Poor Motorola

Motorola was down in the dumps before they introduced the RAZR in 2004. Motorola revolutionized the size of phones with the RAZR which became wildly popular. I remember a friend of mine paying a ton of money for one and showing it off. Up until the iPhone came along, the future seemed to be tilting toward [...]

Android to Become New King of Smart Phones

I can’t wait until an Android phone gets released on Verizon. The Android platform being released to the largest network in the US is huge. Finally something to compete with RIM and Apple. The only thing that would ruin it is if Verizon decides to lock down the phone in some way. They are guilty [...]

Company Bathrooms Done Right

I’m currently working as an Information Security Engineer for a large banking company. I have to say that the bathrooms are an employees dream. Sure they have the usual expected stuff. Disposable seat covers, automatic flushers and soap dispensers, and a cleaning crew that cleans it several times a day. But they take it one [...]

Hack Your Next Tech Job Interview

I usually have trouble explaining my technical expertise during job interviews. It’s not that I don’t have the experience. It’s that I am usually too general. When asked what I do, I would answer with a “I installed and configured x” and leave it at that. After getting rejected many times, I started to learn [...]

My Letter to Courtney Love

Dear Courtney,
Why are you and the surviving members of Nirvana so pissy about Kurt Cobain being an unlockable character in Guitar Hero 5? I can understand how it might not look right to you when a grunge artist like him is in the game playing a Bon Jovi Song, but that’s not up to you to [...]

Is the PS2 Dead?

PS2 owners seem very upset that they can’t buy the new Beatles Rock Band for their beloved system. Even with the PS2 in so many homes, EA decided not to make a version of the game for the slowly dying system. Does this mark the end of the PS2? Will the Madden or Guitar Hero [...]

Sirius/XM Not Canceling Accounts

One of my Sirius radios were stolen a few months ago. I decided to cancel the service until I bought a new radio. Little did I know that Sirius/XM continued to charge my credit card. I called again to have it canceled. Again my card was charged. Only when I switched credit card numbers did [...]
