Cell Phones as Gifts
by Jacob P. December 21st, 2011 | Cell Phones
It's almost Christmas, and the advertising mills are pumping out cell phone advertisements like there is no tomorrow. Seeing as I need a new cell phone (because mine is two years old and all scratched up), I have begun to think about cell phones as a Christmas present. Although I didn't ask for one because we may be switching carriers, I have continued to think about how well they serve as presents. I have come up with some guidelines to giving them as presents, so here they are.
RIM Can’t Win
by Jacob P. October 26th, 2011 | Cell Phones
You remember Research in Motion (RIM), right? The company that used to be the all-powerful god of smart phones? Yeah, you know, the guys who make BlackBerries. Well, these days, it seems to be just one failure after another for them.
Recently, RIM announced they would be releasing a new operating system name BBX. The new operating system was said to be greatly improved, while retaining many of the popular features from the last OS. Well, shortly after announcing the name, they were sued by a New Mexico based company. Albuquerque based Basis International had trademarked the name for a

I just got back from a sunny vacation in Virginia Beach, VA. I'd been off the grid (save for GPS – I'm not good at reading maps) for the whole time, and I loved every minute of it. No interruptions from colleagues asking me to do work off the clock, and no interruptions from friends and family members for various other reasons. I had complete peace and complete freedom to come and go as I pleased. No emails, no text messages, no Facebook, no Twitter – just simplicity and peace. I've had a longing to see what it would
iPad 3′s New Screen?

Though there have been rumors about Samsung's new ultra-high-resolution technology being the iPad 3's new display, I have my doubts. The screen itself sounds absolutely wonderful. Its specs go above and beyond what the current market offers. It is a 10.1-inch WQXGA tablet touch screen with a resolution of 2560×1600. Not only that, but it also has a pixel density of 300 dots per inch. Crazy. Talk about "retina display."
Comparing your standard RGB stripe to Samsung’s PenTile display technology, HD is going to look about two times better on the Samsung screen.

With all the nice smartphones out there, many people have been looking into purchasing them; however, in many cases they are unnecessary. Truth is, many people don't need one, but get one anyway. If you are looking into buying one, you should ask yourself a few simple questions first.
- Does my work require me to carry a phone? This question is a tricky one in today's society. Your work may not have literally told you to buy one, but if you need to have constant email and web access, you need a smartphone. At the same time, you may think
