Now that we’ve covered the basics of what you need to start your own “digital revolution,” let’s get into the specifics for different solutions. This time around, we’ll talk about (my all-time favorite) the Tablet PC. There are many fish out in that vast Tablet PSea and even more options for applications, so lets sort…

Don’t underestimate the power of voice
"Mr. Spock, you’d make a wonderful computer." – Star Trek "Lock on to him R2!" – Star Wars Episode III People talk to computers in the future. It’s the most natural form of communication. One day I would love to carry a phone that was as smart as R2D2. I can’t live without my Nokia…
Test: Blogging via Microsoft Word 2007
I want to try something new. I love your feedback so tell me what you think about this: Instead of blogging 20+ times a day, I can just keep Microsoft Word open all day and type one long blog post that I would publish at the end of every night. Why would I do such…

So, according to Marclay, Apple “approached us [about…
Nokia: Connecting people … even in the after life
I’m speechless. Utterly speechless. Engadget: Yep, it’s a coffin. Mobile phones have become such a critical part of our daily lives, and apparently they’re becoming a critical part of our deaths now, too — but if you’re going to spend the rest of eternity inside a single phone, do you really want it to be…
Nokia’s Got Google In Its Crosshairs With New Semantic Visual Search Engine
With more and more players entering the mobile search game, it shouldn’t be all that surprising that Nokia is also thinking about starting their own mobile search service.
