According to CNET, Netflix is going to be switching from Silverlight to the amazing HTML5 and I really can’t wait for this. When I use my Ubuntu laptop, Silverlight is only half supported on the platform with something called Monolight that can’t playback protected videos. So I have to use my Roku or my Windows [...]

I hate people
As an alert and defensive driver, I’m constantly looking out for other cars. I do this by keeping my eyes on the road as often as I can by not texting while driving and the Windows Phone Music app doesn’t require my eyes on the device to switch to a new song with the gestures [...]

Google is Selling a $1,299 Web Browser
For the netbooks they were, the Chromebooks of yesterday were at least reasonably priced. You wouldn’t want to do anything with a Windows netbook at a price of $200, so it made sense that a Chromebook existed at that price. Sure, they weren’t speed demons and sure, some were $500, but for people who just [...]

I Hope the Esquire Network Fails
No one watched G4. A network with the sole purpose of video games doesn’t have a big audience. But a lot of people watched TechTV. It could be anything related to technology, and it was. TechTV was beginning to be profitable when G4 decided to buy the network. They didn’t want the programming or the [...]

BlackBerry 10 is just a more traditional looking Windows Phone
I gotta admit, when I saw the new BlackBerry 10 OS with its new devices, I was impressed. The Q10 and Z10 are beautiful phones and BlackBerry 10 looks like a great OS. However, that being said, most of the new features aren’t really new to the mobile industry, just BlackBerry. The new BlackBerry Hub [...]

Slacking on GeekOnIn
You may know that I also run a website called GeekOnIn. It’s basically CNET but run by real people, not a corporation afraid of a product that could make them lose money. It’s supposed to be professional, not a couple sentences glued poorly together. It’s supposed to be unbiased, and offer as much information as [...]

This is why I made that Kickstarter post on Lockergnome
Rant Mode Time: Back in the Summer, I made a post on LockerGnome called “Why Sites Like Kickstarter Are Ruining Responsibility.” I didn’t make the post for publicity and I most certainly didn’t target the post to the brilliant designers and scientists who lack funds. It was fueled by anger from a long time fan [...]

Misleading Blogger
Ever since I switched over to Blogger from WordPress, I’ve been getting a lot more traffic here, at least in the built-in stats. With Google Analytics, I’m getting my same old low traffic in the tens, but on Blogger stats, it shows 200+ hits a day. This makes me wonder if something is wrong with [...]

The Worst Feature of Windows 8
Windows is used by many people, including ordinary people who barely know how to use a computer. Normal people don’t know what updates are or why they should do them, so yes, it makes sense that Microsoft has automatic updates happen in the background. That way the user doesn’t have to worry about them. So [...]

I’m glad the elections are over.
I don’t follow politics carefully, I just don’t care. I know I should because this is my future, but I can’t vote so this really has nothing to do with me. When it does come time for me to vote, it’s going to be difficult. I’m a libertarian, but because the only real political parties [...]

Brickleberry is Horrible
Daniel Tosh is funny. Tosh.0 is funny. But Brickleberry is stupid. I don’t even have to watch the show to know that it is stupid, I’ve seen enough clips online to prove this. It’s like the new episodes of Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show. They’re all doing great in the ratings because [...]

Don’t Buy a Windows Phone… yet
Microsoft has made probably the best phone you can buy. The best user interface, fast on slow processors, and great integration with other Microsoft products. That being said, do not buy a Windows Phone right now. Back in June, Microsoft announced the new version of Windows Phone called Windows Phone 8 to go along with [...]

Everyone Should Have Broadband
Years ago, back when the internet was new, it didn’t matter how fast web pages loaded. All that mattered was being able to connect to the world wide web. But as time went by, websites got more advanced and the need for a more advanced internet connection increased.It’s hard to believe that even today, some [...]

I wouldn’t mind a new Chromebook or Chromebox
Source: Chrome devices I just made a post on GeekOn.In about the new Chrome devices and honestly, I’m impressed. Yes, it’s still just a web browser, but the way they have updated the new Chrome OS makes it more familiar and inviting. Almost two years ago, I was invited into the Pilot Program and made [...]
