Who doesn’t love the idea of Goolge+? It’s a social network, from Google, that ties into your Google life. It’s got a pretty easy to use interface, does a great job at grouping friends, has video and audio chat built-in and can automatically upload every picture you take from your Android phone into the system.

Flashed Miui onto my Droid Incredible

30 Nov, 2011

MIUI Screenshots

I’m not a huge Android fan but I do have an Android phone that I want to love. I’m a Google fan, but the phone has not been as good as I thought it should be. I think the real issue with Android is the fact that carriers modify it. Once Google releases an update […]

Google Music’s uploader app finally adds playlist support.

16 Nov, 2011

I’ve been using Google Music for a while now, but my biggies issues is that the app uploads everything in iTunes. This means that it uploaded Christmas & children’s music whether I wanted it or not. Plus there is no way to create smart playlists so I could listen to everything but those genres. Turns out that […]

To the CloudApp with that screenshot and return me a link.

3 Nov, 2011

If you’re on a Mac, Cloud is a great free app. To use it, you just drag a document onto the application icon in the menu bar and it gets uploaded to the internet. It then copies the link to the file so you can just paste it into an email or use it wherever. […]

Why do phone carriers still charge for text messaging when there are so many free alternatives?

23 Oct, 2011

I’m not a big texter, but I do get a few each month from others. So I end up paying a few dollars for texts. What I don’t get is why phone carriers charge for texting when so many others give it away for free? I already pay $$ for the phone and service, why […]

Rooting and Un-Rooting my Droid Incredible.

8 Sep, 2011

Rooting my Droid Incredible was one of those geeky things I really wanted to do. I didn’t have a good reason, I just thought it’d be cool. So I did it; then I tried to un-do it. Rooting my phone was really easy thanks to the unrevoked3 recovery reflash tool. All I had to do was […]

Lion. Why you no like my computer?

21 Jul, 2011

Sad Cat

It’s sad but it’s true, Lion won’t work on my iMac. It’s one of the first generation Intel iMacs and it didn’t make the cut. Ohh well. I can still put it on my work computer so at least I’ll be able to play with it. And I can still get backwards scrolling if I want […]
