    HTC Droid Incredible 2 Launching on Verizon

    The only advantage I see for this over the incredible I already have is the GSM mode where you could buy a sim card for prepaid service in another country and use it over seas. I don't travel over seas (rarely) and so its not a big deal to me. I do like the incredible though. HTC is on point...

    Future Snapdragon Android Devices to Get Netflix

    This is ridiculous. The abandon all the current snapdragon users like incredible, EVO 4G, etc. I think next time I'll get an Iphone so i don't get shoved out in the cold. Thanks google. Great job.

    Snapdragon Android Phones Getting Netflix First

    It is too bad that it won't be available for the motorola droid phones. And I suspect that HTC will use this as a marketing advantage. Too bad because some of the motorola phones are pretty nice. The Droid X comes to mind and so does the Droid 2. Maybe in time they will develop a netflix app...

    Snapdragon Android Phones Getting Netflix First

    Droid incredible. It is one of the most ubiquitous phones along with others from HTC that share the snapdragon processors. The HTC evo 4g uses it as well and is also a very common droid phone. I use netflix fairly often so I look forward to seeing this along with Android 2.3 from the factory...

    School Installs Facial Recognition Tech for Roll Call

    I think the RFID is a great idea. That way if they are not there they can automatically be scheduled for detention. Of if they aren't at school the police can find them and deliver them to the school and call their parents who should be whipping their behind for not being there in the first place.

    Very true. Google really is the new Apple.

    Verizon to Ditch Unlimited Data Plans With 4G LTE

    I agree with the comments about people on food stamps and stuff and then having nice phones and things. This makes me wonder why we have welfare systems at all. If people really needed these services they wouldn't be worried about a fancy phone. On the other hand, internet access is important...

    Americans Need Jobs; Firms Look to India

    OK enough of my ranting. Outsourcing is a reality and its not going away. Sometimes, it is a good thing. The answer the problem (because it is a real problem) is education and developing new industries locally that cannot be done anywhere else. An industry or new ideas that are dependent on...

    Americans Need Jobs; Firms Look to India

    All tech support seems to be scripted to some extent so I doubt that there would be a huge difference between what your getting from an Indian versus an american tech support person. However, we are a very "ME" society. Investors are important. But the gentlemen earlier talking about his...

    Chevy Volt Hits the Road in Pre-production Form

    Yes, I think many people misunderstand. The Volt in Fact only uses its gas motor when the battery is low. If I had this car where I live now I would almost never burn gas because I almost never drive more than 40 miles per day. The oil company's would want a bullet in my head for not buying...

    The Big DTV Switch: The World Didn't End

    Its easy to assume that people just want to sink money into cable when they don't watch that much TV. That and $50/mo is silly for 70 channels of which only 2 or 3 even hold my interest. There are plenty of people who use OTA reception. Mainly people who are financially savvy and those who'd...

    What If We Only Bought American Tech?

    Honestly, it makes more sense to buy what fits your needs. If that means samsung, sony, LG, etc then so be it. Personally, I will not buy Lenovo though. IBM should have found a way to at least keep it has a domestic corporation instead of selling the whole PC business to Lenovo.

    What If We Only Bought American Tech?

    While I like buying american when it comes to technology very little of it is actually made here anymore and especially not the various low level components like circuit boards, microchips, etc. Most of that stuff is made in China. Also, computer themselves are often still at least partly made...

    IE8: Your Behavior Made It Better

    IE8. What a crock! I downloaded and installed it last week. LOL The first time I loaded it it crashed and then when I killed it from the task manager it automatically restarted itself without asking me. Then it crashed again. Forget it, IE8 can go to hell. LOL It is a huge joke. IE7 was...

    Wii Emulator Gives Peek at HD Wii Graphics

    I wonder what the possibilities are of incorporating HD upconversion from the WII the way some DVD and BluRay drives can do? If it is done propertly it seems to work pretty well. Perhaps Nintendo should consider offering this as an upgrade or built in feature for the Wii in the future.
