HTC Evo
2011-01-03 22:52:00
I got an HTC Evo the beginning of September giving me about 4 months to give a good review on this phone. The Evo isn't my first Android phone. It replaced my Samsung Moment which was a very good phone for me. Transitioning from a phone with a physical keyboard to one without gave me a few moments hesitation but I made the upgrade after convincing myself that the added features were worth it - I wasn't disappointed. A disclaimer to this review is that I have my phone rooted with a custom rom (Myn Warm 2.2 RLS4). My experience may differ from someone with a stock Evo.ScreenThe screen size and quality is great. Most comments I have seen regarding the screen are related to how it's too big and is bulky to cary. I have large hands so that might prejudice my fondness of the screen size but I love having such a big screen. I can do most things on my phone that I would have used my computer for when it comes to entertainment and browsing the internet. With the built in kickstand, movie ...

iPod Nano 6th Gen = WIN
2011-01-03 05:57:00
I had typed a comment on a message board to a bunch of people trashing the new iPod Nano (6th generation) but when I hit post they wanted me to sign up for an account so I said "screw it. I'll post it on my blog." Here goes.All the people who are hating on the new Nano must either be old or just need to dump on everything. I just got one a few days ago (I also own an iPod Touch) and I love it.1. It's a lot lighter than the Touch and it clips on to my clothes and as soon as I get the watch band I ordered it will be secured to my wrist. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I much prefer to have the Nano on me than the Touch.2. The voice memo feature. If you have a headset with a mic or one of those small mics that just plug in (like $2 on ebay) then you can use the Nano to record lectures, spy on someone, make a note for yourself of a good idea etc.3. It's really not hard to use. I have large hands (I can palm a basketball) and find no problem using it or reading the display.I don't ...

Android - Samsung Moment redux
2010-06-22 03:18:00
After a week with Android on my Samsung Moment , I have to recant some of the complaints in my earlier post. Android is a very customizable operating system that I have been able to customize through apps to do what I want/need the phone for. I had an issue with the Moment not having a notification light to alert of text messages and emails. A program called FlashNotify solved this by flashing the screen every ten seconds. Another issue was battery life. When I first got the phone it would barely go 6 or seven hours with minimal use between battery charges. I download Task Manager by Apollo and today after 9 hours some texting and a little talking, the battery is at about 70%. The keyboard took some getting used to but I am starting to like the size of it and the fact that it has dedicated number keys. On the topic of text entry, let me just say - Swype is amazing. I was able to get the beta package and I love this invention. I never use the built in software keyboard because the har...

Swapping: WebOS for Android
2010-06-17 20:18:00
After owning a Palm Pre for almost a year and having it replaced three times, I decided to give an Android phone a try. I had considered getting an HTC Evo when it came out but decided to wait for a few reasons:1. There have been a few reports of the top glass separating from the Evo screens. I am going to wait a few months to make sure there aren't any other manufacturing glitches that need to be worked out. The Pre had several problems at release and it was a pain dealing with them.2. 4G isn't available in my area yet but supposedly will be in the next couple of months. Currently Sprint is charging a $10/month premium for 4G on the Evo regardless of whether you live in a coverage area or not. I'll save my $10/month until it's out in this area.3. There are still rumors flying around that the iPhone may have a CDMA release towards the end of this year. If that is the case, I will gladly drop all of these phones and go with Apple.I was able to find a Samsung Moment for a reasonab...

White Collar is back! - Hard Sell
2010-01-22 08:57:00
White Collar, (USA Network) is back and this episode is as good as all the others. Before the winter hiatus we were left wondering about which side Peter was on. The last scene we saw was Kate meeting with Peter in a hotel room. Peter was wearing the same ring that was on the hand in the photo of Kate.The episode centers on a group of stock brokers who are falsely driving up the price of stocks by getting lots of people to invest in them and then selling out their own holdings just before everyone else realized that it was a sham. Neil is tasked to break into the group by posing as a stock broker looking for a job. Of course in Neil fashion he nails the interview, a hard sell to Peter on a redirected phone call, and starts making connections.While discussing the case at Peter's, Neil goes upstairs to use the bathroom and discovers a picture with Peter wearing the ring assumed to be worn by Kate's captor. He confronts Peter and Elizabeth where they explain that it's a 10 year ring...

