It is Time for a Microsoft Boom!

There are a lot of haters and just plain negative feelings towards Microsoft these days. Their stock just sits in the mid-20s while Apple and Google explore the 300-500 range while making the same amount of revenue as Microsoft.  People just generally have a bad taste or a boring aura around the brand. Well, I think it is time for people to be optimistic about what Microsoft is about to do in the consumer market, and here is why.

HP WebOS#!^

The merger of HP and Palm was anything but smooth. Having purchased products from both companies I thought something great would happen. I thought Palm would now have what it needed to be become great again. Boy, I could not have been more wrong. Read my thoughts on why we should have seen the downfall of Palm.



So the last 48 hours has been quite a busy time for tech enthousiasts. On the wake of Google buying Motorola HP is now ditching the WebOS hardware devision it just purchased 1 yr ago. Below is a sad and very dry earnings call by HP announcing the death of WebOS.

Grid OS, Like Tron Grid?

So I had to show you guys this wacky new thing that is going to hit the market.

Laptops for Cheap Yo!

Well, these days everyone wants to save money so all of these people asking for laptops all wanted something low cost. Hence the reason for this post.

Does My Phone Have a Virus On It

 

Here is a question I have heard a lot over the years. The answer is ... meh I dunno. No OS on the market tells us tech guys what is causing the lag, power cycle, or just random crash you are experiencing on your phone. So if anyone has told you the smartphone in your hands is being destroyed by malware, they really don't know. Below I have linked a great article Lookout Mobile Security just published.

Look Another Tech Blogger, AHHH!

So what makes me so great? Another tech blogger? Why should I read your stuff?

Ok, I know the number of tech bloggers in America could literally support a city the size of Charleston, SC. I know there is fierce competition. I know I really need to be different. So let me make a case for myself.

I am not a journalist. I did not focus on writing first and then happen to have tech as a focus. I have a true passion for technology and how it effects our culture. Today all these blogs are trying to scoop the next device and break a big story. This blog is not to scoop stuff.

I think I just puked a little bit
