What is Tech Talk and What does it mean in day to day life??

Paul

When I say I want to talk about Technology what does that mean to you?

This is one of those really good questions that I’ve come to see is something that needs to be explained.   Technology to me is anything that revolves around anything electronic from a car radio to an IPAD but that doesn’t mean that if you talk about a Blackberry that you aren’t doing talking about technology.     To me tech talk is something that is yet undefined but yet always in the lime light.

Technology presumes there’s just one right way to do things and there never is.  ~Robert M. Pirsig

This is something that has always been a problem when do we assume we know what technology is.   Although, I am sure others will say technology is the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose. It just means they are quoting from Wikipedia but that doesn’t necessary mean a lot does it?

Technology as small as a nanite!

When I say Nanites, I am really talking about nanorobotics or in simple terms these are robots that are small and could fit several thousand on a head of a pin and you would never see them.   That is how small these guys are.   These little guys are basically a research vessel and are not being made to the public just yet but we’ve come a long way.

So Tech Talk is Anything?

I won’t say that it isn’t everything but it could be anything.   If you like computers, you could come to talk about what might be going on in a couple of months to years.   Just like I talked about the Amazon Android Tablet that might be coming, you just never know what will be around the corner.   It just depends on if you want to talk about XBOX 360 games or the latest controls for console games.   This is what it means to tech talk in my opinion, basically to speculate what is coming down the road or what I like about a certain product or idea.

What do you consider Tech Talk in todays societies?  I’d like to hear!   Is it something that you don’t understand?

My Reasons why Amazon will make an Android Tablet!

Paul1 Reply

Cover of "Kindle Wireless Reading Device,... Cover via Amazon

We’ve heard the stories!

It isn’t a far fetched idea but do we really know if they will do this.   I say they will and I want to point out some of my observations.

Having launched 2 products in relatively short time.   The Android App Store and the new Cloud Service makes it that much more obvious that they will be making an Android tablet.    You see they  would gain even more market shares and bring in that more revenue because Amazon has many digital services. That would tie these digital services more together and make customers want to come back more and more to Amazon.  If I was Amazon, I would want to tie these services to a platform and make it just that much easier for people to buy digital products an also store there music, files, and other important files in the cloud to access anywhere in the US and possibly the World.

Amazon Announces Special Offers Kindles!

Amazon the last few days has announced that you could save more money if you allow them to show an un-intrusive ad at the bottom of the screen.   You would then save $25 on a Kindle.   You’re probably thinking what does this have to do with Amazon making a Tablet.  It is simple, Amazon will probably slowly introduce this to all lines of Kindles to test the waters per say.  This would make it just that much easier for when they do release the Android Tablet to subsidize it and sell it to even more who will buy products on Amazon and in turn generate even more revenue the company.  So You see Amazon is thinking long term in this and other ventures and they want customers to buy there digital products more readily.

 

Video on Demand anyone?

Just like Netflix, Amazon has also said to customers if your a Amazon Prime membership that you can watch over a thousand movies and hundred movie shows.   Amazon is certain to grow this over the next few years and if you think about it they will also want to make it easy for you to watch on your Android Tablet.   I think we will also see an Android Tablet with 3G or 4G sold with Ad’s in  them so they can pay for the bandwidth.   Although this is just speculation it would make the most sense.   If you want people to watch your shows and keep them coming back you have to have a way for them to watch the shows when they do not have a wireless connection.   That is where the cloud service will probably integrate your home movies with what Amazon Offers.

 

Amazon will soon launch this Tablet, that I am sure of.   I’d be willing to wager they will probably do this just before Christmas of 2011, if not the next date that comes to mind is spring 2012.   That way they can get people to buy the tablet before they go on there summer vacations and such.    Like I said this is all just speculation on my part and my reasons only make my point that much stronger.   Who’d be willing to buy an Ad supported Amazon android Tablet??  I would, makes it just that much easier to watch my shows while I am on the road.

TGIF: Time to watch Babylon 5 Season 1 through 5 On the Roku!!