Project Runway Season 7 Ep2
2010-01-22 07:13:00
All That Burlap"She's so beautiful she would look good in a burlap sack" is the premise of this week's challenge. The designers were driven out to a farm to meet the models and "shop" for their materials. Models doubled as clients for the challenge and also were allowed to choose their designer. Mila was left for last by the models and had a little hissy fit about it wondering in her confessional "am I chopped liver?" Good grief - someone has to be last. It doesn't mean everyone hates you.Only fifteen minutes were allowed to confer with the models and shop for materials from the bins in the farmers field. The contestants then headed back to the workshop to begin working on the outfits. Tim came to check on the progress and gave Jesus a slight verbal lashing for "skirting the challenge". Jesus' garment was a burlap skirt entirely covered with ribbons: hardly innovative. Ping continues to be eccentric but this week she is actually using her mannequin.During the fitting Mila contin...

WebOS Patch - Name Launcher Pages
2010-01-18 23:19:00
I have been using the Palm Pre for about 6 months now and for the most part I really like it. I have been very tempted to switch to an Android phone but what I'll probably do is just wait till the prices come down on a Nexus One and buy one to mess around with.WebOS works ok out of the box but it really kicks ass once you start to customize it through patches. The easiest way to load patches is to install Preware through WebOS Quick Install. Once Preware is loaded you can install patches OTA on the Pre or Pixi. I was excited last night when I discovered a patch that I had wished for when I first got my Pre. The patch allows you to label each launcher page and navigate to each page through a drop down menu without swiping.As you can see I have 7 launcher pages denoted by the small vertical lines in the bottom right corner. There is a label at the top of the launcher page that says "Main". This is the label for my first launcher page filled with the items I use the most. I also have ...

Project Runway Season 7 Ep1
2010-01-18 09:22:00
I love to watch cooking shows and Project Runway and I'm straight (sue me), so I was happy to see that another season of PR was already on the air. Season 7 will have all the drama of the previous season if not more. We have a contestant, Janeane, who has cried about 10 times already in the first episode; the producers love her guaranteed. The cast is varied 8 men and 8 women of several ethnicities. A couple of characters seem the same as contestants from last season, Mila (Louise), Ping (Malvin), Janeane (Christopher). Some of them look the same while others fill the same character roll as previous seasons contestants. I have to just take a side note to say that Heidi Klum is looking HOT HOT HOT and is currently pregnant in this season. Moving on.The challenge was to grab a bunch of various fabrics laying around Central Park and then sort through those to fit whatever you really wanted into your bag. Contestants then had to make a look that best represented them. Most designers se...

Fox's 24 Season 8 Premiere
2010-01-18 09:14:00
There isn't a whole lot to say about the 24 premiere. It was standard Jack Bauer saving the world while being misunderstood and impeded by red tape. This season starts with Jack about to leave NYC with Kim, her husband and their daughter to go back to live in LA. His packing is interupted when an old informant comes to him for help. The man has been shot by members of the seasons terrorist group and says he has information about the plot.There are the usual demands for immunity in exchange for information, moles in organizations, bad guys holding innocent people hostage in exchange for help with their plot - nothing too new.I am sure I'll catch the rest of the season but most likely on Hulu. I don't really feel compelled to watch something I can fairly easily predict and be bound to 9 o'clock on Monday nights. Reading a good book at that time is probably a better use of my time.Hopefully this is the last season of 24. While the show has been pretty good throughout, it's getting...

