Evan — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 03:30:14 +0000

For the last few days, I’ve been running Ice Cream Sandwich on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. If you only read this one sentence…you should now its fast!

Ice Cream Sandwich comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 by way of the CyanogenMod team and ROM developer Romanbb. CyanogenMod is the largest custom ROM [...]

SOPA Blackout

Evan — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:42:01 +0000

Tomorrow, a number of popular internet websites will be participating in the SOPA Blackout.

Many sites (including Google and Wikipedia) will put up a black page, simulating a SOPA takedown scenario in which their site was blocked from US Citizens at the inkling of a copyright violation from a media content owner. I will be [...]

Vizio Entering the PC Market

Evan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 04:59:17 +0000

Happy New Year! Just read over at The Verge that the big TV manufacturer, Vizio, is getting into the Windows PC market with a plethora of notebooks, ultrabooks, and all-in-one PCs.

They don’t look too bad if I do say so myself. I’m interested to know what materials they used in the design. The [...]

What is SOPA

Evan — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 21:40:23 +0000

Nilay Patel, from The Verge put together a beautiful explanation of what SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act) is.

He starts with a very eye opening analogy.

I walk by a pretty good bootleg DVD stand a few times a month — the proprietor sets up at irregular intervals in Union Square just a [...]

Commuting, Time Lapse Style [Video]

Evan — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 14:21:07 +0000

Things always look cool in a) slow motion & b) time-lapsed. This is my commute with the latter. If only it were this short in realtime.

Shot on my Galaxy Nexus. Definitely recording some more.

Head End: How Cable Gets To Your House [Video]

Evan — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:41:43 +0000

And here I’m thinking its a bunch of monkeys banging on some TVs in a big empty building. Pretty simplistic (and good) explanation, however.

Streaming Video Looks Like…

Evan — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 03:39:12 +0000

…this on your home network.

I was streaming this video (Engadget Show Episode 25) in my browser, Chrome 15. It looks to be a 2.5Mbps MPEG4 video. A common assumption is that, when streaming, the streaming device maintains a constant (relatively) stream throughout the stream. Here we see it happens in bursts. [...]

Windows 8

Evan — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 02:03:07 +0000

Let just start by saying, over the years I have used literally every version of Microsoft Windows since using Windows 3.1 for Workgroups as a kid. Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7…even their mobile iterations of Windows Mobile 5, 6, 6.1, and 6.5…even their CE focused versions. AT&T uses [...]

Quick Look at Gingerbread for the Captivate, Deja Vu Edition

Evan — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 02:32:04 +0000

Way way back (actually only a couple months ago), two Gingerbread leaks (Android 2.3.3) dropped for the Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S for AT&T), I897UCKF1. Improvements included significant performance enhancements, better battery life, and a more Gingerbread-like look and feel. These early leaks while relatively stable for a leak, still lacked the polish needed for [...]

I Love The Hardware

Samsung touts the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as the thinnest tablet out. It is indeed thin. How thin? 8.6mm thin. Thats thinner than my Captivate, [...]

Google’s Senior VP and Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond, has finally put out a statement on where they stand in regards to the IP/patent situation going on between them, Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle in regards to their Android mobile platform.

It has been a year since I had AT&T U-verse installed. I'd like to post some thoughts and such about the service while I had it.

Online Password 1O!

Evan — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:47:45 +0000

These days everything, and I mean everything we do online requires some sort of account. Unfortunately, most people use the same username and password across multiple sites and services, online banking, email, social media, file sharing, etc.

Evan — Sat, 21 May 2011 15:55:06 +0000

Last week, one of the big announcements at Google I/O 2011 was the long awaited Music Beta by Google service. I just received my invitation so I’d thought I would give a first impression.

So, what is Music Beta by Google?

It is essentially an online music locker service. In today’s world [...]

99.7% of Android Users at Risk (Update: To Be Fixed Soon)

Evan — Wed, 18 May 2011 14:37:42 +0000

Researchers at various universities discovered a significant vulnerability that affects the great majority of Android users, 99.7% to be exact. When your Android device (v2.3.4) interacts with any Google service (Contacts, Calendar, & Picasa), it authenticates using ClientLogin, which gives the application an authorization token. The application can use this token up to 2 [...]

The 4G in Atrix 4G Finally Has (Some) Weight

Evan — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 16:59:19 +0000

A while ago, I published an article debunking what AT&T was calling a 4G network and devices. There are currently 2 “4G” handsets on AT&T’s network, the HTC Inspire 4G and the Motorola Atrix 4G. Since then, AT&T has announced an update is coming that will enable HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) which [...]

Last week I received a set of Arctic Sound P311 (Manufacturer) headphones from Amazon. I needed a pair of wireless sport headphones to use for music and some calls at the gym, running, or around the office. Do they fulfill my needs?

The Arctic Sound P311 headphones are a set of Bluetooth [...]

Anti-Muni Bill Advances in North Carolina

Evan — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:12:48 +0000

A pretty hot topic in North Carolina. A little backstory…the goverment of Wilson, NC provides their community (Greenlight) with all fiber ntework internet (up to 100mb/s), cable, and telephone at very competitive rates. At the time, Time Warner Cable, wasn’t providing adequate services and charging very high fees for terrible service. As you can [...]

Put Your Music in the Clouds

Evan — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:57:20 +0000

Last night, Amazon, a cloud service extraordinaire, announced something rather spectacular. They are now, at a variety of pricepoints (and FREE), allowing users to to store their personal music collection on Amazon’s servers so they can listen to it on any web-enabled PC…and Android devices. The services are called Amazon Cloud Drive and [...]
