hspa1.jpgAbout a week an half ago (October 10) TELUS Inc. announced that they will be upgrading their network to the next stage in CDMA technology which is called HSPA. To many TELUS followers dismay they will not be changing to  the ever popular GSM, BUT (and that is a big BUT) most cell phone carriers will be switching over to HSPA technology in the near future also. So take that ROGERS and FIDO.

before and afterI got an IPHONE over 6 months ago…never had I used such a cool but annoying thing in my life… its cool for about 72 hours then the coolness fades on you… I found a great article on GIZMODO that truly documents what I’m talking about:

GIZMODO ARTICLE

8-12-08-jeep_internet_car.jpgIt has finally arrived…we will now be able to subscribe to wireless internet for our car! Now you don’t have to wait to get home to perform your WoW raids…you can raid all the way home! Wait a minute isn’t that too dangerous? Well who cares about the road and highway safety guidelines – this is WIFI on the fly!

The other day I heard on the radio that Chrysler will be coming out with WIFI internet for cars. So I did all this research on the net checking out ENDGADGET, TWICE, CRUNCH GEAR and more geek driven sites and to my pleasure it’s true.

Chrysler motors announced earlier this year that it would be providing 2009 models of certain vehicles with internet capabilities. Well earlier this month they announced that they will begin selling this feature as early as August 25 of this year.

I wanted to bring another amazing site to your attention. The site is TED.com.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. The annual conference now brings together the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives.

This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 200 talks from their archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted. Like the one below. If you believe in any humanitarian causes or love entertainment and technology this site is a must see.

ipodtouchSince MP3′s, WinAmp, Napster, iPods and the like, the Music industry has been in trouble. Fewer people are buying Music CDs and more are downloading songs and albums. The Recording Industry sees declining revenues year in and year out. They’re also not the only ones complaining. Both the PC and Console game markets are seeing declines in sales due to pirating. The movie industry is trying to crack down on the number of illegal movie downloads to no avail.