Fox's Human Target "Preview Event"
2010-01-18 08:55:00
When I first saw a preview for Fox's new series Human Target I was excited to see it. After seeing a couple of other previews, I started to wonder if it was going to be any good. Since the 24 2 hour premiere was directly after Human Target's hour I decided to just have an evening of TV premieres. Human Target stars Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) a body guard with a knack for blending in to draw out the would be assassins. His business manager Winston (Chi McBride) is a rather no-nonsense type of guy who doesn't seem to like people going off book or being too unpredictable. Thrown into the mix and apparently come to stay is Guerrero (Jack Earle Haley) a hacker, informant type who Winston has a strong dislike for. Each episode is a new client Christopher has to protect by assuming a different role.The preview episode has the group protecting a high level employee of a train company who was desiring protection after her mechanic found a unexploded bomb in her car.

Smoke Free Movies
2010-01-12 02:03:00
The anti-smoking advocates have really lost it. The NY Times published an article about anti smoking ads being run in retaliation for all the "free tobacco advertising" that James Cameron's latest movie Avatar provided through Sigourney Weaver's character. An organization called Smoke Free Movies is paying for the ads with money from a 1998 lawsuit against the tobacco industry.America is turning into a bunch of fucking retarded morons. We can't have smoking in movies now? What about all the movies with excessive drinking or drug use? Or how about murder? I find it an odd paradox that liberals in America claim to want tolerance but they are so intolerant toward their little pet issues. NEWS FLASH - No one is completely tolerant unless they are completely apathetic!The whole smoking thing really pisses me off because everyone knows it is bad for their health; however, illicit sex for example, is also hazardous to your health but loads of movies promote screwing around and no one bu...

Hand-Rolled - 3 Minute short script
2009-11-28 21:15:00
With the holidays around the corner, I've been doing a lot of thinking. I decided to write it all down in a script format with a free program called Celtx. This is my first script and I don't know if I did everything right so be forgiving.It's a PDF so you'll have to download it here. It's rated R for language and smoking.

Verizon vs The World
2009-11-27 06:39:00
It appears that Verizon is taking on the major US cell carriers one at a time. First it was the 3G coverage maps debacle with ATT. ATT complained that the ads were misleading because many viewers took the maps to be overall coverage when they in fact cover most of the US with 2G Edge. ATT was shut down in the effort to stop the commercials because the maps are true and the court didn't deem Verizon to be purposefully misleading viewers.Now Verizon has set its sights on Sprint for claiming to be "America's most dependable 3G network.". The National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus asked Sprint to stop using this slogan because a Nielsen study claims that Sprint users have a higher percentage of dropped calls than Verizon customers.Here's the rub - the Nielsen study should be thrown out unless phones in the study were forced to only use 3G for the calls made. Both Verizon and Sprint only cover certain areas of the country with 1X which Verizon probably...

Giving up on the Pre - WebOS 1.3.1
2009-11-23 08:13:00
I updated to WebOS 1.3.1 last week for my Palm Pre and have been experiencing several issues. First of all and most annoying are the random resets where the phone shuts off and takes 2 minutes to start back up. Secondly the phone is a lot slower opening apps and scrolling through pages on the launcher.On the plus side you can now forward texts without having to apply a patch - Whoo hoo! Not really worth the resets and slowdown. I like to take care of my phones especially when they are as poorly constructed as the Pre; however, the snap on cases are ok but if you have to take them off to pull out the battery and reset the phone (which I have had to do several times after the update), then the tabs that hold the case on will break and there goes $30.I am seriously considering going back to the original Samsung Instinct for a few weeks to see if I can make the adjustment back after having a true smart phone for several months now. I am starting to come to the conclusion that I should j...

Droid Reports - "It's All Good"
2009-11-08 03:01:00
I have been keeping up with the reports and reviews that have been coming in since the big Verizon Droid release yesterday. So far the results are positive. A friend of mine bought the Motorola Droid and he is thrilled with it. He said it's "Blazing Fast" and "Ridiculously Customizable". I am slightly disappointed that Moto Droid docking station doesn't not pull any A/V data through the USB port. That's kind a fail in my book but it has so many other plusses that I will have to consider it.I like to be able to put silicone skins on my phone and have never liked the cases available for slider phones. After having the Pre for 4 months and then using my friends iPhone the other day, I don't think I really need a physical keyboard. I can type just as well or probably better on the virtual keyboard so I am going to be keeping a close eye on the HTC Droid Eris. My Verizon contract is up in March 2010 so that will give me time to consider dumping Sprint and keep reading reviews.Moto Dr...

