If you have been hanging out on Twitter lately, chances you have come across this video about Apple fanboys (NSFW language). I cannot remember a video that made me laugh as much as that one did. I was therefore excited to watch this new one, made with the same platform and quite possibly the same person.

The First Truly Interactive Ad in a Newspaper! (VIDEO)
This is up there with the coolest uses of modern technology that I have ever seen. You need to watch this video to believe what Axa, a Belgium insurance company, did to promote their iPhone app.
A New Nokia N8 Promo Video
Nokia is a mobile manufacturer that causes a lot of heated debate. On the one hand, due to their tremendous presence in emerging markets, they have the largest market share in the mobile industry. On the other hand, many will claim that while the N95 was great in its time, the company has not innovated much since. Nokia’s stubborn philosophy of sticking with Symbian and not moving on to something bigger and better like let’s say Android, or even Maemo might b e viewed as a big mistake with all the advanced mobile operating systems out there.
7 Reasons to Get a Samsung Galaxy Tab over an iPad
The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been making waves in the early adopter community. It might not be the first tablet to run Google’s mobile operating system, Android, but it definitely the most significant one coming from an industry giant like Samsung. Now that there have been a few videos of the Tab in action as well as some initial reviews, I don’t think anyone denies the fact the Tab is an impressive device on all fronts. What seems to be the debate is iPad or Tab.
Mio Moov S505: A GPS I Would Have Liked to Love
It’s been well over two months since I was asked to review my latest acquisition, the S505 navigation system from Mio. Things came up and I just didn’t get around to it until now, and it’s a good thing too, because had I written this review after a couple of days of driving along my usual routes and around my home town, I would have churned out just one more raving review of this product to add to the hundreds already out there on the web.
Scobleizer on Google, Facebook, Location, iPad, and Android
As you might have noticed, I have been trying to land interviews with some of the main people that inspired me over the years, mainly in the tech space. Robert Scoble has to be number one on that list. The guy is a legend in the tech world yet he does not let it go to his head at all and spends time talking to people like me on Twitter and even IM. He is one of the nicest people I have met in the industry, and that in and of itself is amazing given everything he has accomplished. Yes, most people of his stature will not give the little person the time of day.

The exact details are a bit vague, but what we do know is that there will be a limited number of these sold and they will be on the market in August. So what is so great about the Libretto that possibly revolutionizes the notebook computer?
Google Enters the TV Industry with Google TV
Google made some nice announcements at their recent IO. Android 2.2, dubbed Froyo seems pretty exciting especially the ability to push contacts, apps, media, and even URLs to your Android device, over the air. However, the most significant announcement was definitely Google TV. It seems every few months I write a blog post that can be called “Google Trying to Revolutionize the
Top 10 iPad Apps
It’s official. The iPad is a huge success. In its first month on the market, Apple has sold a cool 1,000,000 units. This is an impressive number, given that the device has only been available in the United States, but even more important is the fact that 12 million iPad apps have been downloaded. That’s an average of 12 apps per user in 30 days. With over 5,000 iPad apps to choose from, which apps should you download? Here is my list of the ten best iPad apps.
The Apple iPad: iSuccess or iFlop?
The wait is finally over. Sort of. Early on Wednesday, Apple unveiled its long-rumored tablet computer, the iPad, and announced that it would start shipping at the end of March.Is this the reinvention of portable computing as we know it? Probably not, but it’s too early to draw any firm conclusions. Let’s take a a moment to step away from the famous Steve Jobs reality distortion field and evaluate what we know so far.
iPad: What Is It and How Would I Use It? Anyone?
This might be the most difficult post I have ever written. I am literally forcing myself to write these words. The reason I am finding it so difficult about the iPad is two fold. For starters, I do not know my own opinion yet. On the one hand, there is no denying it is a beautiful product like only Apple knows how to make.

I am sorry to be the millionth person to say this, but with the addition of a faster processor and some new software capabilities, the iPad is a giant iPod. But is that really so bad? You starting to get why this is a challenging topic for me?
