So true

7. myclevername posted on 1 min ago "Hey kids! You HAVE to have an LTE phone that is really FAST to surf the web and watch videos and play games and make video calls! Sure they're expensive and sure you have to pay extra each month but all the cool people are getting them so don't be a loser. Get a fast LTE phone from AT&T now now NOW!" And then they punish you for using too much data.

UFOs

"LatestUFOs: Mainstream Media reports about UFOs over Major Cities - 2011 http://t.co/7XoptkGp" --http://twitter.com/LatestUFOs/status/116843609436856321

I don't care how much the government denies this, they are real. And if u don't believe your own eyes then you are a fucking moron.  UFOs are real people and I'm positive there something from another world flying these ships.  The reports have been increasing more and more. Seems like some Shit is about to go down.  I just wanna see one for myself live (and not on camera), that would make my day (life).  I believe but i also want to see it for real.

Remote control

Remember when all PDA's had IR receivers built in.  With all the gadgets we have today and sensors built in why not just bring the IR receivers back.  It would be a good selling point.

Digital Blasphemy

"dblasphemy: The "Enshrouded" multiscreen has finally finished rendering! I hope to have it up tomorrow." --http://twitter.com/dblasphemy/status/114889942588604416

This guy does amazing work.  I have been using his wallpapers for about 10 years now and have never been disappointed.  Some of the most creative artwork I have ever seen.  I highly recommend you check out his work.  I was a member for a few years and the small fee is definitely worth it to gain access to the entire collection.  I started using his artwork because I have multiple monitors and he was the only one who had (good) wallpaper to span my multi monitor setup.  At first I was using the 2 screen setup but quickly expanded to 3, 4 and all the way up to 6 monitors. I had 3 20" flat panels,  32" LCD TV and 2 projectors. It's a pretty spectacular setup.

Germs

I couldn't even imagine the germs in these places.  Think about it: kids throwing up , snot, blood, gross band aids, lice infested hair and anything else u could imagine.  I remember hearing stories of dirty diapers found in a ball pen.  Nasty

Patent system

I'm going to patent the letter "a". Just the lower case, not the upper. Although I invented it, those shmos at Apple beat me to it. (Crap, I hope they don't sue me for patent infringement, I used it twice in writing this blog.)

Throttling

"engadgetmobile: Verizon starts 'optimizing' (read: throttling) network for the most data hungry users http://t.co/WUDk7892" --http://twitter.com/engadgetmobile/status/114911930694643712

215.6mb is what I use per week (average) and I'm data hungry. (Blogspot, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, phone sync, News, News and more news...) In a month I use roughly use 870mb. How can someone use more than double that on a cell phone? You must be tethering 24/7.

Parrot Asteroid and some of my own thoughts.

"engadget: Parrot Asteroid Android-powered car stereo hands-on http://t.co/xrjWw8ZY" --http://twitter.com/engadget/status/114690251796135939

Think of the unlimited possibilities of tetherable devices for the car.  With internet in the car you could do just about anything.  GPS would be so much better for starters. Think Google maps (always up to date) with traffic reports.  Granted many GPS units have traffic updates hut to be honest, they suck. Judging for the few that i have used, they always show the traffic after its too late (when I'm sitting in it) and the updates aren't available everywhere (mainly city areas). But too often have i come home from my parents place upstate NY and have sat in traffic in the strangest places. Anyway there's also Google latitude (know the location of your friends and family while on the move).  Audio and video streaming from your home computer or cloud server.  I could go on and on.  I believe we need more internet enabled devices for the car and it seems the easiest / cheapest way to do that is tethering to your smartphone. I imagine a fully functional PC right in the dash.

Scion iQ

If I were in the market for a 2nd car, I would totally buy one.  Granted the HP isn't great neither is the torque but I'm sure it will be fine considering the weight of the car (2127 lbs).  It looks like an incredibly fun car to drive and with a sticker price of $16k and Scion pure pricing I believe it to be a great deal.  Fully outfitted sound system, 11 airbags, 36/37mpg (on sticker, so u know its higher). I would love to have this little guy.

Ray Tracing, very cool

Nintendo head flatly denies iOS game development

"phonearena: Nintendo head flatly denies iOS game development - http://t.co/zAutZWQx" --http://twitter.com/phonearena/status/114390529155936256

Mobile games in general would b good Nintendo booster.  Don't put all your eggs in one basket with iOS.  Android development would be a smarter decision.

While on the topic of Nintendo and revenue.
Why not follow in Marvel's footsteps and start making some movies based on your characters.  The Zelda franchise alone could bring in millions upon millions (maybe even a billion) if done correctly. You could do a 3 (or more) part series.   I'm positive that many people would absolutely love a series like Zelda. It's one if the greatest stories of all time.

Are u serious? This company is insane. FUDGE YOU! This is the craziest thing I have heard.  This company should be ashamed. How dare they treat people like this.  Don't attack honest hard working people who are doing the right thing.

Samsung Galaxy Y Preview

With all these phones being pushed to market so fast one would think there should be a few good ones.  As far as I can tell the only true innovative company is HTC. HTC makes unique phones with great features.  Most of these other companies produce the same crap over and over.  Same crappy low resolution screens, 256mb RAM (512 if you are lucky) and horrible battery life.  It's all the same cookie cutter crap.  If you want to push the envelop and market a great phone then I suggest you take a lesson from an innovator like HTC.  Give the people what they want:  high resolution screens, minimum of 1024mb RAM, minimum 4 gig onboard storage at least a 4mp camera on the rear and minimum 1mp on front (none of this vga crap) and most important give us battery life.  Granted my EVO 3D (which I absolutely love) only came with a 1500 or so mah battery and it died quickly. But that was its only downfall and I do mean that. Battery was easily swappable, I bought. 4000mah from Sedio and I'm good to go.  So here ya go, another Samsung cookie cutter POS.

Making New York’s Glass Buildings Safer for Birds

"nytimes: Making New York’s Glass Buildings Safer for Birds http://t.co/w5xMnhGk" --http://twitter.com/nytimes/status/114267140781113344

This problem needs to be addressed ASAP.  birds are important for many reasons.  They eat bugs, spread seeds and help with pollination among many other things.  Save the birds people.

Facebook puts off IPO until late 2012 - FT.com

Facebook puts off IPO until late 2012 - FT.com

Hello money, goodbye everything Facebook stands for.  Facebook will become complete crap and like every other IPO, they will screw its users and cater to investors. When this happens it will be a sad sad day for everyone (unless of course you are an investor).
I'm glad it was delayed, but it is coming :(

Should Sprint Try to Buy T-Mobile if the AT&T Deal Fails?

Should Sprint Try to Buy T-Mobile if the AT&T Deal Fails? » Sprintfeed

No, only if they were CDMA otherwise it doesn't make any sense. A Sprint / Verizon team up would be cool, but that would never happen. (Even tho I believe it should)
