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 [...]

Evan — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 05:16:21 +0000

What do you get when you add Beatboxing, Google+, and the Galaxy Nexus?

A very very super dope commercial. As anyone who as been around me for any considerable amount of time will tell you, I randomly breakout and beatbox….not anywhere near this level however.

Oh yea, hit me up on Google+.

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 [...]

The Verizon Galaxy Nexus Life [Review]

Evan — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 17:55:20 +0000

Once upon a time, Google set out to deliver a pure Android experience. The result of that effort was the Nexus line of Android devices. In January 2010, they released the Nexus One (by HTC), 11 months later, the Nexus S (by Samsung), and just a few short weeks ago, the Galaxy Nexus (also by [...]

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.

First Day Battery Life

Evan — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 04:32:23 +0000

Its always tough gauging the battery life of a phone on the first day because your always playing with it and the battery isn’t fully conditioned yet. Here are the battery stats from the first day. LTE was off until the last fourth of my day.

So, I just took delivery of a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The latest Android handset (running Android 4.0) from Google and Samsung riding on Verizon 4G LTE. How is it?

Very awesome. The first post is going to be rather brief…I’m definitely finding it hard to put the phone down.

The Real Reason Android’s UI Lags?

Evan — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:28:33 +0000

My number one gripe with Android (or at least my Samsung Captivate) is the relative lagginess of the user interface. Andrew Munn, a former software engineer intern on the Android team, lays out his theory, intertwined with tons of facts.

Andrew Munn’s primary explanation behind Android’s UI lagginess…the thread that is responsible for drawing [...]

Android Development: Downloading Files from a Network

Evan — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:50:56 +0000

In GDocs Export, prior to version v2.0.1, I had overlooked a rather serious issue with mobile development.

The issue, limited memory. Android sets a virtual machine heap size, or the maximum amount of memory a process can allocate when running in a Dalvik virtual machine, which all Android applications run on if developed using [...]

Last week, I posted a video sample from Apple’s iPhone 4S. It was a 1080p video and I was blown away. Well GSM Arena, in their preview, posted a 1080P video sample shot by the newly announced, Ice Cream Sandwich eating, Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I was blown away again.

Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich”

Evan — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:55:18 +0000

Google announced Android 4.0, codenamed “Ice Cream Sandwich” this evening.

The most overarching takeaway I got from the live announcement was “Android is now all growed up”. �

Android 4.0 was released with a brand new Nexus device, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It sports:
