Leap 3D Motion Control

Evan — Tue, 22 May 2012 00:48:28 +0000

Microsoft Kinect was only the beginning of natural human-machine interaction.

Leap Motion, a startup in motion control has debuted the latest in motion control technology. It’s 100 times more accurate than the XBox Kinect (0.01mm accuracy). It’s only a matter of time before I am waiving through useless television channels. Seriously, this is very [...]

Airline Industry to Broadband Industry, look at me now?

Evan — Fri, 11 May 2012 01:01:18 +0000

Timothy Lee from Ars Technica posted an excellent article comparing the pre-deregulated airline industry to today’s broadband marketplace. The similarities are astounding.

By separating the airports from the airlines, regulators ensured that airport monopolies didn’t undermine competition in the airline market. In principle, this is a good model for the telecommunications market, and it’s [...]

The Samsung Galaxy SIII

Evan — Thu, 10 May 2012 03:33:35 +0000

After a shakey, somewhat weird launch event, Samsung’s latest flagship looks to be slowly winning and hearts and minds of people everywhere.

I’ll admit, I was quite the skeptic in regards to the Samsung Galaxy SIII and its highly customized TouchWiz software. The more actual hands on articles and previews I’ve read, the more I come [...]

Hello Node.js

Evan — Thu, 10 May 2012 02:03:23 +0000

Imagine downloading a library, creating a file, executing that file, and having a web server up….all in 5 minutes. Say hello to Node.js.

I’ve recently been seeking new ways to rapidly develop new and exciting web services. I have a couple prototypes running on Apache and Tomcat servers. I began looking for something new. [...]

Tether Without a Tethering Plan [Verizon Galaxy Nexus]

Evan — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:37:44 +0000

So, I randomly stumbled up this gem.

Note: Please review your wireless contract. I’d bet this violates your contract, so I am not responsible for any additional charges on your phone bill.

First, as many of you know, you can turn your Android device (Android 2.2+) into a WiFi hotspot. Most Android devices [...]

It’s been real AT&T Uverse

Evan — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 17:47:06 +0000

In the past two and half years, I’ve turned from an enthusiastic Uverse user to a pretty bitter one.

When Uverse first came to my neighborhood, it brought all the promises of IPTV (and the NFL Network). The whole house DVR was a great feature (when I had more than one TV)…not to mention [...]

Open Innovation Centers & Code Reuse

Evan — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 02:40:18 +0000

I posted this on my Google+ page earlier this week and thought it should be reposted here for those who haven’t circled me.

Read up on open innovation centers and code reuse. The Android Open Source Project is a great example of that. Allows contributions from anyone which serves the greater good of [...]

Daily Highlights #26: You can tap it in the morning…

Evan — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 04:18:14 +0000

“You can tap it in the morning. You can tap it at night. You can tap it in the bath room”.

Google you win April Fools.

And for an encore…Google Maps for Nintendo.

Open Source Google Reader Code

Evan — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 02:11:34 +0000

So I was going to port Speeed Reader to Android…..

…but there are already some good Google Reader apps for Android. I just didn’t have the desire to create another me too Google Reader app. So I’ve posted the code I have done at GitHub.

There some pretty examples of getting account permissions [...]

[Good Read] The economy: programming is the problem, and the solution

Evan — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 17:05:36 +0000

“The first thing to understand is that it is critical that a broader spectrum of society become creators of technology instead of consumers of it.”

This piece (The economy: programming is the problem, and the solution) by Hank Williams hits on some good points. In essence he explains the impact of software [...]

Microsoft Windows 8 in Practice [Video]

Evan — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:21:10 +0000

Windows 8 may make people go straight for a “The New iPad”.

Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome records a video of his day using a PC with Windows 8 installed. Pretty telling. I don’t doubt that this will drive people in similar circumstances to just go get a “The New iPad”.

GitHub

Evan — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 03:34:44 +0000

I’ve joined another social network.

Yep, but this one is actually pretty productive. I have setup a GitHub account. I will be uploading code, software projects, and other programmatical ideas I want to share. I have thousands upon thousand of lines of code sitting in many other private code repositories waiting to be shared [...]

The Patent Pledge

Evan — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:44:17 +0000

No first use of software patents against companies with less than 25 people.

I stumbled up Paul Graham’s website last night looking for information and advice for people trying to start a startup. Passively, I am, assuming I can choose a problem to solve. I think Paul Graham hits the nail on the head [...]

HTC One X

Evan — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 01:42:03 +0000

Mobile World Congress 2021 Day 0 kicked off today. We saw announcements from Sony, Huawei, Viewsonic, Sony, and LG….but my favorite announcement was from HTC.

HTC is was a powerhouse in mobile devices….stretching all the way back to Windows Mobile devices. Unfortunately, they’ve fallen in many aspects….design, software, support, etc. The HTC [...]

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Evan — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:42:30 +0000

In this case, its probably worth a few hundred million, maybe a billion for Qualcomm. AnandTech gives Qualcomm’s new SoC, the Snapdragon S4 (Krait), a spin. It does impress.

I have often considered the Samsung Exynos dual core SoC used in the Galaxy SII to be the best chipset you can get in a [...]

I gotta double up on the nerd points with the Star Trek and Windows BSOD reference.

AT&T UVerse HD Quality vs. Everything Else [Analogy]

Evan — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:54:24 +0000

So I posted a couple of Google+ messages on my Google+ page. (Add me to your circle today!)

The messages were:

1 – The advent of the digital age means our lives are so compressed. I’m not letting these hi-fidelity vinyl LPs or VHS tapes go.

2 – Th advnt of the dgtl age [...]

A Few Comparison Shots

Evan — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:43:27 +0000

I am just posting a couple of comparison shots I took today. It’s hard to replicate shooting conditions and angles, so just take this for what it is…an informal comparison.

You can click on each image to open the full sized image. I used the default settings for all the shots I’ve taken here.
