Warning: If you don’t want to read a geeked-out in-depth review of a cell phone, turn away now. No, seriously. Unless you’re getting ready to pick up a new one and like Sprint, this isn’t the post for you. Afterwards we will continue your normally scheduled broadcasts.
As I recently posted, Shauna and I picked up [...]

As a first-time smartphone buyer, I really didn’t know what I was looking for when I picked up my Motorola Q9c a couple of years ago. All of my research centered around the checkbox features of the phone delivered at the price it was offered for. To be fair, getting a smartphone with a keyboard, [...]

You need to come up with better ideas than everyone else to be the best at what you do and win the hearts of your customers. Inevitably, though, companies will fall into the trap of thinking that they can simply rest upon [...]

Up until this weekend, I used it primarily to share links and get customer service escalation as well as easily exchange short messages with friends. During General Conference, though, I found out that [...]

One of the few shortcomings of my phone has been an inability to send MMS messages, an odd thing for a phone with pretty much every feature known to man. It's not been much of a problem for me, though I found recently that it meant I couldn't directly upload mobile pictures or videos from [...]

Apparently 7% of you are woefully unprepared for the switch from analog to digital over-the-air TV signals on February 17, 2009.

I've finally caved into social pressure and decided to fully embrace Web 2.0. Last night, I signed up for a Facebook account. I went whole-hog tonight by signing up for Digg and Twitter, resurrecting my Delicious account and creating a group on LinkedIn. I figure it's time to fully experience all of these social networking [...]

I had the following conversation with a co-worker today:
Co-worker: Hey, uh…do you guys have a magical utility that emails reports? Something we don't know about? Me: Yes. It also ejects Pop Tarts from the floppy drive, if you have one. Otherwise it spits Red Vines out of the unused USB ports. Co-worker: Oh, sweet!!!! Me: [...]

Shauna and I decided that we wanted to watch a streaming movie from Netflix tonight and found a title that seemed pretty interesting. I went ahead and loaded it up only to be met with a message that our Internet connection was too slow to start watching it immediately and that we'd have to wait [...]
