We’ve heard about the usual differences. An e-book device might be heavier than the real book. The glare on the screen might be bad for your eyes. Lugging a bunch of books around is solved with the e-book device. But, what of the pricing of e-books vs. real books? I …
Office Depot’s kiosk is gone. No remnants of accessories either. I found the last case and charging stand at the local Staples – in the back room. And they were 50% off. A lot of vendors are showing the HP Touchpad is out-of-stock. Radio Shack’s ad in the Sunday paper …
You can’t tell from their website but for the insanely discounted prices on the tablets (accessories only 15% off with tablet purchase). Also, our recently renovated local Office Depot has them on a nice display at only $100 off and nothing else to indicate they are discontinued. HP had a …
This is a great blog regarding our choices for a computing device: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/is-xp-finally-dying-or-is-it-the-pcs-its-been-running-on/53797 I know, as a geek-to-the-extreme, I use Windows 7 on two laptops. I have an iPad 2, an Acer tablet and an HP tablet. So I’m running operating systems (OSes) from HP, Microsoft, Google and Apple. Not …
I’m the Vero Beach Computer Group (vbcg.org) club president. I’m also the speaker tonight. Subject: tablets. I’ll bring my Acer Iconia A500, my Apple iPad 2, my HP TouchPad, my Amazon Kindle DX (for comparison) and a Windows 7 tablet (an older model also for comparison). The meeting begins at …
Wow. This is not your cool sisters iPad 2! Yes I can do flash now. Some that means I can play flash-based Zynga games on Facebook right? Only if you have the patience of a plugged in monk. Farmville detects your Android device and says its unsupported. It won’t play. …
Ok. I live in an old house. Really old. Well, compared to Florida standards. So, my electric outlets are two prong. The walls are coated, sealed and basically built of lead paint – something wifi signals just don’t appreciate. I installed a Linksys E4200 router a few months ago. The …
Ok. So I gave my daughter my oldest iPad (which is still less than a year old). She has friends that have them too. They share app recommendations. So recently she took to the piano. Yeah that big non-electrical noise machine that takes up as much space as a sofa. …
Ghostery has received quite a bit of press lately, so I decided to check it out. It’s a free download at www.ghostery.com. The plug-in is available for several browsers. I use the latest Internet Explorer 9, so I had to turn on my command bar to see the ghostery icon …
Well the local search last Friday was for naught. Best Buy had only wifi models. Same with Walmart. Verizon had none. AT&T had some 3G/Wifi models but not in 64Gb versions. I was 5th in line for only 4 models. If you go to the Apple store to order one, …
