Tidbits: Battery Lifesavers, The Governator, and a New Resident Evil Game?

This morning I stumbled upon a pretty good article about the HTC Thunderbolt Android based phone.  Do I have a Thunderbolt?  No, am I getting one?  No.  But my wife uses the HTC Evo, and as of late she has really been complaining about her battery life.  I found she had turned her screen brightness all the way up.  Which of course, was the kiss of death for her battery life (plus she lives on the phone causing even shorter battery life).  So, I forwarded her the...

Tablets, iPads, and other Manufacturers...Oh My!

Looks like the old motto: "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em", isn't one that Dell & HP exec's are even considering.  Instead, they decided to go the "All-American" route and start smack talking.  That's right.  We all know that Apple has been pretty much dominating the tablet corner of the technology market ever since the iPad was released.  Myself, not such a huge fan of how Apple keeps their gadgets locked down.  I like having the freedom to do what I want with my tech....

Quickie Movie Review: "Paul"

Well, my wife was finally able to pull me from my lair that is known as my computer room over the weekend, but she had to do so by promising to show my alien lifeforms.  Then she took me to see "Paul".  Okay, let me honest.  It really wasn't a hard sell for her.  I am a geek for all things science fiction.  Whether it's giant man-eating aliens or little green men, or large headed "greys".  I like them all.  Not prejudiced.  Plus this flick has a great cast....

Movie Review: "Battle: Los Angeles"

This was opening weekend for "Battle: Los Angeles".
