Google TV

I found this article on CNN.com about Google creating an app TV.
Google android has an app that television manufacturers or interested in that might bring Internet to your television.

I think it is great that Google is trying to lead the charge in tech right now. For years Apple has been the leader in technology and now they have some friendly competition. Which actually does several things for the end users. 1 it causes the rate in which new technology is developed to increase substantially. 2 it causes the price of that technology to decrease substantially. We saw this with Video card manufacturers for years NVIDIA lead the charge on video card technology with no real competition and their prices reflected that. When AMD bought out ATI and began trying to build "quality" competative cards NVIDIA was forced to drop prices. however NVIDIA is still the most reliable Video card on the market.

Scandal

I have been waiting to hear more about the lost iPhone. Well its finally here. The police have interviewed the person who sold it to Gizmodo but they are not charging him with anything yet. I guess we will have to keep waiting to see if anything else unfolds.


Who didnt see this coming? Seriously who didnt see them trying to charge this guy with theft. let me propose thisquestion to you. If I loose my phone and someone finds it what happens to that person if they get caught? The answer is nothing. As a matter of fact if i asked the police to find it they would basically tell me to "Pound Sand". So to Apple I love your products but let it go!

My Angel

So on July 25th 2009 I went on a date that even though I didnt know it at the time I was with the love of my life. However at the time I did have this feeling, I had feelings that I hadnt ever felt before. I started thinking, is she the one? could this really be it? And now I am sure. The woman I am going to marry is the love of my life, she is my best friend. I cannot wait to start spending the rest of our lives together. Yesterday I finally signed the contract on the house that we will live in! What an amazing feeling this is.

We can not wait to start the few small remodeling processes we have planned and to start building fences and growing a garden and all of the fun things that neither one of us have ever been able to do. We have a house and we get to make it our home. It is a beautiful berm house with an in-ground pool and a hottub and a very nice deck. It has a very nice garage and a barn and 20 acres for our horses and sheep.

porn in technology

I found this articl on CNN.com abouthow the porn industry is always the first to adopt a new technology.

It is interesting but if you think about it i bet the porn industry is one of the most wealthy in the world Im not a fan myself but it is very widely advertised. Alot of new technology platforms areengineered by the porn industry as new ways for them to reach their customers then someone says hey why couldnt we use that for this too?

Skinput

I found this article on CNN.com about a new type of cell phone technology.

Wouldnt it be amazing if you could just touch your skin in different places and get it to do different things on your phone? I think this guy is on the right track but the possibilities for this are endless.

iPhone 4g

I found this article on CNN.com about an Apple employee loosing a prototype iphone 4g in a bar.


It is weird that they would even let him leave the Apple factory with such a device even though it was disguised as a 3Gs. What did they expect all of their technology and software always gets leaked. Its just that this time someone actually had proof of it.

Space!!

I found this article on CNN.com.

President Obama is about to reveal his space plan, this should be interesting since every other plan he has revealed has pretty much aggravated the majority of the population. If you can’t tell I’m not a huge Obama fan. But I didn’t vote for him so I did what I could do about it. Anyways the new space plan will offer a 6 billion dollar increase in budget to NASA over a 6 year period but will also require them to do away with the constellation project and pretty much scrap all of the progress they have made in rockets and shuttles in recent history.

I am not a big fan of the idea of scrapping a project that is responsible for getting the space program where it is today just so they can work just a little bit harder on a project the has no definite timeline. If they scrap this project there will be no US space travel of our own. We will rely on Russia at a cost of 50 million dollars per seat. I think it is great that the old commanders of former missions are coming forward to speak about how they feel about this. And they all seem to pretty much share the same opinion towards it, they don’t want to see us regress. In all honesty every new space technology and travel method wouldn’t be possible without the use of technology from previous versions. It also seems like we would be wasting the 10 billion dollars spent on the previous shuttles that will be being retired. We as a country cannot afford to waste 10 billion dollars. We have gone into debt to be able to spend that money. It would be like me going out and buying a car on credit, not putting insurance on it and setting it on fire. I would be stuck with the bill and no car.

Volcano!!!!

I found this article on foxnews.com

A Volcanic Eruption in Iceland has disrupted air travel throughout the world due to the massive amounts of volcanic ash being shot into the air. All flights in and out of London Heathrow airport have been cancelled due to the fact that the Plume of smoke and ash is drifting over parts of Europe. The Volcano has also caused massive amounts of flooding in the local areas around the volcano because it is melting the ice at a very rapid pace. This is the biggest airline shutdown since 9/11/01. Iceland is a country of 320,000 people and is known for its history of devastating eruptions.

I have to wonder why if Iceland is known for its history of devastating eruptions, why do people still live there? I am a pretty simple guy but I am the kind of person who believes if you know that the area you live in floods every year like clockwork why would you still live there? I can’t imagine how frustrated people must be right now, trying to go on vacation and already took off work but their flight has been cancelled. That would suck. I was almost put in that situation and if it hadn’t been for some really good planning I would have been. While I was deployed we were supposed to be relieved by the 25^th ID from Alaska about the time they were gearing up to leave to come replace us a volcano was nearing eruption, fortunately they changed their mission and transferred all of their gear and equipment to anchorage by train and managed to escape just in the nick of time. When their last guy had landed in Afghanistan the volcano blew. When we were told we might have to stay an additional 3 months the moral of our unit went down drastically.

The Little Things!

Over the past few years I have Realized that its the little things in life that we take for granted.
In March of 2008 I deployed to Afghanistan, here I began to realize that little things like indoor plumbing is often taken for granted. During my deployment I began to miss things like being able to use a toilet with running water without having to walk a half a mile, being able to take a shower without having to walk a half a mile, and even being able to take a shower without feeling dirty as soon as you step out from all of the dust blowing around you!

Family, Family is one of the biggest things we take for granted. Being able to hug the ones you love, being able to see their faces and watch them grow. The little things that in every day life you just don't realize you would miss them if they weren't there.

And last but not least, The love of a woman. I think Travis Tritt said it best when he said: "Where would we be without the love of a woman Standing behind her man even when he's wrong The true pure undying love of a woman Makes a man a fool to think he can make it alone"
I had never felt the true pure undying love of a woman until last summer when I met the love of my life. She doesn't know it but I knew i loved her from the moment we made contact again. Thank you Facebook. And I never knew what I was missing. They say it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all, how true is that. I can’t imagine my life without her now. I have made it a goal in my life to be thankful for what I have and never take the small things for granted.

collider

I found this article on CNN.com about a group of scientists that are trying to get beams of energy to collide.

It is strange to think about the fact that these people believe there are alternate dimensions.

I sometimes fell like we waste our money on things just to see if it can be done. This seems rather pointless and you would think that the 10 billion could be better spent elsewhere.

iCade

I found this article on CNN.com about something that started as a joke may very well become a reality!

I have been very excited following the iPad which will finally be released tomorrow April 3rd.

This could very well be an interesting item if it is ever released to manufacturing, A controller pad for the iPhone or iPad would make them extremely Pro.
