs are spectacular… Then we have this dream sequence/history of Apple’s computer designs. Beautifully done, but I don’t see how they could have left out the evolution of the iMac or iPod, except maybe they couldn’t get the curves of their virtual rendition to look right…
Apple iPad Announced: Oh My God, It Doesn’t Have a Rubber Baby Buggy Bumper!

I love CNET. It’s one tech news source where I can find everything from straight tech journalism to flawed editorials on the latest things happening in the tech world. Take the overhyped announcement of the iPad a little bit ago, CNET provided the following excellent straight news reporting on the event:
Form Factor: 8×11

Nope, this isn’t about grading assignments while drinking beer, though that practice clearly deserves a blog entry/study of it’s own. This one is about a unexpected discovery I made last Sunday when I needed to get away from my domicile and plant myself at a local pub to watch a day of NFL goodness. Of [...]
Time Inc. Media Pad… Hints on Apple Tablet
December 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment
In case you haven’t noticed, this is the year of the media pad/e-reader. And no, Mr. Ballmer, we don’t want to read/interact with our media on a big fat (hot!) laptop or, God forbid, desktop computer. We want something small (w/ a big screen), sexy and fast! Is this Time Inc. Pad the unicorn/Apple Tablet? [...]
Verizon’s DROID Carpet Bombs the US
November 25, 2009 By 1 Comment
Continuing the WTF school of advertising, one of Verizon’s DROID commercials “features” incoming payloads reminiscent of the bombs flying in from the 80s movie “The Day After.” I guess they didn’t get the memo that people like little techy things with lights and smiley faces, but don’t like robots with threatening voices delivered by high-velocity [...]
RollTop Laptop – Answering Yesterday’s Laptop Design Shortcomings
November 1, 2009 By Leave a Comment
What could we do if we had flexible display materials? As advanced as the tech seems, it still might not fly because the rolled up size still seem too big when one thinks about how small and thin and light-weight the Apple Macbook Air, the Sony Vaio X- and P-series and the various netbooks already [...]
Shaking Hands with EcceRobot

Seminal Sci-fi author William Gibson retweeted the link to the following video and the comments of @twiliteminotaur: “Creepy-cool in that old Gigerian sense of cyberpunk. Terminator’s in the anatomical details.” Fellow fan and skeptic of all things robotic, Lisa Smith, wondered why they’d go to such lengths to make the robot so human-like in function [...]
Damn You, HD Nation!

Several months ago I was contemplating simplifying my home-theater thing by drafting my Nintendo Wii to take care of media server details. Only a couple problems with this plan: 1) No DVD support, 2) low-resolution screen, 3) No native iTunes support. Yeah. Not so great. Not being able to just play a DVD was bad [...]
