Magical and Revolutionary?
Apr 18th
I have now had my iPad for one full week. I must say I absolutely love this device. The display is gorgeous. The larger screen size allows for easier typing as well as viewing. Yes, it’s basically a really big iPhone or iPod Touch — and it’s completely worth it! Even the battery life is impressive. iBooks is a great way to read an eBook, and I may even start reading more now because of it. I’m also looking forward to more of my favorite iPhone apps being ported over to the iPad. AND where else could you get The More >
A Picture A Day
Mar 1st
One of my more recent interests has been photography. I’ve always liked it, but I am now really getting into it thanks to a wedding I helped shoot with my girlfriend (you can follow her at www.fotozenphotography.com, and @fotozen). I didn’t think I would have so much fun spending 9 hours taking pictures, but it was a great experience! So a few days after the wedding, I went out and bought a better camera since I wanted more control over various settings. So I picked up a Nikon D3000 for just under $500. Great price, great camera.
I’ve been learning the More >
Sexless iPhone Apps?
Feb 22nd
In a recent article from TiPB.com, “5000 Sex-based iPhone Apps Removed…“, it appears that Apple has laid down the law regarding Apps having any form of sexual content. Really? Based on my most recent visit to the app store, just an hour ago, this doesn’t appear to be the case. Apple’s inconsistencies with respect to the App store continue. Ok, there are a few problems with this new policy (I’m sure there are more than just a few…but I’m only going to discuss a few).
Firstly, why not implement this policy across the board? As I write this, I can still More >
Digital “LP” or Digital “45″ – Which would you buy?
Jul 28th
In a recent article I read on Wired.com “Apple and Lables Hope to Reinvent Digital Album as Something People Buy“, they discuss how Apple and the major music labels are working on increasing full album sales, rather than the current single track that have been the staple of digital music retailers. I’m old enough to have seen quite a few format mediums come and go — I even remember 8-tracks! I was very excited when CD’s came out — I could now just forward or rewind to my favorite tracks on the album! No more fast forwarding or rewinding in More >
“RingCentral offers self-service VoIP phone system”…*Yawn*
Jul 20th
I like to stay on top of the Tech News as much as possible, especially when that news is Mobile or Telecom related. Therefore, I was excited to see the headline “RingCentral offers self-service VoIP phone system” in my FierceVoIP email newsletter. I hadn’t heard anything from RingCentral in a while, so it was about time they made some news. Upon reading the press release, I felt somewhat robbed in that this announcement was far from exciting and new. They’re offering a 4-line self-service VoIP system, with their usual set of features. That’s it? That’s their news of the day? More >
My iPhone 3GS – Ooh Shiny!
Jun 30th
The original title of this post was going to be “iPhone 3GS: To Upgrade or Not To Upgrade”; however, while at the mall, I couldn’t resist the temptation any longer. My tech lust got the best of me (and got the best of my lovely girlfriend who actually purchased the phone for me – Thank you My Love!). Before upgrading, I weighed heavily the pros and cons, thinking that most of the “ooh shiny” new features were mostly part of the OS 3.0 update. After having the new 3GS, I still think many of the “ooh shiny” features are part More >
Welcome to TechnoRogue.com
Mar 3rd
Greetings! Welcome to TechnoRogue.com, a blog dedicated to technology, and the rogue in all of us. In this blog, you’ll find links to various blogs/articles on technology, gadgets, telecommunications, etc., and my opinion/rants on them. Also, as a major fan (some may say “zealot”) of the iPhone and all the apps available, I will probably spend some time covering the iPhone, apps, and Apple. Don’t worry, I’m still a PC guy at heart
Also, as a practicing “musician” and aspiring “artist”, I’ll be including links, articles, and entries on music, photography and drawing. Enjoy your stay!
