GPad G10 hits market, iPad scoffs

I’m a bit of an anti-Appleite, due mainly to the unfazed and (mostly) uneducated enthusiasm that all Apple fanboys seem to have over every Apple product that comes off the line. Even more so, my wholehearted disagreement with their stance on Flash, alongside their rigid and totalitarian policies regarding the app store, only go to [...]

QR Codes (with a hint of Verizon anger)

Primo: my short rant. I am a huge fan of the Droid OS. Why would Verizon tell me that my Droid X, which I ordered first thing yesterday morning, had shipped (on all 3 of my follow up calls) when it really hadn’t?? Now I have to wait until their inventory is replenished, when I [...]

Really?

I just received the following friend request. I can’t say there’s anything I admire about this tactic, and I can’t believe that it could in any way be effective. Have any of you ever received something like this? Maybe I’m behind the trend here, but I wish there were 75 different ways to mark this [...]

Chat Roulette: Another Form of Social Media Moolah? [VIDEO]

To skip straight to the video documentation of my scientific research, click here. I first heard about Chat Roulette about a month  ago. Since then, about 20% of the people I know have tried it out at least once. For the uninitiated, Chat Roulette is an even mixture of exciting, random, creepy, and desperate. You [...]

Should Fan Page Owners Send Company Updates?

Not too long ago, two friends of mine opened up their own Real Estate Brokerage in the NYC Metro area. Since then, they have shown all the signs of doing everything right: business plans, heavy recruiting, social media engagement, and so on. It was only natural that, in order to show my support, I join [...]

The Future of Print

I came across this video this morning and thought I’d share. Since the decline of print, the world has been wondering what traditional print mediums will do to survive. This looks like a very interesting answer. There is a thorough amount of interactivity, the information streams, and there is no more waiting in the mail [...]

Web 3.0 Smackdown!

It seems that Web 3.0, alongside what 3.0 will ultimately be, is increasingly becoming the topic du jour. Steven Groves, author of The Social Media Bible, is hosting a Lucha Libre themed Web 3.0 Smackdown event on Tuesday, November 24th at 1:00PM EST. You can tune into the mayhem at BlogTalkRadio’s website. Participants will include [...]

The Symbiotic Relationship of 2009?

It’s no big secret: print mediums are hurting. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to learn of Esquire Magazine’s latest experiment. The December 2009 issue features a form of augmented reality. It’s interesting in that the line become reader and user is blurred when this issue is used as intended. With Robert Downey Jr. [...]

Bing vs. Google: The most striking blow yet

In the land of search, Google is king. There is no doubting that, and there has been no room to doubt that for quite some time now. However, with the rise in popularity of Twitter, Facebook, and other social applications, Google has not been able to rule the realm of real-time.

Buyer Beware: This house is haunted

As Halloween approaches, I thought this nice little bit of historical litigation was appropriate. In the 1991 case, Stambovsky v. Ackley, the New York Supreme Court ruled that the would-be purchaser of a home in Nyack, NY be reimbursed his initially forfeited down payment. Why? Because the house was haunted, of course.
