Google TV – You should buy it, just not yet…

January 11, 2012 By
Google TV is headed to your living room, whether you like it or not

I recently purchased the Logitech Revue with Google TV. I absolutely love it. It's one of the coolest ways to interact with TV to date, and offers the best overall interface for digesting internet streams as well. It is not as simple and intuitive as the Roku boxes, nor as pretty as the Apple TV, yet it is more powerful and capable than both. The Google TV comes with a crazy remote - it's a full sized wireless keyboard with touchpad, yet that's not the … [Read more...]

Dell, Apple and Sony: who is thinner?

January 16, 2008 By

Of course the really big news today is Apple's ultrathin notebook, the MacBook Air.   I have a four month old MacBook and now I feel ancient. But there was another thin product I just learned about that has me even more excited.   A friend of mine noted my post on Sony OLED thin visualizations on Plaxo and pointed me to link for Dell's new "Crystal." From the Dell website:  Tempered glass, highly polished metal tripod stand, unobtrusive … [Read more...]

I'm not complaining about that.  I like cool stuff too.  And actually it makes my job easier since now I have a good way to figure out what customers really want.  All I have to do is watch the hottest shows and see … [Read more...]