DoubleTwist - an iTunes Alternative
2009-10-31 03:18:00
With Apple relentlessly breaking the iTunes syncing with the Palm Pre and having no support for any other devices, I have been looking for an alternative when the day comes that Palm decides to give up the battle; or when I switch to an Android phone. doubleTwist is a free program available to sync music, photos and videos with media devices.doubleTwist requires you to sign up for an account (free) which I found kind of annoying but not really a big deal. The latest version now has a built-in music store through Amazon.com to acquire new tunes. Also in the new version is the ability to copy playlists from iTunes and sync them to your device.I can't really say that the program is a polished as iTunes but it's pretty decent especially considering the fact that it is free. I hope Google buys the program and makes the Android integration perfect with doubleTwist the inclusion of their app store.

WebOS or Android? A Palm Pre tale
2009-10-23 02:49:00
I haven't posted in while for several reasons but hopefully I'll get back into the swing of regular writing. Most of my post before my blogging hiatus were related to cell phones: specifically the Palm Pre. After now owning the Pre for about 3 months I have somethings to report.I think a big point of note is that I am on my third Pre. My first Pre developed a crack around the charging port identical to the one pictured (not sure if you can see it in the picture).I also had a fairly severe "oreo" twist on the slider keyboard when closed and several dead pixels on the screen. I took the phone to a Sprint store to get a new battery to fix the random shut downs (the phone also had a problem where sometimes if you slid it shut, it would turn off completely). I told them about the "cosmetic" defects which they didn't even bother writing on the support ticket. They did give me a new battery which fixed the problem and told me that in the event that the problem continued, to wedge a some...

iPhone vs Palm Pre | 5 Major Points
2009-07-15 06:52:00
After using an iPhone for a while and now having a Palm Pre I feel like I have narrowed down the biggest deciding factors between whether you should get the iPhone or Pre.1. Do you need a physical keyboard? I like having it but I hope they add the option of a virtual keyboard on the Pre.2. How app crazy are you? The iTunes store has a gajillion apps to the pre's current 30; however, there are many duplicate apps and completely idiotic apps for the iPhone. I am doing fine with the current app store for the Pre.3. How much is the plan price point a factor? I have the simply everything plan for $99/mo. The equivalent plan with Att would be about $160 (and does not include TV. Not that I ever watch it). Coverage is probably going to be better with sprint because with the everything plans, you roam on Verizon's towers. I actually have better service at my home with sprints towers than I did back with vzw.4. Do you care about style? The iPhone certainly is more stylish but it is also he...

2 Weeks with the Palm Pre
2009-07-08 07:57:00
After using my Palm Pre for 2 weeks now I have a lot better feel for the devices capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. My 2 biggest complaints initially were design quality and battery life.- Design -I still feel the design quality could have been a little better but comparing it to the iPhone isn't a fare comparison since the iPhone doesn't have a sliding keyboard. The slider has become a little looser with all the opening and closing which is nice because it's not so stiff anymore. I am really not worried about the slider falling apart but if it does I would expect it to happen within the one year warranty so I'm not concerned.- Battery -There are tips all over the internet on how to optimize the battery life on the Pre. Basically they involve turning off all background processes like location services and IM and using WiFi whenever possible. I have been able to go through about 8 hours without too much difficulty if I am on WiFi.Many people are dogging Palm about the batter...

