Further into the android ecosystem.
After migrating to the Note 4 from the iPhone a few years back I decided to try the Galaxy Tab S 3 as a replacement for my aging iPad. I figured that the Samsung phone was an able replacement for the iPhone, why not the S 3? It’s been two years now with the S3 […]
Turning off a trackpad in Linux
My new HP Spectre laptop is good, but the touch pad is huge and the linux palm detection or turn off the trackpad when typing setting doesn’t work well. For a few months I had to type slowly and carefully in order to not send the mouse across the screen or worse, move the cursor […]
The new Pokemon GO game has been released in the U.S. and it seems to be a pretty fun idea. The augmented reality game connects with a Google Maps like system (could very well be Maps itself) to give the player a real world space to explore and look for pokemon. I can help but […]

Note4 vs iPhone almost a year in
It’s been almost a year since I switch from the Apple iPhone to the Samsung Note. I rarely use my iPad anymore unless I’m playing one of the board games that I have previously purchased from the Apple App store. Many of the things I thought I would miss from the Apple ecosystem just aren’t […]

Just like iTunes music that gets tied to your computer the Keurig 2.0 system will only brew drinks from licensed pod makers. That means kiss those lower cost pods at Wal-Mart good bye. If […]

Second look at the Playstation Vita
Back in February I wrote here that I’d be waiting until a price drop for the Vita. Well the Assassin’s Creed bundle basically did that for me. I got a 4G memory card, the AC3 game, and the Vita for the MSRP of just the Vita alone. The machine is amazing with all sorts of interesting ways […]
