How the Google Nexus One was created

I said it before, and I'll say it again. The Nexus One will be my next phone. Take a look at the process that took place to create it, straight form the mouth of those who helped put it together...

Snow Leopard to be released this week

Since getting a Mac Book Pro I have become an Apple fan faster than I ever imagined. I have used Microsoft Windows for as long as I have used computers and I was hesitant to convert to a Mac. But work called for one so I was forced to take the plunge.

And I am glad I did.

I am not going to get into the whole Mac vs. PC debate for fear of starting a lame back and forth of why one is better than the other (but I will say I have seen the light). what I will do is let you know that the latest version of the Mac operating system will be available this Friday.

An upgrade to Snow Leopard is available for pre-sale on Amazon for as low as $29, depending on what version you desire. Compare this with the prices for Microsoft Windows 7 and it seems that Mac is clearly the way to go.

Use what you will!

I could be mistaken...

...but I feel as if I have seen this design before.Anybody recognize it?

Above is the new sansa Fuze Series MP3 Player from SanDisk. It holds 2 GB and costs $79.99 for the black version, or $99.99 for a 4 GB player in black, blue, red, or pink version. An 8GB version is available in silver for $129.99.

It looks like the headphone jack is on the front of the unit as well, which would just be too strange to comprehend.

It was only a matter of time, right?

If you have been keeping track of the latest format war between BluRay and HD-DVD, it should come as no surprise to you that Toshiba has officially annoucned it is ceasing production of HD-DVD units. Toshiba was the last leg HD-DVD had to stand on and with the company out of the picture things are looking good for Sony, who is the brain behind the BR format. Then today Universal announced it was switching over to the BR format.

Paramount; You are next.

I have not yet witnessed either format in person except for whatever may be on display at a Circuit City or Best Buy, but I will say that BR is especially nice while still expensive. With the Playstation 3 being one of the cheapest BR players out there I would expect the PS3 to start making some headway in the console wars as well.

I'm not about to go out and buy any kind of BR player yet. They are still too expensive (as are the discs), but the price should be down enough in time for Christmas if anybody wants me to get a nice gift for me.

Toshiba got Knocked Out!

On an unrelated note, Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs single game tickets go on sale March 1 at 9am, including remaining tickets for the exhibition against the defending National League East Division Champions!
