My personal thoughts and pics. |
I just got a email saying that my nook shipped today. This is 9 days early. I might have it before the weekend is over.
I thought NBC would pay Conan to go away and let Leno take over the Tonight Show again. I did not think that Conan would let the Tonight Show get pushed back 30 minutes and stay on as if nothing happened. NBC has too much invested in Leno to let him be the one let go. Now the big question does Leno regain his late night audience or is small shadow of it's former self? Does Conan go to one of the other networks for a late night show? I think he might choose to go to a cable network. Does Letterman and Ferguson at CBS come out the big winners? Or could ABC create the one two show punch after nightline or move nightline to after Kimmel and Conan?
I just ordered a nook from Barnes and Noble. It should be here soon. I now need to pick out a cover for it. What book should I order first for it?
I got windows 7 up and running but the monitor resolution won't go to the full 1920 x 1080 without stretching past the sides. I have set it to 1680 x 1050 and this fits with the taskbar being fully visible.
I will need to find out why the acer monitor which is recognized does not go up to the full resolution.
I got the $299 compaq desktop that is on sale at Staples this week. I now have a windows 7 computer. It will replace my 4 year old desktop celeron. I now have a dual core desktop. I think this will help with video transcoding. I am thinking about doing some stuff for youtube and a couple of websites I am starting. Part of my new year's resolutions were to blog more regularly and start a podcast.
It looks like whatever Apple has been cooking up will be revealed next week. Will they call it a tablet or give it a new name? What will the need be that they say the tablet will answer.
I think we will get a peek at least at iPhone OS 4, if not released because the new device requires it. I am thinking of getting a new phone I guess I need to wait until next Wednesday.
Latest rumors put the tablet's price at $1000 does this mean the macbook goes away. I thought it would come in between the top of the line touch and the mackbook which would be $700.
I guess the last update for Jolicloud sorta fixed the mic issue I was having. This is on an HP mini 1000. I just have to set the input source to Line In once I start up. This is done from volume control ==> options, then properties if it is not shown. I now have to see if a bluetooth headset works.
It looks like I will eligible for an iphone upgrade just in time for the new iphone that comes out every year. With video coming to the Palm Pre
that is starting to look interesting especially with the everything data plans. Some of the Android phones look interesting also. So many choices?
We tested out Google Wave at Broadway Brewery tonight. It seems like a virtual whiteboard.
Otherwise wondering about the use for it.