Paul

As many of you know I simply love Science Fiction shows and movies. This weekend I intend to sit down and try to start watching Babylon 5 all the way through. This will be a marathon for me, but I thought people would like to know you can watch these online through your Roku Box and Netflix Accounts right nows. You can also watch these on the Tivo if you have Netflix Subscription!! Since I don’t have the URL’s for the netflix I will show you where else you can you view these:

Babylon 5 is an American science fiction television series created, produced and largely written by J. Michael Straczynski. The show centers on the Babylon 5 space station: a focal point for politics, diplomacy, and conflict during the years 2257–2262. With its prominent use of planned story arcs, the series was often described as a “novel for television”.

 

I must admit when J. Michael Straczynski created this series he made it so you can watch each episode independently of each other but also create it where you could actually think of this as a novel for TV. Let me break it down so you can understand it just a little more, Each season has a season story arch but also a series story arch. For instance the first season we have character development along with understanding all the races. Season two has a season story arch about the impending fight with earth and series story arch of fighting with a new powerful enemy that is on the rise. I won’t spoil it for you but I simply love being able to watch these on my Television set without having to sit at my computer to watch these. I know with all the episodes available to watch on the Roku that I probably won’t get through but One or two seasons this weekend but I will continue next weekend to watch the rest of the series.

Have A Good Friday and See you Monday!!


I get my glasses from GlassesUSA. They have a Satisfaction Guarantee and even Prescription Sunglasess for when your out doors. Give them a try, and I know you’ll like them!

Cricket Wireless now Offers unlimited Nationwide service!!

Paul

 

Cricket Wireless is now offering Nationwide Coverage for there text and talk. So Iwanted to talk about this a little to help people who might need a little help understanding this. Some of the most common questions I am seeing are:

Do I need to do anything to get nationwide coverage?

If you are constantly on the road each month you will need to sign up for the new plan by dialing *228 on you phone. This will program the phone to allow you to go outside of your home coverage area. It will also change your plan, if you already haven’t changed to the new to plan. If you were on the $25 a month plan you will automatically be bumped up to the $30 dollar plan and this goes down the line.

What phones do I need?

If you haven’t already you should check to make sure you have a Tri-band Phone and if not consider buying a Tri-band phones. You can go and find the ones that are Tri-band Phones on Crickets Phone page.

What if I didn’t call *228 and now My phone won’t work?

You can always call 1-800-922-5159 and see if they will change your plan but other than that will have to wait to get to a Cricket Coverage area (Not nationwide) to program your phone. You can talk to Cricket Wireless customer support and see what they have to say about this. I suspect though you will have to wait.

Can I use this phone if I live in the Nationwide Coverage area?

Most definitely yes, You will have to double check with Cricket Coverage area to make sure you are truly in the nationwide coverage area but other than that you can order your phone through Cricket Wireless and they will ship it to you for free.

Do I have to buy it the Phone from Cricket Wireless?

No You don’t, you can always check out the Amazon website and check to see if they have Any unlocked Tri-band phones. There you can find some cheap Tri-band phones that can be used for Cricket Wireless. You may have to call Cricket Wireless to verify that they can do this but i see no reason why it shouldn’t work!!

I wanted to let people know about the New nationwide coverage area for Cricket Wireless, and would love to hear your experiences when it comes to roaming? leave a comment and let people know.

See you Friday!!

Excellent headphones  5
I bought these headphones off of woot.com, and they are just simply amazing. They are very comfortable, and I have never heard my music sound this good. I bought a pair on woot for 20 bucks, and they are definitely worth a lot more than that. These come with a nice thick extra long cord, a nice carrying bag, and a microphone to clip on and hook up. No problems so far, I am really satisfied with my purchase.

I saw this and wanted to let people know just how nice these look.  I saw this on Amazon.   These are great for Gamers they aren’t as portable as the smaller headphones but they will at least give the gamer the best chance of surviving a game due to the feedback that it provides.   It also has a great noise isolation so you don’t have to worry about hearing a lot of outside noise.   I thought this was so cool for gamers.
