What I think about the new Facebook Home
Facebook is cool and all, but most days I prefer Twitter, Google+, and Tumblr. But even though I personally do like Facebook at times, do I really want it shoved down my throat 24/7? I mean let’s face it - we are on our mobile devices the majority part of our days. Do I want to spend all of my time on Facebook? Like the saying goes, “if you have too much of a good thing, something pleasant becomes unpleasant.” This may be the beginning of the end for Facebook.

I’m sure we have all been in this situation at some point or another. Your mobile device is dead, or close to dying, and you have no electricity to juice it up. Maybe your power is out at your home due to a bad storm, or you are out on a trail biking or camping and you need to charge your battery. Your savior will be your own human power and a cool gadget.
Yes, you read that headline correct. Starting this past weekend, a simple unlock of your iPhone or your Android could get you a hefty fine, and if you plan to profit off selling unlocked phones it could land you in prison for up to five long years, locked up with murderers and rapists and a fine of up to $500,000 all because you want to sign up with another carrier service.

Some of you may have noticed that I am an iPhone fanboy, well because I own one and it’s pretty darn awesome. One of the major changes to iOS 5 version that came along last year was Siri, the “intelligent assistant.” Siri allows you to ask it questions, and get responses based on queries it makes to different sources.

The INSTEON LED Bulb is not just any ordinary light bulb, it’s way better. It’s the world’s first networked dimmable light bulb. Plus, it’s an LED bulb, so you get the same energy saving and long lasting bulbs, but with the added benefit of it being a networked bulb.
The Clambook is a beautifully thin and lightweight extension of your mobile device that gives you the usability of a laptop. Ideally, I would say users with smart phones are the perfect market here. If you have a small phone device, and possibly use it for email, documentation and videos/movies, this could be really something of value to you.
Every once in a while there will be an app or technology that I see on the Android platform that makes me wish I had an Android instead of an iPhone, and on{x} appears to be one of them. Pronounced “on-ex”, it’s a new app from Microsoft developed specifically for Android that let’s users easily set reminders. The reminders once set, happen automatically without worry from the user to have to set it up in the future, and the reminders are extremely powerful - let me explain.
