Now that the iPhone 4S has been out a few months, most owners of the device have interacted with Siri to do tasks and answer questions. I have one myself and have tried to form a relationship but I find her a little vacant, kind of like my cat. The other problem is that I have a Garmin GPS and an iPhone in the same car, so now my Nuvi and my Siri know I have anoth...

I have been paying the cable company $225 a month for a bundle including DVR's, telephone and premium stations. I just cut my entertainment expense to $46 a month saving almost $2000 a year. My home set-up is a Mac Desktop, dual monitor with a 42" Vizio TV on the wall. I have a Panasonic 4 phone system to answer around the house. I mainly watch shows recorde...

The future holds amazing methods to distract us from driving and paying attention to the world around us. This involves 24/7 connectivity without the minor inconveniences of mouse clicking, reading or finger swipes. By 2020 "Ocular Technology" will seamlessly allow immediate access to unlimited information using a contact lense / satellite dish attached snugly to ...

Anthony Weiner has taken some serious heat for publishing his sexual desires via cellphone. I must admit, I was an original sucker that fell for his hard luck "hacker" story. Being that Weinergate broke out right after the Schwartzenegger scandal, I didn't believe that a guy with his political savvy would shoot himself in the foot in such a fashion. Many people ha...

Congressman Anthony Weiner has a Twitter problem. No matter what he says he is caught in a conundrum, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. It's like one of those old jokes such as, "Do you still beat your wife?" or "If a dude jumped on your back, would you you beat him off?". There is no good answer. My guess if his name wasn't "Weiner" this whole brouhaha ...

Like most people in the world, I applaud the death of the architect responsible for 9/11. The details are pretty interesting, he was staying in a compound that had no cell coverage. This reminds me of driving down the 405 near LAX, this leaves you somewhat out of touch. In Bin Laden's case, it could cost you your life. I am in awe at our President's demeanor an...

Microsoft Exec Craig Mundie believes the tablet phenomenon is a fad. He is more on the thought that retina displays will be a more popular item in the future. I must say that I tend to agree. If a small screen can look like a big screen people will go for it. The tablet has it's place but I wonder about a year from now if it ends up in "the box". You know that ...

If you have a television, computer, phone or newspaper you have heard that AT&T bought T-Mobile. The timing makes me believe they wanted to take the steam out of Verizon's iPhone joy. I was excited until my next phone call, as usual it dropped. In fact, I have taken to wearing a specially designed helmet to avoid AT&T injury. Sometimes being the biggest...

Soon AT&T & Verizon will be announcing the iPhone5. We forget the iPhone first went on sale only four years ago. App creation was a different game in the beginning. The App Store was the wild west, innovation and quick promotion created a few winners. Warning, turn your head for five letters if you are disgusted by bodily functions, but "iFart" set the ton...

While Charlie Sheen is grabbing the headlines searching for Two and Half Men, he somehow found two goddesses and an account on Twitter If you are reading this you have been under the barrage of Charlie Sheen news. I watched his Piers Morgan interview. Whatever his claims are about sobriety, that is one hyped-up porn star. Somehow he went from the craziest parti...