Farewell Samsung Instinct S30
2009-06-24 23:07:00
I finally sold my 2 month old Samsung Instinct S30 because I got the Palm Pre and don't need the Instinct anymore. This has been my favorite phone to date (and I have owned a lot of different phones). For anyone who doesn't know, here is a rundown of some it the Instinct's features.Phone features:- Touch screen- Favorites screen - gives you instant access to your favorite programs or TV/Radio station. It even lets you set a contact for text messaging; you just click the button and start typing the text message. (I wish the Pre had a favorites screen. It is genius)- App store - Download games, wall paper etc.- GPS - The turn-by-turn GPS is great! It give you a trip overview with voice navigation and traffic status.- Music/Video Player - Upload you favorite music and videos to the removable memory card.- Sprint TV - Watch live TV including NASCAR races and NFL games. You can also watch shows on demand.- Sprint Radio - Listen to a variety of radio stations from different genres thro...

Palm Pre - My Review
2009-06-24 06:06:00
I have had the Samsung Instinct for about two months and really loved the phone other than the fact the it had a resistive touch screen instead of the capacitive touch technology that the iPhone and now the Palm Pre sport. When I first heard reports about the Pre it was supposed to have a resistive screen like the Instinct so I didn't pay any attention to it. Last week I happened to read an article that mentioned the phones capacitive touch screen. I did a double take and thought "what the hell?" After writing a post about the impossibility of an iPhone killer without a capacitive multi-touch screen, I had to check out the Pre.In the following days I read many articles and watched several videos on youtube. I then went and waited for 45 minutes at my local Sprint store to check out one of the representatives Pre (someone broke the stores demo). After using the phone for a few minutes I knew I had to have one and searched craigslist for a good deal. I ended up getting one from a guy...

TV | FM Jammer
2009-06-21 00:15:00
- Disclaimer -The following description can be illegal depending on how you use the device. I am not responsible for any trouble you may get in from improper use etc.It's always fun to play jokes on people and considering how much people watch TV these days and listen to radio or iPods connected to the radio, a TV/Radio jammer is a great prank. I had tried to make a jammer when I was younger without much luck. The circuit was very unstable and very discouraging. I have since come across two jammers that both work excellently.Here is the link to the jammer I show in this post. This is the download link for the other jammer plans that uses one IC and a variable capacitor. Both perform about the same except the IC one uses a lot less parts and is easier to construct. I decided to make the more complex jammer to see if it has any benefits over the IC version. The only benefit I can determine is that if I ever wanted to turn this jammer into and emergency transmitter, it wouldn't be al...

Wii Remote on Mac or PC - DIY Sensor Bar
2009-06-20 23:35:00
You can find this info other places on the web so I certainly don't claim to be posting new information - just my experience with using the Wii remote on my Mac.The Wii remote uses bluetooth to communicate with the Wii which many computers these days have built in. If you don't have bluetooth on your computer, you can buy a bluetooth adapter for under $20. With a program called DarWiin Remotes (click link to download) you can connect your Wii remote to your computer quite easily. The only problem is that to use the controller as a full fledged mouse you either have to master using the accelerometer to move the mouse pointer (not an easy task) or you can buy or build a sensor bar like the one that comes with the Wii.The sensor bar is just a few IR LEDs separated by about 7". The Wiimote uses some form or triangulation to determine where the mouse pointer needs to be based on it's position related to the sensor bar. It then relays that information back to the computer via bluetooth...

AccuHolidays | Free Christmas Music
2007-12-12 19:09:00
If you are like me, your cd library is rather sparse and the Christmas music section is even smaller. I think I may own one cd of Christmas music which gets old after about 2 plays. About 5 years ago I stumbled across AccuHolidays streamed Christmas music. They have 13 holiday channels: Jazz, Classics, R&B, Adult Contemporary, Pop, Rock, Celtic and several others. There is even a "Build Your Own Mix" channel.This year the music is sponsored by Kay Jewelers. The commercials consist of "AccuHolidays sponsored by Kay Jewelers. 'Every kiss begins with Kay'". Not too obtrusive although I can't stand Kay Jewelers ads. While I am at it I have to bash the Jarrod (sp?) ads on TV. They are obsurd and so over the top, it makes me race to change the channel.Back of my soap box now. AccuHolidays is a great way to fill your home or office with "holiday cheer" without spending money on all those cds you will only use for 30 days -+.Happy holidays.coppertopjsq

