New York Pics. ~3/13/10

Just thought I'd post some pics from my recent trip to NYC. I got some pictures from the Lomography Store in the West Village.

T-Mobile UK ~ orange™ Merger ~3/2/10

So, I'm reading Engadget today and find an article written about the UK cell phone carriers Orange™ and T-Mobile UK. Naturally I clicked on it to see what it was about since I am a T-Mobile USA customer. And, lone-and-behold, Orange™ and T-Mobile UK are merging their companies to become the largest carrier in the UK. I was slightly disappointed that T-Mobile had decided to merge with Orange™ because from what I've heard from people in the UK is that Orange™ SUCKS. Telekom-Mobile (T-Mobile) should have not merged with Orange™ because it would not only lessen T-Mobile's international coverage map but, T-Mobile would fall in the rankings of the top 30 largest mobile service providers (it is currently number 7 worldwide). The T-Mobile~Orange™ merger would also cause problems for Virgin Mobile, a worldwide mobile carrier that piggybacks off of T-Mobile's international network. People in the UK who have Virgin Mobile would possibly have to sign up for a two year contact with the merged carrier instead of keeping their Virgin Mobile prepaid phones. T-Mobile has always been the best carrier in customer support, devices, and worldwide coverage. Why would Deutsche Telekom merge even one branch of their company with another company most UK consumers already hate?

Google and βeta products ~2/10/10

Yesterday you probably heard that Google announced Buzz, a new social network-like product within its Gmail service. Google, quite frankly, is loving the ability to excite users about products that really have no true relevance in the business or social media world. I have tried both Wave and Buzz and as good as they work, Buzz can't be used like Twitter to advertise a product and Wave, until its released, can't be used by whole companies. But, hey! If they work well and are free, I'll try 'em. I'll try to get some pics of Wave and Buzz soon.

What's the real difference... ~1/9/10

Between an app an a mobile page? When I go to Facebook or Twitter their apps seem just like the mobile version of their site. I don't exactly get why social networking apps are favored against the basic mobile site because chances are that if you have a smartphone, you have a data plan. Use the mobile site for god sake! Use http://mobile.twitter.com/ for twittering on the go.

Because life is like that. ~1/2/10

Hello Voxers! First off Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! Pardon my spelling errors because I am blogging this from my new cellphone: the Motorola Cliq! I'll be doing a review of it in 2 months. Why? Because I'm lazy!!! I have to say, today life seems to hate me. All of my friends are away or otherwise engaged and I found out that Motorola is releasing another Droid for Verizon (I'm on T-Mobile) and this phone will have Motoblur. The same user interface as MY PHONE!!!! Most of my friends are on Verizon and have the original Droid but when they see this they'll get it. The problem is that this phone not only will work like mine but, also look almost identical to mine! I like to be different so when I heard about this I was mad!

Christmas ~12/18/09

It's Christmas time and everybody is stressed about what to buy and how they're gonna celebrate the holidays. Today, most people have forgotten about what they are supposed to celebrate during Christmas: the birth of our lord. Not everything during this holiday season is about being with relatives and gifts. Though, very few people celebrate this holiday like it was meant to be. I'm no extremist, I even consider my self as an agnostic but, Christmas has become more of a buffet for the economy than a holiday of religious celbration.
