Yeah…I’m a geek

Earlier this week I posted about both my excitement and trepidation surrounding the new Google voice-activated search functionality now found in the Mobile App.  Well, I can safely say that my fears were unnecessary and probably unjustified as well.  In a nutshell, the voice-activated functionality of the application works surprisingly well! 
Not only can you perform [...]

Okay, maybe not here in North America,but Japanese telco DoCoMo recently announced that it will release an Android-based phone sometime next year in hopes that it will differentiate them from rival telco Softbank.  Now that we have all seen and played with the G1, what would you like to see from the next Android-based phone? 
I would love to see [...]

According to the NYTimes, Google will be launching an iPhone app that provides Google search via a user simply using their voice.  To search, all an iPhone user would have to do is state their question into the phone with the application launched.  Theoretically, this could be the easiest way to solve all those incredibly important debates [...]

For those of you that want realtime results and some Twitter content mashed in together…

I’m sitting at the Gartners ITxpo listening to an analyst outline how Google will reach $150B in revenue by 2015. In no way is this anything more than a forecast, but the backup and information to back up these claims is interesting, plausible and logical. For all of you that thought 5 years ago that [...]

I am currently down in Orlando at the Gartner ITxpo where there is a wealth of manufacturers and technology providers.  Early this afternoon I had the opportunity to get hands-on with the Blackberry Storm and Flip and the HTC G1 running Android.  Unfortunately, based on the crowds, I had only a short time with each device, [...]

“Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years”
Many people at the time felt that his plan was beyond [...]

Google, in it’s continuous quest to “Do Good”, has just launched Project 10 to the 100th.  It is a global call out for ideas on how to change the world by helping others.  Sooo…if you have had an idea filed away in the back of your head that you think could help others in your [...]

With it’s dominance of the search market, it’s dislike for everything Microsoft and it’s continued focus on cloud computing, many people wondered how long it would take Google to get into the browser game.  Well, with it’s recent release of Chrome, that time is now. 

If you are a MS Windows XP or Vista user (sorry Mac [...]

Two of the more significant challenges virtual worlds have had to deal with since their inception several years ago are realism and ubiquity. In terms of realism, virtual worlds have been interesting and engaging, but far from realistic.