Samsung Monitor Update
2007-12-12 19:01:00
12.12.07Update on the situation:About 3 weeks after calling Samsung and complaining, I received a call from their customer support department. They were offering to replace my monitor with a refurbished one. Of course I jumped at it and swapped the screens out. When I hooked up the new screen it worked fine but made a high pitched whine for about a week. I don't know if it went away or if I just tune it out now. Hopefully this screen will work until have the money to buy a 36" HD tv to hook my Mac to.Thanks to VM for the comment on the October post. I am sorry to hear about your experience. My advice to anyone with a similar problem is to post on blogs and/or post a video on youtube. If you have a legitimate argument there is a good chance that the company will try to contact you to resolve the bad PR.Good Luck and Happy Holidays.coppertopjsq

Phanton Vibrations
2007-10-17 04:47:00
It was reported in the news recently that several cellphone users have developed phantom vibrations in their legs simulating the phone "ringer'. The are also reporting that they wake up in the middle of the night to check their phones - as if they have some kind of internal cell phone clock.This phenomenon is a sad indicator of the priorities of our culture. I recently changed the ring tones on my phone to caller specific Morse code ringers. Now whenever I am driving down the road I heard random beeping noises and think my phone is ringing. I think the reason for this hyper/faux alertness is due to cell calls being our life. Around the world, cell phones have replaced most modes of communication. Kids used to IM or email. Now they txt or talk. We don't want to miss a single communique as if life will stop without it.I believe these phantom ringers and vibrations are part of the Reticular Activating System. The RAS is the phenomenon where you start to notice 1995 Chevy Caprices aft...

Don't Buy Samsung Monitors or TVs
2007-10-11 22:43:00
Today I join the realm of consumers taking their unresolved product grievances to the internet. I posted a video on YouTube today stating my distaste for Samsung s tv and monitor customer service. You can read the details here or scroll down to watch the video.A little over 3 years ago I purchased a Samsung multi-function display, I believe it was the 170MP. It seemed like a really cool idea, a computer monitor, TV and composite video input. The monitor worked great until sometime in September of 2006. The video signal became very dim on the VGA input making it almost useless to edit videos on.When I called Samsung, (finding the tech support option on their phone menu is a challenge) they told me that I would have to send the 170MP in to be repaired since they didn't carry that model anymore. The repair time was nebulous and since I used the screen for business, and it happened to be my only TV, I wasn't happy. When I protested stating that I used the screen for business I was told...

Apple iPhone Improvements
2007-09-28 04:05:00
So apparently they came out with an update for the iPhone today that will brick (kill) some modded phones. In my opinion this was a stupid move on Apple s part. Why does big business have to mess with consumer innovation? The answer will always remain the same: money and power.Despite my grievance with Apple for their flaws I do think the iPhone is a really cool device. I hope that Apple gets their head out of the sand and makes some changes. For about 4 years, I have had a concept for a phone. When I heard about the iPhone I was excited because I thought it was going to be close to my concept. Unfortunately they have fallen a little short, albeit probably intentionally. So what is my idea? Let's get to it.My dream phone would a marriage of the Nokia N95 and the iPhone along with some additional features.

Save The Drowning Cell Phone
2007-09-18 17:40:00
Two years ago I bought my wife her first cell phone for Mothers Day. A couple weeks later I was switching my old phone to her new number. She was swimming, forgot that she had wrapped the cellphone in her towel, and flung the phone into the pool when she picked up the towel to dry off. We were both pissed and while I tried to save the phone by taking the battery out, it was gone. With the prices for electronic gadgets these days it is good to know how to save them in case of liquid damage.I have heard of numerous people salvaging their phones with these tips.1. Immediately remove the battery from the phone! This will prevent any potential shorting of components that would be permanently damaged.2. If you dropped the device in anything other than plain water, eg. chlorinated pool, soda, rinse the phone in distilled water. Interesting fact: Distilled water is actually an electrical insulator. The lack of minerals in the water prevent electron flow.3. Dry off the phone and submerge it ...
