The 3D TV in 2010?

Posted in Hardware, Media, TV, Tech on March 10th, 2010 by Jahos – Be the first to comment

Since Avatar, 3d technology has been at the forefront of most tech news in the first quarter of 2010. Now Bestbuy, Panasonic, Samsung and others are all producing sets that handle 3d. Years ago they tried this and it failed, what has changed? 3d Technology or just our need to be more emerged in entertainment.. who knows. One thing is clear tech companies think it’s the next boom, I however am skeptical.

Sorry no matter how many “cool” 133$ Sony 3d glasses come out, I don’t think I’ll be wearing them in my own home.  What do you think?

Will 3D TVs Be A Hit or Miss?

I’m going to be turning this into my own personal web-blog. It’s going to morph over time into a personal blog of sorts of things that I find interesting.

I am a novice photographer and an experienced tech professional. I think my unique perspective and my dark sense of humor might be a nice ride for whoever wants to come along.

Americans Pay more for Wireless / Cell Phone Service

Posted in General News, Tech on August 13th, 2009 by Jahos – Be the first to comment

It’s pretty much a fact. The OECD, a group that calls for “fairness” in economics worldwide conducted some studies. Each of these included both low, med, and high cell usage from voice, mms, and sms messages.

And the biggest loser is? America. Yup, getting screwed by the man yet again.

In my travels I’ve been to several countries where they provide pay-as-you go service. There is no “activation” fee or any other BS charges associated with the line. In taiwan for example they have cell phones that accept multiple sim cards and a normal user of data/voice the average cost is about 10 bucks per month.

Blackberry App World Update 1.1 = Fail

Posted in Software, Tech on August 12th, 2009 by Jahos – Be the first to comment

Blackberry Appworld cannot run applications from the “archive” aka microSD card. See below from their own FAQ’s. That might be the lamest workaround to an issue ever!

What happens if I archive an application?
If a BlackBerry smartphone user archives an application it is uninstalled and can no longer be used. However, the archived application may be restored for use at a later date.

Note: It is recommended that the application remain in “archived” status in My World and not be deleted or uninstalled otherwise the user must re-download the application and will incur data download charges.

Can I run applications from my external media card?
No, applications can only be stored on an external media card. BlackBerry smartphone users must restore an application that exists on an external media card to use it.

ROM – Runes of Magic

Posted in MMO, Software on August 3rd, 2009 by Jahos – Be the first to comment

It’s a free MMO. Some would say it’s a WOW clone, and much of it looks very similar but the mechanics are very different.

Best part of the game in my opinion is the Dual Class system. Getting bored with 1 class sucks, and re-rolling sucks even more, you can now select 2 classes on 1 character and swap classes when you want! You benefit from their skills as well.
