A Game Controller? For Your Phone?! COOL!

  By Uncategorized

Yeah if your reading the title and wondering, “wait wtf did he just say?” Well wonder no longer. This thing exists! Thanks to the folks over at Phandroid.com for providing this little device.

This is intended for Android phones, so I’m sorry all you iPhone people who love your phone. Maybe Steve Jobs should stop dissing on OpenSource then maybe someone might make you one. Anyways, personal grudges aside, this is a BlueTooth device that allows for a new gaming experience on your phone without having to use those annoying on screen buttons. Let’s face it, when your playing a game nothing beats the feeling of a controller in your hand. Which is why I think “Project Natal” is going to fail miserably.

The developers say that making this work with existing games should take no longer than an hour on the publisher’s side.

Hit the links and read up about it then hit me up with a comment on what you think about it.

“I Sue You!” “No! I Sue You!” (Apple would be banned from the US)

  By

It’s not new news that Apple is suing HTC, but now it’s the heat just got turned up!

HTC was the first to do a lot of things that involved “Innovation” and revolutionizing the way we use our phones. I would know I owned one of the first T-Mobile Windows phones (the MDA). In today’s world HTC still makes Windows Mobile phones, but also produces the new Android phones. This is what Apple is scared of, Google. So they sued the little guy HTC.

HTC has come out and said that they were the first to develop the technologies that Apple uses today, but did not patent them as a way to revolutionize the industry. Leaving the freedom to others to do the same. Since then the industry really has changed.

Well on to the topic at hand. Apple is suing HTC for patents but I just found out from Phandroid.com that a company called Elan is already suing Apple for patents based on Multitouch! HAHAHA

I’m sorry if your an Apple person but I find the irony absolutely hilarious! They go as far to say that “…Elan seeks to block Apple from importing its products into the U.S. that use multitouch, including the iPhone, iPod touch, MacBook, Magic Mouse and the iPad, which is due for release on April 3.” That means no Apple products that have a multitouch function will not be able to be sold.

Wow! Microsoft’s Concept Idea Courier

  By Uncategorized

So, I’ve decided to do a little more than just post photo blogs here. Mostly because I been thinking that I would love to share my thoughts and ideas about stuff going on around the world. Well since I have a blog that people actually check out from time to time I’m going to start posting up some stuff that interests me! SO :-p

Anyways, I was going through my Google Reader today and I came across this article from engadget about a concept idea from Microsoft called the Courier. The idea is like having a little touch-screen “book” at about a netbook size. So no it won’t fit in your pocket (unless you rockin’ some old school Junco pants) and it’s not like an iPad. Both screens are touch screen giving you the freedom to do stuff on both sides. Now from the video that engadget has on their site, the concept looks to work well with people who are designers of all types. Of course this is just a concept and I’m sure it doesn’t stop there.

Now comes my opinion on the concept. Engadget did not touch on this part, but the Courier in the video was being used as a book, journal, address book, and a camera while staying in the book orientation. Well I think, what if you turn it and have one screen up and the other as a keyboard/touchpad/multi-touch surface for applications.

Anyways check out the post on their site here!

CharlieBoy808 in Vegas (Lord have mercy on their souls LoL)

  By

Well if you didn’t know I was in Vegas a couple weeks ago and oh boy was it a memorable one. It was supposed to be a business trip, which it was (the last two days), but who said you can’t have a bit of fun too. I mean come on! It’s Vegas!!! LOL

So let me set the story here. Me, Sam The Man (of 102.7 Da Bomb) and Nathan Green of New Level Radio were set to go to Vegas for a conference (The Digital Signage Expo). However, Sam’s family thought it would be good if they all got together while he was up there. So it went from business to a hell of a lot of fun!! LOL Sam’s family is absolutely awesome and a lot of fun.

Now I know it’s been a while since I made a post like this, but hey I’m gonna give it a shot. I also gotta admit, I didn’t do a lot of Photog’ing. I don’t know why really. Part of me just wanted to enjoy it for what it was. Another part was thinking, “I don’t want to be out here with this crappy ass lens.”

Anyways lets get this started!!

Here is Sam’s family (omg i had all of their names in my head while i was up there now i forget… ugh F my brain…)

Sam’s mom and dad!

The first night we landed and wanted to eat since the airplane food is basically crap LOL So we went to this place called BLT. I ordered a BLT with some extra cheese. It was alright. I still prefer Teddy’s Bigger Burger (i still gotta try burgers on the edge LOL) by the way… thats not a pickle. more like a cucumber…

STM got the same LOL

There are a lot of photos so more after the break
