Slate

Posted in Video on April 5th, 2010

The HP Slate gets a little more personal in this latest teaser. With a Camera, an SD Slot, Skype, a Dock, and iTunes intergration, this thing is starting to look sweet. I want to get my hands on it, and hack it up.
It’s expected to drop in June with a price below $600.

UPDATE: So HP bought Palm, and cancelled the Slate. Expect a WebOS tablet beauty later this year.

Lindsay’s latest single, “Struck.”

The song has classic pop beats, but isn’t really radically different from her older works. The lyrics definitely mirroring her ongoing personal struggles.

Hello There!

In His Own Words

Posted in Words on March 23rd, 2010

While Palm is incredibly proud of our engineers who spent timeless work and effort to bring us this advanced operating system, consumers simply have not caught on. To provide a better future for ourselves and our customers, the only logical choice is to transition our hardware and software to the Android platform.

Rihanna’s updated version of her hit, “Disturbia,” preformed during last month’s AOL “Rude Boy” Sessions.

It’s good. Really good. Almost better than the original, although the dancability factor is basically gone.

Justin Bieber’s new single, “Somebody to Love,” off the second part of his debut album, “My World 2.0.”

I never caught Bieber Fever, and I’m not saying I have, I’m just saying the songs pretty good, other than the fact that he sounds like a girl on a few notes. I just pretend there female backers.

Don’t Look Down

Well you can, but I can’t promise it’ll be pretty. I recently migrated from Tumblr to WordPress. The transition went pretty smooth, but some things are still missing or broke.

Sara Lily: DID YOU SEE IT?!?!
Me: If by it, you meant something divine, and by something divine I mean the new “Telephone” video, then yes.

Ubuntu’s New Look

Posted in Pictures on March 3rd, 2010

Ubuntu is prepping a new version of it’s Linux Operating System, Lucid Lynx. With it, the company is launching a complete “Light” based re-branding effort; new logo, new website, new themes. I find it a nice refresh from the dark, earthen tone in past releases. Lucid will be released to the public later next month.

GNOME Shell

Posted in Pictures on March 2nd, 2010

GNOME 3.0 is expected to drop later this year, and bring with it a radically different UX called Gnome Shell.

I hadn’t tried it out until recently, but all I read was generally negative reviews. People where upset that it would be a resource hog, and that the original GNOME Panel interface was gone forever. First off, any computer made within the past five years will fly with Gnome Shell, second, if you want to be stubborn, and live in the past, the two panel GNOME 2.0 setup will still be available.

Gnome Shell features a single top panel with familiar things like a clock and notification area. The big change is that Gnome Main Menu has been replaced with an “Activities” button. When clicked, or hot cornered, it brings up the desktop overview, pictured above. This overview allows users to launch programs, directories, recent documents, etc. A unified search will query for both files and applications. Users will also be able to add and remove virtual workspaces, and move applications between them.

Yes, its different. Give it a chance, change is good.
