The Amazon Cloud Player: Another Reason to Love Amazon!

by cwhitmore | Posted March 29th, 2011 at 12:08 am

They’ve been in a the business of selling music (and other things) for a while. Earlier this month Amazon launched their Android App Store but they’ve just stepped up their game again.  Taking on Apple and Google, Amazon just launched it’s very own music streaming service.  The Amazon Cloud Player lets you shop 15 million songs and play your music on any Android device, PC or Mac.  Existing customers in the US can now upload their MP3 purchases to their 5GB cloud space and if 5GB isn’t enough you can upgrade to a one-year 20GB plan for FREE when you purchase an MP3 album.

Pretty sweet stuff if you ask me…  Where you at Google Music?

Meet the HTC Flyer

by cwhitmore | Posted February 16th, 2011 at 7:23 pm

It’s no secret that this is the year of the tablet and it was just a matter of time before HTC jumped in the pool. Meet the new HTC Flyer ($TBA).  It’s running Android 2.4 with the Sense UI and features a seven-inch touchscreen with 1024×600 resolution, a 1.5 GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage with microSD expansion……   [catching breath]  ……HSPA+/GSM cellular connectivity, a five megapixel rear camera with auto focus, a 1.3 megapixel front camera, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP.  That should be enough to take on the iPad right?  I can’t wait to get this!

I also could help but notice that it didn’t have Honeycomb so thats a little sad but it does has Skype video calls.  I think this is the gadget Jason has been looking for.

So if you were one of the cool kids this Christmas and got one of those fancy new 3D TVs (I was not) you might be wondering what to do now.  Well you can grab the new Sony Handycam HDR-TD10 3D Camcorder ($1,500) and go back to those home video days recording everything YOU think is awesome.  This new beast is touting the ability to shoot full 1080p 3D video, the TD10 also sports an integrated dual Sony G lens system, two Exmor R CMOS sensors, two BIONZ image processors, 64GB of internal flash memory, Optical SteadyShot image stabilization, 10x optical zoom, and a glasses-free 3.5-inch 3D LCD touchscreen.  WoW… thats ridiculous!  …and yes, I’m still bitter.

S-Biner Ahhh: My new keyring

by cwhitmore | Posted January 13th, 2011 at 10:10 pm

I’ve been in the market for a new keyring and though the S-Biner Ahh ($4) isn’t quite a “ring”, I think it will do the trick.  Sure it’s an S-Biner and can be used for all kinds of multifunctional stuff… my keys, water bottles, camping gear, clipping things together… you get the picture.  However, as you couldn’t miss by the picture, the most important note about this masterpiece is its also a bottle opener. (hence the “Ahhh”)

The S-Biner Ahh by Nite Ize comes in black and stainless. Get your’s here and check out their other cool stuff.  I’ll be expecting mine to arrive just in time for Beer:30!

Sled in style with the Porsche Design Bobsleigh

by cwhitmore | Posted December 20th, 2010 at 9:48 pm

It’s that time of year again.  I’m not talking about the holidays though, I’m talking about ridiculous winter weather.  Ice storms, blizzards and last but not least snow days!  What better way to spend that snow day then hauling ass past someone on the Porsche Design Bobsleigh ($165).  You may die because you’re going so fast but you’ll look freakn’ awesome doing it.

I think I’m going to have to add this to the Freakn’ Sweet wish list!

11 Year Old Dunks (Adrian Moore)

by peckelkamp | Posted December 12th, 2010 at 1:56 am

So apparently this eleven year old from Little Rock, Arkansas can dunk.  I couldn’t dunk till I was 15.  That qualifies as Freakn’ Sweet in my book.

A new green file format: WWF

SAVE AS WWF, SAVE A TREE   Thats the pitch behind the new green file format called WWF.  It’s essentially a PDF that can’t be printed out.

It’s a simple way to avoid unnecessary printing. So here’s your chance to save trees and help the environment. Decide for yourself which documents don’t need printing out – then simply save them as WWF.

The WWF file format is currently only available on Mac but they have a Windows version coming soon.  Check it out and let us know what you think?  Will you use it?  I first have to stop thinking of wrestling every time I hear it…
